house. this is picture for that meeting. and for the second straight day the dow bounced on wall street. truly an unprecedented thick and it runs completely counter to many of the prognostications out there before. yet another record today after donald trump s win. michelle kosinski is outfront at the white house. michelle, the moment today of this meeting so many people thought 24e8d never see barack obama and donald trump meet, never mind as president and president elect at the white house. maybe even not the two people at the meeting. and tonight outside the white house more protests but inside today it was all about reassurance and everybody on their best behavior. what was so fascinating about this, on the one hand you have this incredibly organized transition process with handshakes and good wishes on all sides. but then on the other, you have this intense bitterness from the campaign trail. and today the white house didn t really hold back in saying that i have great respect. the meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half. and it could have as far as i m concerned it could have gone on for a lot longer. we really we discussed a lot of different situations. some wonderful and some difficulties. i very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel. when asked the white house press secretary said all those warnings from president obama on the campaign trail about trump, that he s dangerous, unqualified, still hold. does the president now have any reason to believe that donald trump is fit to be president of the united states? again, i m not gonna if two men did not relitigate their differences in the oval office. trump s next stop, capitol hill. meetings with leadership. the tone here equally welcoming, putting deep differences aside, for now. more affordable and better. reporter: an impending rolling back of as many of president obama s policies as possible. but the white house couldn t talk about that today, saying essentially what will be will be. america has chosen. my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our president elect is successfulal. ending it all with a joking reminder with one leader to the next, not to take question interests the press. thank you guys. we re not going to be taking any questions. that s good rule. don t answer any questions when their [indiscernible] very good man. well the not only how these two feel about each other but also the fact that donald trump has vowed many times to roll back president obama s policies. is a key job as chief of staff. the other person is a reince priebus. he s also been very integral in trump s world. running the ground population that got donald trump elected. he s been also very personally involved. i m told their bond isn t necessarily as close but certainly much closer than people think. and i m also told by people around washington erin that he would be a consensus choice. knows washington and the republicans on the hill. helping get many of them elected. so that is a choice. and probably the first and most important choings because it is the most personal. dana, thank you very much. and outfront tonight. reince priebus. chairman of the republican national committee. thank you for being with us tonight. i know you are doing this on very little sleep if any. we re told you have spoken to trump about a position in his administration. how did that conversation go? no that is not the case. we don t i m not involved in that. nobody is talking about those things. and so our focus right now is just making sure we re wrapping up the committee work and then, you know, making sure that the transition goes smoothly and so that he can be well equipped come january. and he will be. donald trump does give you a lot of credit for his win. at that moment when the world was watching him give his victory speech. he talked about you. here is what he said. i ll tell you, reince is really a star. and he s the hardest working guy we understand and i know you are saying you haven t talked about it with him. but you are on the list. steve bannon is on the list for trump s chief of staff. if offered would you take that job? do you even want it? i don t i don t to even talk achbbout it. the truth is i m in my job right now, erin. i m chairman of the rnc. it is an important role we play at the national party. and it was a great victory. but those great victories only happen with a great candidate. i m proud of her mechanics and data and i think it is unprecedented. i think it is unbelievable what this committee did. but none of those unbelievable things work if you have a bad candidate. so it always starts with a great candidate. and the other thing it starts with is you have to have a candidate that is flowing with the river. in other words the momentum, the mood of the electorate has to flow with the candidate. all of those things lined up, which is why, you know, i think the media narrative was just so far off on what americans were thinking about the choices they had in front of them. president obama and president elect trump were supposed to meet today for ten minutes. as, you know, that was the schedule. were you surprised after all the and let s just be honest here, frankly horrible things they said about each other that that meeting lasted han hour and a half? no i m not surprised and i ll tell you why. i ve seen president trump in meetings one on one or meetings and things had to be patched up. and people have to get to know each other. he didn t get to where he is. and now he s president elect in the united states. in his business deals, i guarantee you there are all kind of problems he s dealt with. blowout arguments permits or buildings or whatever. he ll walk into a meeting. and people will say this is a gracious personable guy. he s a hard guy not to like, especially in meetings like that. so i m not surprised. do you know what they talked about? have you had a chance to talk to donald trump about it? i talked to him briefly today when he swung through the rnc. but we obviously i wasn t downloading on details with him. but i m sure it was very positive and the reports are indicative of that. you know, bernie sanders today talked about donald trump on cnn. i wanted to play for you part of what e said. the election is over. donald trump won. i intend to work with president trump. i will vigorously oppose him if he appeals to racism or sexism or some of the other discriminatory measures that he brought up during his campaign. reince you have seen the protests. they are out there again on the streets tonight protests against trump s presidency. does he need to. does he feel he should reach out to these people explicitly and assuage their fears? well erin yesterday morning keep in mind donald trump spoke to the american people, just yesterday morning. and when he was getting ready for that speech, it was nothing about bragging about the election, nothing about continuing the rhetoric, the political rhetoric that was that was indicative of a political campaign. it was all about coming together, leading all americans no matter battleground, race, ethnicity, gender, whatever the case is. and it was donald trump that led. and it was him that decided this is the direction to go. let s bring people together. let s cool the water. so this is how it is going to be from now. that is what he did. it wasn t a speech nartd wloer said read this speech. no he sat down and made sure it was the right speech at the right time. and just yesterday morning, his sitting down with 90 minutes with the president. is another indicator. people should look at. here is a person who just won the presidency. and he s sitting down having a 90 minute conversation should have been 10 with the president and she s working hard and showing the country he s working hard to move the country forward. but i would say the agenda americans were in favor of was an agenda that the republican party, meaning our candidate, including president elect trump, house and senate candidates put on the table. the other part of this is that we have an obligation then to pursue the promises that we made in t in the campaign that people voted for. they voted and said yes we with want those things to be done in washington. so those things will be done. we don t have a mandate to water down our promises. we have a mandate to perform the things that we promised. so a wall banni, banning mus immigration from that s not the promise that is not the position he laid out. and this has now been since june that he gave that speech. i believe to either the american leagues or vfw. in june he said his position is if the country is harbor b terrorists in the risk of the security of the united states that he would take member to suspend those immigration visas until a better vetting system is in place. that is consistent with many bills in the house and senate. and it is what donald trump s position is. so if the media wants to go back now. not you in particular erin, but if if media wants to go back now and stir the pot and now claim he want this is muslim ban that he s made it clear through a three disabilities through june that this was not his position. it would do us all a favor if the media would get together and quit stirring the pot he did say it originally. and i donald trump and then it is going to be certain countries. and then countries that harbor terrorists. those what are those countries? is that nothing to do with being muslim at all? he s got to iron out very completely what he meant because he made it very clearly about religion. he said repeatedly that there is no religious test. and for you all to be coming back and relitigating something that was that is now five months old is what the problem is in our country. the problem is we ve got to fill 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of cable stations that create these issues that don t exist, and then turn people against each other. if the media is so interested in america coming together, then they ought to do their job and quit stirring the pot where it should belong. do you think reince that he also carry answer obligation? you have muslims in this country who are worried. they are afraid. they are afraid of what will happen and they are afraid of what erin i ve talked to ceos in other countries who are worried about this. isn t this incumbent on donald trump to come out and be very clear and the leader e rrin, listen. i think you are very good but i m very surprised that this is the conversation we re having. yesterday morning, yesterday morning, he just gave a speech about americans coming together. and you are asking me now on thursday whether he needs to do another i mean, i m not sure what you are asking for. he s the president for all americans. he s made that very clear. we re making it clear. and to go back to, you know, old issues when they have been asked over and over again and have been answer by president elect trump, people need to understand that he understands. i promise you. i know where his head and heart is at. and he said it. so just trust his own words. he ll be a president for all american, republican, democrat, independent, any religion, any faith. he s your president and he s going do the he s going to do a fantastic job and he understands the gravity and the seriousness of the position. reince priebus. thank you very much. appreciate your time tonight. thank you erin. and new tonight donald and melania trump are back in new york tonight. melania trump spent the morning with the first lady, michelle obama and this is a picture of the first meeting, the two having tea, after one of the ugliest presidential campaigns in recent history. suzanne malveaux is out fror ou at the white house. reporter: one thing to talk about your kids. safe territory. a good ice breaker. that is exactly what michelle obama as well as melania trump did. you might recall, sasha and malia were quite young. and it is melania trump whose concerned. very protective of her 10-year-old son baron. so that is something they share. this is very different than what their husbands experienced today. no cameras not. press. we have one photo from the white house press office. all smiles. we are told that it started off with a tour of the residence. and went to the truman balcony. that as you know erin the place where the first lady and barack obama, the president, spending a lot of quality time there. so it is a special place for them. they took them there. and also melania was shown taken to the state floor in the white house to meet with the curator of the white house. that is bill almond. and he really is a human encyclopedia for all things inside of the building. and so she got a tour and she also got a lot of ideas about the white house looks like. the public space as well as the private space. and all of this as you know really meant to give them an opportunity, a chance to break the ice here in light of a very bitter campaign. this was with michelle obama saying quite publicly, quite forcefully making her case that she did not believe melania s husband was fit for the office and also followed the rnc convention where we saw melania introduce her husband but also seemingly take a portion from her speech very similar to michelle obama s in 2008. so there is a lot of fodder there for both of they want. but the white house says this is just the first of many meetings, erin. all right. thank you very much suzanne. a meeting would have been great to be a fly on the wall in both meetings. joining us now our panel. we ll see who ends up being the chief of staff. let s start with what you just saw. the michelle obama and melania trump meeting. symbolic moment but obviously very cordial. both of these meetings between donald trump and the president and melania trump and michelle obama. this is good for the american people to see. because it does represent i turning the page. going away from this nasty campaign where everyone said mean things about each other. now we re moving forward. it is the hallmark of the united states t peaceful transition of power. and it is heartening no see them talking to each other like civil humans. and let s because if anybody wouldn t be able to talk to each other likes civil human, it might be these two people given what they have said in the past. and yet they were so gracious to each other today. here are some of the things they had to say about each other. my priority is my son barron our son barron. i m a full time mother to our son barron. at the end of the day my most important title is still mom in chief. actually that wasn t the sound bite i was looking for. but phillip, you know they do have obviously having in common. michelle and melania trump. but let me play what i wanted to play which is president obama and president elect donald trump saying such nice things about each other today. i have been very encouraged by the, i think, interest in president elect trump s wanting to work with my team. mr. president, it was a great honor being with you. and i look forward to being with you many, many more times in the future. very good man. thank you guys. heartening things to hear. heartening image and hopefully healing for americans who are so divided right now. amazing picture because donald trump sitting in front of a bust of martin luther king j.r. it is a peaceful transition of power. i do think it seemed like he was a little nervous and understandably so. the weight of this job is going to be tremendous. and i think in that 90 minute time period donald trump got an understanding of just how important this road is going to be. i want to ask on the issue that came up in reince priebus and my conversation about the in this case it was about how donald trump would treat muslims. but there are other groups in this country who are also concerned. does donald trump need to speak to these people? some of whom are protesting now. and say if his policies have changed, how and why? does he need to talk to them david? yes i think he does. i don t think he needs do it immediately. and you have to say both he and president obama have given an excellent tone for the transition. gives us many you have more assurance about how the transition itself will be conducted. there are going to be issues that come up in the next few days. if trump names steve bannon as his chief of staff you are going to hear a lot of flurry about that one. but beyond that, i think that over time he does need to reach out. he ll have a couple of speeches coming up i m sure public remarks where he can say some of those things. but ify if he were more proactive and call people in and talk to them. that is the kind of smart thing. you sometimes needs to do things that are a little daring in order to get attention and people say yeah okay i get it. should he do that jeffrey? call? have a meeting with whatever group it may be. muslim americans. muslim leaders in this country. zrump a good leader. he s a good executive. the donald trump you saw there is the donald trump that i know and so many of his friends and the people who work for him now. skpoi totally expect him to be doing this. that said i want to say something about the protests here. i have the gray hair for a reason. and it is because at my age i have seen i ve grown up. and in my lifetime i have seen. and i m sure some of these are the same people in the streets over vietnam. there were a million people in the streets protesting ronald reagan s nuclear policy. they are demanding nuclear free. carrying paper ma shay heads and saying it is not a movie ron. they do the this all the time. they are going to do this to donald trump. they did it to poor hubert humphrey in chicago. some of these people are not going to change because it is their profession. this is not vanity. that is reaction to real concerns. we may not remember exactly everything donald trump said during the course of the campaign but we ll remember how we felt. whether it is the muslim community, whether it is african americans being concerned about the reintroduction of stop and frisk. whether it is the immigrant community broadly. i think there is real anger and concern. look, the tone on tuesday night and told have been great. so the question then becomes is he going to be the person that is welcoming to all these communities and let people know that he is going to be the president for everyone? i was in the protests last nights. i was watching your twitter feed. it was young people. promptly young women who are concerned about donald trump not because they are concerned about donald trump s policies. they are concerned about donald trump as donald trump. and donald trump cannot sit down with a woman and make that go away. he needs to demonstrate other the next four years he s doing significant outreach and not doing the things people are worried about with women. not doing the things people are worried with the african american community and tot doing the things people worried about with the african american community. hillary clinton seen for the first time since her concession speech. my guest, hillary clinton support wloer randomly spotted her in the woods alone on a hike today. guess who took the pitcher. and the gop waging war on president obama s signature achievement. just rhetoric? or is obamacare a goner? when it comes to heartburn. trust the brand doctors trust. nexium 24hr is the #1 choice of doctors and pharmacists for their own frequent heartburn. for all day and all night protection. banish the burn. with nexium 24hr. when you find something worth waiting for, we ll help you invest to protect it for the future. financial guidance while you re mastering life. from chase, so you can. what? is he gone?? finally, i thought he d never leave. tv character: why are you texting my man at 2 a.m.? no. if you want someone to leave you alone, you pretend like you re sleeping. it s what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it s what you do. tv character: taking selfies in the kitchen does not make you a model. people saw an incredibly painful moment for her. how did she seem to you? honestly i think she seemed as well as anybody could be expected after, you know, such a crazy, crazy experience. i can t speak to how she was feeling on the inside. but she couldn t have seemed any nicer or kinder and gracious to me. you know, i think it was a very dark day for a lot of people yesterday. so this was a very hopeful encouraging moment for me. and that is really why i posted the picture at all. and bill clinton i know was there margo. he s not in the picture. he took the picture actually. all right. thank you so much. i appreciate you taking the time margo. and there are many who were very eager to see this picture. and thank you for sharing it. thank you. i hope it makes people feel hopeful and comforted. that is really why i posted it. thank you. thank you so much. we re learning more tonight about what the clinton campaign thinks went so wrong versus what they expected. obviously she was out in the woods with bill taking a walk today. and she posed for that pitcher. life goes on. it has to. and the fact they are hiking in the woods. but i think, you know, to that woman s point, seeing a lot of hillary clinton supporters in my facebook feed and on twitter, i think a lot of women especially just wanted to give her a hug. so hearing that, that this women did that, i think she spoke for a lot of folks out there who are upset. and there are. there are tens of millions of them when you look at the vote here. that is how this country s split. and better the donald trump loss. and the other way around as well. and the new york times is reporting that hillary clinton privately is admitting she stepped in when he did something that . she said deplorables. let me just play exactly what she said. to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of trump s supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. right? the racists, sexists, homophobic, zxenophobic, islamophobic, you name it. and unfortunately there are people like that. is that something a lot of people heard. pollsters didn t pick it up and that over the summer could have started to turn that rust belt away from her. i don t know if that is the issue. i do think she believes it was a m misbecause she said so right afterwards. i don t think that in and itself was the issue. i do believe that the way in which she characterized some of donald trump s comments, i think that those are things over the course of time we ve seen and i ve rashed about it. and others have remarked about it. but i think she was particularly contrite o about that and admitted it off the bat. i think the e-mails themselves and the stories about the e-mails that have been fed into the narrative was difficult to over come be. do you think that this actually influenced people. i think it did. and i want to in a partial sense defend hillary clinton here. i think she really believes that but she is not alone right and the things she added. i went back a looked at the speech she had at wesley when she graduated and it has similarities. when i was a wanna beliberal in college. and i began to pick up this the contempt which i believe american liberalism has come to exemplify. and that little statement from her is a snapshot. i totally convinced she really believes it. and more to the point t people that were in the room laughing all agree. ed think you take it a lit too far. they say that liberals have a contempt with the working class which so many of us and to be able to say that she herself has that kind of contempt i think is stretching that comment moral of the story is talk about the candidate. don t talk about their voters. consistently for weeks now. this contrast between the elites hillary clinton represented and donald trump despite where he lives and all his money what he represented to folks and i they that does reinforce but i don t think it made a huge difference in the campaign. and next the gop threatening to rip obama s signature issue to shreds. can he just get rid of obamacare just like that. and taylor swift and barron and donald driving. to help prevent another one. a bayer aspirin regimen is one of those steps in helping prevent another stroke. be sure to talk

road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me. my name is jamir dixon and i m a locafor pg&e.rk fieldman most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new. it s an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your

i think about my own kids. they re the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i ll drive it every day of the week. together, we re building a better california. been a gop rallying cry since the law was enacted more than six years ago. real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing obamacare. reporter: but they have failed repeatedly to overcome democratic resistance over repealing the law. with trump now headed to the oval office and the gop controlling both chambers of congress, the law appears to be on life support. when donald trump said he wants a special session to repeal and replace obamacare, let me tell you, as a speaker of the house. not only yes, but he cck yes. we re ready do that too. reporter: republicans are likely to hold fifty senate seats in the senate. and they only need 51. so subsidies and taxes expansion of medicaid could be on the chopping block. yet there are limits. it would require 60 votes to repeal other provrgss such as allowing people to have preexisting conditions to get health insurance. and republicans would need democratic support on a bill to replace obamacare. a difficult task over such a polarizing issue. obama making an appeal to voters while campaigning for hillary clinton. 20 million americans have health insurance that didn t visit before. but make no mistake, all that progress goes down the drain if we don t win tomorrow. democrats in congress plan to fight tooth and nail to save the sweeping law. if we re going to repeal and replace we need to replace with something that doesn t take healthcare away or insurance away from 20 million people. but goppers say voters expect them to do away with healthcare. let s say every single republican thought obamacare was a mistake. without exception. that s still our view. and you can expect us with a new president who has the same view to address that issue. reporter: passing a replacement bill could take up to two years erin. the entire during of congress. that is if they get democratic support. and in the meantime as the obama administration leaves office they are redoubling efforts to get people to sign up through the healthcare.gov website. a hundred thousand people signed up, the day after the election. the best day yet in open enrollment. so shows how difficult to be to simply gut the law. a fascinating one to watch. but i think it can go in a category of the promise that trump will keep not. matter up. i outfront next, isis threatening to bring disaster to america. what is president elect trump going to do about it? plus the other side of the melania trump. look at this donald trump driving. barron in the front seat. and the melania filming in the back. introducing the new turbocharged volkswagen alltrack with 4motion all-wheel drive. soon to be. everywhere. and it s empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesn t seem right. at bp, safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. at bp, safety is never being satisfied. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what s up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern. break news. we re watching anti-trump protests again across the country. as anti-trump protesters. meeting with his transition team tomorrow and the top priority is the 800 jobs that require security clearance. outfront tonight a man who has been working since long before election day on trump s national security team. former chairman of the house select on intelligence and the more. it s been about 41 hours since the seismic event that so few expected. donald trump is the next president of the united states. you have been working with the trump team for a long time before election day but take me inside the room for these 41 hours. what has this been like for you. well can t take it too far into the room erin. but what i can tell you is this. this is very professionally run. i saw earlier reports that oh no they don t have a transition team. weren t engaged in it. this was very separate from the campaign. if trump was up 50 or down 7, it never mattered. the election came. i think there were some surprises for the folks on the transition team thinking it was a day that we were going to hand in our gear. instead it turned ourt. here is the good news. all of that preparation had already happened up to election day. so the surprise in the election didn t change that. president elect trump is going to get a full and robust package. everything from national security to economics, to all of it. including prevetting of individuals they believed could be could phil some on these important jobs so he could get up and running and make sure that the country has been taken care of. and i ll tell you the obama administration has been very professional and took the model from george w. bush and said we want to duplicate it and they have lived occupy that. a very commendable transition insuring that the handoff of the baton is good for america at the end of the day. so that part has been really refreshing and gives you faith i think in the country. an area i think you know too well. it s al qaeda terrorists, have been celebrating says it will bring disasters to the united states on the social media. what is your rookieaction to th fill in a candidate who would have won. either one they were going to do this. i would discard it pretty much immediately. there will be a change. i m sure there is going to be a strange in strategy for sure and for certain when it comes to targeting isis. but that effort is really try to get into america s head and our allies in europe. so i think you got to shrug that off like you would anything else. and remember they have a goal. they are trying to disrupt and cause a little disruption. we ought not to let them do it. and quickly, barbara starr is saying if trump gave the illegal order of water boarding to some generals. so purely speculation and so early. he s going to get in. he s going to get lots of briefs. he s going to understand what his options are. . i have no indication not even a outside of the bounds of his - legal boundaries. i dismiss it. this is a president who s come in and said i want professionals in all of these places. they have done that. there is professional transition. he s going to get professional advice. i think he s going to take it. and very quickly before we go, fbi special agent for five years. you are respected on both sides of the aisle. a lot of people are saying you could be up for a top job. say cia director. would you take it if offered congressman? i can t even. wouldn t even hesitate to bother to speculate. the whole focus is on the transition and honestly nothing more. thank you. appreciate your time. good to talk to you tonight. thank you. and next melania trump embracing her new title. crohn s disease.te to se i didn t think there was anything else to talk about. but then i realized there was. so, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. he said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn s disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. if you re still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. i use what s already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what s within me with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it s supposed to do release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. it should be used along with diet and exercise. trulicity is not recommended as the first medicine to treat diabetes and should not be used by people with severe stomach or intestinal problems or people with type i diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. trulicity is not insulin and has not been studied with long-acting insulin. do not take trulicity if you or anyone in your family has had medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 or if you are allergic to trulicity or its ingredients. stop using trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as itching, rash, or difficulty breathing; if you have signs of pancreatitis such as severe stomach pain that will not go away and may move to your back, with or without vomiting or if you have symptoms of thyroid cancer, which may include a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. medicines like trulicity may cause stomach problems, which could be severe. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and any medicines you take. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney failure. with trulicity, i click to activate what s within me. if you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar numbers with a non-insulin option, click to activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. will melania trump be a model first lady?

it sells for just over $2,300. that comes out to about $2 a beer. up to you. buy it if you want. celebrate. i m sandra smith. here s harris faulkner in for shepard smith. after a victory, republicans are getting ready for the next battle over healthcare in america. it won t be easy. with one republican senator saying it has zero chance of moving forward. others say it has a bumpy road ahead. we ll have updates from capitol hill and the white house. when chris wallace joins me, i ll ask him how people feel about the changes proposed so far. unemployment just hit its lowest level in a decade. what it means for our economy and your money. are two of the planets most dangerous nations about joining forces? a connection with iran and north kor korea. and who is trying to kill kim jong-un? the assassination accusation. it s friday. time for the news. i m harris faulkner in today for shepard smith. you might call it a healthcare hangover. some bracing for changes to a republican healthcare bill that is just barely a day old. it s headed to the senate, as you know. the deputy press secretary said the president expects changes, but wants the main pillars to remain the same. some republican senators have announced they re not going to support the measure without major adjustments. as we watched on fox news, the white house celebrated with a news conference at the rose garden. the house passed the measure 217 to 213. somebody noticed cases of beer being wheeled out through the hall. no some say it could get bumpy. lamar alexander said we ll be writing our own bill. the senate could use the house measure as a resource for ideas. moderate republican senators have criticized one of the major provisions for rolling back the expansion under obamacare. conservative senators say it doesn t go far much the to replace obamacare. so it works this way. the house passed it, the senate will do its own dance. if changes are made, it goes back to the house for approval. the president declared victory on twitter today. big win in the house, very exciting. when everything comes together with phase two, we ll truly have great healthcare. last night hours after the vote, he said this is a great plan that is a repeal and replace of obamacare, make no mistake about it. john roberts is live for us outside the white house. obviously. good to see you, john. good to see you, harris. there s a phase 3 the president didn t talk about in the tweet. he s trying to take this a bite at a time. he got phase 1 through the house and now looking at phase 2 and needs to get phase 1 through the senate. as you pointed out, yesterday was about the celebration. this is where the process is going next. the president optimistic that he can get this thing through the senate. the big question is, what is it going to look like when it eventually gets through the senate. there s some people on the republican side saying, you know what? i like what the house did. but we re going to do our own bill and start from scratch on all of that. at the briefing a short time ago, i asked the principal deputy who made her debut. let s listen in. on the process of getting the american healthcare act through the senate, there s some talk they may have to go back to the drawing board. it s a heavy left getting the hda through the house. does the president expect the process in the senate could be even more difficult? i think that the one thing that you can be sure of is to never underestimate this president. he s shown time and time again when he s committed to something, it s going to get done. he s made no secret. he s committed to reforming the healthcare system. you ll see that process take place. the main pillar that sarah huckabee sanders was talking about, quality healthcare, access to healthcare and a lower price and more consistencconsis. people are waiting to see in the next phase, the idea of going across state lines for your healthcare. we ll watch for that. what did the white house have to say about how the bill handles people with pre-existing conditions? this is a big question that a lot of critics have. the way it s crafted, it allows states to seek a waiver from the mandates of essential healthnd conditions. the president has said on repeated occasions that it absolutely has to cover pre-existing conditions to people that already have an illness have to have access to healthcare. that s one of the reasons why fred upton of michigan and billy long of missouri came to the white house the other day, because they shared the same concerns. they came up with the plan that would designate a pot of money towards premium support for people with pre-existing conditions. sarah huckabee sanders on that point. one of the biggest priorities of this bill particularly for the president was ensuring that people with pre-existing conditions were protected. the final bill added an additional $8 billion to go a step further. the big question is whether or not $8 billion is enough to cover all the people that had pre-existing conditions. the white house suggesting, harris, the number of people that go into premium support could be very small compared to the overall population. you know what? i want you to stay where you are. we want more from john roberts. the labor department says the jobless rate hit the lowest point in a decade last month. the feds say unemployment was 4.4% in april. i m working with john thune on an amendment to address that right now. medicaid, we have to make sure it works for the states that took the expansion. ohio senator rob portman not pulling any punches saying he has serious issues with the house bill. he said i already made clear i don t support the bill as constructed because i can t to have concerns that this bill doesn t do enough to protect ohio s medicaid expansion population and those receiving treatment for heroin and prescription drug abuse . there s 52 republicans in the senate. portman and just about everybody else is really important, harris. the american public that voted like single issue on this is kind of anticipating that this is how it works, right? they go around around make some changes. people are not talking about are the democrats and all of the bipartisanship that they talked about was possible in all of this. it will be i m curious to see how it works out. what is next in the senate? bottom line, those that have been talking about healthcare, i m told they ve talked for months on the senate side and what they ll do when they get a bill from the house of representatives. those involved in the talks say they re looking forward to getting cracking. we ll move ahead with deliberate speed. we re doing that because exchanges are collapsing and people could be without insurance, premiums go up if we don t act. but we want to get it right. there s no artificial deadlines. we ll carefully consider the legislation passed by the house. we heard about democrats talking about improving obamacare. some democrats said they re willing to talk with republicans about improvement if not quite repeal and replacement of obamacare. it s important to get it into the senate. if we take healthcare seriously, we ll put the bill in the fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it s what you do. número uno! when i went on to ancestry, i just put in the name yes, we are twins. of my parents and my grandparents. i was getting all these leaves and i was going back generation after generation. you start to see documents and you see signatures of people that you ve never met. i mean, you don t know these people, but you feel like you do. you get connected to them. i wish that i could get into a time machine and go back 100 years, 200 years and just meet these people. being on ancestry just made me feel like i belonged somewhere. discover your story. start searching for free now at ancestry.com. i need my blood sugar to stay in control. weekends are my time. i need an insulin that fits my schedule. tresiba® ready (announcer) tresiba® is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. don t use tresiba® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. don t share needles or insulin pens. don t reuse needles. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which may cause dizziness, sweating, confusion, and headac.. check your blood sugar. low blood sugar can be serious and may be life-threatening. injection site reactions may occur. tell your prescriber about all medicines you take and all your medical conditions. taking tzds with insinins like tresiba® may cause serious side effects like heart failure. your insulin dose shouldn t be changed without asking your prescriber. get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing, fast heartbeat, extreme drowsiness, swelling of your face, toueue, or throat, dizziness, or confusion. ask your health care provider if you re tresiba® ready. covered by most insurance and medicare plans. tresiba® ready harris: so you have a pre-existing conditions and you want to keep your health insurance? chris wallace, good to see you. this is one of the big talkers for americans. they anticipate in washington, they ll go back and forth with changes. i want your view on what people should be bracing for or ready for. well, there s going to be winners and losers. let s make it clear at the start. this is assuming that the house bill becomes the law. it won t become the law as you just reported. there will be changes in the senate. assuming what was passed by the house yesterday became the law, there would be winners and losers. young healthy people would be better off. their premiums would go down. older people, their premiums would go up. people with pre-existing conditions, it s not clear. they would have more to worry about than under obamacare, whether it was a flat regulation, you could not charge people with pre-existing conditions any more than people that did have the conditions. harris: i asked our team here to get a list. this will vary by state. lupus, alcohol abuse, alzheimer s, arthritis. the list is long in pre-existing conditions and could vary by states for the reasons that you spoke of. a last word on that and then we ll move on. a lot we don t know in this in the house bill because of the fact that some states would decide to live by the federal mandates that will continue to ban any discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions. but there s state waivers. if states can justified to the federal government, they can drop out of a lot of these things, pre-existing conditions, essential health benefits. there s this insurance mandate under obamacare that everything from mental health to maternity care, all have to be covered in every insurance policy. if states decide to take the waiver, they can say we ll take this part of the essential benefits and drop them. and an insurance company in oklahoma can say we re not going to live by the essential benefits in oklahoma. we re going to take the essential benefits in arizona. so it really is going to be a very different and much more checkered playing field than what you have under obamacare. harris: sure. then you have the players like rand paul, the senators, ted cruz that said you have to repeal it all and start over. you have mayor key people that we need to watch. you have lisa murkowski of alaska that doesn t like the medicaid point. let s talk about the six or seven senators to keep our eye on and what we re watching for. on the one hand, you have the hardliners. rand paul, ted cruz, mike lee. they were quiet yesterday. they didn t say it doesn t go far enough. in the past they have said they don t want government regulation of healthcare. even with this bill, with all the changes, repeal and replace, a lot of government regulation of healthcare. so it will be interesting to see how far they re willing to go or are they going to push for more. on the other hand, you have more moderate people, like lisa murkowski of alaska. harris: susan collins. she s another one. yeah. particularly in states that agreed to the medicaid expansion, which meant that people that previously haven t been covered by medicaid now were because they were above an income level. they re worried medicaid expansion will be rolled back if the house bill becomes law and they have hundreds of thousands of constituents in their states that have healthcare coverage under obamacare that would lose it with the roll back of medicaid expansion. they re not going to want to see that happen. that really gets tough. that is one of the things that absolutely had to happen in the house. remember, whatever the senate comes back with and dramatically different than the house, then they have to find a way to reconcile in a conference committee the senate version and the house version. as we saw the house version, which is more conservative than the senate version, it passed with one vote. anything to change the bill changes the balance of power in the house. harris: so those are potentially republicans on the bubble. what about democrats? anybody that could be pulled over? there s some that are talking about it. john tesser of montana, some of the conservative democrats, particularly those that are facing re-election in states that donald trump won facing re-election in 2018 in the mid-terms. i have to tell you, there s not been a democrat so far that has gone with this. yes, i understand that it s hard to oppose president trump in a state that he carried if you re a democrat. on the other hand, it s hard to go something called obamacare repeal and replace if you re a democrat. you ll lose a lot of your own voters in your state. harris: while you were talking, president trump tweeted this out. of course the australians have better healthcare than we do. everybody does. obamacare is date but healthcare will soon be great. this has just gone out. we ve been keeping up with him, as we all do. especially on a friday afternoon after his deputy press secretary has spoken to the media. we get new information. i want the get your response to that before i let you go. yeah, well, what this is about is that yesterday in his meeting with the australian prime minister, the president said well, i have to admit you have better health insurance now than we do. he went on to say but ours will get better after this repeal and replace. the key there, this is what people like bernie sanders noted, the australian plan is single payer like in britain and canada. while the president and his people are saying, he was being polite to the prime minister, they re saying, well, yeah, single player government-run healthcare is better than any system than we ll have under obamacare repeal and replace. harris: democrats are saying, wait, did you say single payer? around and around we go. chris wallace, i know what i m doing. i m watching you. thank you. chris will have the latest on the healthcare battle on fox news sunday with reince priebus. that s sunday on your local fox broadcast station. pentagon officials say iran and north korea may be working together on their weapons programs. one analyst says iran is copying north korea s missile design. i ll speak with jack keane coming up. we ll talk about that. stay with us. when my doctor told me i have age-related macular degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. and we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. how to brush his teeth. (woman vo) in march, my husband didn t recognize our grandson. (woman 2 vo) that s when moderate alzheimer s made me a caregiver. (avo) if their alzheimer s is getting worse, ask about once-a-day namzaric. namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer s disease in patients who are taking donepezil. it may improve cognition and overall function, and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. namzaric does not change the underlying disease progression. don t take if allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine, or any of the ingredients in namzaric. tell the doctor about any conditions; including heart, lung, bladder, kidney or liver problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, or procedures with anesthesia. serious side effects may occur, including muscle problems if given anesthesia; slow heartbeat, fainting, more stomach acid which may lead to ulcers and bleeding; nausea, vomiting, difficulty urinating, seizures, and worsening of lung problems. most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, dizziness, loss of appetite, and bruising. (woman 2 vo) i don t know what tomorrow will bring but i m doing what i can. (avo) ask about namzaric today. your insurance on time. tap one little bumper, and up go your rates. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? news flash: nobody s perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won t raise your rates due to your first accident. switch and you could save $509 on auto insurance. call for a free quote today. liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance. harris: pentagon officials say they have new evidence that north korea and iran s military are sharing information about their missile programs. earlier this week iran tried and failed to launch a missile under water and failed. it was the first time they tried to do that and said the submarine system was based on a north korean system. let s bring in general jack keane, a fox news military analyst. general, thanks for joining us today. glad to be here. harris: how concerned are you about these two in particular getting together and is this evidence strong in your point of view? oh, yeah. overwhelmingly so. this is a 20-plus year close relationship. the iranians are following the north korean playbook about as close as you can. the north koreans in the 90s negotiated to us, lying about their nuclear intentions. they went back to developing a nuclear weapon. in 2003, they declared they had it. the iranians saying they re only building nuclear power for energy, not weapons. they had secret sites. what happened in iran, we found them because of informants. they were exposed. they followed the exact playbook. their missiles are exact replicas by and large of north korean missiles. their nuclear technology is north korean technology. they both want to have nuclear weapons to be sure. the iranians have never given up on that. they both want ballistic missile s and fire them from the surface and subsurface. north korean is leading the technology effort on all of that. harris: general, the american public has been told to believe there s so many immediate imminent threats. first it was the islamic state savages. talk about the urgency now and the reporting that we re also witnessing in this era about iran and north korea. well, iran, i believe, is a major threat in the middle east. middle more so than radical islamics that are a clear threat. we see the evidence of that all the time. they run around the world killing people. the iranians are a more serious threat. they have conventional military, they have missiles, developing ballistic missiles and they want a nuclear weapon. according to the deal that the previous administration made, they are likely to get nuclear weapons unless this administration puts a stop to it. so yes, that is a major concern for us. the iranians threat in the middle east and the north korean threat in the far east and our bases and our allies also a major threat to us. harris: are you confident that president trump gets this? i want to talk with you about the news that he dropped. that is that he s getting ready to make his first trip as president overseas and he s going to the middle east. the very place you re talking about right now. how does that inform you about the confidence that you may have in this president moving forward? first of all, he absolutely gets the danger of both of these threats. all of his national security advisers have been speaking out about the threats. obviously the president put the military option back on the table and is negotiating with the chinese. that s a plus. this trip to the middle east is a big deal. he making a statement that the middle east is a priority for me. he s going to make a statement that i have israel s back and i have the sunni arab s back in the middle east and we re going to stand up against radical islam and counter the iranians. that is not the position of the previous administration. that is going to be so well-received by our allies. the israelis doubted the previous administration s commitment. the sunnis were convinced that the united states had moved away from their previous security commitment. what about the president s authorization of this military to do what it needs to do? i have to let you go quickly but not without asking you about that. what is difference between now and what we previously had? it s about trust in confidence in our commanders to do things within their conflict area, let them make the decisions. they don t have to ask permissions. they have the resources and capabilities and great troops. leave them alone. judge them by their results. couldn t be better. harris: general jack keane, thanks for joining us with your expertise. good talking to you. a u.s. navy seal was killed in a fierce gun bat until somalia. this comes after a time when u.s. forces are in harm s way all over the middle east. president trump is encouraging more aggressive military action in the region and we just reported he s going there. he wants to wipe out terrorist organizations. our political panel all talk military now. we ll weigh-in on the possibilities, the benefits, the danger of the president s strategy. stay with us. i use what s already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what s within me with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it s supposed to do release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen. and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. trulicity is not insulin. it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take trulicity if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid cancer, if you ve had multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to trulicity. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as itching, rash, or trouble breathing; a lump or swelling in your neck; or severe pain in your stomach area. serious side effects may include pancreatitis, which can be fatal. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may make existing kidney problems worse. with trulicity, i click to activate what s within me. if you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar numbers with a non-insulin option, click to activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. i m lea gabrielle with a fox report. more of today s headlines. severe weather slamming parts of the southeast. a possible tornado tore off the roof and walls of an auto parts store in eastern georgia. near greensboro, north carolina, violent storms took down trees and powerlines. thousands lost electricity and some schools are closed today. firefighters rescuing two hikers from a hillside. rescuers planning to release them to their parents. no word on how long they were stuck. one of america s most famous pilots taking flight with the thunder birds. captain sully sullenberger joined the team to promote and upcoming air show. sully became a hero in 2009 when a bird strike forced him to land a commercial jet in the hudson river and everybody survived. the news continues with harris faulkner next. i don t know why i didn t get screened a long time ago. to understand your best plan of action. so why didn t we do this earlier? life line screening. the power of preventvention. call now to learn more. a u.s. navy seal was killed fighting terrorists in somalia. we don t know yet their conditions. this happened about 40 miles west of the capital of mogadushu. u.s. forces were helping somali troops were an operation against an al-quaida affiliate. forces say they re trying to prevent the group from plotting terror attacks. president trump gave the pentagon the green light to go on the green lightning against al shabaab. u.s. commanders say they got the authority to launch yesterday s operation during the obama administration. an interesting note as well. leland vittert is live at the pentagon. clearly something went very wrong during this overnight raid. the pentagon is not sure what it was. they were targeting a compound that al shabaab used to launch attacks against americans and other targets inside africa in general. reuters is reporting that the real target was a leader that played a key role in an attack on a local university in kenya that had 150 dead. most of the dead christians. a $5 million bounty on his head. the seals were advising soldiers and flew in by helicopter 40 miles east of the capitol. early during this assault, down on the coast is when they took heavy fire and the american died. we first and foremost want to express our deepest condolences and deepest appreciation for all of the men and women in the military. now, the pentagon says they still don t know if the mission was a success in terms of kill and capture for the al shabaab leader that they were looking for. we have a lot of history in somalia. this is the first american combat death in somalia since 1993. leland, thank you. the political panel is here. sarah linty, from the national security council under condoleezza rice. and david defury, a former state department official. good to have you both. sarah, this is interesting because what happened yesterday was actually kind of a leftover in terms of authorization from the obama administration. but definitely what happens going forward, president trump is taking a very different path in places like somalia. he is. he turned military operations over to the pentagon, to be left to their discretion. in my humble opinion, this is a good thing. when it comes to difficult tactical operations, i think decisions are best made in the hands of military professionals like secretary defense mattis. it s a pivot. harris: what is interesting, david, president obama, formerly, was often criticized for not being clear about what his brand of foreign policy was with regard to some of these nations and certainly fighting isis and others in that part of the world. we heard him spill out words like j.v. team. i don t want to go far down that road, but i want your idea on how much more on point do you think that this current president is and your opinion on that. look, this change in approach may be a welcome one. i traveled to iraq frequently. special forces that we have there that are fighting isis in iraq often chased about the rules of engagement with a cagey opponent like isis that makes all sorts of changes in strategy. it s good for the war fighters on the ground to have discretion about how they will fight back against isis and how they re going to defeat isis. that s a positive. i agree that president obama was slow to create a plan for fighting isis, but actually in the last year of his administration and certainly towards the end of his administration, he was doing a very good job of fighting isis. he planned the campaign to liberate mosul. that s going well. we re pretty close to pushing isis out of iraq. they remain in two cities other than mosul. we will be successful there. so let s continue that plan. the loosening of rules of engagement can be a positive. it s important to have some restrictions on the military to make sure we don t have is a civilian deaths. if we lose the war of ideology, we will lose the war against isis. harris: so there was a lot in what you just said that was critical and in defense of the former president. let s toss up the current president s words about what you call a loosening and what others see a broadening in terms of how much he s listening to our generals. this is what the greatest military in the world and their done their job as usual. they have total authorization. that s what they re doing. that s why they ve been so successful lately. if you look at what has happened over the last eight weeks in compare that to what has happened the last eight years, you ll see there s a tremendous difference. harris: i love shep. they let the president say it instead of me, which is good. let s talk about that authorization now that is different. i want to go back to you, sarah. president obama was criticized for not listening to hisnerals. is president trump doing that? well, i want to go back to 2013 when there was a chemical weapons attack in syria and president obama s team did not act. they dithered. what we saw a month ago in syria was the president making a decision, turning it over to the military that affected effectively, efficiently and got out. it was a stellar example of what i think we re going to see. more of what we ll see under this administration. so i think we saw i play out a month ago and we ll so i it heretofore. harris: that flies in the face of what you said, david, this could save lives in terms of military and civilians, we would hope, too, because it s more pinpoint. get in, get out. your thoughts. one of the biggest mistakes of president obama was not acting in syria in 2013. i agree. president trump was right to do the missile strikes that he did a month ago. but it s still confusing what the president plan is for syria. it s confusing as to whether his policy is for assad to step down or not. it should be that as sad should step down. we should be using force in syria. you know, we re supposedly sending more troops to syria, taking the fight to the assad regime and to isis. let s see how this goes. so far the president has waffled a little bit on syria. harris: it is interesting as we look at the situation with north korea and around the world and people think this president is serious about using firepower. that s one thing that syria did prove that he will do it. thanks very much. we ll have you back another day. thanks for your time. north korean officials, speaking of which, accusing the cia of plotting with south korean intelligence to assassinate kim jong-un with some sort of biochemical weapon. according to a state from the north s ministry of state, agents bribed a north korean and turned him into a terrorist of revenge against the supreme leadership of the people s democratic leader of north korea. this comes after mike pompeo visited the capitol. and as tensions rise. greg palkot is live with more. greg? hi, harris. it s far-fetched. but if it had happened, we would have had a front row seat. kim jong-un, the leader of north korea, was supposed to have been targeted at a military parade last month, which we attended. according to the story, the cia and the south korean counterpart said to turn a man over, pay him off and gear him up and arm him with a dirty bomb containing radioactive material and then kill the leader of this very public event. we speak with a spokesperson for the cia. they declined to comment on the report. we spoke to an expert. he said it s all propaganda. we can tell you security was pretty tight at that event. it s not completely outlandish. we have seen reports of u.s. military exercises that they call the decaptation of the regime. that is practicing to go to pyongyang and do something like this. also, the experts say that probably the best way for the regime to fall might be an internal coup, probably while kim jong-un is perhaps so ruthless and a little bit paranoid. back to you, harris. harris: thanks, greg. the notorious drug lord el chapo is complaining about hallucinations and the exercise bike in prison. personal problems. we re coming right back. no contract. straight talk wireless. only at walmart. it could be a year before notorious drug lord joaquin el chapo guzman gets his day in court. today he went before a fell federal judge in brooklyn. his attorneys are complaining about his living conditions. they say the drug lord is hallucinating, hearing music while in solitary confinement. the other complaints, the jail s exercise bike faces away from the tv and he s not allowed to see his wife. federal officials say the restrictions are necessary because he escaped prison twice in mexico. one time there an underground tunnel. trace gallagher is live with more. it s hard to pity anybody who has done what he s done allegedly, trace. and harris, you mentioned that he never sees his wife. today his wife was in court and our producener the courtroom said he spent a lot of time looking at her. he wore head phones during the hearing to hear the translation and the first order was business is to make sure that he was aware of a potential conflict of interest. turns out his current lawyers work in the same building with attorneys that represented witnesses that may testify against him. el chapo told the judge that he was happy with his current legal time. his lawyers did complain when they visited him in a federal jail, they have to stay behind thick plexiglass. that makes it hard for them to go over documents with him. experts say for safety purposes, it s unlikely that they will be allowed in the same cell. for now, el chapo spends 23 hours a day in a windowless cell, an hour in an exercise cell and he s not happy with the placements of the television. he says the air conditioning is erratic and he seas the guards don t speak spanish. amnesty has said his jail conditions are cruel and degrading. critics have pointed out he s escaped twice and believed to have brutally killed dozens of people. harris: exactly. trace gallagher, thanks very much. president trump is spending the week at his summer white house in new jersey. he arrived last night in bed minister about an hour west of manhattan. hosting the leader of the free world is not easy. the town has 15 police officers. they say they re making it work and we ll see how things are being adjusted and how he s adjusted. you do all this research on a perfect car, then smash it into a tree. your insurance company raises your rates. maybe you should ve done more research on them. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won t raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance. due to your first accident. you need one of these. you wouldn t put up with an umbrella that covers you part way, so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. tell you what, i ll give it to you for half off. z286oz zwtz y286oy ywty harris: president trump is spending the weekend at his golf club in jersey an hour west of manhattan. he s doing new yorkers and all american as favor. rather than causing a big disruption in new york city, i ll be working in my home in new jersey. save the country money. and from one jersey mom to another person, hello. hello to you, harris. he s saving the city of new york money as far as the sleepovers are concerned. the township of bedminster is going to take a hit but not for too long. the secret service is in charge of the overall operation using local resources to protect the president with state police and other regional law enforcement agencies. this why know. but bedminster which has a population under 9,000 has a police force of 16 officers which is including police chief. as the mayor told us, an average weekend of the presidential visit will cost the township about $42,000. that may not sound like much if you re in new york city or florida for those costs, but for a town like bedminster, each visit is 1/2% of our budget. not police budget or overtime budget but total town budget. okay. so this sleepy rural community will be getting some relief. president trump signed a budget bill today that will target $61 million to reimburse local law enforcement to protect the president whether his in palm beach, new york or bedminster. while not every resident is happy about the high profile neighbor, one says it s great. one local deli owner says he s ready to name a hero after the commander-in-chief. let him come in. he can order a sandwich and it will be named after him. so what he orders, it will be named after him? that s the way this started back in 82. so we could have a president trump sandwich? absolutely. yes. hasn t happened yesterdt. we ll let you know. harris: have a great weekend. back after this. natural cheese on one side, and sweetness on the other. new sargento sweet balanced breaks, find it in our cheese section. we asked people to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby. now give up half of em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income. we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you re pregnant or planning to be. ask your dermatologist about otezla today. otezla. show more of you. harris: on this day in 1973, secretariat won the kentucky derby on the way to the triple crown. the colt rounded the track in under two minutes. that record still stands today. human timekeepers called it a record. he set another record at the belmont stakes in june. secretariat raced six more times before retiring at age 3. the run for the roses is tomorrow in louisville.
protection from the law. a good country, right? we will be watching him monday. have a good weekend, everybody. bill o reilly of next life. see you monday bill o reilly up next life. see you monday. bill: the o reilly factor is on tonight. we can confirm now that the u.s. has lost tomahawk missiles at syria. the action by president trump has caused worldwide reaction. did the usa did the right thing by attacking the brutal dictator assad? we will have multiple tonight. it doesn t make sense for assad to make these decisions. bill: there is some on the friends you will not support american military action the matter what. we will take a look at that situation. the nomination of neil m. neil m. gorsuch to be an associate justice of the supreme court of the united states is confirmed. also ahead, the usa has a brand-new supreme court justice. is that a good thing for you? caution. you are about to enter into the no spin zone. that the factor begins now. hi max, i m bill o reilly. thank you for watching the sniper the usa attack syria, that is around nine eastern time, 50 missiles were launched from american warships in the eastern mediterranean sea. 59 missiles hit their targets. the goal is to destroy an air base from which syrian planes recently dropped sarin gas on civilians, killing 30 children. 30. and 20 women, according to the syrian observatory for human rights. according to reporting based on a variety of cities, this is the fifth time, at least, the fifth time, syrian dictator assad has violated the geneva conventions and use poison gas to go civilians get back in 2012, president obama threatened assad. the use of chemical weapons is and would be totally on acceptable. and if you make a tragic mistake of using these weapons, they will be consequences and you will be held accountable. bill: but assad is not held accountable. but instead, , the obama administration did what it always did, talk, and announced a deal with the dictator. a fascinating footnote to that is susan rice was on point alongside john kerry. we were able to find a solution that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known in syria in the way that use of wars would never accomplish. with respect to syria, we struck a deal where he got 100% the new president on the ascending a message to the worl world, the united states will not tolerate war crimes from syria. the action is a reaction, so security has tightened here in the usa as we become a bigger target for evildoers. summing up, america was justified in destroying the syrian air force. the lone superpower has a responsibility. even most of the trump haters in congress agree that if we can stop children from being gassed to death, we should do so. and that is the memo. the top story reaction at this hour, joining us from palm beach florida where he s covering president trump s meeting with the chinese leader, john roberts. understanding that president in china has departed from mar-a-lago. what s going on there now? he left this afternoon, just having a typical friday night. he s having the rest of the week and here. the president, bill, i m told is feeling pretty good about what happened last night. he thinks that the military did a terrific job while one cruise missile fell into the sea, 59 of the 59 remaining hit their marks and he is facing praising the military to his staff and his friends that they performed marvelously here. and he s happy to see you in the most part with the international reaction is, he does know there are a couple of numbers in congress saying he should ve come today, but he feels like he s an absolute firm ground here because as he pointed out last night this was a matter of urgent national security for the united states because i m told the president believes that if bashar al-assad was able to do this and not suffer some consequent support this, that would normalize, at least in the area of the world, the use of chemical weapons and therefore might come back to bite the united states at one point if somebody decided, well, if bashar al-assad can use weber chemical weapons, will use the weapons. bill: i.d. rapid fired answers. the chinese foreign minister said they shouldn t have done it. everyone should come down. was there anything coming outside of the president talking with mr. trump today on the missile attacks? anything at all? any utterance? spent well, there wasn t any public utterance, but i m told, bill, that the white house believes it was pretty impressive show of force that the president went out last night to his chinese counterpar counterpart. and that will be taken back to beijing and sort of turned into that whole pot with north korea where it might give them something else about leaving mara longo and president trump s request to lean on north korea. if they do it in syria, but they do it in north korea? bill: did we get anything in north korea, any pr better cooperation in china? did they say anything? bill: they didn t say anything there was an agreement to deal with. it was discussed. bill: but we don t have any joint statements? no concrete joint statement on that. no. but the secretary of state rex tillerson he s very disappointed with the russian response to all of this. according to rex tillerson, he said that this means russia is still in the camp of bashar al-assad. he says he s disappointing, but he s not surprised to hear what he s heard out of russia. he look, this is how we ll deal with these guys in syria. if you want to deal with bashar al-assad, it s going to put you on the wrong side of history. bill: john, we appreciate it very much. let s bring in catherine harris joining us for washington. doesn t seem to be any chinese reaction in the sense that sometimes after a meeting, a day and a half meeting, there is a joint statement that we didn t get any joint statements. putin postures behind the scenes. is there any serious, serious reaction tonight? i wouldn t say serious reaction, but i would say the leading edge of this investigation right now is into whether russia had some kind of role, bill, in this chemical attack earlier this week, and whether a second strike on that town in syria was really an effort to destroy evidence and be part of a larger cover-up of that crime. and that is really where military intelligence is focused tonight. bill: they had a drone, i understand! correct. bill: russian drone over the area where the chemicals dropped and killed children. and a russian bomber bombed the hospital where civilians were taken. is that what we are talking about tonight? that s right. there was a drone immediately over the site where the sarin gas was released. and then about 4-5 hours later when the victims have been taken to the hospital, another drone showed up. shortly after that, there was a military strike on that hospital. the people i m talking to tonight say that fits a patent that they have seen before with the syrians especially and possibly this case the russians that they wanted to destroy evidence at that hospital compound. bill: we can i.d. drones anyway, so they were russian drones in that area. is that correct? that is correct. bill: okay, now. the ron pauls of the world say, oh, no. how solid is the evidence that assad killed these 20 kids with sarin gas? i was told by my contacts that we have very high confidence and there were multiple streams of information from overhead imagery to radar, from information gathered by our partners in the region. and today they release a graphic that showed radar information. and you can see the syrian government chats over the site of the attak twice within a nine minute time slot which is exactly when the sarin gas was released. there is really no doubt. bill: okay. there was always doubt among those who will not believe, no matter what you present, through them. i iran has been strangely signed about this. i haven t heard any saber rattling. have you? that s a little bit more worrying. what you don t know. bill: right. one of the possible plans for retaliation that they considered when they were planning this whole thing out is that syria and iran would use their proxy hezbollah to launch an attack, that third party retaliation. we have not seen that yet, but that is an idea that was on the table, bella. bill: do we have any information on the swedish attacks, again, president trump made that a centerpiece that sweden was destabilized by all of these muslim refugees pouring into the country. the country reacted vehemently against president trump, but we now have it will take a terror attack in stockholm, right? that s right. a truck was hijacked and then it was driven right into this department store in central stockholm. really, at the height of rush hour, people were getting ready for the weekend. this sadly fits a profile that we ve seen mostly with isis or self radicalized al qaeda followers. and they are using trucks and cars bill: to kill people speak . today, they took one cost suspect into custody, but we have not been able to verify his claims is accurate. but these are the types of plots as you know, bill, that are almost impossible to disrupt. and they go right to the heart of the economy and also people s sense of morality what is right. i mean, it s so offensive. bill: we appreciated as always, thank you. next on the run down from a senior u.s. military officials effective? it was effective in two ways. number one, punishing bashar al-assad for the use of chemical weapons and reestablishing u.s. military credibility in the region. a lot of people talk about political solutions, they talk about the poetic solutions. there is never been at the poetic solution or political solution in the absence of military credibility. we can t predict where president trump is going from here, but in the narrow entrance for punishing bashar al-assad for using chemical weapons, and setting an effective deterrence for future use of chemical weapons, this attack was a success. bill: you heard of the talking points memo that the obama administration trotted out susan rice and john kerry a few years back to say, no, we negotiated with assad and he gave up all of his chemical weapons. of course, that turned out to be false. do you see this as mr. harmer does as an effective use of military power that will inhibit future chemical attacks? um, i think it was a very effective attack. i think it was smart to uses with cruise missiles. there are still russians at the base to attest the accuracies of the weapon systems. i do not think it will guarantee it won t be used again. i think there is a very limited message being sent to assad, a very powerful message, overwhelming force. it was as our friend already said, a narrow message well delivered. but no. i don t see this guaranteeing. i think assad will trot this out again. and if we got the russians involved bill: why would he do that though? if you trotted out again, that doesn t make any sense to me. he knows that trump is going to up it, because trump is not going to say, okay, i m not going to do anything after you spit in my eye after i give you a warning. the next time instead of it being 50, it will be 150. it will devastate the whole infrastructure of syria. don t you believe that? don t you think donald trump is going to back away from a punk like assad if he uses gas again? i didn t say anything about the president of united states backing up. you asked me if it s going to stop it bill: why would he risk his own neck? okay. we are dealing with a crazy man in the middle of a war with a thousand different factions, and he still has, i believe, he destroyed 1300 tons of that stuff back in 2012-2013 and he still got it. i think you could use it again in a few months. in small doses. i wouldn t be surprised at all if he uses it again. bill: mr. harmer, would you be surprised if this guy because it again knowing that the next time, going going to be ten times worse? i would be surprised if basher assad uses chemical weapons again for two reasons. number one, he cannot afford direct conflict with the united states. he can survive with al qaeda and isis. what he cannot do is cross a redline that has been firmly established and a penalty is being affixed to that. second of that, bashar al-assad s military is on the narrow margins of survivability. the air force and all practical purposes barely exist anymore. the syrian air army no longer desists. that is why they need conscripts and mercenaries from afghanistan, he the syrian people will not fight on the behalf of bashar al-assad. he does not have the bandwidth to risk conflict. bill: doesn t he have the iranians he didn t have it before, guys! bill: let s not allocate our coverage. doesn t he have the iranians helping him out, though? absolutely. he s got the full support of the iranian government, the islamic revolutionary guard, the full support of hezbollah and russia. with that said, bashar al-assad has a very narrow definition of success right now and that staying alive. there is no fallback option. those under to bill: you mentioned this last night. it russia. is russia stupid enough to get involved with poison gas? bad drones, as you talk about with catherine. i don t think i don t think, i know. assad is not doing anything without russian approval and russian involvement. this country was gone and lost until the russians showed up. assad is absolutely dependent on bill: if you were putin and you knew the world is horrified at poison gas killing 20 children. why would you i mean, why? i m not sure, bill. look. why would a former kgb lieutenant colonel say okay to use sarin gas? bill: this kind of attention to syria because i think this hurts assad. his survivability rate just went down. of course it does. the russians the russian involvement in this, they haven t stopped. again, i say this. they have been in syria, assad killing his own people. which got everyone obviously upset about this is the 20 kids, babies, that were killed. bill: yeah, the gas. i get it. but he s been doing this for 5-6 years. i don t see any reason that they gave him gas. putin would say, don t do that. bill: do you think putin would okay a gas attack, mr. harmer? i think it s a dispute that the russians weren t aware that syria was resuming its chemical weapons capacity. i don t think the russians suggested this for there s a big difference between assad being dependent on russian help, which he is, and assad functioning as a mercenary for the russians, which is a stretch. bill: the warships that putin is moving into the mediterranean sea, is that just for show? yes, that s part of the counteraction package. they send their ships in close proximity edge, it s is an easy way to show that they are viable, they can still stand up to us without risking escalation. it happens in the pacific, atlantic, mediterranean, it s not a big deal. it s just a show of force. bill: do you agree with that? yeah. this ship has been coming in the mediterranean a lot. bill: check out colonel hunt s new book without mercy about nukes in the hands of terrorists. directly ahead, security tightened all over the world after the attack and another alleged terrorist incident in sweden, as we mention. now judge neil gorsuch shea supreme court s to justice. what does that mean for you? those reports after these messages. white house security council under presidents bush and obama. do you see any unintended consequences from this attack in syria? um, there s always a possibility for unintended consequences. i feel like the demonstration would not do this if they had not gamed out the potential side effects here. there s always a risk wherever the united states undertake military action abroad, whether or not we have come under direct attack or not, there will be risks here. this is not offensive action, as you know. that the united states was very have taken. the russians shows a side in the syrian conflict a few years ago when they decided to insert themselves under it under the false pretense of fighting isis. this is a smart move and a brave, bold move on the part of the u.s. but really defensive. bill: you were in the obama white house, i will play two sound bites with kerry and susan rice. we didn t negotiate it, we didn t need to go to war, that was the mantra of president obama eight years, we can negotiate anything. and we saw, he probably destroyed some stuff, but he did destroy all stops, and that is when babies are dead. when you are in the obama white house, did you notice there was a reluctance to do what donald trump did? well. i don t think you had to be at the white house to notice the reluctance to do it. bill: you are on the outside looking out. did you notice that when you were there that reluctance? i will go with yes. i think it would be hard to not see, you know the decisions that the folks made in the administration in 2013 when i was already gone from the white house, i did not see firsthand. but the results of the conversations they had were seen all around the world. and the effects are felt up until today. so it s obvious there was rekay. colonel wood, when you saw the missiles hit the airfield in syria, did anything pop in your mind like a ron is doing this and put in is going to do that? that s what we mean by unintended consequences. i think there will be unintended horizontal consequences where putin will not see whole opportunity to up the game in syria, especially if he doesn t want to go to war in the united states. but he can do that in other theaters, ukraine continues, dismembering that country. much more provocative action against the baltic states. very concerned about what they are doing in the baltics and the are tics. there are a lot of other places where putin can play a strong hand to stymie u.s. efforts, dismember alliances, and certainly with a veto power on the u.n. security council, they can create all kinds of havoc. anything to do with israel or u.s. efforts to get sanctions against north korea. reactions in the south china sea and against china i think it s a pretty broad playing board and putin will move his checkers where he thinks he can get an upper hand in other areas. bill: but i can t imagine that val ida between you and cares about assad on a personal novel or any other the chinese were interesting because the foreign minister came out and he didn t really condemn the action. he just said that everyone should calm down. that s why i was looking for a joint statement of any kind by the chinese president and donald trump, but today we didn t get anything. all they did is they had snacks at mar-a-lago i guess. i don t know what else they did there. they sidestepped out of the resort. got on the plane. bill: there wasn t any we will settle on out of here. it was strange. i can t imagine how awkward, like, you know on the protocol level that must ve been for these two leaders the first time they ve ever met face-to-face? so many issues between them and meanwhile there is this huge elephant in the room, which is that the president is going back to his room at night and, you know, dropping bombs in syria. it s a little bit i don t think it was awkward for max trump at all. he saw this as a big advantage. comes in big and bold, taking military action against a bunch of vile people, dropping sarin gas on davies at all. it came from a competitive advantage in any bill: the chinese never show their hand. they never let you know what they are thinking. the chinese bureaucrats i m talking about. sure. bill: so you don t know, you know. there is a s face they put on. i was looking for something out of president xi, we don t even know if you like the food or anything. is that what you want to know, bill? how were the burgers ? it was very aggressive, no warning, he just acted. and ten hours later, the chinese government is trying to figure out with that. i m not surprised by the silence or having to recalculate their interest in north korea. keeping mom was probably the best course of action for the chinese. bill: they would do that anyway on american soil. but it was fascinating to see donald trump oh, resident xi past the pipe. by the way, in 3 minutes, 60 tomahawk s launched into syria. would you like a little bit more tv? during the dinner, that s where they all went. i thought they would wait until factor would finish. we will talk to the white house advisor, dr. sebastian gorka about the world reaction from the missile attack. now the judge gorsuch is on the court and liberal americans are not happy! stay tuned for those reports. gorsuch is is this good for the folks? professor, cut through the nuclear option and all the stuff. the regular people, the regular americans, many of them who don t even know who judge gorsuch is or what he does. is this man going to improve the country for the folks? i think he s going to improve the court. i think this country is better off when you have people who are intellectual leaders. too often we select nominees because they have never had an interesting thought in their lives. we really need people who see a horizon that can describe where the law should go. this is a conservative president that has the right to nominate a conservative bill: but how conservative is mr. gorsuch? he is conservative. he is a textualst.t she s very conservative when looking at the original content. none of those things should bar him from the court. a lot of people share those views. bill: you ve testified for judge gorsuch. i did. bill: what did he say? what did you see. i sense that gorsuch is something of a departure, welcome departure in that he has a long record. he s not a blank slate. we know what type of justice he will be. he will be a very good one for people might not like his conclusions always, but i think he s an honest intellectual and that honesty may take him across the ideological spectrum. bill: that s what i said last night. there is a chance in some of these rulings that conservatives will be angry if it is not like scalia. scalia was a i ve never seen gorsuch promote that. that s the key people conservatives, i ve said for months, you should be not trying to replace a conservative with a conservative, but an intellectual with an intellectual. that is what gorsuch is and that is what scalia was. bill: okay. do you believe that judge gorsuch will be sworn in monday morning got caught up in the trump hate campaign! honestly i don t see a basis to oppose gorsuch, so i hope he doesn t carry a lot of baggage into this. a lot of democratic senators didn t feel they could vote for him, which i think is a terrible shame. bill: why? why didn t they think they could vote for him? three did. but why do the other things they couldn t? what you are saying is true. honest man, very smart, forward-looking, respects the constitution above all. why couldn t our democratic elected senators vote for him? i think it s an incredible of the ploys of to we can no longer separate people from the politics. yet in honest good faith jurist that judge neil gorsuch is. bill: senator feinstein said she couldn t vote for gorsuch because she didn t believe the constitution was a living document that evolves as society evolves. i guess it s a living document. you have to feed it, walk it. that s why she couldn t vote for him, no matter how brilliant or honest, it had to be a justice who believes in evolution of the constitution. you your head must ve blown off. i thought that was a particularly sad moment, because i have great reservations about the cause of a living constitution because i don t know how it s been defined and i ll tell you bill: is defined by your ideology, whatever you think is the right policy. there is this broad spectrum that includes now with justice gorsuch on monday that people often separate originalists from living constitutions. there is this medal, good faith jurist that try to get it right. in the case of judge gorsuch, he starts with this original sense of the to present that move out of the main screen is the czar. bill: you see two more things really quick. second amendment is now bolstered by judge gorsuch. i think he would agree with that. second 11 religious people. they bill if there is a major case that he s going to hit the court just in time to hear the trinity lutheran church case. it has a huge case. bill: tell me what that case is quick to make this was a church that was denied funds to a repay their playground because they are a religious organization. other nonfor profits that were given their funding. the church said that is not fair. just because we are religious groups, we are still nonfor profit. this is a case that could have far-reaching implications for how they handle the religion clauses of the first amendment. bill: i think religious people should be celebrating over the weekend, it s palm sunday and everything. that was a good discussion there, professor. thank you. bill: you didn t come across as a pinhead. [laughs] bill: i even understood it. you did a great job. we appreciate it. thanks, bella. bill: when we come back, missile attack defense. some people think president trump s actions were flat-out wrong. we will go to white house advisor to find out what could come next as president trump sending messages to the world. we will be right back. dr. nick gillespie, , and emma ashford who works the cato institute. you know, a lot of people say if you are going to kill babies with poison gas, somebody s got to take care of you. and that somebody was president trump and the united states. you oppose it. why? well, i think that is frankly a false argument. i think that the attacks that president trump undertook does nothing to resolve the syrian civil war. it does nothing to prevent the further killing of syrian civilians. it makes the isis campaign more difficult, and it risks dragging us a larger conflict in syria. those are big negatives that we should be paying more attention. bill: that s why we have you on the air. so let s walk through and we will get to talk to gillespie. he uses poison gas, assad. that s against the geneva convention. the united nations is not doing anything because i never do. so donald trump, i am personally going to write this wrong and i m going to hit him, and if he doesn t again i m going to hit him and take them out completely. you don t think that is an inhibitor? you don t think that s going to stop assad from using the gases? i don t think these tracks we undertook will do much to dissuade assad. bill: you expect assad to drop more poison gas on the civilian people? it s a distinct possibility. and even if he doesn t use chemical weapons, we have done nothing from this waiting him using barrel bomb s and other very nasty weapons to kill the people he s killed. bill: i want to wrap up the first round with you. so if you were the president, you would not have taken any action against assad for what he did? i wouldn t have taken military action like president trump did. i would have tried to restart diplomatic negotiations bill: like the obama administration and you her john kerry and susan wright say we got it all out there, but they did not. let s go to dr. gillespie. the emotional you are the president, and you do nothing to assad after he does that? first off, it s not up to the united states to enforce the geneva conventions. bill: cool would that be bill: who would that be? we are coming out of 15 years in the middle east where we have accomplished very little other than destabilizing the entire region and creating a iran bill: say on this no. bill: whose responsibility is this? the united states could start to build a coalition in the area. it s up to them to deal bill: if saudi arabia launched a few tomahawk s, you would be okay with a? it wouldn t be the united states. as a citizen of the united states, it s not our business to police what syria is doing in its civil war. if that carries forth to other countries, you have a water barbarity so nobody is going to support the geneva convention that is a leap of you know, a leap of judgment that is not borne out by the facts. bill: weight. we all see what s happening in north korea, iran, do is what s happening in libya, after we dropped bombs in the name of humanitarian intervention, bill: you would hope that this is not an occupying situation. it s the beginning of one. bill: i m going to go to dr. ashford. 30 seconds each. how would you deal with assad. specifically, dr. ashford? i would try and push for a diplomatic solution. i know what you are saying, but the obama administration try to do this, but president trump is in a much better situation for far better relations with the russians, taking a harder line on iran bill: so you say diplomacy? i do say diplomacy because it s the only way civil war ends. bill: dr. gillespie, how do you deal with assad? we do not have to dealassad. our interest in iran right now or in the middle east has to do with islamic terrorism, not the assad regime which is a disgusting regime. you go after the terrorists. we are not in the business of policing what the assad does. bill: we are going after terrorists. we are doing two things here. very good discussion, appreciate it. sebastian gorka on next. we will get the white house. it what severity as it stands tonight. that as the factor continues around the usa and all the worl world. bill: let s go back to washington and bring in sebastian gorka, deputy assistant to mr. trump. we assume that you are happy the missile attack was successful. you are a strategist, dr. gorka. we heard a lot tonight that this is not going to dissuade assad from using gas, he will use it again. number one, i don t believe that what i could be wrong. if he does do it again, have you guys been game planning for that? oh, absolutely. there are people inside the of the pentagon, people on the national security council, my good friends, they have gamed out the possible scenarios. unfortunately, i don t want to disappoint you, mr. o reilly. unlike the last administration, we are not going to give those away in advance because that is very, very unwise. bill: sure. i think everyone understands that. except penn had a journalist who except pinheaded journalist who goad you into doing that. you will have a plan, there are other things that may happen. am i correct on both of those? absolutely. bill: here s a key question. would you, you being the white house represent in the white house, tell assad if you use poison gas again, something worse will befall you. will that message be delivered personally to you? that message, i think, there are many ways to communicate strategic narratives. what you have seen in the last 48 hours is president trump being more decisive than obama was in the last eight years. messages can be given directly or indirectly. again, we are not going to give away how we communicate it. bill: would you give it directly because you could if you wanted to? yes. it s completely within the mandate of the president, secretary to listen, or even secretary mattis to do that. bill: you don t love assad, you want to be on this planet, you better not do it again because it s not going to be pleasant. iran, we haven t heard much from them. usually, they ve got a lot of people in syria doing bad things. can you tell us anything about their reaction? yes. i think is very interesting in the past eight years, they have been very, very loud, they have been very offensive in their comments even after events such as the hostage taking of our naval personnel and other other very dangerous things that they have done. i think their silence is a very positive sign because as the sponsor of the regime in damascus, they have to draw conclusions as well. this is about messages that are sent to nations like russia, china, and iran. bill: let s take russia. if putin condemns the act and sends a warship into the mediterranean, saber rattling a little bit. you take that seriously or do you think that is where short? that is a classic standard operating procedure. we are the most powerful nation in the world has ever seen. this is just classic classic showmanship. it s not even brickman ship. they don t have the capacity to do something with our naval basil. it standard kgb kind of tactics coming out of moscow. bill: as he mentioned we did not get any chinese reaction at mar-a-lago. we did get a statement from the foreign minister that he wants everyone to calm down. that channel, do we know anything about how china processed the attack? if i did, i wouldn t be talking about it in front of your huge audience, i m afraid, mr. o reilly. bill: can you give me, again [site] looks, we are all americans. we want safety for this country. we don t want to tea them off. do you think they were upset that we did this to syria or they don t care? i think they are incredibly strategic. they play for the long game. if there is one nation out there that understands the long game, it s china. look at history, look at sun tzu, look at everything they publish and classify domain. i think they understand. i think the bigger part of this is a new, really, this is proof that we have a new president and they are going to have to draw the right conclusions with regards to countries like north korea. i think it will have a positive effect because they are not irrational, bill. they are not irrational. bill: so you can reason with the chinese food that s what you re saying. yes. bill: what s the deputy assistant do, what do you do? whatever the president, whatever jared kushner wants me to do. bill: would you read that and give us analysis, is that what you do? it can be. i meet with delegation with our allies, our partners. i work with counterterrorism issues, i was asked for my opinion on the first eos, including the immigration ones. i am your general player in the national security field within the white house. bill: you are the utility player. i am. bill: you play every position in the infield. that s it. bill: is a pleasure to have you on tonight, doc. factor tip today. would you like to meet jesse watters? if so, why? the tip moments away. number one, killing the rising sun right behind number three after seven months in the marketplace we believe that the first ever in the american publishing world. but you remain remember that killing kennedy s number one, while killing lincoln was number two in 2012. i know some of you won t believe me but there was a time when i wanted to a bookstore saying i won t never get a book published, it s true. but i persevered, the key to life. thank you all for supporting the books. prior to pearl harbor, the world atrocities all over the globe. are we going to sit idle while iran, russia, china, and north korea plan our demise? nuclear weapons have changed war strategy, countries cannot launch a large scale attacks anymore, war is now. if the liberal democrats are decrying the syrian bombing are condoning the use of chemical weapons on babies which is why the liberal community really isn t decrying it, a few, not many. the attack is justifiable on a human rights basis the liberal community is on human rights, that their dilemma. if missoula, montana, where is the u.n. help on that syria, where it always is, being discussed in meetings. mr. oh, you let lois lerner off too easy, what she did at the irs was criminal and she should have gone to prison. this may come as a shock to you but i do not have the power to incarcerate. if i did, prison overcrowding would be a far worse problem that it is now, i would open alcatraz, i would get to devils back from france. am i rambling here? i believe i am. dan kaiser omaha, nebraska, what makes people think that even if susan rice is guilty, if director called me will not prosecute clint and he will not go after miss rice. i am so tired of congressional hearings that go nowhere, me too. if roger ellis, north hampton england, your interview with ambassador bolton was just brilliant, certain questions and excellent responses, the segment should be used as a teaching tool for college courses. i appreciate that. if killing the rising sun is amazing, although today s american warriors are just as brave, the jodi s home and on campus don t have the necessary love of country to win a war is brutal against the japanese. i ve thought about that a lot and you are most likely correct. america s kids raised during the great depression during the 1930s, much tougher than modern young people. here s the thing, future wars as i mentioned will not need millions of infantry, there will be high-tech driven. the weapons today make world war ii tactics obsolete. after reading old school, i am rooting for global warming, it will melt the snow flakes. read old-school, you and bruce fiercely and had me rolling with laughter. we have loads of snow flakes down here, it s a white out. old-school life in the same lane is a great combination of wit and wisdom, i think you and if you re staying for running it. finally tonight factor tip of the day, i want to thank everybody who is purchase tickets to the spin the stops here live shows. your humble correspondent will see everybody in baltimore, maryland, at the royal farms arena friday, september 22nd. the next night we scurry on down to tampa, florida, a nice venue down there. december 15th, friday will be at caesar s palace, always be a great time, waters will be parted. finally, saturday december 16th, great early christmas gift. we ll be at the honda center in anaheim, california, that show almost 40% sold out after one day. waters does most of our show in the audience you might get a close look at his world. ticket info on info on billoreilly.com, shows will sell out so we hope you check it out, make great gifts for all occasions. factor tip of the day, that is it for us tonight please check out fox news factor website which is different from billoreilly.com. if we would like you to spout off about the factor, name in town if you wish to opine, word of the day, do not be s holisti holistic. that s it for us tonight on this
today officials authorize today know. trump supporters complaining about the source of leaks rather than the substance of the leak, jim sciutto. reporter: a source close to ambassador susan rice tells me the claims she improperly unmasked u.s. citizens caught up in surveillance is in a word false coming from ambassador rice, but i ve also spoken to senior intelligence officials from democratic and republican administrations to ask them about the process of unmasking. is it unusual, illegal? and the answer is usually no, not unusual, not illegal. they say a couple of things, one the law allows it, two for it to happen the official requests, the intelligence community has to approve it, it is often times approved because that official wants to provide more information as they are reading intelligence report they want to know more about the significance, that is shared between the briefer. it s possible that official could do that him or herself but by nature of it it is only exchanged one to one. there are open questions how extensive was the unmasking, what was the source, but this practice is not unusual, it happens, and two, it certainly is not illegal. there are protocols for the unmasking under certain rules. thanks to jim sciutto. we have to apologize we used video that was conda lee za rice. that was a snafu. sorry, everybody. trump officials were incidentally surveilled, listen. i know nothing about this. i was surprise today see reports from chairman nunes on that count today. okay. so a lot about the credibility here of susan rice said there on pbs news hour she knew nothing of this, surprised of it in the context she misled the public from the benghazi attack due to an internet video, there is some questions about her credibility related to truth with the american people. let us know what you think about that the web of this, his associates and seems to be spreading this morning. a russian connected to vladimir putin and founder of black water security prince. on the indian ocean the sources saying the meeting was used for a back channel communication between the kremlin and president-elect trump. eric was not part of the transition, but has ties to the circle, including steve bannon, betsy devos secretary of education. he calls it a quote complete fabrication. the house intelligence committee plans to meet at noon today. the committee convened last clear leegd up ading up his mai will be to push on dealing with north korea, a threat that is sure to cause allies a little bit of consternation. a showdown of historic p proportions of confirmation of neil gorsuch. now the president s pick is enough to sustain a filibuster unless mitch mocconnell follows through to block the number of votes. it s not certain whether all 52 senators will back mcconnell is he decide to deploy this so-called nuclear option. if three just three balk at the idea, the change would not have enough to pass the gorsuch nomination could be blocked. stand by, because this will tell us everything we need to know about how this congress can work together forward police reforms could be in jeopardy, jeff sessions ordering review of troubled departments. he wants to make sure they don t conflict with the president s goal of safety and fighting violent crime. investigations into law enforcement agencies is enforcing 14 consent decrees. the white house kills off a series of obama era privacy rules. president trump did it. signed into law a repeal of protections that would have required internet service providers get your permission before collecting and sharing your data. why block the rules? the chairman says those flawed privacy rules which never went into effect were designed to benefit one group of favored companies not online consumers. they have your browsing history, your app usage and your geolocation. you will have to get a vpn tour to do that. republicans feel the rule put service providers at a disadvantage would have put them at a disadvantage like facebook and google. it personally hands over your information to the highest bidder. president trump has earned and turned over the money to the ryan zinke foundation. they are 22$9 million behind. battleground maintenance. i was just talking to the kids about trying to get to gets burglary th gettysberg. pion who s faced thousands of drivers. she s a world-class swimmer who s stared down the best in her sport. but for both of them, the most challenging opponent was. pe blood clots in my lung. it was really scary. a dvt in my leg. i had to learn all i could to help protect myself. my doctor and i choose xarelto® xarelto®. to help keep me protected. xarelto® is a latest-generation blood thinner. .that s proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots from happening again. in clinical studies, almost 98% of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe. here s how xarelto works. xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least six blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective. .targeting just one critical factor, interacting with less of your body s natural blood-clotting function. don t stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase risk of blood clots. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you ve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures and before starting xarelto® about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you ve got to learn all you can. .to help protect yourself from dvt and pe blood clots. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. there s more to know. pabut with odor free blue-emu continuous pain relief spray, i can box out any muscle or joint pain immediately. blue-emu continuous pain relief spray, it works fast and you won t stink. petersburg russia. what are we learning this morning?

unmasking is not the same as leaking. unmasking is revealed to officials only authorized to know. the leak of the susan rice information has the president trying to stir the pot. more on unmasking and response from susan rice let s bring in jim sciutto. reporter: a source close to susan rice tells me the claims she improperly unmasking names of u.s. sincitizens caught up i surveillance is false coming from ambassador rice, but i ve talked to both democratic and republican administration to ask about unmasking, one they say the law allows it, two, for it to happen the official requests it but the u.s. intelligence committee has to approve the request, often times it is approved because that official wants to provide more information, as they re reading intelligence report they want to know more about what it means, that information is only shared between the briefer from the intelligence community and that official, it s not more widely disseminated. it s possible that the official could do that him or herself, but by nature only exchanged one to one, how extensive was the unmasking, but this i know from speaking to intelligence officials is that this practice is not unusual, it happens and there are protocols specifically established after 9/11 to allow for unmasking under certain rules. thank you. susan rice was asked last month that trump officials were incidentally surveilled during the transition here is what she said. i know nothing about this. i was surprised to see reports from chairman nunes today. that certainly speaks to the credibility of susan rice as does the whole benghazi situation where she misled the american public with an internet video, she s going to have to speak to why she was surprised and the exact question was what? unintentional surveillance of trump transition officials. it was very direct and very spot on this subject. not about the obama administration wiretapping? correct. also, why did she ask for the unmasking? was it in the interest of national security or purely politics. or maybe she wanted to make people aware of how serious it was. we just don t know. the web of connections between the president and russia seems p to be spreading. the founder of black water firm eric prince, a meeting took place on the indian ocean, sources say the meeting was to set up a back channel line of communication between the kremlin or president-elect trump, or at least an attempt. eric prince was not part of the transition, but has ties to steve bannon and his sister is secretary of education. a spokesman for prince calls this claim of connection a quote complete fabrication. the house intelligence committee plans to meet at noon today with the future of its russia investigation hanging in the balance. the full committee convened last night since adam schiff called on devin nunes to recuse himself. the topic of russia and alleged ties to the trump administration will be on the table. a highly unusual trip to the white house i dare say infamous trip, which has been talked about ad nauseam, it called the ability to call into question the investigation. now we know these documents came from the nsc, national security council, devin nunes had to view them at the white house. gives a cover why he was there. historic proportions unfolding over neil gorsuch. 43 democrats now oppose the president s pick, that s enough to sustain a filibuster, unless mitch mcconnell decide to change the rules so only a simple majority of 51 votes would be needed to push him through and like all nominees it is not certain whether all 52 republican senators will back mcconnell if he decide to deploy the nuclear option. the rule change would not have enough to pass and gorsuch nomination could be blocked. police reforms enacted by the obama station could be in jeopardy, jeff sessions ordering a review of all departments. since 2009 the justice department has conducted 25 investigations into law enforcement agencies and currently in 14 consent decrees and agreements. a reboot of health care, vice president mike pence meeting with mark meadows to pitch a new proposal that essentially gives states flex biibility to repeal obamacare. chairman meadows says he is intrigued by the new approach but needs to see more details. house republicans will discuss the plan when they meet later this morning for their weekly caucus. the trump administration plans to file an appeal on friday in an attempt to lift a or the order blocking the six-nation fratravel ban, it wi be heard by the ninth circuit court of appeals, last month a judge in hawaii revised the order. 4:40 a.m. in the east today is equal payday. it s the proposal that women earn the same amount as men. women earn about 80 cents for every dollar than a man makes. for a 20-year-old entering the workhorse it amounts of $418,000 over a 40 year. hispanic women only just 54 cents compare today a male and the narrowest gap is asian women. so why and what s being done about it? the gap has been closing slowly over the past 20 years, experts say only congress has the power to act on a national scale and companies are responsible. teaming with businesses to offer 20% discounts to make up on the difference, luna bars, lyft, and p & g. i would rather not have a discount, america. i was waiting for that that s not going to make up the gap. no, but even when you adjust for two people with the same education, same age, in is aim job no matter what the category is men make a little bit more, and the why is fascinating, it s not just raw discrimination and the maternity tax that thlose o on opportunities when they step out and have a baby. is negotiation part of this? some say it is. maybe in hollywood. no worry about people making a few thousand dollars more, i m worried more about the rank and file women. statistics show uneducated women in big cities make more than their male counterparts. they re going take charge and not except it. president trump has earned $78,332 as sally as commander in chief and donated it to the park service turning it over to ryan zinke, they will be used for the maintenance of battlefields. it s called a publicity stunt. drop in the bucket in a sense. yeah, i mean look, i love revolution battlefield tours. field trip. the death toll rising in that deadly attack on the metro in st. petersburg, russia rus. a officials releasing the name of the bomber. needles. essential for him, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an unjection™ . xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don t start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an unjection™ . orrin? reporter: no group has taken credit but still less than 24 hours since the attack happened and the identity of the suspect has just came out who say the man behind the deadly bombing that happened from a short distance from us is akbarzhon jalilov, that makes him 21 or 22 years old, a russian citizen, that s who authorities say is behind the deadly bombing, it has just risen to 14 dead and dozens wounded. there s still a flurry of activity, nine to ten fire trucks, two paramedics, they have run two or three fire hoses and blocked off the sennaya station. that is where this explosion happened. just a short distance past that is where police found another unexploeded device. we don t have an explanation for the flurry of activity. authorities have identified the suspect, akbarzhon jalilov, he is from kyrgyzstan, now the investigators are working on the how and why and the question is was he working alone?

missiles are not used to bomb runways. officials say the strike seen here from the two u.s. navy destroyers was meant to sent a message to the assad regime and its allies. a russian drone was seen over the hospital where victim s of the chemical attack were taken. on a lighter note, the fox news learned the skipper of one of the warships that launched missiles at that syrian airfield is a graduate of the u.s. naval academy. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations would not rule out more strikes from the commander s ship. we are prepared to do more. but we hope that will not be necessary. reporter: i m told one of those warships in the eastern mediterranean is steaming toward an undisclosed location where the ship will rearm. kelly: the u.s. taking a closer look at the relationship between syria and russia. nikki haley telling a special u.n. session that syria was able to carry out the brutal chemical attack because of russia s support. assad did this because he those could get away with it. he thought he could get away with it because he knew russia would have his back. that changed last night. as i warned on wednesday, when the international community consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times when states are compelled to take their own actions. the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. kelly: joining me now, israel s ambassador to the u.n. thank you for joining us. i want to get to what ambassador nikki haley said. she said any time the international community fail to the respond to this type chemical attack, do you agree? absolutely. it sends a clear message by telling the russian community we ll not tolerate the use and spread of chemical weapons. and the message was sent to do mass discuss, iran, north korea and the security council that sat idly by. the iranians, when they see instability, they are happy. today they are taking advantage of what s happening in syria to build their presence in syria in the future like what they are doing in lebanon. the control of hezbollah, the terrorist organization. 100,000 rockets in hezbollah. they want to see the same in syria. hopefully we ll see some kind of understanding and iranian militia on the bored with israel. kelly: as a former defense minister who served in is raim, the united states, what should it be doing now in if the future in terms of bringing some stability to that region? i think the u.s. showed leadership. we saw other countries following the u.s. when you make a strong decision, people follow you. in the future the u.s. would say, we ll not accept resolutions, we ll take action. they sent a strong message. we have seen other democracies following that. kelly: look at the timing of it. syria took this hostile action. bashar al-assad took his action against his own people. but it happened at a time when the president had just finished wrapping you have meeting with the president of jordan, egypt, iraq, saudi arabia. there seems to be a consensus within his foreign policy to bring those entities together to form some sort of coalition. would that koa lition be able to help israel in dealing with the formidable forces posed against you? i think it s important. i was not in those meetings. but the issue of iran, iran is a threat to israel and the entire middle east. and those moderate arab countries familiar with that threat. when they come together to speak with the american president, that s the first step to mordr move forward on the bad agreement signed with the iranians. kelly: president trump has been arguing against that even before becoming president. when he was candidate trump he said it was a bad deal. now it looks like one of your staunch enemies there is actually trying to build a nuclear armament. is that something else the united states should be looking out after? we know you certainly are. he s a bad deal. we should think about new sanctions against iran. bringing those leaders together not only israel, will be the first start to dealing with the threat of iran. ambassador haley took a strong stance and we are happy to see that. kelly: be sure to watch fox news sunday when chris wallace speaks with one of the people who helped plan the syrian miss soil strikes. general h.r. mcmaster is giving his first television interview ever since becoming national security advisor. be sure to check your local listings. julie: new reports suggesting some changes could be come together trump administration. this as two of president trump s top advisors are said to be at odds. steve bannon and the president s son-in-law jared kushner apparently meeting in south florida yesterday to sort things out. what are you hearing? any truth to these reports? reporter: the white house says no. there is no question that tension has been brewing between bannon and kushner for quite some time now. this strike in syria believe it wide open. bannon is a non-interventionist. he doesn t think the u.s. should tint screen in places like syria and there are reports he was against this strike. but there is no question kushner is safe as president trump s senior advisor and son-in-law. that leaves people like steve bannon and reince priebus are vulnerable. a senior administration official put out a statement last night. it sphreeds once again this is a completely false story driven by people who want to distract by the successes taking place in this administration. we are talking about that meeting last night. we learned this meeting took place at mar-a-lago it was attended by bannon, kushner and priebus. we are told president trump ordered it and told them to bury the hatchet. we are told all sides agreed to move forward. but it s difficult to see how that will happen given how deep these divisions run. but in the end the decision relies upon one man and one man only, that s president trump. he has prove within his strike in syria. he s not afraid to stir up the pot and do things differently. kelly: a suspect in custody following the deadly truck attack in sweden. brian llenas is following this story from new york. reporter: they believe a 30-year-old uzbekistan man is the driver of the stolen beer truck. this is cell phone video of the suspect being arrested 25 miles north of stockholm. we do not know the suspect s name or whether he s a legal resident of sweden. we do note suspect had been on intelligence services radar for some time now. police conducted overnight raids questioning people in connection with the case, and they have not ruled out more arrests. meantime a nation mourns. people are placing flowers at the high-end department store where the truck slammed into people in the center of sweden s capital. monday was declared a national day of mourning. we agree we grieve with the families that lost their loved ones. but we are determined to be an open society, democratic society. that s something i m confident the swedish people also feel. reporter: the suspect drove the stolen beer truck 500 yards through a pedestrian street before plowing into a department store with shoppers repairing for the weekend. they found an incendiary device inside the truck. it had a home made bomb inside. the attacker suffered burns from the explosives after they failed to detonate properly. this truck attack is similar to what we saw in london in march where a british national plowed a car into pedestrian on a london bridge. julie: the u.s. marine corps announcing its first punishments connected to an embarrassing nude scandal. kelly: house intel chair devin nunes temporarily recusing himself from the probe into russia. we ll look at what s next for the complicated investigation. here is the top democrat on the committee. significant as this is now, there is no way we can allow the investigation to be deterred from the much more important issues at stake. to folks everywhere whose diabetic. .nerve pain shoots and burns its way into your day. .i hear you. when that pain makes simple errands simply unbearable. .i hear you. i hear you because my dad struggled with this pain. make sure your doctor hears you too. so folks, don t wait. step on up. and talk to your doctor. because you have places to go. .and people who can t wait for you to get there. if you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands. step on up and talk to your doctor today. yeah, cause i got allstate.?

sarah, devin nunes says this is temporary. second all says this is the extreme left essentially coming out after him. that it s some kind of hit job. is he being unfairly targeted for political reasons? there were progressive groups that did file complaints about his allegations that he unlawfully disclosed in his march 22 press conference. certainly partisan temperatures were running high on both sides. when chairman nunes did introduce the allegations that susan rice potentially unmasked members of the trump transition for political reasons injected a level of partisanship into the committee that made it untenable. it s a chance for the house intelligence committee to get back to focusing on its investigative duties. members were bashing each other in the media, but they wnl speaking face to face. julie: let s bring up susan rice. there is a correlation here. susan rice s name has come up and the question was whether or not she unmasked those individuals names for political reasons. she says it s complete hogwash. her spokeperson says it s not true and they are not going to address it. the bottom line is if for some reason there is evidence that proves she did unmask these names for political reasons, that is a crime, that s a felony. that s a serious accusation. is this a distraction from the nunes situation? what s key to remember is while nunes recused himself from the russia-related investigation, he s still involved in investigating these allegations of potential unmasking. those are totally unrelated to the russia investigation. nunes said the incidental collection was not related to russia at all. he s free to focus on that while he deal with the separate ethics inquiry. julie: could this have been prevented? let s say devin nunes got this information, shared it with others, but didn t share the with the president. it was when president trump made it a public scandal, if you will, because the mainstream media had a field day with his tweet about the obama administration allegedly wiretapping the trump campaign at trump tower. if it had never gotten to that point, do you think we would be talking about this now or would nunes have stepped down as he put it. if it hadn t gotten to that point perhaps nunes wouldn t have felt pressured to go public with his findings as soon as he did. he convened a press conference on capitol hill. went to the white house, briefed president trump and came out and talked to the white house correspondent. and in doing so democrats say he disclosed confidential information. it s not clear if that is in and of itself classified. he was careful about how much he let on about what was in those reports. but there does need to be some sort of review of this to put the situation behind him or the allegations will continue to follow him. nunes didn t want to put his members in a situation where every time they encounter a reporter. julie: he has only temporarily stepped down. most would say it s not temporary, this is a done deal. why the message think is not a permanent situation and all signs seem to point to the fact he s not going to return to that position? there is a black and white timeline to his temporary reprieve from that investigation. but it s not clear that that is going to be resolved quickly because that s being controlled by fellow members of the house. that could last an unknown amount of time that might be in their interest to drag out that probe. julie: as far as the russia probe is concerned, we need to reiterate the fact that there is no evidence of collusion here between russia and the campaign and the presidential election. no evidence whatsoever. but yet the f.b.i. has disclosed that they are in the midst of an investigation and president trump said this is all made up by the media. where is this coming from if the media is making this up, where are they getting their information and when will this be laid to rest? keep in mind what the house intelligence committee is suppose to be investigating is russian cyber activities during the campaign. incidentally that might involve these unsubstantiated allegations. that s what james comey said when he appeared before that committee. he said the f.b.i. was investigating russian hacking, and that inquiry had expanded to include allegations of trump associates colluding with russia. once those allegations had become prominent in the national conversation. he never said that was the focus of the investigation. and originally was not the focus of the house intelligence committee investigation. julie: no evidence on collusion or wiretapping. that s what they said. but we ll have to wait until the investigation concludes. kelly: a few months ago obama officials patting themselves on the back for a deal to get chemical weapons out of syria. susan rice saying it was a success. but are they praising themselves too soon? house speaker paul ryan says he s confident lawmakers are close to repealing obamacare. but with lawmakers off for the next two weeks, how close are they? we all believe it will lower premiums and provide add protection to affordable care. this brings us closer to the final agreement we all want to achieve. can we push the offer online? brian, i just had a quick question. brian? brian. legacy technology can handcuff any company. but yes is here. you re saying the new app will go live monday?! yeah. with help from hpe, we can finally work the way we want to. with the right mix of hybrid it, everything computes. hearings and meeting, how close are they really? peter doocy is following this from our washington bureau. what are lawmakers telling constituents about an obamacare repeal today? the. pete: they are trying to make the case. just about everything congressman tom mcclintock says about healthcare gets him heckled. we want to be sure nobody is left in the lurch. that the new system offers a wide range of policies at lowest possible price. and that we stop this radical increase in premiums we are seeing under obamacare, and stop if the flight of providers out of the obamacare market. reporter: right up until house lawmakers went home for the two-week recess. the healthcare act has an amendment supported by gop leadership and solve of the freedom of caucus. speaker ryan says the 200-day plan for repeal and replace and reforming the tax code is still on track. kelly: some of the people aren t happy about this. they wanted to see something done. we ll watch to see the developments when those lawmakers return. how concerned are lawmakers about a government shutdown at the ends of the month? reporter: they will have less than a week to stop a government shut down at the end of this recess. they don t want any money from the s border wall in there and they don t want cuts to domestic programs which the white house has been asking for. and spokesman for senator chuck schumer receives the only thing that could derail that progress is the white house insisting on their extraneous demands that would meet bipartisan opposition. he says he thinks the democrats will like the infrastructure plan. but we don t know where it fits into the calendar. kelly: pushing us ever so closer to the cliff. julie: let s bring in republican congressman charlie dent from pennsylvania. a lot of people criticizing congress for taking this break. that was agenda number one and it wasn t done. should they be taking this break and getting this done? paul ryan says they are really close, but not close enough to get it done before the break. thanks for having me on the program. we are out for the easter recess. i don t believe we are as close as many would say on the healthcare bill. there was an amendment offered which on balance was good. $15 billion over 8 years for high risk pools. but there are structural flaws in my view with the legislation that will require a lot more work than being pro poatds in that amendment, even though the amendment on balance is good. the immediate issue when we get back is funding the government. i m on the approach a yaitions committee. the va is the only appropriations bill that cleared and is law. we ll have to make sure we complete our work in april. julie: let s talk about premiums. the rising premiums is something the gop had been highlighting. there is an amendment in there that would in fact do something about the premiums which by lowering the costs makes this more attractive. tell us about that. it provides for $15 billion over 8 years beginning in 2015-2026. the idea of a federal high-risk pool. that is supposed to help in some cases. so that s the nature of that amendment. again, i don t know that it changes the underlying vote total. some people opposed to the vote have expressed their concerns as well as the medicaid changes and tax credits not being sufficient. i voted against obamacare in 2010. i thought it was a mistake. we would be making a similar mistake if we tried to muscle a bill through. this is something like you say cannot be rushed. this is going to be and it fills need. but it needs to be done right. you voted against obamacare. it took them 14 months to come up with something you did not agree with, right? it s been a short period of time before this bill was rolled out. some would say it was rushed. for you personally what changes would you need to see in order to support this? a few things. one, i think we should pay close attention to what some of our republic can governors said who represent medicaid expansion in states like mine. john kasich, governor snyder. all put forward a proposal to us, a serious proposal on medicaid to provide a softer landing to medicaid expansion states. they are concerned the bill in its current form would be too much of a cost shift to the states. so if there is not a soft landing on medicaid, a lot of people on medicaid expansion will go uninsured. so that s a big issue. we have to beef up the tax credit pretty significantly. that s an issue. there is another issue. i think we should leave the revenue on higher income earners and then basically use that money to help pay for the tax credits. something else that concerns a lot of americans. people over 65, and also people with preexisting conditions, and this is a huge one. i have spoken with a lot of people who are scared to death if this preexisting condition is removed and somebody becomes ill, why punish them when they have to go and get health insurance. with the rising rate of cancer in this country in the number of deaths and number of families afflicted by this horribly der deadly disease. if they are afflicted with cancer or they end up paying a premium and essentially punished and they can t get health insurance for the same amount, why should they pay more? you know, it s a fair point. i think most us on the republican side agree people with preexisting conditions should be protected. we think that s sacrosanct. we think those lifetime caps and those caps on an annual basis. we want to protect people from those types of caps that are subject to annual caps. we want to remove those. keep those off. the 26-year-olds individuals will be able to stay on their parents insurance. a lot of republicans will understand sift those are maintained in any reform that moves forward. i know there are some who are pushing in a different direction were there are some pushing a repeal-only strategy. the truth is parts of the healthcare law need to be repealed. parts of it re-placed. and parts of it maintained. i think we need to get the policy right to match the red rick. kelly: just a few months ago members of the obama administration said they got chemical weapons out of syria. but in the wake of this week s attack, were they praising themselves too soon? our panel will weigh in. i thought i married an italian. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. he was 34% eastern european. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors we thought was italian was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn t know about. he looks a little bit like me, yes. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com it happened in the eastern part of the country. we have no word on how it happened other identity of that soldier so far. u.s. forces have been fighting an isis-affiliated group in that region for the last few years. kelly: days after the chemical attack in syria, officials who work for president trump are under fire because they claimed all chemical weapons were removed from the country thanks to an agreement reached in 2013. just a few months ago former national security advisor susan rice called the deal a success. joining us scott bolten. thank you for joining us today. before i get to that. let me get to susan rice and what she had to say about these chemical weapons and how they dispensed with it in 2013. i think the president stated the u.s. view, the use of chemical weapons is not something we are prepared to allow to persist. we didn t. we managed to accomplish that goal far more thoroughly than we would have by chemical strikes against chemical targets by getting the entirety of the stockpile removed. kelly: with what took place this week with another sarin gas attack that resulted in deaths in syria, what possibly went awry with the obama administration making sure the chemical weapons were dispensed? clearly they were wrong. you have got a quote from susan rice. i feel bad for susan rice because she has been caught in several blunders from the benghazi blunder to the unmasking blunder to now the 2013 quote where she said they removed the entire stockpile. and then you have got a quote from john kerry in 2014 saying that they removed 100% of the chemical weapons. it really sets a tone for the administration really not following through. and either they didn t fact check which is bad, or they blatantly lied. either way, it s misinformation. it left it on trump s shoes to basically take care of business and finish business that the democratic administration has. kelly: it would appear chemical weapons are still there, the tomahawk missile retaliatory strike the u.s. conducted was to give them a stern warning to stop using the chemical weapons. what do you say about all of this? i have been tweeting about this. it s unfortunate the republicans want to directly or urn directly blame it obama administration. in 2013 this agreement had bipartisan support. in drawing the line on whether we were going to bomb niece facilities or not. we bomb these facilities or not. we reached an agreement and allowed russia to remove these chemical weapons. you don t know what the obama administration knew or didn t know. i doubt they were lying. over the last the four years this agreement was on appearance-wise was work. the people to blame are assad and russia. as rex tillerson a couple days ago, either russia was complicit or they are income tent. but you don t blame rice and obama. it s unfair, because this is a humanitarian crisis and all americans support taking out these chemical weapons. it s a national crime to do so. but blaming your democratic opponent. the campaign is over. start to govern, donald trump. kelly: some people are point fringe of saying he didn t. he was definitely disturbed by what he saw. infants choking to death because of sarin gas, and he took action. are you disputing that in terms of governance. he retaliated. what else do you expect him to do? a couple things. i think he has by part and support on this attack because of the international crime. but at the same time he has to get out of campaign mode and be in governance mode. bringing up obama or sue and rice doesn t get us to any great result or end. and laying out america s plan for syria is the next step. he has to go to congress if he wants to continue to be aggressive against syria. kelly: a lot of people would agree with that democrats and republicans alike to, neat has to go to congress. but he raised the bar and made bashar al-assad think twice about doing anything at all. especially russia. scott and nicole, thank you. julie: a massive search underway for a man accused of stealing several the firearms and sending a threatening manifesto to president trump. allegedly stole several guns and sent a threatening manifesto to president trump. reporter: more than 150 members of law enforcement doing everything they can to get the suspect behind bars. it started tuesday when authorities say he broke into a gun store and allegedly stole 16 high-end firearms including two assault rifles. they believe he has a bullet-prove vest and military-style helmet. he allegedly torched his car and disappeared. thursday a so-called associate told authorities he made a vague threat about a school. that caused a number of wisconsin school to the close friday. same sore yet said the 160-page manifesto he sent to president trump voting his criticism of government. the revolution. it s time for change. reporter: the sheriff told me the man fast to has a lot of disregard and disrespect for public oaf figures and law enforcement, calling them quote agents of the 1% to even slave and keep the population down. he s considered armed and dangerous. the f.b.i. is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest. julie: the u.s. keeping up pressure on syria after launching missiles against one of the country s air bases. what the trump administration is what the trump administration is saying about the possibility of another strike. what is scary?
