. >> nikki: adam? that was months ago. >> paul: nikki... we have reason to believe that someone killed him. >> nikki: what?

>> i think you heard nikki haley call out russia. there is blood on russia's hands. you will see congress on the coming days call on the united nations to act and condemn in the strongest terms possible, the murderous activities of the assad regime. we'll be calling on the assad regime to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. this is a despicable act and this administration, administrations around the world cannot sit idly by and do nothing. >> listen to these strong words from nikki haley earlier today. >> reporter: russia cannot escape responsibility for this. in facts, if russia had been fulfilling their responsibility, there would not be any chemical weapons left for assad to use. >>> senator, how do you explain tough condemnation of russia and its support for assad as well as the president's silence when it comes to russia, he doesn't even mention russia's involvement in syria. >> what i think is clear is that nikki haley, the administration is calling on the administration to act in the strongest way possible and build a coalition that can prot

>> nikki: will you please hear me out? i could get reed to

>> nikki: will you please hear me out?

nikki hailey, rex tillerson, who has not really had a voice yet, but seems to be slowly -- >> nikki hailey seems to be doing most of the talking. >> yeah, and there is a tremendous amount of criticism because he has been so radicent, so can they come up with a policy and present it to the president. sometimes you have state taking a position, defense taking another, and defense taking a third. the president does not have the background, the experience to be able to choose options. it is important therefore the advisors reach consensus and say this is collectively our recommendation. >> with bannon out of the way, he won't interfere in that process. we have no indication he is losing any influence with the president, he is just out of this one place it seemed unusual in the first place. >> and it was maybe a blessing for him. foreign policy is hard. he probably doesn't want to be associated with that. with proximity comes responsibility. leave it to the professionals, do not try this at home, it's not for amateurs. let him go back to what he is doing. >> you said something very interesting

but nikki haley, the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has become a prominent face of the trump administration in its first 100 days. one of the most outspoken foreign policy figures defending his world view. cnn jamie is joining me now. you just sad down for a one-on-one interview with nikki haley. fascinating. what did she tell you? >> we talked about a lot of things. we talked about how she grew up in a very small town in south carolina. we talked about her relationship with donald trump, how much they talk to each other. more than you would expect. and about her relationship with secretary of state rex tillerson since she has taken on such a big part of the spotlight. but i think where we really started is that no one expected her to really be the star of this cabinet. >> from condemning the chemical attacks in syria. >> look at those pictures. >> to her aggressive stance on regime change. >> strengthening assad will only lead to more murders. >> u.n. ambassador nikki haley has taken center stage as th

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley. she will be speaking publicly for the first time since the suspected chemical attack that killed dozens of people including children. we will bring it to you live. weeds. nature's boomerang. at roundup®, we know they keep coming back. you never invited this stubborn little rascal to your patio. so, draw the line. one spray of roundup® max control 365 kills to the root and keeps weeds away for up to 12 months. because patios should be for cooking out and kicking back. roundup® max control 365. draw the line. prevent weeds from coming back for up to one year. my belly pain i could build a small city with all the over-the-counter products i've used. enough! i've tried enough laxatives to cover the eastern seaboard. i've climbed a mount everest of fiber. probiotics? enough!

. >>> nikki haley is speaking right now. let's listen in for just a bit. >> that changed last night. as i warped warned on wednesda the international community fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times when states are compelled to take their own action. the indiscriminate use of we chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. the united states will not stand by when chemical weapons are used. sit in our security interest to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons. our military destroyed the airfield from which this week's chemical strike took place. we were fully justified in doing so. the moral stain of the assad regime could no longer go unanswered. his crimes against humanity could no longer be met with empty words. it was time to say, enough. but not only say it, it was time to act. bashar al assad must never use chical weans again ever. now, while the syrian regime is responsible for the chemical weapons' attack, it is not the only guilty party. the iranian government bears a he

ambassador nikki haley. as you know, the russians are denying that assad had anything to do with it. in fact a spokesman for russian defense ministry said this weekend the u.s. has no prove of chemical weapons at the airbase that was attacked by the u.s. military and he said quote it's all looking a bit too much like colin powell's test tube white powder. will the trump administration produce the evidence that you just referred to? >> first of all, it cracks me up russia can say those twhings a straight face. truly it's amazing they continue to cover for assad. very telling. it's not putting russia in a good light at all in the international community. what we've seen in our meetings this week we were told of the evidence. we saw the evidence. the president saw the evidence. all of that is classified. when you look at director mike pompeo he's been looking at his counterparts and sharing the information he has. the international community has spoken and russia is out there on an island saying assad didn't do

smack. >> reporter: nikki was in the back seat this saturn driven by a classmate. her family believes that driver was using her phone prior to the crash. nikki was killed. the driver eventually plead guilty to a failure to stop violation. but just hours after nik can i's death her legacy began. her father started people against distracted driving in his daughter's name. since her death hundreds of these signs have been put up on highs way cross the country. >> i think she knows i'm doing something when i come here. i miss her, man. i miss her a lot. >> reporter: now he's a dad using pain as a purpose to make sure another father doesn't have to go through what he has. >> if we can save one life by it it's priceless. because one other family won't have to go through what we go through. >> reporter: now next week the organization is having a walk in in. kim ki s honor on the anniversary of her death and mike will be appearing on "good day philadelphia" tomorrow morning to talk about his daughter and that organization. iain? >> chris, thank you. >>> on your radar tonig

that's all. >> and nikki probably smiled at this. john dead lifting 602 pounds on his 40th birthday last sunday. >> was that unreal? >> is that a record? >> certainly is for 40 years old, for me, so, i just wanted to send a message, a lot of folks get to a certain age and they think, ah, well, that's it. if you keep moving around, you'll be all right. >> see if john can lift over 600 pounds, he sho h problem lifting nikki over the threshold. >> absolutely. now, look, nancy, i'm going to call this fine fella friday, because i see your john cena and i raise you charlie hunnam. he's going medieval now as king arthur. >> a shirtless charlie hunnam and a cameo by david beckham. just two of the reasons why we want to see this action-packed adventure. even if becks looks like this. >> that's what all the fuss is about? >> directed by guy ritchie and shot on location throughout the united kingdom, the centuries-old legend of king arthur gets a brand new spin. but no dragons in this mythical world. instead, look out for giant elephants. >> 85

i just want that smile. >> and nikki probably smiled at this. john deadlifting 602 pounds on his 40th birthday. >> is that a record? >> it certainly is for me. i just want to send a message when people say, you get to a certain age, that's it. just keep moving around. >> john should have no problem lifting nikki over the threshold. >>> and i see your john cena, and a raise you a charlie hunnam, now going medieval with "king arthurs. ." >> a shirtless charlie hunnam and a cameo by david beckham. just two of the reasons why we want to see this action-packed medieval adventure. even if becks looks like this. >> that's what all the fuss is about? >> directed by guy ritchie and shot on location throughout the united kingdom, the centuries-old legend of king arthur gets a brand new spin. but no dragons in this mythical world. instead, look out for giant elephants. >> 85% of this film is about character and storytelling, and then we're going to sprinkle some magic on top and, you know, blow the scope way wider. as you see behind us, we're on fully real

nikki haley gave a similar kind of speech. donald trump and barack obama neither one of them have taken aggressive action to remove assad. has that now changed? >> that's a fascinating question, let's be honest, the united states under the obama administration lost credibility. the united states drew a red line with president obama about chemical weapons attacks, but he did not knowdo anything with assad. a lot of inaction by the obama administration. i think what we heard from nikki haley i think the question is does the trump administration want to end up in the same box with having the word look at what the united states says it's just words. this is a decision that the president will make by listening what does it mean with steve bannon, eyebrows raised, from chief political strategist in the administration someone who thinks george w. bush made a mistake in iraq. who doesn't think that it is and should be worried about its economy. the white house says he was there to help former national security adviser michael flynn to

i don't know what they're doing right there, clemson and nikki haley. david: the cell busted in u.s. is in north carolina, you might think you're out of harm's way, but you're not, everybody is at risk here, steve, we're about to have a trip by the president to saudi arabia. we don't know when, they're holding that close to the vest because of security concerns. >> it's interesting that we could use part of the islamic world to go against a dangerous part of the islamic world, no? >> absolutely. the saudis and the gulf states are terrified what iran is doing and egypt is in the cross-hairs of iran. iran wants to be the dominant power, if they don't resist they will be vassals of iran. david: even though we may be overwrought about iran. the saudis. >> if the saudis want to fix the problem, allegedly a middle east problem, let them do it why let me stick with it we're worried about it happening here and if they get missile technology and put a nuke on top. they could have it here. >> there's a bigger threat to our well-being is a $4 trillion government.

nikki haley decided to say what she said on her own. but none that of is integrated with what the white house will or won't do. so, you know, it's all -- everybody is freelancing. and the guy at the charge only cares about one thing, himself. >> and max, when you have a president who doesn't have a position, which is not common on most issues, the strong people in an administration do have a position, and they step forward. especially because no one is telling them not to. and that's what you saw at the united nations today. you saw a u.n. ambassador who stood up and said this is what i think, and this is what i believe the united states should represent here. and she didn't have to check with rex tillerson. apparently. why can't rex tillerson sound like nikki haley? >> i think, lawrence, there is no question. i wouldn't be quite so hard on tillerson as you have been. but i will say he has a steep learning curve. he clearly doesn't know the job. and anybody who thinks being ceo of exxonmobil translates into being secretary of state has

ambassador nikki haley this morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern on cnn. >>> some top british officials are lending their support to the u.s. actions in syria. now one of them, the defense secretary, says that last week's chemical attack is russia's fault. if vladimir putin needs to step up and stop bashar al assad. we will break down the comments next. >>> political satire political baldwin back on "snl" and slamming the president and taking out fox news in the process. >> i even went as far as saying, quote, bill o'reilly did nothing wrong. >> that's good. >> that's based upon -- >> a hunch. just a hunch. t dust and allerges get between you and life's beautiful moments. flonase allergy relief delivers more complete relief. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause all your symptoms, including nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. flonase is an allergy nasal spray that works even beyond the nose. so you can enjoy every beautiful moment to the fullest. flonase. 6>1 changes everything. yet up 90% fall short in getting k

i think this is a good plus for nikki haley. it shows she has political juice, access to the president, the 200 members of the united nations like that. they like the u.n. ambassador to be a player. i would expect that what russia and china said would be the most if the is any message from the russn ambassador, chinese ambassador on north korea, especially the chinese ambassador on north korea, because tuesday is the anniversary in north korea of the korean people's army. and i bet you they will do something. a missile test or a nuclear test. they are up to something. and i think it is important that their be a coordinated response, especially from the five permanent members of the u.n. security council. russia, china, britain, france and the u.s. and i know there are 15 but the main ones are the five permanent. >> and andrea mitchell, saying they are meeting prior to lunch with the president with members of congress over at blair house for coffee. so is it north korea and russia, are those the main sticking points or is it most

. >> meanwhile nikki haley says the u.s. has multiple priorities in syria and one of them political stability is impossible with assad still as president. >> there's not any sort of option where a political solution is going to happen with assad at the head of the regime. if you look at the actions it's hard to see a government that's peaceful and stable with assad. >> haley is calling out russia and -- for support. the warning of tougher sanctions is not off the table. ahead of this, high stakes meeting with rex tillerson and russian ambassador. >> has anything really changed? let's bring in cnn international correspondent ben wedeman. good morning to you. the air base that was bombed is apparently now back in operation, so did these strikes actually create a deterrent or did the mission fail? >> reporter: well, perhaps they did create a deterrent for another chemical strike like we saw last tuesday which left 89 people dead but looking at the bigger picture, it really hasn't changed the reality inside syria. what we have s

nikki haley. >>> first, though, some severe weather out there this morning. allison chinchar is on it for you. what are you seeing, allison? good morning. >> we're looking at an area for severe threat this easter weekend. we look at the map. typically march through may you see in the red region. once we get later in the season, it begins to spread farther north and little farther west, but it's this yellow area where we don't have severe weather in may and july. that's where we're starting to see today and as we go into the weekend. main threat for severe weather today, madison stretching down to oklahoma city, large hail, damaging winds but also the potential for some tornadoes. here's a look at the forecast as we go forward. a lot of really heavy rain on the northern fringe of this. it's a lot of the super cells and lot of the stronger storms that are going to develop especially as we go late into the afternoon and also into the evening hours to want that we have to pay very close attention to. new roundup for lawns has arrived to put unwelcome lawn weeds t

i'm so happy with the job that nikki is doing and our representatives, but nikki and the group and i see the relationship that she's already developed. i think that the united nations has tremendous potential, tremendous potential. far greater than what i would say any other candidate in the last 30 years would have even thought to say. i don't think it's -- i know it hasn't lived up to the potential. i see a day when there's a conflict with the united nations, you get together and you solve the conflict. you just don't see the united nations solving conflicts. i think that's going to start happening now. >> senior white house correspondent jim acosta inside the white house briefing room getting ready for the sean spicer briefing. senior international correspondent ivan watson joining us live from seoul south korea. jim, what should we expect to hear from the white house press secretary as far as strategy on north korea, the latest u.s. steps? we heard a strong statement there from the president. >> we absolutely heard a very strong statement from the president there, wolf. that was

now, a one-time critic, nikki haley coming to his defense. cnn goes behind her growing role as ambassador to the u.n. think again. this is the new new york. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov i did active duty 11 years.my in july of '98. and two in the reserves. our 18 year old was in an accident. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. it actually helped to know that somebody else cared and wanted make sure that i was okay. that was really great. we're the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. call today to talk about your insurance needs. >>> so, whether it is the crisis in syria, u.s./china relations, or nato's place in the world stage, this week the president is making a series of big foreign policy shifts, a move that is riling

>> nikki: that's not important right now. but i asked for you to come over to take advantage of this moment to protect my husband. >> scott: victor needs protecting? >> nikki: he most certainly does. >> scott: who could be a threat to victor newman? >> phyllis: [ sighs ]

ambassador nikki haley, she said how many more children have to die before russia cares? is there an answer from moscow? >> reporter: well, there hasn't been one yet except to say that the russian foreign ministry has tweet today me this morning texted me this morning saying they regard bashar assad is a -- of an independent country and that's not going to change and following rex tillerson calling on russia to review its support of bashar assad. look, whatever the foreign policy is going to be of the trump administration moving forward when it comes to syria, these are some of the strongest words from trump officials since back in january, the can criticism of russia, how many children have to die before russia cares, donald trump donald trump interestingly he didn't detention russia when he was mentioning this alleged chemical attack in syria, but has put a huge question mark over this whole idea of a reset, saying he wanted to build a better relationship with russia, but if they're contemplating any kind of unilateral action in syria that's going to be bring them butti

. >> but he is the boss of nikki haley. the pecking order is he's the boss. >> and this white house could benefit from having a strong woman's voice out there leading on something. >> my point is don't try to make it like, you do what i tell you to do which is a little bit how it came out. >> just because she's a woman, i don't think we should -- >> that's right. i just think she's a solid voice. >> you're making something out of nothing with the whole -- >> i said when you have somebody who is credible, who seems to know what she's talking about, and who is verbal, compared to a self-muted secretary of state, you do that at your own risk. >> i'm moving to the next topic. growing backlash today from democrats on president obama's big payday from wall street, getting paid $400,000 to speak at a conference, paid for by a wall street firm. >> i think at a time when people are so frustrated with the power of wall street and the big money interests, i think it is unfortunate that president obama is doing this. >> senator warren,

nikki haley has been in the spotlight a lot. last week she took a stance yesterday after russia vetoed a resolution condemning the killings. >> reporter: from condemning the chemical attacks in syria. >> look at those pictures. >> reporter: to her aggressive stance on regime change. >> strengthening assad will only lead to more murderers. >> reporter: u.n. ambassador nikki haley has taken center stage is the voice of policy in the trump administration. >> for those who don't have our back, we're taking names. >> reporter: or contradict her boss. russia is trying to show muscle. i think we should contradict them. >> reporter: has he ever said to you you shouldn't have said something? >> no, he has not. >> reporter: are you surprised. >> i'm not surprised because he knew that when he hired me that i made it clear i didn't want to be a wall flower or talking head. i'm very passionate by nature and he's fine with it. >> reporter: how much is coordinated with the white house and the state department? >> it's always coordinated with t

>> nikki: that's not important right now. but i asked for you to come over to take advantage of this moment to protect my husband. >> scott: victor needs protecting? >> nikki: he most certainly does. >> scott: who could be a threat to victor newman? >> phyllis: [ sighs ]

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley during today's u.n. security council meeting, strongly criticizing the role that the iranians were playing in the continuing conflict here in the middle east. yesterday, the secretary of state rex tillerson warned about the unchecked iran. this. >> iran is the world? leading state sponsor of terrorism and is responsible for intensifying multiple conflicts and underminingmi u.s. interest. in countries such as syria, yemen, iraq, and lebanon. and continuing to support attacks against israel. and unchecked iran has a potential to travel thel same path as north korea. and it take the world along with it. >> sean: n joining us now it's reaction is the president of the jerusalem center for public affairs, dore gold. good to see you. great to to to be back in youre country. let's get your reaction. the united nations, constantly, and of the american anti-semitic on display again today. nikki haley tried to drive the discussion back to the number one statee sponsor of terror. the irani and hezbollah, they are fe

you sat down with nikki haley. what did she tell you? >> we talked about her relationship with donald trump and also secretary of state rex tillerson to see if he minds that she's in the spotlight so much. but you know, she is the rising starve this administration. and no one is more surprised than she is that she's center stage. >> from condemning the chemical attacks in syria -- >> look at those pictures. >> to her aggressive stance on regime change. >> strength ening assad will lead to more murders. >> u.n. ambassador nikki haley has taken center stage as the leading voice of foreign policy in the trump administration. not afraid to speak her mind -- >> for those that don't have our back, we're taking names. >> or contradict her boss. >> russia is trying to show their muscle. i don't think that we can trust them. has he ever said to you, you shouldn't have said something? >> no, he has not. >> are you surprised of that? >> i'm not surprised because he knew that when he hired me that i've made it clear, i didn't want to be a wall flowe

nikki haley's attitude clearly shows this an independent administration. and it send a message to putin that we are not to be messed with, and also with the chinese premiere dealing with north korea. the nature of how we are going to behave on the field and the arguments that wield bend over for russia, this eliminated that concern. cheryl: eric, you ju ce back. i promise we'll get questions out to you. president trump meeting with the chinese president. the latest next. when you're close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. in fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. do not use if you are allergic to taltz. before starting you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them.

. >> nikki: well, not as far as the world knows, but they're never gonna know. emotionally, i have already separated myself from your father. and i told him personally we are living separate lives. >> victoria: you know, nick and i didn't think you'd be able to do it. >> nikki: i'm not going to forgive victor this time. he lost his right to be a member of this family the minute he brought chloe back to town. and of course, he's not invited tonight. i made that very clear. >> victoria: thank you. >> nikki: so, you, nicholas, and i -- we're still together on this, right? because we need to be a united front. >> victoria: dad set adam's death in motion. he can't get away with it. i'm with you, mom. >> nikki: i do worry about your brother, though. i think it's gonna be hard for

you heard what nikki hail le just said. want just going after the russians but the iranians who are supporting the assad regime. william cohen is joining us. he was the secretary of defense during the bill clinton administration. you have confidence, secretary, in the direction of this trump administration strategy in dealing with the syrian regime? >> well, we don't know the strategy. we know that there was a strike and the question will become is there a comprehensive strategy looking at both syria, russia to be sure, but also iran. there has to be a comprehensive strategy dealing with the entire region. otherwise, we're going towndown alley where we're not sure the end will be. i applaud what trump has done and i believe secretary tillerson and secretary mattis have really made a case to president trump to take this action and i'm glad he has done so. but i think taking it a step further, we have to see what the plan is and i agree that congress has to be brought in. they have to be briefed. they have to be brought on bo

policy was because of the confusion with tillerson versus nikki haley. so diplomacy is the highest form of politics in some way. every word matters. i think you're seeing that fact. lavrov, i think, wanted to point out the fact that the united states had used different words, tillerson, trump, nikki haley. i'm interested to know when you hear this tough talk out of russia. one thing that we know is donald trump believes very strongly in sort of being the tough guy, backing up what he says and with action. so i was in syria last week and throughout the campaign he said to say america isn't feared anymore. we need to be respected and feared at some level and these countries need to know they won't get a free pass when they say and do something. this is a test with a very large country, and someone of geopolitical importance that we can't sort of write off. let's see how the trump policy of i'm going to make good and we're not going to have empty threats and let's see how it works in the face of tough talk from the russians. the answer is we don't know. the

i think to the point that nikki haley was making at the u.n. earlier what we've heard, russia and its willingness, that's what the obama administration and secretary kerry was doing several years with the united nations continually over 2 1/2 years where russia was obliged to put pressure on assad. every time they were going to do that, they seem less likely to do that now. to echo what clarissa was saying there there isn't the language, there was nothing in the proposed resolution of the united nations that says you must cease and desist. we insist that you don't do this again. there was nothing that this language. it was very much a message without heat. and to president trump's point that he is dealt a weaker hand in syria, because of president obama. certainly, we can see the situation that russia took advantage when president obama didn't back up his red line. so president trump has been left with fewer cards to play with. but the pressure will be on him to deal with it far more astutely than perhaps other issues on his plate because he, t

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, she was asked about regime change. she didn't exactingly say that the u.s. policy was to pursue regime change in syria, but essentially that all parties would soon realize that bashar al assad cannot stay the commander in chief, the leader of syria. however rex tillerson the u.s. secretary of state when asked a couple of days after the strike if there is a change in u.s.'s policy toward syria, he said no change. so it doesn't sound like they're singing from the same hymn sheet. what do you make of that? >> this is an administration full of conflicts. when the secretary of state was asked, he said our first and foremost priority is to defeat isis. after we defeat isis, we'll pay more attention to syria and we try to resolve the syrian conflict. he didn't say militarily regime change, but he said political transition in syria means the end of the assad regime as we know it. this is a very complex situation. it's been six years. assad is there to stay. russia is the most dominant powers. the reality is, the question on th

the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley. not 20 minutes later, you responded, quote, donald trump, bless your heart. what does that mean? >> it is a polite way to say read between the lines. >> trump did not take it permane personally. naming her the ambassador to the u.n. >> and with secretary of state tillerson. he kept a low profile and you have been out there. any awkwardness? >> i think it is the personality. i think he is very much an executive and thoughtful in his approach and how he moves forward. i'm not afraid to say anything. i'm not easily intimidated. i think we compliment each other well. >> its has however led to speculation that some day haley might like his job or higher office. >> everybody i talk to said does she want to be secretary of state? >> no. >> do you want to be senator? >> no. >> are you going to run for the white house? >> no. >> you are not going to run for white house? >> you know what is amazing. this happened my entire work career. everyone thinks that i'm ambitious. everybody thinks i'm tr

nikki haley shortly and we'll keep an eye on that when it happens. >> nikki haley says that the u.s. is comfortable leaving assad in power and that's not their focus right now and this attack ensues. before we take you there, we do want to take you to the front lines of this attack, but before we show you these images, they are incredibly, incredibly disturbing and our ben wedeman is on the turkey-syria border. what are you seeing, ben? >> reporter: yeah, what we saw just about an hour ago, poppy, was a nuclear biological, chemical mobile laboratory, a turkish one that was passing from this side into syria. the turkish health minister says that turkey has looked at all of the symptoms, examined more than 30 people who were brought from syria into turkey and they say all those symptoms point to that this was a chemical attack. they say they are going to provide their data, their results to the world health organization. now just a couple of hours ago we were at a nearby state hospital where we were able to speak to three of the victims of that attack yesterday. one of them, a 13-year-

>> right, and we heard from nikki haley, the u.n. ambassador who sounded a lot like language-wise like sean spicer. what is it? i don't know that they know candidly, wolf. there's no obvious answer here. i always remind people this is -- this is not on donald trump necessarily. this is deeply complex set offish are use. there are no good options from a policy perspective boston also from a political perspective. lot of polling in the last 24 hours where people broadly speaking support the strike that was made against the air base but don't -- there's no consensus or anything close to a consensus, diplomacy alone or air strikes without ground force and 70% of the people do not want ground troops in the area. >> another remarkable statement that sean spicer delivered today at his briefing, elise, and it involved what is called barrel bombing. i want you to listen to this. >> yeah. >> if you gas a baby, if you put a barrel bomb in to innocent people, i think you can -- you will see a response from this president. that is unacceptable. >

the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley exclamation point. and not 20 minutes later you responded, quote, @realdonaldtrump, bless your heart. what does bless your heart mean when you're from south carolina? >> it's a southern polite way of saying read between the lines. >> reporter: trump didn't hold it against her, naming haley his u.s. ambassador. it appears he's pleased with her high public profile. >> reporter: is there any tension between secretary state tillerson. he has been so quiet and such a low profile. you've been out there. any awkwardness. >> i think it's just the personalities. he's very much an executive, he's thoughtful in his approach and how he moves forward. i'm one that's not afraid to say anything. you know, i'm not easily intimidated, so i can go out and say things. i think we actually compliment each other very well. >> reporter: it has however led to speculation that some day haley might like his job or higher office. >> reporter: to everybody i talk to said, does she want to be secretary of state. >> no. >> reporter:

nikki haley called assad a war criminal. we will have more of that interview later on in our program. >> president trump announcing the air strikes while meeting in florida with china's president. joining us now live from mar-a-lago with the latest from a trump compound in florida is fox news correspondent kristin fisher. kristin, what's happening on the ground. >> he made his first big military action and presence he showed two things. he is willing to take decisive military action perhaps what his predecessor were not. he also said he is willing to be very flexible and change his stance as situation more in. it was just last week that the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley said that regime changing in syria it was no longer the top priority. this white house and then watched syrian president escalated with a series of escalations culminating with that syrian gas attack. from there, president trump had a series of two meetings with his national security council. they presented him with a series of options, president tr

>> the crucial question is exactly the one you pointed to with nikki haley's comment. strategically, i think, we're all trying to figure out, okay, the strike happened. it does seem to be a one-off. has it changed the strategy? the strategy that the trump -- >> u.s. strategy? >> u.s. strategy. the trump administration came in saying exactly what you're saying. isis is our problem. assad is not. >> yes. >> it seems to have changed, in a sense, back to the obama policy which is, we want to get rid of assad but this is now the trump administration so if you want to get rid of assad, are you willing to stay the course and put military power to bear? are you willing to do more strikes? and if you are, i think that the scenarios that the other guests have outline ready entirely plausible. there's going to be pushback and backlash, not just from the russians, potentially from the syrians, from the iranian allies. remember, there are a bunch of american soldiers in the field in syria, in iraq. trump has actually doubled the number in syria. there are potential targets, not eas
