THE REMAINING FORCES WILL BE
THERE TEMPORARILY.
THIS IS A FOX NEWS ALERT.
REACTION FROM THE PRESIDENT'S
COMMENTS ON SYRIA AND MORE FROM
HIS INTERVIEW WITH SEAN HANNITY.
THE PRESIDENT SAID HE'S KEEPING
HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE BY BRINGING
THE TROOPS HOME.
CRITICS ARE POINTING TO THE
LATEST U.S. TROOP DEPLOYMENT
ELSEWHERE IN THE REGION ASKING,
WHAT ABOUT THOSE TROOPS?
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SENT
14,000 TROOPS TO THE REGION
SINCE MAY.
HE CAN TELL HIS POLITICAL
RALLIES THAT HE IS GETTING
TROOPS OUT OF ENDLESS WARS WHEN
HE IS SENDING 14 TIMES THE
AMOUNT BACK INTO THE REGION.
>> Shannon: REPUBLICAN
SENATOR MIKE LEE SITS ON THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND HAS BEEN
VERY VOCAL.
WELCOME BACK.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" ACCUSING
THE PRESIDENT OF HAVING MIXED
MESSAGES.
HE IS SAYING WE DON'T NEED DON'T
NEED MIDDLE EASTERN OIL.
ISIS IS LARGELY DEFEATED AND
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR THE
U.S. TO DO AND SYRIA.
ON THE OTHER HAND, WE MIGHT NEED
TROOPS TO PROTECT THE OIL FIELD
AND WHOSE IRAQ.
DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE A CLEAR
POLICY?
>> I THINK "THE WASHINGTON POST"
MUST BE CONFUSED.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM BEING AS
AN ENTITY THAT WANTS TO PUSH US
INTO MORE WARS.
WANTS US TO REMAIN IN AN AREA
WHERE WE DON'T HAVE AN
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE USE OF
MILITARY FORCE OR DECLARATION OF
WAR AND SAY, LET'S GO THERE AND
DO IT.
THEY NEED TO PICK A HORSE AND
RIDE IT HERE.
WE DON'T HAVE A DECLARATION OF
WAR.
WE NEED TO NOT BE HERE AND I
APPLAUD PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
DECISION TO TAKE US OUT.
>> Shannon: YOUR FRIEND AND
COLLEAGUE LINDSEY GRAHAM HAS
BEEN VERY CRITICAL OF THE
PRESIDENT.
HE SAID HE IS MORE OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
ARE BEING PUT IN PLACE.
HE ALSO MET WITH THE PRESIDENT
OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIS
CONVERSATION.
>> WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM HER?
>> THE LONGER THIS GOES THE MORE
COMPROMISE THE ABILITY TO KEEP
THE ISIS FIGHTERS AND JAIL.
WE NEED TO GET THIS THING OVER
WITH AS SOON AS WE CAN AND NOT
BLAME TURKEY FOR CREATING THE
CHAOS THAT MAY LEAD TO THE
REEMERGENCE OF ISIS.
>> WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP?
>> Shannon: HE SAID THE
MESSAGES, HELP US.
>> FOR LINDSEY GRAHAM OR ANY
MEMBER OF CONGRESS DISAGREES
WITH THE PRESIDENT AND I DON'T.
I AGREE.
IF LINDSEY GRAHAM OR ANYBODY
ELSE IN CONGRESS DISAGREES, LET
THEM BRING IT FORWARD TO BRING A
DECLARATION OF WAR.
LET THEM BRING FORWARD ANY
DECLARATION OF WAR.
INSTEAD OF THE REPRESENTATIVES
HAVING THIS PHONY SHOW BOATS AND
WE DON'T LIKE IT, LET THEM GO
AFTER THE BAR AND LET THEM COME
FORWARD AND SAY WE WANT TO
DECLARE WAR IN SYRIA AND
AUTHORIZE THE PRESIDENT.
THAT IS WHAT THEY OUGHT TO DO.
THAT IS WHAT THEY WOULD DO IF
THEY MEANT IT.
>> Shannon: SPEAKING OF VOTES,
CHRIS WALLACE HAD THIS TO SAY
ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF
IMPEACHMENT COMES TO A VOTE IN
THE SENATE AFTER TRIAL.
>> I TALKED TO A VERY
WELL-CONNECTED REPUBLICAN AND
WASHINGTON THIS WEEK.
SOMEBODY'S NAME YOU WOULD KNOW
WELL.
THEY SAY IF THE HOUSE VOTES TO
IMPEACH AND AGAINST WHICH TRIAL
THERE IS NOW A 20% CHANCE -- HE
BELIEVES IT'S AN ESTIMATE, 20%
CHANCE AND AFTER REPUBLICANS
WILL VOTE WITH THE DEMOCRATS TO
REMOVE THE PRESIDENT.
>> Shannon: WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
>> THIS IS NONSENSE, SCIENCE
FICTION, FANTASY.
I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR
CHRIS WALLACE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS TALKING
TO.
HOWEVER FOR SAYING THIS HIM IS
WRONG.
THERE ARE SIMPLY NOT THE SUPPORT
OF THEIR AND THE REASON IS THE
PRESIDENT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING
IMPEACHABLE.
LOOK, IT MAY BE THAT HE KNOW
SOMETHING THAT THE REST OF US
DON'T, BUT BASED ON THE
INFORMATION WE HAVE RIGHT NOW,
THIS PRESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING THAT COULD LEAD TO
THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE'S GETTING
IT.
>> Shannon: YOU BEEN VERY
VOCAL ON THE ISSUE OF RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM.
I WANT TO SHOW SOMETHING FROM US
BE 11.
TAKEN WITH THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS
FROM RELIGIOUS GROUPS WHO DON'T
AGREE WITH HIM ON THE SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE.
>> ANYONE SHOULD WORSHIP AS THEY
PREDEMO PLEASE, BELIEVE WHAT
THEY LIKE, BUT THE MOMENT THAT
ANY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION
OFFERS SERVICES IN THE PUBLIC
SPHERE, HIGHER EDUCATION IS A
GREAT EXAMPLE.
HEALTH CARE CLINIC OR HOSPITAL.
THEY MUST FOLLOW THE LAWS OF
THIS COUNTRY INCLUDING THE LAW
THAT PROHIBITS DISCRIMINATION
BASED ON ANY DIFFERENCE.
>> Shannon: REACTION?
>> THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST
TERRIFYING SENTENCES UTTERED BY
A POLITICIAN.
EVERY CANDIDATE NEEDS TO BE
ASKED IF THEY AGREE WITH THAT.
IF THEY DO, I HOPE AND EXPECT
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD NOT
VOTE FOR THAT PERSON.
IT'S WRONG.
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE THE GOVERNMENT IS DECIDING
WHICH UNFAVORABLE -- RELIGIOUS
VIEWS THE GOVERNMENT DISFAVORS.
THAT IS WRONG AND IT OUGHT TO
