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
