00:03Two members of the National Guard were shot on this busy street in central Washington, just two blocks away from
00:09the White House.
00:10Both of the guardsmen are said to have been critically-
00:17...terrible people.
00:19Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world.
00:27For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass
00:37murder targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.
00:44Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding
00:52dozens of American hostages for 444 days.

01:02A Washington correspondent, Simon Marks, joins us now.
01:05Simon, good evening to you, or rather good day to you, from where you are, roughly midday, we know, in
01:10the American capital.
01:11What is the White House saying after French President Emmanuel Macron's statement that he has proof the Assad regime was
01:18behind that chemical bomb attack in Douma?
01:22Well, President Trump and his top aides at the White House have insisted for the last 24 hours at least
01:27that they believe the Russians and the Syrians both bear direct responsibility for what they say was a chemical attack
01:35on Douma in the east of Syria.

01:52The day that they announced that the United States had started military operations against Iran, I thought that that would
02:04be a good time to go and fill up my cars and get gas and gas cans.
02:11Because I just assumed that once that started, that gas prices would rise.
02:31Yeah, it's crazy. It's, you know, it's not needed, especially at a time when people are already struggling, but not
02:41unexpected from all this turmoil that's going on.
02:48Russia invaded Ukraine and Wall Street stock futures had crashed.
02:55Now, at the open on Monday, U.S. crude source rate 2% to as high as $111.24 a
03:04barrel after it added a record 36% last week.
03:07The West Texas crude has now nearly doubled from its December low. Benchmark grant crude 2% soared about $110.
03:15In a true social post, U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed a war-related spike in oil prices as a
03:21small price to pay for removing the threat of Iran's nuclear program.
03:25He noted short-term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the disruption of the Iran nuclear threat is over,
