Assad speaks for first time since fleeing Syria

Retired Marines intelligence officer Hal Kempfer joins LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to discuss former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's first comments since being forced to flee to Russia. Assad, who over the last decade and a half became notorious for his brutal and oppressive tactics employed during the civil war, released a statement on Telegram suggesting he was nothing but dedicated to Syria and remains hopeful that "Syria will once again be free and independent."
