dogs are living in foster homes until it's safe to return. another week down, lots of news, hope you join us next week. we will be here all five days. thanks for joining us. i'm dana perino. shepard is next. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in d.c., today president trump took two major steps to roll back the work of his predecessor. the latest, a move that could end up taking apart the iran nuclear deal. >> i am announcing a new strategy to address the full range of iran's destructive actions. >> shepard: the president kicking it back to congress to determine what happens next. ahead, the options lawmakers have, and the reactions of america's allies. the president also making a dramatic move on healthcare, cutting off obamacare payments that help low income americans cover insurance costs. critics say they'll sue k they stop it? in northern california, strong

winds are whipping up the wildfires today. the devastation stretches for miles. so many have died or lost everything. this couple survived, only because they jumped into a swimming pool and stayed there for hours. their incredible story, as hope flairs amid the ashes. let's get to it. >> announcer: shepard smith reporting live from the fox newsdesk. >> >> shepard: good friday afternoon. president trump announcing he is not signing off on the iran nuclear deal calling it one of the worst and most one-sided transactions of all time. he is not, though, pulling the united states out of the agreement at least not yet. that truly is the headline today. the president's decision sends this issue to congress and the president threatened to terminate the agreement if lawmakers do not come up with a solution. during the speech from the white house today, the president condemned iran for actions going back decades. he said it's a matter much national security and his

highest obligation is to protect americans. he once again accused iran of violating the spirit. agreement. >> president trump: while the united states adhere to our commitment under the deal, the iranian regime continues to feel conflict -- fuel conflict, terror, and turmoil throughout the middle east and beyond. given the regime's murderous past and present we should not take lightly its sinister vision for the future. >> shepard: under the 2015 nuclear deal world powers agreed to lift sanctions in exchange for iran cutting back on its nuclear program. the president's decision today gives congress 60 days to decide whether to reimpose those sanctions. analysts say that would essentially cause the deal to fall apart. congress could also do nothing and leave the agreement in place. rex tillerson says lawmakers should come up with triggers that could lead to new sanctions in the future. the triggers could include

iran's ballistic missile launches or advances in the nuclear program. of course candidate donald trump promised to rip up the agreement once he took office. he called it the stupidest deal of all time. today he suggested the damage is done. >> president trump: the saddest part of the deal for the united states is that all of the money was paid up front which is unheard of rather than at the end of the deal when they have shown they've played by the rules. what's done is done. >> shepard: president trump announcing he puts new sanctions on iran's revolutionary guard the most powerful military force. the white house accuses the revolutionary guard of supporting the syrian dictator and backing militant groups in the middle east. iran's president says his country will continue to stick to the nuclear agreement but he warned he could change his mind. the chief white house correspondent john roberts is live on the north lawn.

john? >> good afternoon. what is important to note, you noted at the beginning, bears repeating this is not taking the united states out of the joint comprehensive plan of action, the iran nuclear deal. it just sets in place the process in congress to come up with some sort of fix for the jcpoa that satisfies the president. to do nothing or to unilaterally impose sanctioning at the end of the 60 day period. the president made it clear he thinks there are serious flaws in the jcpoa and as well he also thinks that congress needs to take action on the other things iran is doing. the revolutionary guard as you pointed out, support for bashar al asaf, support for terrorism around the globe and iran's nuclear missile -- ballistic missile program as well. here's how the president put it in terms of what he wants for fixes. >> president trump: these include the deal's sunset clauses that in just a few years will eliminate key restrictions

on iran's nuclear program. the flaws in the deal also include insufficient enforcement and near total silence on iran's missile programs. >> the president mentioned that some members of congress were already working on this. indeed they are. senators corker, cotton and rubio are coming up with a proposal for a fix that would require automatic snapback of u.s. sanctions if iran goes under a one-year breakout period and moves closer to a nuclear weapon. those restrictions would remain in force indefinitely. it would rid the jcpoa of sunset provisions as they apply to sanctions. year eight in the agreement, the sunset provisions start to kick in. become fully in effect in yeesh 15. it bolsters the atomic energy commission's powers. nuclear inspectors weren't allowed to get in some iranian sites.

would limit iran's advanced centrifuge program. the president made it clear if congress doesn't come up with a fix that he likes, this is in the do nothing category, if congress does nothing, the president says he will act. listen here. >> president trump: i support these initiatives. however, in the event we are not able to reach a solution working with congress and our allies then the agreement will be terminated. it is under continuous review and our participation can be cancelled by me as president at any time. >> that's pretty strident threat the president is making. what this does, shep, even if congress were to do nothing and the president weren't to cancer the jcpoa, it allows him to tell you is porters who made good on the campaign promise to do something about the iran nuclear deal. he can say i tried, congress didn't come through f congress

decides to do nothing. . >> shepard: president trump unravelling the affordable care act. he said the government will stop making subsidy payments to insurers immediately. they bring down co-pays and deductibles for people with low incomes. the white house says it can't keep making these payments because congress never authorized the money. the president telling democrats to call him to cut a deal. >> president trump: now, if the democrats were smart, what they'd do is come and negotiate something where people could really get the kind of healthcare that they deserve being citizens of our great country. >> shepard: democrats say the president has sub tajed obamacare out of spite. some states attorney general promise to sue the president for ending the subsidy payment. new york's democratic attorney general says president trump has threatened to cut off the subsidies to undermine our healthcare system and force congress to the negotiating table.

that's unacceptable. our coalition of states stands ready to sue. analysts say insurance companies will still have to give discounts to low income companies so they could make up the money by charging higher premiums. yesterday the president signed an executive order to make cheaper healthcare plans affordable to more americans, available to more americans. critics say it would offer less coverage which could lead to higher costs for older and sicker people. back to john roberts at the white house, more details on this. the president tried to do this legislatively and snookered twice by congress and decided to do it piece by piece by executive order. the president tweeting out, obamacare is a broken mess. piece by piece we'll begin the process of giving america the great healthcare it deserves. obamacare is impleasing. massive payments to the pet insurance companies will stop. dems should call me to fix. a lot of people have said they

won't call to fix it, they'll vilify him for doing this. josh stein, the attorney general of north carolina sent out a twice, i'm suing president trump for his unlawful and reckless decision to stop payments that help one-half million carolynians afford healthcare insurance. the president insists the subsidy was lining the pockets of the insurance companies. i asked him about that on the way out to the helicopter just a little while ago. listen here. >> president trump: what it's going to do is going to be time to negotiate healthcare that's going to be good for everybody. that money is a you be si di for insurance -- is a subsidy for insurance companies. look at the stocks, going through the roof. from the past. i don't know about today. but the insurance companies made a fortune. that money was a subsidy and almost you could say a payoff to insurance companies. and what we have to do is come up with great healthcare. >> i asked the president if doing this and then the

executive order which would allow small businesses to ban together in association health plans, buy health insurance across state lines was just a tactic to bring democrats, put pressure on them and bring them to the negotiating table. he said it wasn't a tactic as such. but if that's the net effect he thinks it's good. >> shepard: president trump became the first sitting president to speak to the values voters summit. that organization vilifies the lgbt community and declares gay tobs a danger to children. the southern important ty law center designated it a hate group. what happened tr and why did he attend? >> it seems to be a pretty appreciative crowd in terms of the reaction for president trump. he was the first, as a candidate he attended the val ohs voters summit last year. values voters summit. first sitting tonight do it. it's only been around since 2006. george bush never attended, you wouldn't expect barack obama would. president trump did. he said that he was jumping right into the culture war saying he was going to stop cold

the attacks of judeo-christian values and. this is a group of people that supported him despite the early attacks on his moral character. he wanted to recognize their support for him and the election campaign. that's where he was today. he said can i skip it next year. not sure why he asked that question. but was told no you can't skip it, you have to be there. we'll see. >> shepard: john roberts on the north lawn, thank you. back to the iran nuclear deal. the european foreign poll sill chief says it will remain in place regardless of the president's condition. she said a group of nations signed off on it. while the president has many powers ilg this deal isn't one of them. >> it is not a bilateral groo ement. it does not -- agreement. it does not belong to any single country. it is not up to any single country to terminate it.

>> shepard: he says the international community will guarantee the iranians stick to the agreement. but this afternoon, israel which was not a party to the deal came out in support of president trump's move. and the israeli prime minister asking other countries to follow the president's lead. we're live at the state department. rich, leaders from the other countries involved stay they want the united states towns stay it in. >> shep, the european allies released a statement, the governments and heads of state of germany, united kingdom, and france have said they are concerned. this statement just coming up, rare joint statement, quote, we stand committed to the jcpoa, iran nuclear deal, and full imtimenttation by all sides. preserving it is in our shared atsecurity interests. our governments are committed to ensuring the jcpoa is maintained and interest interest of the jcpoa we need to make sure our wider concerns are addressed. the secretary of state acknowledges that there's

probably not going to be a renegotiation of the iran nuclear deal. what he's looking at is what's discussed as a companion deal that would address the concerns that the u.s. would enter negotiations with its partners on in a. we also have reaction from the other countries in the iran nuclear deal, chien and russia, both saying that it's working, that iran is adhering to its side of the deal and all countries should stay in. russia released a statement saying they regret the u.s. decision, both say they hope it is a domestic issue and that the u.s. internationally will stay in the deal. >> shepard: middle east allies are happy with the president's decision? >> the middle east eye lies, saudi arabia, say they applaud the decision. they welcome the support announced by donald trump towards iran and aggressive approach, praising his vision in this regard and commitment to work with u.s. allies in the region to face common challenges. particularly iran's aggressive

policies. saudi arabia has been calling for a while for stronger policies against iran. >> shepard: rich at the state department, thank you. more on the president's iran decision ahead. iel speak with the national security ed etor who says the president's move is mostly symbolic. and can actually help avoid global chaos. that's coming up from the fox newsdesk. glad to have you in. patrick woke up with back pain. but he has work to do. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong.

decision ahead. >> shepard: more on president trump's refusal to certify the

iran nuclear deal. he stopped short of withdrawing from the agreement and essentially punted to congress about whether to reimpose sanctions on iran. michael crawley, national security director and senior correspondent for politico. >> hi, shep. >> shepard: isn't the headline he didn't pull out and it remains what it was? >> i think you're right. a lot of tough talk. you could be for given if you half ligsenned and reading the tone and vibes come out of him. he hates the deal, iran is an evil malefactor. you could be for given thinking this is a speech about getting rid of the deal. he's handing to it congress. he's not going to push congress to take steps that would blow up the deal. lets him get the politics the way he wants them and the way

they want them. >> shepard: as a candidate he was glowing to rip it up. now the men say we have to have this deal. he can't be seen going back on the campaign pledge. he has a show today and kicks it to congress that will do nothing. today was all politics? >> classic politics. japanese have kubuki theater, acting that doesn't mean anything. it's all signalling and symbolism. nothing really changes. this was classic washington kubuki theater. with the possibility that congress will do something unexpected. conventional wisdom is congress will not take action. it is possible the dynamics could change. even people who hated the deal at the time it was signed argued

against the obama administration calling the deal. iran got things as soon as it was completed and the damage of undoing it now is too great. people who said don't do this two years ago are say gdoesn't make sense to blow it up. >> shepard: is that because there's not a better idea? >> exactly, we would be going it alone, the you are a pea lies are angry as the president's rhetoric, the fact that the president jeopardized the deal. bear in mind, iran got a bunch of benefits on the deal. as soon as it was agreed to, released a lot of tense of billions of dollars in frozen assets the iranians got their hands o you can't claw it back. it's been reported that jim mattis and others said to the president, we have one kind of brewing nuclear crisis with north korea and can't have another one on the plate while we deal with that one. >> shepard: we will get a new

news cycle in a few hours, then tweets tomorrow and will have a new news cycle and this fades away and congress doesn't act and it's nothing? >> quite possibly. it is possible congress will surprise us our that iran will lash out, they're angry about the smeech. high best bet is the scenario you described. >> shepard: he did not declare the revolutionary guard a terror group. that is something iran said would be an act of war, he didn't do it. >> he did stop short of it. again, another example, if you were going by the rhetoric, you might think he had. he's imposing new sanctions on them, designated certain sanctions on them that have to do with terrorism. different from formally listing them as what the state department calls a foreign terrorist organization. they have a list, al qaeda on it. not putting the iranian revolutionary guard corps, military stob establishment ta controls a large part of the economy.

focused where barack obama didn't. he talked about the reformers and moderates. people question whether they are true moderates. trump was rebranding them, reminding people this corrupt military establishment, they do terrorism, terrible things. did not follow through by listing them as a foreign terrorist organization. >> shepard: thank you, out of time, grate to see you. emotional and fiery news conference in las vegas. the sheriff furious over attacks in his department investigation into the deadly concert massacre. breaking down on camera as he remembered that horrible night. the news continues after this.

>> shepard: the cher nif las vegas broke down today. sheriff joseph lombardo that youing about visiting the officers who helped victims the night of the shooting. he struggled with it. >> samuel when it whitworth. excuse me for my emotions. samuel was laying on his couch with a very intensive wound to his leg. during the melee and his intent to evacuate victims, he sustained a broken leg. but he remains onscene and provided security for the medical personnel. >> shepard: the sheriff also defended investigators after some confusion about the time line of the shooting which killed 58 people so far and injured hundreds more. our chief kor smon dent jonathan hunt was there. >> the sheriff defending the investigators but changing,

again, the details of the time line in a very significant way. remember, previously he had said that the security guard who was shot had first encounters the gunman at 9:59. the gunman onlied fire on the crowd at 10:05 leaving that six-minute gap and leaving everyone wondering what on earth hotel security staff were doing in that six minutes. now, he's amended that, now he's standing by the 9:59 p.m. but saying that is when jose campos -- jesus campos, the security guard, first encounters the barricaded door on the 32nd floor. he had to work his way around to get past that barricaded door. that took him six minutes. then 10:05 is, indeed, when he was shot at by the gunman. and the gunman, within one minute, then opened fire on the crowd. that lines up with what the hotel security staff have always said. but the sheriff was very offended at any suggestion that

there was any conspiracy here. listen. >> there is no conspiracy between the fbi, between the lvpd and the mgm. nobody is attempting to hide anything. my attempt, like i stated earlier, is to give you information as i know it, unverified, to calm the public. not to establish a legal case. >> the sheriff also updated us on the numbers of victims, the number of dead remains at 58, shep, 546 wounded, 45 of those remain in the hospital, some of them are still critical. >> shepard: what else did the sheriff say about the investigation itself? >> well, two things particularly stuck out to me, shep. one, remember this talk of the fuel tanks that stephen paddock, the gunman, had apparently taken aim at. aviation fuel at nearby mccar ran airport. the sheriff confirming that he

did fire at those but he said having consulted experts there's a very low probability that gunfire would actually ever have ignited those fuel tanks. he also confirmed that an autopsy has been performed on stephen paddock. he said there were no visual abnormalities in the brain. but he said paddock's brain has been sent to another facility for further microscopic valuation. as for the investigation, shep, 2,000 leads have been covered, 1,000 pieces of evidence have been seized, hundreds of hours of video are still being poured through by investigators. it appears they are no closer to answering the big question why this happened. >> shepard: jonathan hunt on the vegas investigation, thank you. the country singer who wasser with forming when the vegas gunman opened fire held a concert for the first time since the attack. he sang in tulsa and talked about what that horrifying night was like.

>> i hope none of you ever experience anything like that. it's been a tough thing to deal with for us up here. one thing that's probably going to help us more than anything, is playing for you guys tonight. thank you all for coming out. [applause] >> shepard: jason aldeen in tulsa. he said he thinks about the shooting vipg times every day. he said the attackers want to scare us. but he refusions to live in fear. more ahead on president trump cutting off crucial subsidies in obamacare. we'll speak with a news editor from the "wall street journal" who said this is a high risk move for the president. he'll explain why and what it means to all of us, coming up.

including a 7-year-old boy. sheriff's deputies say they found the bodies in a trailer home wednesday and were chasing the suspect when he crashed his pickup truck in a ditch and disappeared into the woods. cops found him walking along a road after getting a tip. and the tornado touching down at an airport in oregon. folks say the plane's were chained down but the twister managed to break the chains and toss the aircraft. one pilot said he had to fly in circles until the storm passed ge low. no injuries reported. the famous key west tourism sign that went missing during hurricane irma turned up more than 100 miles away. ferry crew members say a mystery couple handed the sign over to them. unclear how they got it. we will be right back. news continues with shep after this. prudential asked these couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen?

it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? full-bodied. the u.s. needs to develop more renewable and clean energy resources because there are limits to the amount of fossil fuels that we can burn. since 1925, we have depended on diesel generators,

burning approximately a million gallons of diesel fuel a year. our mission is to make off-shore wind one of the principle new sources of energy. not every bank is willing to get involved in a "first of its kind" project. citi saw the promise of clean energy and they worked really closely with us, the wind farm will lower power prices. we're polluting the air less. businesses and homes can rely on a steady source of power. block island wind farm is a catalyst- - this will be the first of may off-shore wind farms in the u.s. >> shepard: attorneys general in at least a dozen states are promising to sue the trump administration over healthcare. that's after the president said

he would cut off the obamacare payment which helped lower income americans avoid i should say afford health insurance. the white house says lawmakers never signed off on the payments. and the attorney general, jeff sessions, tells fox news healthcare should be up to the congress not to the courts. >> it's time for congress to fix this bill. that's what needs to happen. congress has got to get together, republicans and the democrats have got to come onboard. these expenditures cannot go on without congress's support. >> shepard: lawmakers struggled to agree on anything when it comes to healthcare. judging from the reactions to the president's move today, it's no different. mike emmanuel, live capitol hill, what are the democrats saying? >> well, shep, house democratic leader nancy pelosi spoke to reporters and suggested this is just the latest attempt by republicans to destroy obamacare. >> the g.o.p. will try to blame the affordable care act but they have purposefully, brazenly,

cruelly and spitely acted to sabotage the law and healthcare it provides. it's a matter of life and death. >> earlier on a offense call, chuck schumer told reporters this will cause many americans to suffer. >> president's decision last night to end the cost sharing payments is going to be devastating for millions of americans. poor americans and those in the middle class. it's one of the worst things the president could do, sap taj our healthcare system. >> democrats are warning this will cause premiums to soar for many people. shep? >> shepard: republicans? well they're saying that this is corporate welfare and so it was justified in making this move. >> exactly the right thing on do. these are massive bailouts to insurance companies. the democrats move that. i mean, one of the interesting things, one of the interesting consequences of obamacare, the profits of insurance companies

have doubled. >> others note congress has the power of the purse and these payments were never authorized. >> we knew these were unconstitutional when you look at the way the affordable care act was written. but the administration did it anyway which they had a habit of taking that action, doing what they wanted to do. >> it is not clear if this will be the action forcing all involved to the negotiating table. >> shepard: let's turn to aaron vintner, from the wall street jurm, a company with which fox news shares common ownership. >> good to be with you. in con sense this is president trump doing what he was elected to do. the people who voted for him wanted to end obamacare and they voted for the president because they thought he would be a disruptive force who would change the way business is done in washington. the president couldn't get what he wanted from congress on obamacare hearing's taking two actions.

yesterday with the executive order on healthcare. and today saying he's going to suspend payments to the insurers. that are not like the iran speech today, not kubuki theater, these could have a real market impact. >> shepard: concerns that people, poor people and others may be left out in the cold, does he have that concern? >> well, certainly a lot of republicans do. not all republicans are agreeing with the president that this is an unequivocally a good move. they're concerned about the markets in their home states. senators like bob corker and lamar alexander of tennessee have been worried for a long time there aren't enough insuresers serving their home state. they worry moving precipitously in this way could cause insurers to pull out of the the state and leave fewer options. for people there. in addition, there's a trade-off here, shep. the president is saying with these actions, the executive

order, in particular, i'm going to bring more insurance options to people. more lower cost options. but not be comprehensive -- >> shannon: might not cover what's wrong with you. now it says if you buy insurance it has to cover you. it has to give you -- >> shepard: everything that you need for your illnesses. whether you had illness before or get it tomorrow you're covered. in the new world it won't be required to cover anything. can you pay for insurance that won't cover your sickness. >> yeah. critics of the president say are healthier people who aren't concerned about comprehensive coverage and don't want to buy expensive insurance will come out of the insurance pools that they're in now, buy this lower cost, less comprehensive insurance, and leave the sicker people and more expensive patients to kind of fend for themselves. that can only mean that costs will go up, there are fewer healthy people subsidizing the sicker people. >> shepard: the young and healthy people, some day if

they're lucky they will be old. then they will be stuck with this. it tends to be how things work. you know, if everybody pays in, then everybody gets coverage. that's sort of the basics of insurance. like car insurance, right? >> shep, you're speaking like a true democrat. in a sense. >> shepard: car insurance is political? >> this is a good issue, because it really shows the differences between two parties. in a very consider it talline way. republicans think markets can solve problems best. they think the market, insurers and consumers with minimal government insurance should be left along to decide how to get the best insurance to the most people at the best price. democrats say healthcare is not a normal market. it's not like the market for pencils or autopsy. you have -- or automobiles. you have to pay for sick people who are expensive. they think the government has to put requirements on insurers and put requirements on individuals.

markets should be free or government should intervene. that's the difference in philosophy. >> shepard: aaron, great to see you, thank you. >> nice to see you, shep. >> shepard: millions of americans get bigger social security checks next year. the feds announced a 2% cost of living increase, comes out to $25 a month for the average beneficiary. the government reports the change will affect 07 million americans, social security recipients, disabled veterans, and retirees. a woman whose brother died in the las vegas shooting and narrowly avoided it herself. forced to evacuate from her northern california home, as wildfires closed in on her community. her story ahead. we'll also check out the fire forecast, sadly no rain and lots more wind. high temperatures returning. we'll look at the projections and the fears as firefighters are on the front line working mighty hard. and we'll hear about the couple who survived the flames by

she says anybody who's been in a natural disaster can tell you that that goes on and on. in this picture you can see firefighters west of santa rosa taking a quick rest using rocks as pillows before heading back to work. california fire officials say thousands of fires are working around the clock. with more help pouring in from neighboring states on the other side of the room, lillian has details from around that region to see the before and after pictures, just incredible. >> this is neighborhood in santa rosa. you can see the homes and the after photos. it's gone. >> shepard: nothing, nothing left behind. >> another image, this is historical building in santa rosa. it was built by one of the county's first winery owners, back in 1891. and on monday night, this is that building, it was hoet totally destroyed. same with the local arby's, it's just gone. >> shepard: over and over and
