announcement on friday of over 4% growth. the president should be tweeting about that all next weekend and not some witch hunt. all right -- >> i am dana perino appeared here is jon scott in four >> i'm jon scott in for shepard smith. moments ago, sarah sanders announcing the white house is looking at revoking security clearances of high profile critics of the president. one of the headlines out of today's briefing. president trump and the iranian president exchanging threats as both leaders step up the war of words. the president threatened the iranian leader with his historic consequences after president rouhani said that american should know that war with iran is the mother of all wars. that came after secretary of state mike pompeo called iran's leaders hypocritical holy men accusing them of getting rich while their people suffer.

president trump with drew the iranian nuclear deal. the white house weighing in on the back and forth moments ago. >> the president has been pretty strong since day 1 in his language towards iran. he was responding to comments made from them. >> here's a live look at the white house. we expect to hear from president trump as he showcases american-made products. we'll go there live. first, kevin work who is live in the briefing room. we heard the first question there. sarah sanders talking about removing security clearances from former intel officials, kevin. >> yes. comey and clapper and brennan. interesting to hear her float this idea. she talked about the notion that the administration is merely investigating its options. it's clear to you and to me and all the american people that each of those gentlemen have had very public differences with the

president of the united states. here's what the white house is looking into. >> not only is the president looking to take away brennan's security clearance, he's also looking into the clearances of comey, clapper, hayden, rice and mccabe. the president is exploring the mechanisms to remove security clearance because they politicized and in some cases monetized their public services and security clearances making baseless accusations. the fact that people with security clearances are making these baseless charges provides inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence. >> so you heard her mention a couple of other names there, rise, mccabe and others. what is interesting here, jon, sarah sanders is talk about them

politicizing and monetizing on the political statements that are in opposition to the sitting president of the united states. >> a lot of people are surprised to know that you can still keep that access when you leave the office. what about the back and forth with iran? what is the latest? >> this is interesting, too. you and i talked about this a number of times. the president has been forceful in his opinion about the iranian leadership. the white house is in a coordinated effort where they're talking about supporting the iranian people and being very strong in their opposition to the iranian leadership. sarah sanders talked about it. the president forceful on twitter, which we've been talking about all day on fox news. let me share with you with what john bolton had to say. this is part of the coordinated effort by the administration. you have the tweet by the president, you have mike pompeo's speech and his statement and then this from john bolton.

he said this. i found it fascinating. he said "i spoke to the president the last several days and president trump told me that if iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid before." you may have heard john decker, a radio colleague here, mentioned that that was similar in tone to what the president had to say about the north korean leadership. of course that led to an eventual face-to-face. when asked if there might be a face to face in the offing for iran's leadership, the president secretary punches. jon? >> she weighed in on the russia investigation. kevin? >> yeah, this is -- i tell you what, given everything that we've learned, the judicial watch, we're learning a great deal. the american community is learning a great deal about what led up to the eventual mueller investigation. i tried to ask her about carter page and that fisa application, which has been alleged relied

heavily on the so-called steele dossier, which was as you remember, funded by the clinton campaign and the dnc. here's what sarah told me not long ago. >> the president wants -- has purposely remained uninvolved in this process. he said repeatedly that he wants the department of justice to be fully transparent. he will continue at this point to remain uninvolved. he sees more and more every day this is proving further and further to be a total witch hunt, particularly because it was based on a false and unverified and discredited dossier. >> jon, you may recall that devin nunes has been strong in his assertion that the president, that is, should take away all the redactions. it's littered with black ink when you print one out. they want to remove those

redactions so the person people at a minimum congressional leaders can get a look at what happened in that fisa application. interesting times here at the white house, jon. >> indeed, kevin corke there at the briefing room. thank you, kevin. adam joins us now. he's a former u.s. ambassador to be a 0 baharain. for those like clapper to keep their security clearance, is that going to ring alarm bells in washington? >> i think so. it will ring bells among a whole host of senior level civil servants and u.s. government officials. it's not just brennan. he talked about mccabe, comey. these are republicans as well as democrats. i think that we're going down a slippery slope.

who is to dewhat -- decide what is political ant what isn't? this is lashing out at the president's critics. it's part of your job to defend your position and say why you're right and they're wrong. going after them in this way or slanting the playing field seems to set a dangerous precedence. >> when a former cia director says the news conference that he held in helsinki with vladimir putin was treasonous or bordered on treason, that's strong stuff from a guy like jim brennan. and he was talking about a public press conference. he wasn't talking about any privileged information or access

to information that he had that other people didn't have. he's talking about what every american saw on television and voicing his opinion. why should that encourage retaliation from the president of the united states? >> speaking of retaliation, the president seems to be threatening iran right now in an all caps tweet. he went after the mullas there. what do you think is happening there? >> it shows heightening tension between iran and the rest of the world. look, let's remember, iran has been identified by this administration as one of the top foreign policy priorities. they have a history of developing nuclear weapons, developing ballistic missiles to deliver them and to undermining our allies in the area. the administration is serious about pushing back against them. they've withdraw from the jcpoa. they have announced tough sanctions which will take place

in november and prevent iran from getting revenue from oil sales. the secretary of state said the united states supported the iranian people in their quest for justice against the mullah. so what we're seeing from iran is basically feeling the pressure. rouhani, the president, threatened to close the straits of hormuz. 20% of the world's oil supply goes through there. the fact that trump responded that they better be careful if they threatened the united states and international commerce is a threat to be taken seriously and fully warranted. >> could they close the straits? that would bring almost immediate military activity from countries like the u.s., would it not? >> yeah, absolutely would. like we all know, the fifth fleet is based in bahrain and is in the persian gulf for the precise purpose of keeping open these straits. what we're seeing is increasing

desperation on the part of the regime and tehran, which faces unprecedented public protests and public dissatisfaction with the clerical rule. the iranian currency has lost more than -- almost 100% of its vol. it's gone from 30,000 to the dollar to 90,000 of the dollar the last year or so. so they're in trouble. they're trying to bluster their way out of a dead end. trump and the u.s. administration are making it clear to them there's no way out other than accepting our terms. now, they can cause problems. they've done it in the past and they're capable of doing it again. >> thanks very much, adam. >> thank you. >> so iran responding to the tweet within hours. state control media calling it a passive reaction to the comments from iran's president. greg palkot is following reaction from world leaders in

london. greg? >> hi, jon. in iran, there was mixed reaction. some dismissive, some strong against the comments coming from president trump. iranian president rouhani's defense minister saying that the u.s. doesn't understand any other language than force. the head of the revolutionary guards in iran branding the comment psychological warfare and saying the u.s. wouldn't dare take action against iran. so still another i ran-based analyst called the words the storm before the calm and the words that the president talked tough with north korea before going the diplomatic route. mixed reaction globally about how to deal with iran, a german government official saying that country supports dialogue, talks and rhetorical disarmorment. the approach gets approval from

netanyahu. no one is on the fence on this one, john. >> thanks, greg. some lawmakers from both parties are calling for tougher action on russia. our chief congressional correspondent has the latest from capitol hill on that. first, a live look at the white house where we're waiting for president trump to speak any minute now. you'll see it here live coming up. tion. and practice... lots of practice. get them started right with carnation breakfast essentials. it has protein plus vitamins and minerals to help kids be their best. carnation breakfast essentials. i'm a fighter. always have been. when i found out i had

age-related macular degeneration, amd, i wanted to fight back. my doctor and i came up with a plan. it includes preservision. only preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd. that's why i fight. because it's my vision. preservision. also, in a great-tasting chewable.

>> jon: lawmakers from both parties say it's time to get tougher on russia to defend our democracy. mike emanuel live on capitol hill with that. mike? >> jon, good afternoon. some leading republicans in the senate are calling for the need to enact tougher sanctions as a warning shot to moscow. >> the most important thing we need to focus now is deterring future attacks by putting in place immediate sanctions. >> in new jersey, bob menendez is calling on president trump to get personally tough with vladimir putin. >> i would have liked for him to have said, look, president putin, we know that you interfered in our 2016 elections and you're doing it now. that's not a question. that is a statement. here's consequences. >> so members of both parties concerned about upcoming elections in this country in less than four months and they

want the russian president to think twice before he thinks about meddling in those elections as well, john. >> jon: what are some of the key take-aways that lawmakers see out of the helsinki summit? >> a key house republican says when the leaders of two nuclear super powers sit down and talk, that's a good thing. >> as a diplomat, i'm a believer in dialogue. we dialogue in russia through the cold war. one thing that came out of helsinki is the president and mike pompeo that have resurrected an architecture that will continue dialogue that might lead to some opportunities. >> a leading house democrat, a critic of this president, said president putin won the day. >> the talks in helsinki were productive but productive for vladimir putin. the reality is we have no idea what this president, our president, agreed to. that's an asymmetric advantage for the president.

they do. the kremlin intelligence agents know what took place in that meeting. >> that reaction is why president trump is eager to host a trump putin summit 2.0 in washington on his home turf. jon? >> jon: thanks, mike. we're waiting to hear more from president trump. we will bring that to you live when it begins. first, we're learning there's more tapes by trump's former attorney, michael cohen. now we know exactly how many. that's next. people would stare. psoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last.

don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. never give up. see me. see me. clear skin can last. don't hold back... ...ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts. booking a flight doesn't have to be expensive. just go to priceline. it's the best place to book a flight a few days before my trip and still save up to 40%. just tap and go... for the best savings on flights, go to priceline.

are you ready to take your then you need xfinity xfi.? a more powerful way to stay connected. it gives you super fast speeds for all your devices, provides the most wifi coverage for your home, and lets you control your network with the xfi app. it's the ultimate wifi experience. xfinity xfi, simple, easy, awesome. >> jon: breaking news. fox news has learned that the feds have 12 recordings seized from the president's former lawyer and fixer, mike cohen. last week we found out that the fbi has a tape of cohen talking

to trump about a pay-off. now we're finding out there's more. let's bring in jeffery cramer a former federal prosecutor and u.s. assistant attorney. jeffery, the fact that there's 12 recordings, sounds ominous but we don't know what is in them. until we do, it's meaningless, isn't it? >> you're right. does sounds ominous. but 12 is a lot. if even a small portion are what it could be with respect to payments to women, it could prove to be a problem for mr. cohen if he violated campaign election finances as well as possibly some of the people in the trump campaign at that point. >> jon: this is something that cohen was doing to try to ensure -- for an insurance policy for the future? >> seems like that's exactly what it was. it's highly unusual for any attorney to tape their client,

certainly donald trump. but it's an insurance policy. now he has something that the government may want, that he can add some color to. it's important to keep in mind that this could just be campaign election finance. it's not a huge deal in itself. the issues could come at the other threats that government could -- law enforcement could pull. we saw that with the manafort case. you don't know where it's going to lead. >> the idea that some former playboy model wants money from the guy running for president, there's no surprise in that, is it? >> no. that's hardly shocking. the problem is money was paid to one or two of these women in order to keep it quiet before the election, that could be seen as an illegal campaign contribution. >> jon: really? even if it's just money that makes a problem go away? you know, a lot of candidates spend money to keep stuff out of the headlines, don't they? >> absolutely.

we saw this with other elected officials. if the money is being used to keep it perhaps from you're wife, you didn't want your wife to know that seems to make sense. if it's kept so it's information that the electorate does not know, in and of itself it's fine but you need to list that as a campaign contribution. they obviously didn't do that and mr. cohen seemed to have gone through several maccinations to keep it hidden before the election. that's the problem. >> jon: over the weekend, we saw some of the released information redacted heavily that led to the fisa court warrants. the president said it vindicates him. does it? >> it doesn't. that's a confusing statement. the argument is at least from the white house that it's clear that the dossier, the steele dossier, was the basis for the affidavit. that is an accurate statement.

the part that isn't accurate is the court was deceived. they don't know that that dossier was paid for by opponents of donald trump. the court did know that. as a matter of fact, if you look at what was revealed, not the redacted portions but what's there, about a page of foot notes that deals with the potential bias of the steele dossier. so the court was aware of it. even though they were aware of that, they authorized the warrant. that's the important point. >> jon: but if the steele dossier is largely a fabrication, doesn't that threaten the very subject of this whole fisa business? >> if it was the only point, yes, that's a fair comment. however, with what we see in the affidavit, which is 412 payments when it's said and done, there were several data point that law enforcement have that were sufficient in after of themselves for this warrant. they included what was in the dossier but they made sure the court knew there was bias with the dossier.

bias is fine. bias doesn't mean the information given isn't true as long as the court is aware of the bias. but there were four or five other strong points that they had going in. it's important to remember or to know that getting a warrant, any sort of wiretap, certainly in a fisa court, is not easy. there's many layers that have to be done in a prosecutorial office. here, the deputy attorney general, a trump appointee approved it. four judges, all republican judges approved it. so the warrant is on firm grounds. whether or not it reveals anything about mr. page being an agent for the russias, we don't know that yet. >> jon: it depends on how accurate the information was that those judges saw. jeffery cramer, thank you. former prosecutor. >> certainly. >> jon: breaking news. a live look outside the courthouse in alexandria, virginia outside d.c. former trump campaign chair paul

manafort is getting more time to prepare for his trial on bank and tax fraud charges. it was set to start this week. chief intelligence corr responsible dents, catherine herridge is live in washington with more on the delay. catherine? >> manafort's legal team asked for more time to go through thousands of records, documents related to the case. the judge in this prosecution in virginia has granted them until july 31. so he's given about a week of wiggle room. this -- the virginia court is known as the rocket docket. they have a reputation for moving quickly. it's not surprising he's granted an extra bit of team but only a week, john. >> jon: catherine, thank you. back to you in a moment. the president speaking in the white house. a manufacturing event. let's listen in. >> we can't go the other way. this is the way it's going to go. make our farmers great again. i had them made up.

that's the way i feel. i want to thank you. welcome everybody to the white house for the second annual made in america showcase. made in america, made in the u.s. what to you like better? made in the u.s.a.? made in america? both pretty good. [applause] i remember when i was growing up, i'd see made in america all over the place. made in america. everything had made in america. we're starting that again. it's happening again as you know. we're here today to celebrate the greatest products in the world. products made with american heart, american sweat and american pride. we're thrilled to showcase incredible american-made goods from all 50 states. we have snowboards from colorado. where is a snowboard person? nice snowboards. [applause]

ten years ago i was per effect. now i don't know. cowboy boots from texas. where is cowboy boots? i like those boots. [applause] baseball bats from pennsylvania. i used to play baseball. boats, cars. space ship. you know about the space ship. in case you haven't noticed, there's an f-35 stealth fighter on the south lane. it had help getting here. it's special. can't see it. where is lockheed? maryland. [applause] it's incredible. i said how do you compare this with a certain other plain from the enemy? they said the difference is when we fight, they can't see our plane. i said that sounds like a big advantage. it's called stealth. super stealth.

all of these products are something special. very much in common. a big beautiful seal. that's with the sign, in this case, "made in the u.s.a." also joining us today and at the event is nasa administrator, jim brightenstein. where is jim? thank you. [applause] and marilyn thanks for being here from lockheed-martin. after many years of decline, american manufacturing is coming back bigger and better and stronger than before. it's happening. we're in the midst of a great economic revival in the ed. we have added 370,000 manufacturing jobs alone. remember during the campaign, they said you'll never add manufacturing jobs. that's obsolete. said i t's obsolete.

they were wrong. almost a million workers discouraged by the policies of the previous administration and frankly other administrations have now returned to the work force. new unemployment claims are at the lowest level in almost half a tcentury. think of that. that's a big one. [applause] . unemployment rates for americans, for african americans, hispanics and asians, americans, all of us, lowest ever. these are the lowest levels for african americans, hispanics and asians ever recorded. think of that. ever recorded. and women, unemployment recently reached the 65-year low. we think that is probably the lowest ever. as i've said in two weeks or three weeks, it will be.

the lowest in history. pretty bad when you say lowest in 65 years. i said that's not as good as history. so -- but shortly it will be. we'll be saying history. manufacturing wages are expected to rise at the fastest rate in more than 17 years. 95% of american manufacturers, which i love, that's what we live, manufacturers, are optimistic about the future. that's the highest level ever recorded. 95%. we have achieved together in the last 18 months something that is totally unprecedented. for decades the united states allowed other countries to steal our jobs, close our factories and plunder our wealth. what was happening was horrible. i used to talk about it for 20 years in the private sector. i said how do they let this happen? little did i know i kept my shot. that's what happened. that's what is happening to us. because it's really been

positive. our leaders in washington did nothing. they did nothing. they let our factories lead, let our people lose their jobs, give to other jobs, workers in far away lands. that's not free trade. that's fool's trade. stupid trade. we don't do that kind of trade anymore. the european union has been very tough on the united states but they're coming to see me wednesday. we'll see if we can work something out. otherwise, we have to do something with respect to the millions of cars that they send in every year. maybe we can work something out. they're coming in, the top people. we're talking to china who had a $375 billion trade surplus last year with the united states. i think 375 billion. looking at it differently, we had a $375 billion trade deficit. that's not good.

we're talking to china very seriously. we're talking to mexico on nafta. i think we're going to have something worked out. the new president, terrific person. i spoke to him at length on a call. did a great job. got a tremendous vote. they have a lot of confidence in him in mexico. that's good. we're talking to them about doing something dramatic, very positive for both countries. we're demanding fairness with the world trade organization. it's been a disaster for the united states. we want fairness. we lose court cases. we always had a minority of judges. they gave us fewer judges than other countries had. we would lose cases. nobody knew why. i said i know why. you don't have judges from this country. 3-2 with three being on the other side. we've started to do much better lately in winning cases.

never waves the white flag. we only wave the red, white and blue flag. the era of economic surrender for the united states is over. you people have been really leading the charge. america's fighting back and we're winning again. you know my story about winning, we're going to win so much, you'll get tired of winning. i don't think you'll get tired. throughout our history, our greatest leaders, washington, jefferson, lincoln, mckinley. people don't know much about mckinley. take a look. it was an incredible economic time for our country. people wanted to come in and take from our country. they had to pay for it. they had to pay for the privilege of taking from our country. we all understood that to be strong and every one of them our nation, that we really had to be a manufacturing nation, you have to be able to be a manufacturing

nation. i'm very proud to say that our steel industry is coming back at a level that nobody thought possible. factories are opening up all over. no matter where i go, they see we're opening a steel plant for 5, 10, 20 years. u.s. steel is opening six plants and they're expanding in other plants. we're very proud of that. we were being dumped on. they were dumping all over this country. now our steel industry is coming back. you need a steel industry. it's not like a normal thing where you make some of your products, which i love, but it's not steel. we need steel. we need it in case of an emergency of the wrong kind. my administration is reclaiming our proud manufacturing heritage. because we're finally putting,

again, america first. we're tearing down barriers to our exports, protecting our intellectual property and defending our companies from unfair foreign trade practices of which there's many. we're putting trade cheaters on notice. nobody rips off the united states of america anymore. it's happening too much for too long. we're stopping. to give you a level playing field, we've cut record numbers of regulations. in the history of our country, nobody has cut more regulations than me. i've always been here less than two years. so i'm talking about two years, four years, 16 years, eight years. doesn't matter how long they're here. we've cut more regulations than any other president. we've just been here for shorter than two years. we passed the biggest tax cut and reform in american history. we've gotten rid of the

individual mandate from healthcare, which was a disaster for you and your businesses. people had to pay for the privilege of not having to pay to get bad healthcare. sounds complicated, but it's actually pretty basic. you pay for not having to buy. a lot of people wonders about that one. it's gone. it's a big thing. that was the most unpopular element of obamacare. obamacare is very rapidly fading away. we had it done but we missed it by one vote. somebody changed their mind in the middle of the evening. wonder who that was. one of those things. we're very far progressed. we're now opening healthcare policies and making it possible for people to buy great healthcare at a low cost. we're very proud of that. it's open to secretary labor. he's done an incredible job.

secretary azar is in the process of doing something big. all of you people will be big beneficiaries of that in the business world also. since our tax cuts were passed, more than six million americans have received a bonus or a pay raise. in some cases, a very substantial bonus. they're really liking it. creating over $7 trillion of worth to our country. we're the largest economy in the world. >> jon: the president there saying the era of economic surrender for the united states is over, this is a manufacturing event. his second since he's been president at the white house. the white house lawn is decorated, if you will, with made in america products including a never summer snowed board from my home state of colorado and things like an f-35 stealth fighter. also a space capsule out there

on the line of the white house. one item from each manufacturer in each of the 50 states. the president there touting the steel industry is coming back and saying african american and hispanic unemployment in this country is at historic levels. let's get back to that report from our chief intelligence correspondent, catherine herridge. she's live with news that the powell manafort trial has been delayed and also, catherine, wanted your take on the white house talking about taking away security clearances from some former officials. >> okay. for some context, many people leave the government with clearances if they leave under good circumstances like they resigned or a political appointee, they're replaced and they use that clearance to help with their consultant work after they leave. so losing your clearance dings your ability to earn money after you left the government. by example, lisa page and agent

peter strzok left the fbi or forced out of the fbi, they lost their clearances as well, which had to be restored in order for them to give the depositions in the closed session to the two house committees. the other thing i'd say, we're in unchartered territory. in the 17 years that i've covered the intelligence community here in washington, i've never seen a group of former intelligence officials be so public, so open in their political views after they have left office. typically people go quietly into the night to retirement or to do consultants work. maybe it's the impact of social media or the lure of working as tv pundits, if you will, specialists in this area. i haven't seen a group as so outspoken and public about their political views as we have during the last couple years. many things, as you know, have been unprecedented since this president took office, jon.

>> jon: let's talk about the names here. john brennan, the former director of the cia. james comey, the former fbi director. clapper, the former director of national intelligence. james clapper. susan rice, president obama's national security adviser for a time. there's a couple of others on the list as well. is it possible -- is it possible to characterize this as anything other than, you know, kind of a brush-back by the white house or is there more than revenge at work here? >> well, i don't think it's any position to speculate on whether it was appropriate or whether it amounted to retaliation. but what i can tell you in a factual way is that i cannot remember a time when former senior intelligence officials have been so open in public about their political views that relate to ongoing investigations. in this case, the russia case. the group that was mentioned by sarah sanders at the podium, the

one that is kind of not like the others or doesn't fit is susan rice. susan rice has not really been leaning forward in the same way the others have in terms of television appearances or the messages in which she's communicated her political views on developments on twitter. it's important to note that it was after helsinki that the former cia director, john brennan, very publicly said this was treasonous behavior or close to his words. he repeated the same claims on television. so there was no mystery as to where he stood on that news conference. the president's decision making. >> jon: that said, susan rice was heavily uninvolved in the unmasking of names that is part of this fisa warrant thing that is so bubbling to washington right now. >> she was. she has argued in testimony on the hill that this was part of her job and she had deep concern about some of these russian contacts or associated contacts

leading up to the campaign. her personal feelings on that shells not broadcast on twitter, not to my knowledge, john. >> jon: thanks, catherine. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> jon: back to president trump's tough talk on iran. president moments ago asked if he is concerned about provoking tensions with that country. his response next.

president trump gave a tour on the front lawn, he asked about concern with tensions with iran. he said not at all. he's not concerned with the escalating tensions what do i mean? you have the president of iran on sunday, yesterday, putting out a speech stating that, if anything, iran is the mother of all peace and war with iran is the mother of all wars. so you had president trump that responded to that in a tweet in all capitol letters which we understand to be yelling in the i don't know line record. trump tweeted exactly that "never ever threaten the united states again or you will suffer consequences, the like of which few throughout history have suffered before. we're no long area country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death. be cautious." his tweet, further reinforced by mike pompeo that spoke yesterday at an event in washington. mike pompeo said that if anything iran is run by the

mafia and there's corruption within the economy there. then this morning you had comments from bolton, the national security adviser. he said that iran or any country that essentially reacts negatively to the united states will pay a price. those words are reflected with sarah sanders, press secretary. she also said the tensions have escalated but they're still trying to mitigate it. before you threw to me, you talked about whether iran and the united states will ever have a chance to meet. about a month ago, the president said he's still waiting for a phone call from iran to make a deal. iran media says they're not looking to meet the united states. >> jon: and the iranian response to the president has been to sort of poo-poo and maybe belittle what he's had to say. >> exactly. they have their state media. they perhaps said this is no big

deal. we're going about our business. if you speak to iranian people and this is being covered by the international press, they're worried. the economy is being hit. the united states that pulled out of the iran nuclear deal. the united states put forward or proposed several economic sanctions, this is hurting the iranian economy. and then so you have iran that is retaliating saying that we will close off the strait of hormuz if you decide to play war with us. why that certain area? a lot of oil passes through that canal. if they cut it off, that could deplete a lot of the supply of oil around the globe. just because of these talks, you've seen the price of oil climb very high over the little while. so it's had a ripple effect across the globe when it comes to the price of oil. when enthe price of oil is higher, it's more expensive for companies, a lot of back and forth between both countries and still no conclusion as to whether they talk about the

deal, talk about improving the economic situation. tweets for the moment. >> kristina partsinevelos. thanks, kristina. thank you. >> jon: so coming up, we'll examine what appears to be threats from the white house to revoke the security clearances of former officials primarily from the obama administration. we'll talk about it with a former bush white house personnel member after this.

>> jon: all right. right after this show, you can catch me on facebook watch for a fox news update. i want to tell you about the situation that we just heard from sarah sanders, the press secretary, who says the white

house is considering revoking the security clearances of several members of the obama administration and others, including former cia director john brennan as well as james clapper. let's talk about i with teresa peyton. she was the white house chief information officer under george w. bush, now a ceo of fordless business solutions. teresa, the idea that the white house would revoke those security clearances, how does that strike you? >> it's one of those things that obviously if you're not still working on a classified program you get read off. but these particular individuals, they've been on the front lines of the global cyber war. they speak from experience. i don't think we can afford to

lose their knowledge. so we need to make sure we're able to keep their institutional knowledge, the fact that they know who to call, they know from experience the mistakes that things went wrong or right and how to handle the situations. >> jon: sure, you think it's a bad idea to revoke their clearances? >> yeah. we have to look at their knowledge what they have to offer, keep their clearances in tact and tap on them on a need-to-know basis. >> jon: the idea they've been criticizing the president or the white house, using some of the information that they may have developed from their clearances as a result of their clearances that doesn't sit too well with president trump. >> and i can understand him feeling that way. oftentimes sometimes the best cyber security policy and counter measures we have come up with in this country were based on having healthy levels of

disagreement about how to go about executing actions and counter measures based on the intelligence gathered. so even if there's disagreement and an agreement to disagree, we should be hearing all different points of view and considering those. so i can see where he would feel like criticizing his policies not helpful, but we continue to have a dialogue about why do they feel the way they do and turn their intellect and their experiences into the action plans of the counter measures that this country needs. >> jon: thanks, teresa from fordless solutions formerly with the bush white house. thank you. >> thanks for having me on. >> jon: you're welcome. that's going to do it nor today. i'm jon scott in for shepard smith. we'll continue to keep an eye on this threat, if you will, from the white house to revoke the security clearances of those six people whose name and faces you just saw on the screen.

many of them worked in the obama white house, some in the bush white house.
