friend will get a free v.i.p. tour of the george bush library. thanks for joining us. i'll be on "the five" with my co hosts. i'm dana. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in washington where president trump tweeted tariffs are the greatest but he's now spending billions of taxpayer dollars to ease some of the pain of those greatest tariffs. we're live at the white house. a new setback for hundreds of immigrant families separated at the border days before the deadline to reunite all kids and parents. we're live in texas. and a republican congressman taking a historic stand to try to save the planet. he says it's time for a carbon tax. the republican representative of florida's 26th district joins us live. let's get to it.

the white house says president trump is threatening to remove the security clearances of six former federal officials who have spoken out against his refusal to take on vladimir putin about russian meddling. >> i think he's trolling people. >> shepard: analysts say this is a white house attempt to distract from unanswered questions about what happened in the closed-door meeting with putin in helsinki. unless the president acts, there's no more news here. fox's top story this hour. the migrant crisis on the southern border. hundreds of immigrant parents separated from their children at the border are not in this country anymore. breaking today, the feds revealing in court documents they may have deported more than

450 men and women without their children. 463, to be exact, out of the country without their kids. government lawyers say the cases are under review. at issue, did the parents have the legal representation to know how to get their kids back? attorneys for the american civil liberties union say no. they point out the parents are desperate need of legal help. they say many of them signed deportation forms but didn't understand that they would be stranding their own children. this is a crisis of the administration's own making. the families were separated due to a policy that it enacted not due to any law already on the books. the trump administration has until thursday to meet a federal judge's deadline to reunite all the children and parents that they separated. casey stegall has more. >> yeah, shepard, the numbers could be higher of people no longer in the united states with children who are still in u.s.

custody. we're talking closer to 600 when you actually look at the paperwork and the stats how it is all divided out. we want to show that to you. out of the 463 no longer in the united states, which the federal government notes is under review, it also shows, shepard, 130 parents waived reunification. meaning signed paperwork acknowledging they were being deported and leaving their child. the court filing shows 64 are in ineligible because of things like a criminal record and then another 260 cases require what is described as further evaluation. frankly what that evaluation is exactly and how were people removed from this country before their children all questions that lawyers from the government will have to answer very soon. shepard, a federal court hearing

scheduled to get underway in the next few hours addressing this issue in california. >> shepard: new development today about immediate deportations. >> yeah, this could all be up in the air. the federal judge out in california just a few days ago actually praised the u.s. government saying that it appeared they were going to be on track to meet thursday's deadline and now with this new information coming out in this filing, it could be up in the air. an additional filing coming in at this late hour, shepard. the trump administration now moving for immediate deportation of some of these reunified families. in other words, once the reunions happen, go ahead and deport the family unit and the administration and the court paperwork is citing space issues for the reasoning behind that. however, the government says that they are on track in terms of reuniting the majority of

kids, they say, 870 some odd reunions have been carried out. another 530 are going to be happening any time. then another 200 have already been released into the united states by ice as they await their future court dates. again, as you know, shepard, a very fluid story and a lot of judicial action, injunctions being filed at the last minute by both sides trying to get in sort odd it. >> shepard: a reminder, the government tells us many of those here are requesting asylum. that is not illegal. requesting asylum is part of the american way. the tariffs are the greatest. that's a statement from the president today. some lawmakers in his own party are blasting what they call a bail-out for some americans hurt by the same tariffs. an administration announced a short term plan to give farmers billions of dollars in aid after

they took a big hit from retaliatory tariffs. ben sasse has released a statement that reads in part "this trade war is cutting the legs out from farmers and the white house's plan is to spend $12 billion on gold crutches. this administration's tariffs and bailouts won't make america great again. they're going to make it 1929 again." the house speaker paul ryan says he's made it clear he does not believe tariffs are the right answer. the president is standing by his import taxes. >> you have to see the trade deals i'm working on. they're a disaster. the farmers will be the biggest beneficiary. watch. we're opening up markets. you watch what's going to happen. patient. >> shepard: so far they're not beneficiaries. the united states trade representative office holding a hearing today with representatives from companies that could also take a hit from the tariffs. let's bring in ken thomas, white

house reporter from the associated press. what is the goal here? >> the president is trying to buy some time essentially. he's trying to help farmers, especially soy bean producers that have been hit hard by the tariffs by china in response to the trump tariffs and he's trying to help them get through the next few months to try to give him more time to negotiate deals with china and the european union and with canada. so this is something aimed at providing direct payments to farmers, buying up excess crops, trying to create trade markets. as you say, a lot of republicans will say this is nothing but a government bail-out. >> shepard: and when he says the tariffs are the greatest, what is the white house saying to explain what he means by that? >> the president, and i believe

the white house, have felt like tariffs are a very good negotiating tool. he's felt that since he's slapped these tariffs on some of the u.s. trading partners, that has actually gotten these countries to the negotiating table. tomorrow we're going to have a european commission members coming to the white house talking about not only their dispute over steel and aluminum tariffs, which the president broug broug brought forth but also imports from europe. that could cover bmws and mercedes and volkswagens that are built over there and brought into the country that is something that could really affect this country. there's a lot of people that would feel it in the pocket books when they look to buy a new car. >> shepard: free trade is a conservative principle. what are conservatives saying in

response? >> they're not happy. they feel like tariffs are essentially taxes on american consumers. they would like to see the president back away from this aggressive use of tariffs. that said, they do want to see better trade terms. so the president would argue, look, i need more time. i'm getting these countries to come to the table and negotiate and soon they'll cry uncle. the question is at what cost. in six months from now, are we going to see american consumers cutting back their spending, could this affect the economy? we just don't know. this is an open-ended process and we have the multiple fronts in europe, mexico and canada and with china. it's hard to predict where this tariff fight, this trade fight is going to go. >> shepard: some of our viewers may go to the market and recognize that some of the crops or products from some of the crops grown in, let's say, trump

states, have gone down in price. which may seem great. but there's a farmer out there or manufacturer out there or somebody out there that is getting a lot less money for his or her products. they're the ones that are voting in those all-important states, like iowa. >> absolutely. the chinese have been very strategic in how they have constructed these retaliatory tariffs. they put it on soy beans and pork. that's aimed at hurting the trump base. a lot of these products are produced in the midwest state that went with the president in 2016 and hoping to exact as much pain as possible so that maybe that will affect the president's mindset. we'll have to see how it goes. >> shepard: ken thomas, thank you. >> thanks, shep. >> shepard: two nights ago, president trump tweeted in all caps a threat to the leader of iran. today he's striking a somewhat different tone. the mixed signals, the back and forth between the iranians and

the american leader. what it all could mean for the middle east. that's coming up from the fox news deck on this tuesday afternoon. hey there people eligible for medicare.

rebels. the israeli military claims that a syrian jet flew about a mile in israeli airspace. syrian state media insists the pilot was over syria the whole time. russia and iran are supporter bashar al-assad who used chemical weapons on his own people while american forces have been assists the rebels. now a back and forth between iran and president trump. it started with the iran leader's warning that war with iran would be the mother of all wars. a common refrain. president trump fired back in all caps on twitter, never ever threaten the united states again. the iranian foreign minister said color us unimpressed. iranians have heard more bluster for more than 40 years. we've been around for millennia and seen fall of empires, including our own, which lasted more than the life of some

countries. be cautious. now the iranian regime is threatening counter measures in the united states tries to block their oil exports. let's go to michael o'hanlon from the brookings institute. hi, michael. >> nice to be with you, shepard. >> shepard: aside from the rhetoric is there anything here? >> i don't know. you mentioned the word "counter measures." that's a benign word. i hope what we're seeing is a deescalation of the rhetoric. the real deal is the economic sanctions and the trump administration. that will kick in two weeks. that's where we're hoping to put the pressure on iran primarily, this is probably not going to be a military confrontation. hard to see that is in either side's interest. i welcome the des escalation of the last one or two exchanges but i get nervous when you hear

the bluster and the brinkmanship. i don't expect to it result in anything. it's unsettling. >> shepard: we're alone outside the iran agreement now. can sanctions from the united states not supported by others in the agreement, can they have an effect? >> yes, they can. we're trying to force countries to choose between doing business with us and doing business with iran. so the extent of these sanctions on the u.s. side has a far broader scope than you would anticipate by looking at the trade statistics themselves. so for example, the international banking system or companies in europe, we're trying to say to them, listen, you know, if you do business with iran, you'll be shut out of the american market. that's the sort of leverage. i don't know how this plays out over months and years but i'm confident the pain will be considerable and the economic projections for the iranian gdp

growth are turning negative. it will hit them hard in the short term. >> shepard: i read their money is dropping in value against other currencies. secretary pompeo and president trump are applying a lot of pressure. >> this is one of those debates of a republican and democratic divide whether we should have accepted that iran deal under president obama in the first place or should have withdrawn. there's good arguments on both sides. so on this particular question, even if i might have been on the other side, i understand where president trump is coming from and i think that there is a chance that reimposing this pressure could lead to a better deal. iran kept upping the ante on its miss behavior in places like syria. defenders of the nuclear deal would say that was never part of the agreement. we didn't try to get there with the agreement. but the agreement gave iran back $100 billion to make more miss

chief. it's hard to do business with a country looking to stoke wars. so you know, i'm rooting for the trump policy even if it wasn't my choice. it may well apply real pressure on iran and leave us in an interesting place down the road. >> let's home. thank you. >> shepard: news on the first daughter today. ivanka trump have pulling the plug on her fashion line. the details and what she will focus on instead. that's next. truecar is great for finding new cars.

conflicts of interest while the first daughter has worked at the white house has limited the brand's growth. she separated herself from the company after her father became president and she took on a role as one of her father's senior advisers. kristina partsinevelos is live at the white house with more. hi, kristina. >> you're right. politics one. she's going to focus on being a senior adviser to her father, president trump. her brand, which we'll show you images in just a second, but the ivanka trump line is clothing, dresses, shoes, perfume. it's under that brand. the company issued a state on behalf of ivanka trump. she said after 17 months in washington, i don't know when or if i will return to this business but i know my focus for the future will be the work i'm doing here in washington. so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners. the company launched in 2014 but sales soared in 2016 according

to forbes, up 61%. why? because ivanka trump was wearing her line of clothing and accessories throughout the campaign trail. she continued to wear them in huge speeches and tv interviews and that's when the protests and complaints came in that she was profiting from her role within the white house. that's when she stepped away but still maintained control over financials. you had certain companies like hudson's bay company and in order -- nordstrom that pulled their sales. and there's some other criticisms, too. not only violating laws by working in the white house but her relationship with china. i e-mailed every single fox business person and a few of your own colleagues to try to find a picture of the label. we're going to show it on the

screen. this is a label of the ivanka trump brand. it says "made in china." there's been concerns and criticisms that the brand, the company got preferential treatment in china, this past may they received seven trade marks from china. the company though had said they will honor their contracts. so you should see the brand in stores like lord & taylor and bloomingdale's and the winding down has nothing to do with poor sales. shep? >> shepard: kristina partsinevelos, thank you. there's word that north korea is starting to dismantle a missile test site. president trump has said that talks with pyongyang are on the right track. but pyongyang called that not a missile testing site. and there's other reports that some countries are helping north korea cheat sanctions. why are your gas prices going down so much? we go to the bottom of the hour

>> shepard: it's 3:30 in new york. there's word north korea has started to take apart one of their missile engine test sites. that's according to 38 north, a website that analyzes all things north korea. satellite images appear to show a construction crane dismantling parts of the facility. here's a video of a rocket launch in 2012. north korea said then that it launched a satellite into near orbit. mike pompeo says he wants inspectors to see what's going on first hand. >> we've seen the open press reporting against the test site and commitment with chairman kim made to president trump when the two of them were in singapore together. we've been pressing for their to be inspectors on the ground when

that engine site is dismantled. and i'll leave it at that for this morning. >> shepard: just weeks ago, other satellite images showed a different picture from a different site. there north korea was expanding a ballistic missile plant not scaling back at all. the national security correspondent jennifer griffin with the news live at the pentagon. what do you hear about these satellite images, jen? >> u.s. official whose reviewed similar satellite footage have confirmed to fox that some dismantling has occurred but caution on the issue. >> we're also pursuing the denuclearization of north korea and a new future of prosperity, security and peace on the korean peninsula and all of asia.

new images just today show that north korea has begun the process of dismantling a key missile site. we appreciate that. we had a fantastic meeting with chairman kim. it seems to be going very well. >> they need to completely, fully denuclearize. that's the steps that chairman kim committed to and that the world has demanded through u.n. security council resolution. that's straightforward. >> much like the dismantling of the test side in may, there were no outside expert observers available. no real way to verify what is happening in north korea. a reminder, too, shep that north korea promised secretary of state pompeo to return the remains of the u.s. war dead but yet have tone so. >> shepard: and is there evidence that the chinese are helping the north koreans cheat? >> gas prices have fally nearly

in half since march. that is according to reuters. suggest that somehow north korea is finding a way to evade sanctions. many suggest that china may be the culprit as it ramps up a trade war with the u.s. china may be loosening sanctions allowing its client states some relief as it negotiates with the u.s. ambassador nikki haley standing with secretary pompeo at the u.n. chastised china and russia for helping north korea break u.n. sanctions and smuggle oil into north korea. >> we put pressure today on china and russia to abide and be good helpers through this situation. and to help us continue with denuclearization. >> the u.n. security council passed a resolution in december banning nearly 90% of refined petroleum exports to north korea a way to squeeze them for their nuclear program and missile test. now it seems they're finding a

way around the sanctions, shep. >> shepard: secretary mattis spoke today at a rare news conference. what did he say about working with russia on syria? >> he was out at stanford with secretary state pompeo. he was asked about whether the u.s. military was prepared to work on the ground in syria with russia. that suggestion came out of that two-hour meeting between president trump and vladimir putin in helsinki. secretary mattis was very clear that right now the u.s. military de-conflicts with the russians but he says he has no orders right now with secretary of state pompeo or president trump to do so. the head of centcom suggested in an interview this week while traveling over seas that it would give him pause to work with the russians on the ground.

today we hear from the russian ministry to try to drive a wedge between the president and his generals and saying there's undermining. that's not the message that we're hearing from secretary mattis and others. they believe it would be risky to work with the russians on the ground in syria. >> shepard: thank you. gordon chang is here. author of "nuclear show down." good to see you. >> good to see you. >> shepard: is there any evidence that the north koreans are beginning the process of denuclearizing? >> not yet. >> shepard: as if you think they might? >> they might that really depends on whether trump is really -- >> shepard: you sat in this studio with me for years and you have told me the same thing for years and years. you've said they have one crop, they have one voice in the world. it's through nuclear. without it, they have nothing. so you're telling me there's a chance now that they might be on the road to denuclearization?

>> well, what i'm saying is, president trump is willing to use all the elements of american power. he can do that short of the use of force. shep, going back to your original question. no, there's no evidence that the north koreans have started on a pass to denuclearization. we've seen the intelligence reports seeing they're ramping up the production of fissile material. and we've seen the reactor that has no peaceful purposes whatsoever. all of these stories about the site that we just heard about in the last 24 hours, this is not a missile site despite what president trump said, this is a rocket site. >> shepard: an engine test site. >> yes, for liquid fuel missiles. liquid fuel is old technology. it's true that north korea's icbms use liquid fuel. but those really are not threats. it takes a long time for those missiles to stay on the ground a

half hour while they're being killed. we can kill them. what we're worried about is the solid fuel missiles. there's no word that they have started to take a part those sites. >> shepard: under bush, clinton, bush 43 and obama what the north koreans were trying to do was delay so that they could get fully nuclearized to hit the united states mainland to have power in the world. is there anything to indicate that this is anything other than another in a series of delay tactics? >> i think this is delay. you have to remember, this was the side agreement to the june 12th summit that they would take apart the missile site. president trump at that summit gave a side promise which was to suspend the joint military exercises, which was more important than taking a part the site. >> shepard: and we suspended the games. >> yes. >> shepard: i'm not sure who approved that.

maybe the president can do it unilaterally. >> he can do it. he's the commander-in-chief. he did not consult the military on this. >> shepard: he didn't consult the south koreans either. >> he didn't. >> shepard: he didn't even tell them. >> no. everybody was surprised by this. a lot of people were shocked at that june 12th press conference after the summit when president trump says i'm going to call them war games. they're joint exercises, defensive in nature. president trump did not get a promise from the north koreans to suspend their exercises which means their summer training cycle will go forward. the guardian exercises at the same time are not going forward, our readiness will decline. >> shepard: who suggested to the president that he suspend the not war games, the rehearsals on the peninsula? who suggested that? >> there is reporting, not confirmed, that he got -- president trump got the

suggestion from vladimir putin. i think -- >> shepard: which would be in the russians interest. >> it would be. i think he got it from xi jinping. president trump did not consult the u.s. military on the south koreans. what this means is over time, we're going to have a hollowed out alliance. we can always beat the north koreans if they invade the south but much greater civilian casualties to our own personnel. >> shepard: you've said here, a million in the first wave killed. >> could be. they use nukes, chemical and biological agents. seoul is about 25 or so million people. it's within, you know, the range of 30, 35 miles from the dmz, which separated the two koreas. this is just a big kill zone for the north koreans. we know that they can do that with their artillery. 14,300 tubes just knot of the

dmz. depends what they put in the tubes, this could be a horrific slaughter. >> shepard: thanks, gordon. >> thanks, shep. >> shepard: a republican congressman is calling for a carbon tax to help fight climate change. he's facing push-back from members of his own party. we'll speak live with the congressman from florida next.

>> shepard: a first now for a republican in congress in ten years. a gop congressman has introduced if passed into law would fight carbon emissions by putting a price on them. a carbon tax introduced by a republican lawmaker. the bill from the florida congressman, ways and means member, would eliminate the gas tax and would create a gas on carbon emissions as well. for years, scientists have talked about carbon dioxide and

climate change by burning fossil files. congressman curbelo joins me now. glad to have you. >> good to be with you. >> shepard: this has no chance. what's the point? >> we think it's an innovative solution that will help the president deliver on renewing the infrastructure, this will help with eight billion in infrastructure for roads, bridges, sea walls for coastal communities, public transportation systems and repeals discriminatory taxes as you just said, the gas tax which hurts lower and middle income americans and repeats the aviation fuel tax which hurts travelers and recognizes there's

a cost to carbon dioxide emissions. we want this discussion to ebb courage republicans and democrats to help address some of these big challenges facing our country. our infrastructure that requires major investment, something that the white house has supported and for coastal communities like mean with higher water levels, coral bleaching hurting our reefs which are so important to south florida and fish stock. this will help help. it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. this beats the emissions reductions goals that with in the paris agreement that the united states with drew from. this is an american solution to a number of great challenges that we face as a country. >> shepard: the congressman represented the 26th district, which is the ever grades, miami-dade, parts where andrew

hit back in the day and all of the florida keys. is in popular down there given local situations? >> you can imagine, shepard, sea level rise is a big problems when you live near the sea and at about sea level. for my constituents in the florida keys and miami and millions that love in south florida and in south carolina, louisiana, this is a major issue. we want to continue to list in these wonderful parts of the world but if we're going to do so, we have to pay attention to this issue of rising sea levels, what it means for the future. at the same time if we can invest in american infrastructure, repeal taxes against lower and middle americans and deregulate the economy, because that's something else that this bill does, it impose as moratorium on epa regulation of co2 emissions, we think this represents a number of big wins for our country and can really bring

republicans and democrats together to address these major challenges that we face. >> shepard: congressman, what do you say to other republicans that are climate science deniers? >> i'll tell them, for me this is not a philosophical or academic issue. i live in south florida. it's a low-lying area. we're seeing sea levels rise, ocean acidification. it's affecting our livelihood. it's hurting our why of live and our economy. we want a solution that respects the economy, will allow for economic growth, will repeal discriminatory taxes and invest in the few cheer. we're al environmentalists. nobody wants to hand-off an unhealthy, dirty planet to future generations. i tell my conservative colleagues a lot of us talk about the dangers of the national debt and how unfair it

is to leave a large fiscal debt that burdens and saddles younger americans, it's equally immoral and irresponsible to leave a environmental problem. that's why we have come up with a solution and trying to get more support is that you're not going to get it from the republican side. you have one republican co sponsor. is the reason for that the stated reason? the one given by others in your party that say climate science is not real, it's not a priority in the united states or is the real reason that the votes were bought and paid for by big oil? >> the first thing i'll tell you -- >> shepard: it's a straight up question. i'd like the answer. >> you brought up two points. the first thing i'll tell you, there's a lot of republicans even though they have not signed on to this legislation, that was just introduced yesterday. they have interested in it. they're asking questions and intrigued. they think it's an interesting solution. they're at least considering it. when it comes to the main reason

why i think a lot of republicans haven't wanted to engage in this issue is that a lot of republicans due to the polarization in our politics reflectively think that they have to disengage any time this issue of the environment come up, that it's not a real challenge when all of the science and people that come from areas where we're seeing the effects can guarantee that it absolutely is. i'm not going to question the integrity of colleagues and whether or not they do it because of political contributions. i think everyone should be willing to answer questions about why they accept certain political contributions. but i think the main reason that we have a big partisan divide on this issue is for many years republicans have almost been trained to refuse to engage on this issue. some is related to the fact that al gore adopted this cause on his own 15 years ago. i wish he would have done it with a republican. there's a legacy of partisan division and gridlock on this

issue. what we're trying to do is to close the partisan divide. >> shepard: congressman, good luck. nice to talk to you. on the other side, the national review writes it, the florida republican's new proposal is bad policy. we're learning more about what happened in a standoff at trader joe's in l.a. over the weekend and how the store manager died. the details next. booking a flight at the last minute doesn't have to be expensive. just go to priceline.
