now. so she's not just a stranger anymore. she's my aunt. >> it's amazing. guardian and jones are doing well. thanks for joining us. i'm dana perino. i'll be back tomorrow. >> shepard: it's noon on the the west coast, 3:00 at the pentagon where defense officials are accusing iran to plan attacks against american troops in the middle east. now the u.s. military is on the move and delivering a message the size of an aircraft carrier. first it was weed. now magic mushrooms. will denver residents vote to become the first american city to decriminalize shrooms? the wait is over. it's a royal baby boy for harry and meghan. what should they name him? reporting begins now.

we begin with a fresh warning from attacks from iran. president trump is sending an aircraft carrier and bombers to the middle east because of possible attacks of american forces in the area. we don't know what the intelligence is or what the iranians are accused of having in the works. john bolton says that the u.s. will respond to any attack on america or american interests with what he calls unrelenting force. the warning comes as the trump administration has routinely increased pressure on iran. most recently, increasing sanctions on iranian oil. this new development also comes less than a month after the united states designated i ran's national guard corps as a terrorist organization. putting that group in the same category as isis and al-quaida. iran responded declaring u.s. forces in the region are

terrorists. jennifer griffin reporting live from the pentagon. jen? >> shepard, the intelligence that prompted the u.s. to threaten iran and move military assets to the region is shared with the u.s. government by an allied intelligence service. israel's channel 13 reporter writes that the intelligence was provided by israel to john bolton two weeks ago and nonspecific in nature. here's what we know. the u.s.s. abraham lincoln was already in the mediterranean and has now been given accelerated orders to head to the suez canal. but it could take days if not weeks to get to the gulf. two guided missile destroyers from the strike group are closer to the persian gulf. an amphibious assault ship with 1,000 marines on board and dozens of helicopters and jets. the u.s. announced that they're

sending b-52 to the area. shep? >> shepard: tell us more about what you know recording the timing, jennifer. >> the u.s. state department took the unprecedented decision to designate iran's revolutionary guard corps a terrorist group. the first time the u.s. government has ever designated another country's military as terrorist adding them to the sanctions list. that set off an angry response from iran who declared u.s. military forces in the middle east terrorists. secretary of state pompeo just spoke at a conference in finland. >> we have continued to see activity that leaves to us believe that there's escalation taking place. we're taking actions from a security perspective and to make sure that the president has a wide range of options should something take place. >> patrick shanahan called on

iran to cease its provocations in the middle east in a tweet. shep? >> shepard: jennifer griffin live at the pentagon. thank you. michael o'hanlon believe there's a bigger picture here. he's from the brookings institution, a nonprofit public policy organization specializing in u.s. defense strategy and the american national security policy. michael, bigger picture? what do you see? >> hi, shepard. a couple things i'd add. i'd say first of all sanctions are iran are intensifying and we're trying to shut down iran's oil economy altogether as close as we can come to zero iranian experts. that's been a progression going back to last year when the trump administration decided to pull out of the 2015 iran nuclear deal. so they have less reason itself to show restraint on transit of the persian gulf by the super tankers.

that could play in later on. and then secondly, as you know, going back to 1983, the terrible hezbollah bombings of the u.s. marine bombings against attacks on the french embassy, iran thought they could get away with attacking american targets in the middle east as long as they do that through hezbollah. john bolton and president trump are essentially sending the message, you won't get away with that kind of nonplausible deniability in this case. if we see an attack, we know the origin, we know the incitigation and we will retaliate. it's tough to strike against a terrorist action. bolton and president trump are getting on top of this way. it's a smart way to signalling that we know what their game may be. >> shepard: it was general mattis that pulled this carrier group out to focus on china. you pointed to his legacy and that move. >> yeah, i was supportive of

secretary mattis doing that. i think when you're in this kind of situation where you have plausible intelligence, you have to remind people in the middle east that we're not losing our interest in that region altogether. because we're not going to be on station every minute doesn't mean we can't bring in bombers very first, doesn't mean we can't get there in a couple weeks even from a u.s. port if we decide to carry out a reprisal. it's better to be sending ships over soon. jennifer gave the breakdown in your report about how some ships might get there within a couple days, the carrier itself maybe need closer to a week defending on just where it is and what the backlog may be at the suez canal. they usually make room for us fast. the point is, it's okay to be unpredictable as long as you can muscle up when you need to. that's why i welcome this announcement. >> shepard: you noted as well as is always the case that there could be something covert going on as well. >> yeah, no doubt. that's usually the game that iran plays.

they try to get away this it covertly or through proxies. we often are on our heels in response because it's not usually worth the trouble of invading iran or bombing major iranian military facilities. we try to fight fire with fire. we're not as good as iran at that. the harder challenge for bolton and the pentagon is finding the appropriate target if and when there's an iranian attack through covert or terrorist means and we try to respond through a more classic display of military power. it can be hard to fight the right targets. that's the challenge. >> shepard: thanks, michael. i appreciate it. a bomb shell document is out this afternoon on the president and the mueller report. more than 370 former federal prosecutors who worked under republicans and democrats have signed a statement in writing

that the president would have been charged with obstruction were he not the president. also a major reversal from the president. it came yesterday. after long saying whether robert mueller testifies before congress is up to the attorney general. now the president himself is saying robert mueller should not testify. rich edson reporting live from the white house. what do we know about this letter from these former 370 prosecutors? >> well, shep, they say when obstruction of justice goes unpunished, it damages the entire legal system. they wrote -- >> they cite attempts to fire the special counsel by the president, also what they say is the president creating false evidence and witness tampering and intimidation.

the attorney general, william barr, did determine with the deputy attorney general, that the evidence in the mueller report was insufficient to find that the president did commit obstruction of justice, shep. >> shepard: the defense department responding to democrats on capitol hill and voting to hold barr in contempt of the congress. >> right. the justice department is just responded to the chairman of the judiciary committee and said they're willing to make an accommodation with congressional democrats, but they say in response, the attorney general has taken extraordinary steps to accommodate the judicialry's request for information regarding the special counsel's investigation. but to date, chairman nadler has not reciprocated and refusing to minimally redacted version and posing unreasonable terms on his offer to testify before the committee. the house chairman said he wants to see the full report and the underlying ed. he says --

>> chairman nadler says if the justice department present as good offer to see the full report and the ed, he can always postpone that vote to hold him in contempt on wednesday. shep? >> shepard: thanks, rich. a private jet was on its way from las vegas to mexico but never showed up. now the search is on for the jet and the 14 people that are now missing somewhere. and a cease fire on the border at gaza with israel. how long can that last? that's next. plus, in denver, recreational drugs are back on the ballot. this time shrooms. psychedelic mushrooms. some people argue decriminalize them. that's coming up on a monday afternoon. hi i'm joan lunden.

>> shepard: well, it was a bed start for the markets. it's not how you start. it's how you finish. started after president trump threatened to raise tariffs on chinese imports and said trade talks were moving too slowly. that would have cost everybody a lot of move, a live look at the big board. from drown to 450, to down 50. pretty dang good. the president tweeted over the weekend that the u.s. will more

than double the tariffs on some chinese goods from 10% to 25%. consumers pay for that. team fox coverage reporting live from the final hour of the trading. let's start with blake burman live on the north lawn. blake, how did this get started? >> two fold threat from president trump over the weekend that raised a lot of questions as to whether or not the u.s. and china can strike this long sought after trade deal. the president said $200 billion worth of goods. the tariff level will be going up significantly in a handful of days. the other, he said this could be just the start. here's the tweet that caught everybody's attention. he said -- >> he goes on to say, it will be taxed at a rate of 25%. the tariffs paid to the u.s.a.

have had little impact on costs borne by china. the president ends by saying no. according to sources, the president met with his trade team and they told the president that china was walking back from previous concessions, which is what led him to fire off that very tweet. looking forward though, china is supposed to bring a team of about 100 or so for negotiations wednesday with many onlookers hoping a deal could be formalized at the conclusion of those discussions. however, at this hour, it's unclear if the entirety of that team will come. action we were told earlier today, preparations for the top negotiator for china have been stalled. over here at the white house, they are preparing for the talks to go forward. one source told me about the president's threat for tariffs that they should be taken very seriously according to the

source. as you know, the president has called himself before the tariff man. shep? >> shepard: what are we hearing from the chinese? >> their spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs gave a press conference, took some questions. this was his response saying china very much wants to strike a trade deal with the u.s. he said -- >> now back here at home, president trump actually has a pretty unusual ally in the sense that the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, takes a pretty similar stance with him on china. in fact, schumer sent out this tweet responding to the president over the weekend saying --

>> bottom line as we've followed the developments here over the last several hours, this one appears to be very fluid. the big question is, will china be sending that delegation over, if so, how big and does that include the vice premier. as one sold told me that if he doesn't come, at the white house that would send a clear signal, shepard. >> shepard: blake burman at the white house. kristina partsinevelos down on the floor of the new york stock exchange. horrible beginning. much better finish. >> we saw a 400-point swing. a trader said a lot of the movement in the morning was emotional. investors read the headlines. had two trump tweets that blake alluded to. that erupted the market calm and erased the gains that we had last friday with the jobs report. so if we take a lack at the dow, you talked about that. you see it starting to trail back up. down 43 points. it's climbing higher and higher.

at the end of the day, we could end in the green. what is weighing heavily, apple shares down as well ago intel. the reason being is those companies and many others have exposure to china. 20% of apple's revenue is in china. so when the trade negotiations start to turn sour, then you start to have a sell-off, the same with boeing and caterpillar. the traders say we've been riding high for quite some time and the stocks could be overvalued and we're in due time for a correction. that could be who knows, could come soon or later. right now the dow down 42 points at the moment. possibly could climb higher. could end on the are green. i'm not a better. i won't bet. i'll leave it to the trader.

say boeing gave them partial and inconsistent answers after the crash. they say it wasn't until five months later after a second deadly crash involving the 737 max in ethiopia that that boeing went into more detail about the problem. the fox business network's jackie deangelis is live with more. boeing says there was a problem but knew the planes were safe to fly. >> not only did boeing know of the safety defect, but the company concluded the feature wasn't needed to safely operate the 737 plane. boeing said when the issue was first discovered, they concluded the existing functionality was acceptable. the company wanted to make clear that engineers knew of the problem early on, upper management didn't. the company said when the

discrepancy with the requirements and the software were identified, senior leadership was not involved in the review and first became aware of the issue in the aftermath of the lion air accident. the aftermath is when other airlines that operate the 737 found out about it like southwest, for example. this particular safety indicator has been very controversial. not just for the reasons that i mentioned but also because one piece of it was standard while the other part of it that made it functional was an optional add-on feature. if it was functioning properly, it was designed to let pilots know when there was a problem with the pitch of the plane's nose that is an issue in both deadly plane crashes, shepard. >> shepard: thanks, jackie. good to see you. thank you. ahead, a new report from the united nations finds that the nature is in the worst shape in human history with more than a million species in danger of

thought she was going to say perish the thought but she said she approves of it. if he has an american mum, should have an american passport. everybody is just happy. >> shepard: just splendid. baby, baby, yoo-hoo! already. have you heard about cbs? big shakeup. they are announcing nora o'donnell will leave the morning show at cbs and go to the cbs evening news. they're also relocating the news cast from new york city to the d.c. that is a new thing. and the morning co-anchor, gail king, denied reports that she pushed nora out and said they don't have any beef. cbs reps say they're in talks with the current news anchor, jeff glor, about his future. he held the job less than 1 1/2 years. they have anthony mason and tony

decoppola to go to the morning show. and there's this. the dude from the big lombowski could move to denver. residents are voting on decriminalizing shrooms. if the measure passes, it wouldn't make mushies or magic mushrooms legal but people that grow and possess them would be the lowest priority for law enforcement. prosecutions wouldn't happen. so the dude would be in the clear. users report having a transform ty experience on shrooms. a euphoric high with long-term enlightenment. supporters say shrooms can help people with mental illnesses as well. critics say it would have a negative impact on the city of denver's reputation which has already been affected by

legalized pot. tourism has. the drug and enforcement administration has classified mushrooms in the same class as heroin and cocaine. it has a bigger potential for abuse. the studies are limited. we turn to trace gallagher who is live with more in the west coast news hub. trace? >> they wouldn't come after you for possessing magic mushrooms but they wouldn't be available at the dispensaries because it would still be a felony to sell them. limited studies show they're not addictive and could have positive effects on depression, anxiety and ptsd and drug and alcohol addiction. the fda has fast tracked the research and developedment of the drugs to help people. here's someone who is in favor. watch. >> this is a real opportunity

for denver to be a leader when it comes to drug policy. and to create an environment where individuals feel like they have a safety net to speak about their personal use. >> the measure only applies to denver, not the rest of colorado. denver has not cracked down on mushroom use. only 11 people were prosecuted. the major is against it and so is the dea. denver is already a destination for marijuana users. there's obvious concerns about driving under the influence, otherwise being impaired. experts say there might be some medical benefits, there could be down sides. watch. >> some of the more serious symptoms are seizures, panic disorder. could trigger panic. could trigger a psychotic outbreak. those require somebody to go to the hospital for medical

treatment. >> yeah, they want more research before it gets a green light or other groovy light in that matter. >> shepard: makes sense. trace gallagher in los angeles. thanks. neil cavuto in new york starts now. >> neil: so much for a trade war on stocks. from panic to well, we can deal with that. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. let's just say it could have been worse. much worse. much much worse. the dow diving nearly 500 points at the open today when it looked like a trade deal with china was on the brink and maybe gone. it all began over the weekend when the president threatened to ramp up tariffs from 10% to 25%. with the added threat that the tariffs could expand to $325 billion of stuff that we get from there. talk that the president was getting inpatient and the chinese after that were getting
