it to us. that's it for this week's show. thanks to my panel. thanks to all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. we hope to see you all right here, next week. eric: we have news fast-breaking developments in the middle east. iran has released the crew members of the ship that came under attack in the gulf of oman. what the sailors were told arriving in dubai earlier today, this comes as president trump steps up the pressure on tehran, saying he has no doubt that regime was behind those attacks on the two tankers near the strait of hormuz. hello, welcome to a brand-new hour of america's news headquarters, i'm eric shawn with jillian. gillian: i'm jillian. you had me back for a second hour. i will take that as a win. i'm in for arthel n neville. patrick shanahan calling for international consensus against iran as tehran denies any

involvement in those attacks. a senior u.s. official tells fox news that iran fired a missile at a u.s. drone that was flying nearby at the time. eric: we have team fox news coverage for you. garrett tenney standing by with reactions at the white house. let's begin with jennifer griffin, live in washington. >> reporter: we have new details of an incident we first reported last night about the u.s. mq-9 reefer drone that was fired on by the iranians on thursday. a senior u.s. official tells me just minutes after the first distress call went out from the mv tanker at 6:12 a.m. local time on thursday, the u.s. military moved an unmanned mq-9 reefer drone over the altair. the drone arrived at 6:20 a.m. local time, eight minutes after the first distress call went out. at 6:45 a.m. local time, prior to the second attack on the second tanker, a missile was fired at the u.s. drone on

station over the altair. a no norwegian flagged ship. it missed. u.s. officials assessed the missile was a modified sa-7 surface to air missile fired from iran's mainland. it was fired after the u.s. drone arrived on station to assist the norwegian tanker. separately, we have learned from u.s. officials that an american mq-9 drone was shot down over yemen by iranian backed rebels on june 6. the british government issued a statement, blaming iran's revolutionary guard corps for the tanker attacks, saying no other state or non-state actor could possibly have been responsible. but the german government says it needs more evidence than the video released by u.s. central command allegedly showing an iranian boat removing an unexploded mine from the side of one the damaged vessels. iran has released this 23 sailor as you mentioned. it detained from the altair.

they arrived in dubai but didn't speak to reporters about their goal. heather:ordeal. they were forced into iranian custody by an irgc re revolutioy guard corps boat crew who surrounded the ship that originally rescued the sailors after the attack. tensions have been rising in the gulf since the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal a year ago. the islamic ref niewrgs hughes -- iran is threatening to resume enriching you' uranium if europn nations and the u.s. don't lift sanctions by july 7th. iran said they quadrupled their production of low enriched you'd uranium. expect rising tension in the gulf as the deadline approaches. president trump's pressure campaign is getting pressure

from washington. garrett tenney is live at the white house with reaction there. >> reporter: several 2020 democratic candidates say that they need to see this evidence for themselves before they can accept the trump administration's conclusion that iran is behind these attacks and among those are senators elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and amy clop char. they are -- klobuchar. they are concerned that the u.s. is moving closer to war with iran. they're warning president trump not to take action without congressional approval. pete buttigieg says he is seeing a pattern here reminiscent of the rush to war with iraq. >> look, what took place or what appears to have taken place is serious and we have seen this kind of maligned regional activity from iran before. the question now is how do we have a measured understanding and response that moves in the direction of deescalation rather than mounting tension in an area that is notoriously easy to get

inflamed and potentially lead to greater conflict. >> reporter: the white house argues the maximum pressure strategy will work against iran, the same way it worked to deescalate tensions with north korea, at least in the short run. in the long run, there's a lot of uncertainty. republican lawmakers are largely supporting the president's efforts to curb iran's destabilizing behavior in the region. >> i think the iranian regime is desperate, the sanctions are working and they're reaching out. maybe they're trying to do this when prime minister from japan is visiting. maybe they're trying to send a message like things are going to happen, you've got to give us relief on the sanctions and i'm glad we're there. >> reporter: it's important to note several european officials have also said that they are not ready to reach the same conclusions as the u.s., say they want to see more evidence independently before they are ready to make a determination of who is responsible for the attacks. on another note, the

president continuing to face a lot of backlash over comments this week about foreign election interference, backlash from both sides. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: a lot of folks on capitol hill on both sides of the aisle were made uncomfortable. earlier this week president trump suggested that he would be okay with taking intelligence from foreign countries about his political opponents and he may be okay with not reporting that to the fbi. well, on "fox & friends" on friday, the president tried to clarify things a little bit and explained that he would report any foreign efforts if he thought anything he received was incorrect or badly stated. >> of course you have to look at it because if you don't look at it, you're not going to know if it's bad. how are you going to know if it's bad? of course you would report it to the fbi or the attorney general or somebody like that. of course you'd do that. you couldn't have that happen with our country. everybody understands that. >> reporter: while the president

tried to walk back those comments a little bit, his 2020 democratic opponents are jumping on those, pointing to them as an exam the president believes he is above the law. this is an issue not going away anytime soon in thi this elec. >> it seems like a lot of people are not on board with the comments he made to walk it back. we will keep an eye on this. thank you. eric: the latest escalation of the tensions between the u.s. and iran, they're hardly anything new. the two nations have long had a strained relationship going back decades to the very beginning of the islamic revolution. mark meredith takes a closer look at that. >> reporter: the u.s. and iran have a long and complicated history, filled with testimony aids of mistrust and military escalation. now iran drew worldwide outrage after followers stormed the u.s. embassy in tehran in 1979. then president carter tried diplomatic and military efforts to bring the american hostages

home. the hostages were released on president reagan's inauguration day after more than 400 days in captivity. in the 1980s the u.s. began protecting kuwaiti oil tankers from attacks in the persian gulf. it was response to the iran and iraq war. throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the u.s. imposed additional sanctions against iran. in 2002, president george w. bush named iran as one of three countries in the axis of evil. president obama vowed to begin rebuilding relations with iran. in 2015, the iran nuclear deal was reached. it required iran to limit the nuclear program for up to 25 years in exchange for sanctions being lifted. in 2018, president trump withdrew the u.s. from the agreement. >> at the heart of the iran deal was a giant fiction that a murdr

s's ous regime -- >> reporter: the decisions has decimated iran's economy and led us to where we are today. >> the i' impetus for iran's aggressive behavior over the past six weeks or so has been the stinging effect of our maximum pressure, economic sanctions, which have brought the iranian economy and their currency to a free-fall. >> reporter: in the president, president trump said he's open to possible talks with the iranian regime. iran's leaders said recently said they had no plans to exchange messages with president trump. eric: thanks so much. joining me now to talk more about this is dr. rebecca grant, national security analyst and president of iris independent research. it's good to see you. i'm used to talking to you during the weekday mornings at 5:00 a.m. what a pleasant surprise. how far, doctor, do you think iran will push? >> iran is foiling for a fight using a small boat in its home

waters. we're putting maximum pressure on through economic sanctions but it's iran's revolutionary guard navy that's made the choice to push this and carry out these attacks. so i think they are inviting conflict. it's up to them, looks to me like they're spoiling for a fight. they're in the strait of hormuz. >> you wonder how far that fight is going to go. you wonder -- i guess what do you think? do you think the white house's maximum pressure strategy would work? do you think that's the right thing to do right now? or do you think we're possibly on the verge of war? >> i think the policy is on a good course and let's look for a minute at what the situation is really like. one thing that's very different is that we have great surveillance, the video that's come probably off the mq-9 drone that clearly shows an iranian boat up against that tanker, that's just an example of how closely the u.s. and our allies can watch what's going on in the gulf. those are relatively new

technologies over the past 10 or 5 years. so we have the ability to keep an eye on iran's small boats and i know our navy is very prepared as well. keeping an eye on what they do will be critical to the next steps either for our u.s. military forces and as we work with allies. >> you mentioned the u.s. and our allies keeping an eye there, obviously that video that we're looking at really alarming. but speaking of the allies, do you want any more of our allies to send a strong message to tehran? is everybody doing what they should right now? >> well, on a military basis we have a lot of good ally cooperation with multiple different navies that work in that area. we heard great britain and others come out and agree strongly. iran would love to stir up trouble between us and our allies. acting secretary shanahan commented that he is going to try to declassify additional information and share more of that surveillance. what it's going to show is iran has a huge rap sheet.

they've been at this small boat harassment for more than 30 years. i think it's very clear, iran is did cause of this and they are the ones that are being provocative at this point. >> what are the appropriate mention steps, especially from the united states. >> next number one is keep up the surveillance. athey'll be talking with allies, sharing intelligence. also looking at the contingency plans but for things around the naval sphere, do they want to do more escorting? are they able to do it with surveillance instead? we want to augment some more forces in the region. i think the u.s. and our allies will be talking about potential next military steps but will all depend on whether iran pushes. and the fact that they were shooting at a that mq-9 as jennifer reported, they are guilty, guilty, guilty. >> before we let you go, can you talk about the cost of

miscalculation here? >> there's a high cost. i think the cost is much higher for iran. the way this ended the last time in the a '80s was through operation praying mantis, the u.s. navy sunk three ships and took out oil facilities and that ended it. we have the ability to do precise operations against iran's revolutionary guard navy and shut down the operations. the u.s. and our allies can do that. it's iran that's the most likely to miscalculate from a military perspective. >> thank you so much. good to see you. have a good day. >> thank you. you too. eric: turning to immigration and the new details on that side deal with mexico. that mexico agreed to, we're told, in order to stop the flow of migrants heading to our southern border. jeff paul has more on all of this from our los angeles bureau. hi, jeff. >> reporter: eric, in a side agreement, mexico has agreed to additional measures it would take if it fails to help stop the influx of migrants heading to the u.s./mexico border.

if the united states determined at its discretion and after consistent sel station with mexico, -- consultation with mexico, after 45 days, that they haven't adequately achieved results, mexico will take all necessary steps under domestic law to bring the agreement into force. in addition, the side agreement ensures mexico will work towards becoming a safe third country, meaning persons seeking refugee stratus must make the claim in the first country they arrive in. tom homan called the side agreement an historic occasion for president trump. >> they've agreed to work toward a safe third country agreement where people from guatemala would have to claim asylum in mexico and people from el salvador and honduras would have to claim asylum in guatemala. this is a great deal. this is a game changer if it's implemented correctly and the

mexicans follow through on their commitment. >> reporter: the side agreement also calls for, quote, burden sharing in the sa assignment of responsibility for processing refugee claims. that's something mexico's foreign relation's secretary just addressed. >> mexico should and must regulate my gray tore youly flows in -- migratory flows in accordance with the law. it is everyone's responsibility and not just mexico's. and the unite united states is e first we will say this to. >> reporter: one other note involving tom homan. yesterday the president made an announcement naming homan border czar. homan said it was premature but he talked to administration officials and has not accepted any positions just yet. eric: if he does, we'll keep everyone informed. still ahead, there's several

impeach trump rallies going on today. coming up, we take a look at exactly who is behind them. this as house speaker nancy pelosi continues to push back against members of her caucus, calling for impeaching the president. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? iand i don't add up the years. but what i do count on... is staying happy and healthy. so, i add protein, vitamins and minerals to my diet with boost®. boost® high protein nutritional drink has 20 grams of protein,

welcome back. today there are impeach trump rallies taking place all across the country. the events organized by move on and other left activist organizations. jackie heinrich is live in the newsroom with more. >> reporter: about 300 people turned out to the rally in new york, including members of congress. the groups are called move on, and by the people. they organize support from dozens of smaller groups across the country, including black lives matter in new york. there are organized events happening in as many as 140 cities today, including chicago, dallas and los angeles. the groups point to the mueller report as conclusive evidence that the president obstructed justice and told his subordinates to do the same. they organized this rally to pressure democratic leadership to begin an impeachment inquiry. ththe issue of obstruction made headlines again after president trump's interview, when asked

whether he instructed don mcgahn to fire robert mueller and it was his comments on taking dirt from opponents that spurred some to show up in new york today. >> there's something that said i have information on your owe pone meant, let me call the fbi, give me a break. >> if you send me the information, thank you, i'll read it, basically saying i don't mind if you're influencing as long as you help my re-election. that's wrong. >> reporter: a recent poll showed 61% of people were owe posed to impeachment with 33% in favor. the same poll was nearly split on a question as to whether congress should investigate to determine whether or not to impeach, with 48% in favor, 49% against. the poll showed 69% of people favored bringing criminal charges against the president. the group acknowledges i'm peachment would likely be --

impeachment would likely be stalled. this week, house speaker nancy pelosi said impeachment was not even close in the democratic caucus. jillian: we'll continue to follow this. thank you. eric: impeachment calls have been growing louder on capitol hill, with more democrats demanding nancy pelosi begin proceedings against president trump. that after he claimed that he would possibly accept damaging information from foreign operatives. house speaker nancy pelosi says he is wrong but she is still not budging on her stance toward impeachment. >> it's a very sad thing, very sad thing that he does not know right from wrong. i believe he's been involved in a criminal overcup. eric: david, the president did walk those comments back. he called "fox & friends" yesterday and he said of course, here's a quote, you have to look at it because if you don't look t ate you're not going to know if it's bad. of course you give it to the fbi or report it to the attorney

general. do you think the president's damage control addresses the democratic concerns? >> it's interesting that the president does that, because this is not a president who usually likes to walk things back, apologize for admit wrong in any way. so he and his advisors must have got the sense that some damage was done. having said that, i don't think that's going to asage many people. if you don't like him, if you think he committed a criminal coverup, it's not nearly enough. it does give cover to his political supporters in congress to say he walked it back, he doesn't believe those things. eric: the critics are saying look at hillary clinton's campaign and the dnc hiring fusion gps, they say it's hypocrite call. they accused the democrats of doing just that. brian falon even quoted a couple years ago, saying he would have gone over to europe himself to

try and verify this deal allegations. what's the difference in that? >> well, those do not look very good for the democrats. part of that is basic politics, blocking and tackling, nothing inherently illegal. the problem for the president is have you a 400 some odd page report detailing all of this focused extensively on him. fair or not, he's the subject of all this. eric: the mueller report did not exonerate the president. there were 11 obstruction of justice allegations in that report. so when you take that report and you take those comments together, you have about 60 democrats now wanting impeachment. that's like a third of the 235 r who were elected to congress two thirds are against impeachment proceedings. >> there is a long way to go to get house democrats really on-board for impeachment and the report we just saw, most of those impeachment support rallies were taking place in new

york city, los angeles, chicago, et cetera, places where representatives in congress probably support impeachment already. however, there are democrats representing places like oklahoma, south carolina, suburban michigan that are noten tuesdayatuesdayas -- enthusiastt even being asked about the subject, they say that's not why we went to congress in the first place and they're not close to impeachment at this point. eric: what would get them close to impeachment or is this just an echo chamber, where you have demonstrations and it goes on and on without any movement of this issue. >> politicians are risk averse people. democrat and republican. and i think until they see some movement among their constituents, some polling, some reason to think that they would be safe moving in the direction of impeachment, it's going to be a while if ever before they get there. eric: nancy pelosi finally seems to think the final determination it's not impeachment but the election in

2020, that that will be the deciding factor. that's when the critics can try to get him out of office. >> agreeing with nancy pelosi on the issues -- she's a shrewd political operator, she's got a good read on these things within her democratic conference. she feels the election should be the ultimate arbiter. president trump could win re-election. eric: we'll see what happens. not going to be the last of it. david, thank you for your analysis. >> thank you. jillian: new polling shows two 2020 candidates breaking out of the crowded field. how elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg are making their moves and what that means for the other candidates. our political panel is on deck and they weigh in next. ♪ limu emu & doug

charleston, south carolina today. they're attending the black economic alliance forum. the state is them the first southern primary and african american voters in the state make up the majority of the democratic he'l electorate. jonathan is there in south carolina where they're making a bid for the block of voters. >> reporter: early on in the campaign, four candidates visiting south carolina today, many of them participating in events both inside and outside the forum. case in point, south bend, indiana mayor pete buttigieg leading a pro-union rally through the streets of downtown chafercharleston, inside, beto o'rourke talked about the importance of strengthening organized labor. >> the connection is clear, as the right to organize and the power of labor unions has declined, so has the ability for

more americans to enter the middle class or to stay in the middle class. >> reporter: new jersey senator cory booker pledged to help disadvantaged communities in both urban and rural america. although the forum, which was organized by the black economic alliance, focused on jobs, wages and wealth, the candidates also talked about issues such as immigration and foreign policy including growing tensions between the u.s. and iran. take a listen. >> i'm very concerned that we see a pattern that is reminiscent of the rush to war with iraq and i'm even worried that the president himself may not be fully in control of the white house right now, not when you have john bolton seeming to be behind some of the steps to increase tension. >> reporter: eric, south carolina is a solidly red state. when you look at democratic primary voters, two out of three of them in this state are black and so south carolina is viewed as sort of an early litmus test

on what african american voters sentiment may be nationwide. eric. eric: it is a crucial voting block there, of course. thank you, jonathan. jillian: the crowded field of democratic presidential candidates, joe biden still leading the pack. a recent iowa poll shows bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, and pete buttigieg are in close competition for second place. let's bring in our political panel, dan palmer is a former advisor for senator ted cruz, and robin byro is a former obama campaign regional field director. thank you, gentlemen, for joining us. robin, i'll start with you. a couple months ago the conversation seemed to go that a lot of democrats anyway wanted younger, fresher faces. but it seems like none of the candidates at the time really sparked their interest enough to hold on. is that starting to change? >> yes, it is. and i expect for a lot to change when we have that first debate in miami in less than two weeks. that could be a game-changer for

some the candidates who -- like mayor pete, for example, i think he's in fourth place now. i was surprised to see that bernie sanders has been ebbing d by elizabeth warren. a lot can change and the debates could shape a. jillian: why were you surprised about elizabeth warren and bernie sanders? >> well, just because i really thought bernie sanders supporters were galvanized enough to carry him through. elizabeth warren has reshaped the playing field. she's been hitting so hard on some of the specific issues that have been speaking to our political aisle. jillian: on that note, let's bring up this quote from politico on how the trump campaign sees -- the trump camp sees elizabeth warren as a new threat and the quote reads the latest view inside the trump campaign is that warren has a more coherent message and more passionate liberal following than biden whose support they see as soft.

dan, what do you say about that? >> i think we're very early on still, maybe the later stages of early and the normally forms around name i.d. so we have biden and sanders. on the democratic side it starts to galvanize around the identity politics that drive democratic politics. you see the rise of elizabeth warren with the women's vote. you see buttigieg with the gay vote. the media has shined a spotlight on different candidates at different times, beto o'rourke and so forth, who haven't caught fire. i think kamala harris is still a significant player in the primary and obviously with california's primary moving up to be concurrent with voting in new hampshire and iowa, she has to show well out here. she's a force. but actually she's likely to disappoint expectations and sort of fall away. over time, the durability of campaigns rests on the breadth of small donor support. they stay with you to the end. that was enabling bernie to go the distance in 2016 and i wouldn't count him out.

i think he'll have the resources to go the distance this time around as well. jillian: i think it's fair to say you can't count anybody out. let's talk about joe biden for a minute. for much of the last few months the conversation really around him for a lot of people has been they're comfortable with him, it's a name recognition type thing. but he is appearing in the latest poll we just had up a couple minutes ago to lose a little bit of ground. do you think he's going to lose more? >> to be honest, i thought that he would basically die out of attrition and his best day might be his first. he's performing better than i thought he would. i think that he's stands a chance of losing some ground just by attrition because we are looking for the younger emerging electorate is looking for candidates who are speaking more to their issues and joe biden isn't really exciting them right now. jillian: okay. what do you have to say about that, dan? >> i agree. biden absorbed a great deal of

the constituency initially by power of his name i.d. he's not where his party is now. his party has moved left. the energy particularly in the primary battle is left of biden. so naturally if people are going to rise, it has to come from somewhere. biden was a bit of a holding pattern until people saw the other candidates who can better distinguish them for their positions and so fort h we're seeing this go on. i tend to agree biden's best day was the day shortly after he announced and he'll be in a gradual decline. he's never been able to successfully finish a democratic pry mayor rim he normally suffers from foot in mouth and relies on large donors who are notoriously figur fickle. jillian: you just referenced the fact you think the democrats and -- obvious to say this, seems like a lot of them are moving more in the left direction. but do you think ultimately when it comes time to vote, do you think people are going to want

to vote that far left, that socialism mentality that a lot of people have been touting? >> no way. the vote -- there's only about 20% support for the key issues that are driving the democratic primary. they're all in a race to the left because that's where the energy in their party is. that's not even representative of where the registered democrats are. the registered democrats are more to the center than the activist democrats. so the race to the left is going to hinder whoever emerges because they're going to be saddled with a platform that doesn't align well with their own party and with the electorate at large many i think they've got a problem structurally here where they're running left a little too fast. jillian: we have a couple seconds left. final answer to you. >> i've been concerned about that too. look, i check with voters, democratic voters who sat this one out in 2016 to see how they felt. they said they would bring pompoms on election day to vote for someone they didn't care as

much about, someone like joe biden who they might not be excited to vote for but they would turn out to vote this time and bring people to the polls if that's what it took to defeat donald trump. jillian: we will be waiting to see if there are pompoms in hand. dan, robin, thank you for your time. eric: jillian, washington, there could be growing momentum to break up big tech. as google, facebook and others are growing fast and buying up the competition. now, several 2020 democrats are coming out in support of anti-trust laws and more regulation for those internet giants. critics saying the move unlikely to succeed. dan springer has more from seattle. >> reporter: it is an unconventional campaign billboard in the center of silicon valley. the candidate behind it is not a surprise. >> it is time to break up america's tech giants. >> reporter: senator elizabeth warren introduced a whole new campaign issue, one getting play on the campaign trail and inside the beltway.

warren's plan is to break up google, facebook and amazon, preventing them from competing on the platforms they own and operate. >> they want to be the umpire in the baseball game and they also want to run a bunch of teams in the game. many of the two dozen democrats running for president have weighed in. >> we are in fact in not just heading into another gilded age. >> reporter: kamala harris is taking a cautious approach. she has held several fundraiser in her tech heavy backyard but still throws a bone to the democratic party base. >> there's no question in my mind, there needs to be serious regulations and that that has not been happening. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden has largely avoided the topic. one candidate calls it a bad idea. >> i don't think a president should be running around pointing at companies and breaking them up without any kind of process here. >> reporter: big tech had been the darlings of democratic hopefuls, candidate barack obama was ahead in harnesses the power

november fund racing and votes. security breaches and fake election year postings drew anger. now some democratic candidates are leading the pop auto lift attacks. >> the fact that jeff bezos wanted our taxpayers to pay for his helicopter landing pad shows how disingenuous he was from the beginning. >> anybody here happen to know how much amazon paid in taxes last year? zero! >> reporter: president trump is harshly attacked amazon's leader on twitter, but what matters most to the industry is that trump has at times sounded a lot like his democratic rivals. he's not yet, however, called for a big tech break-up. dan springer, fox news. eric: overseas, hong kong's government trying to diffuse a political crisis, suspending the extradition bill that send 1 million protesters flooding the streets. we'll have a live report on that, next. geico makes it easy to get help when you need it.

jillian: welcome back. scary moments for passengers on a united airlines flight today when the plane skidded off the runway. the plane was flying from denver. it blew a tire upon landing. it veered off into the grass nearby. no injuries were reported. flights have resumed. travelers could face hours of delays. an investigation is underway. eric: hong kong's leader vows to intense -- bows to intense public pressure and suspend the extradition bill following days of huge protests. the proposed law would have allowed fugitives in hong kong to be sent to mainland china. we have details live from london. hi, ryan. >> reporter: hi, eric. this is a major climb-down from the government of hong kong, postponing this bill that as you say would have allowed for people in hong kong which is part of china but has its own political system to be

extradited to mainland china. one thing we learned over the last week is that people in hong kong really didn't like this bill. on wednesday, in the lead-up to this, we saw huge clashes between student protesters and the police. at one point, the protesters blocking the doors to the parliament in hong kong, simply because they didn't want their politician toss be debating the bill. on sunday, six days back when this kicked off, we saw 1 million people on the streets of hong kong. keep in mind, hong kong only has a population of about 7.3 million. biggest demonstration they've had there in 22 years. what's the big deal, you say? well, if the government -- if people can be extradited from hong kong to mainland china, then of course they can be tried in mainland chinese courts and the people of hong kong quite obviously don't trust those courts. where does this go from here? we're about to learn that. the protesters have already said they're going to have another

demonstration tomorrow. they announced it before the climb-down. they say it needs to go ahead anyway because many of them believe this bill shouldn't just be postponed. it should be scrapped all together. eric. eric: china promised not to interfere with hong kong at the hand-over. some critics are saying they're violating. that we'll keep on it. thanks so much. there's a deepening mystery in the dominican republic as we learn yet of another american who died while on vacation there. we're live on the ground with those h details. my experience with usaa has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life.

retired police officer from ohio. he came here to visit with his wife in january. three days later, he was dead. his daughter is still trying to find answers. >> he started to aspirate on his vomit. my mother tried to move him to help him and she called a friend that was vacationing with them. he was in a different building. his wife and him came over to help my mother and he was unresponsive and they took him to the hospital in the dominican republic where they put him on a ventilator in i.c.u. and he eventually died. >> reporter: that makes eight americans in resorts here in the dominican republic in the last several months, all dying of mysterious circumstances. officials here say the deaths are not related but at the same time they are investigating each case. jillian, back to you. jillian: steve, thank you.

♪ ♪ eric: beginning new hour, we start major news from the middle east, 23 crew members on board the norwegian oil tanker attacked in gulf of oman, we were told they've been released after being detained for 2 days in iran. hello, everyone, welcome to brand new hour of america's news headquarters, i'm eric sean. >> we usually see each other in short passing, i'm jillian mele in for arthel neville, coming as tensions between u.s. and iran's militaries escalate, the pentagon blames pentagon. eric: involvement as u.s. officials released the video, iran revolutionary guard, off the side of one of those two

damaged tankers, national security correspondent with the very latest, iran supposedly fired a missile at one of our man drones. >> that's right, eric, this is what i've been able to piece together with u.s. sources, just minutes after the first distress call went out from tanker at 6:12 a.m. local time on thursday, the u.s. military moved an unmanned fq9 reaper drone which caught fire after explosion. the drone arrived at 6:20 a.m. after first distressed came on, at 6:45 prior to second attack on second tanker missile was fired at the u.s. drone on station over the norwegian flag ship. missed. u.s. officials have assessed that the missile fa7 surface air missile fired from iran's

mainland after u.s. drone arrived on station to assist norwegian tanker, separately we have learned from u.s. official that week earlier american mq9 drone was shot down over yemen by iranian-backed houthi rebels, that attack took place on june 6th, eric. eric: jennifer, some of the allies are speaking up and condemning iran for this. >> that's right, the british government has issued a blunt statement blaming iran revolutionary guard corp. for the tanker attack saying no other state or nonstate actor could plausibly have been responsible but the german government says it needs more evidence than the video released by u.s. central command allegedly showing iranian boat removing unexploded mine from side of vessels, took more than 2 days for iran to release those 23 sailors detained from the mv, those sailers arriebed in dubai, u.s. officials tell me they weren't rescued by iran, i'm

told they were forced into iranian custody by an irgc, revolutionary guard boat crew who surrounded the friendly ship that originally rescued the sailers from the burning norwegian tanker, tensions have been rising in the gulf since the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal a year ago, in april the u.s. added iran's islamic revolutionary guard corp. to terror list, now iran threatening to resume enriching uranium to weapon's grade levels if u.s. and european nations don't lift sanctions by july 7th, expect rising tension in the gulf as july 7th deadline approaches, eric. jillian: president trump calling iran nation of terror following tanker attacks, gar jet -- garrett tenney live. >> these attacks are proof that the trump administration maximum pressure campaign against the iran is working and that iran is now lashing out in response to heavy u.s. sanctions which are

crippling its economy. on friday on "fox & friends" president trump said those sanctions will not go away until the regime changes its behavior and stops destabilizing actions in the region. >> when i came into office they were an absolute terror, they were all over the place, they were in yemen, they were in syria, we had 14 different sites of conflict, they were in charge of every single -- every single place. and they really are, they are a nation of terror and they've changed a lot since i've been president, i can tell you, they were unstoppable and now they are in deep, deep trouble. >> in that interview the president tried to clarify comments he made earlier in the week when he suggested that he would take information on political rivals from foreign countries if it was offered to them and would not report those to the fbi, the president received a loot of criticism and questions from both sides of the

aisle for those statements and on friday he said that he would report any interference if he believed the information given to him was wrong. >> oh, he would accept it, well, if i don't listen, you're not going to know, now if i thought anything was incorrect or badly stated, i'd report it to the attorney general, the fbi, i'd report it to law enforcement, absolutely. >> that explanation did not do much to ease the concerns with lawmakers in both parties and as a result democrats are now pushing for legislation that would make it illegal for any campaign to not report contacts with foreign governments during the election, jillian. jillian: this conversation is far from over, we will continue to follow it, thank you. >> you got it. eric: listed as the state department's number one state sponsored of terrorism and long guilty of bad behavior, former

intelligence officer, stanford university, john n september 2016 during the election i remember then candidate president trump, candidate trump about iranian boats that swarmed our ships, very annoying like mosquitoes he said, quote, at a rally, they, quote, circled our beautiful destroyers with their little boats, they will be shout-out of the water, what as are his options now? >> well, first of all, the key to understanding this, eric, this is all about economics, that's at the heart of this, the maximum pressure sanctions, primary and secondary on iran, consider iranian regime position, they have 37% inflation, 32% employment among young people and 6% contraction in gdp, political stability follows like day follows night and they are trying to change the dynamic here and that's what iran wants to do desperately and that's why they are trying to

ferment. eric: they seem the wrong course to change with dynamic, taking hostage our sailors, remember sailors who broke down near one to have islands and we had the photo of the sailors, they had their hands up and navy ship as opposed to, you know, trying to cooperate and we heard the report that it pulled to rescue boat and took them off to go to iran instead of to try to help them. >> well, 2016 that was prior to president trump being president and imposition of sanctions, i think that's a separate story, in this case, iranian strategy is this, if you'll note, this hasn't really been fully discussed, reported in other outlets, all of the other things iranians have done, all carefully calibrated to disable

ships and designed in such a way not to cause loss of life or big mess and what they are trying to do is debate the trump administration into response that does cause loss of life and environmental disaster, reshape the political dynamic such that the u.s. is under pressure to reenter negotiations with iran resulting in sanction's relief, sanction's relief, political optics is their game here and iranians did release as jennifer just reported, those norwegian sailors were flown to dubai, the iranians are trying to be the good guy, get a big reaction and force and change political behavior. >> you know, i can understand, it is clearly message because they are feeling heavily feeling the result as you say of the sanctions imposed by the administration and others, so how does the trump

administration delicately walk the line without falling into iranian trap? >> well, that's just it. the trick is not to fall into the trap, massive military response, air strikes or the like would be foolish and play into iranian's hands, what the administration needs to do here is to protect the shipping perhaps interject and to do so softly and delicately and not in a way that's out of proportion, causes political outcry, so through intelligence and through warning ships and perhaps protecting tankers passively, that's how you walk the line here. eric: they did just that in the 80's, 1987, the so-called tanker war, iranian mines were taking out tanker, flagged a lot of ships, apparently 160 ships and the u.s. navy were sent to escort and protect those ships

from the iranian mines during iraq and iran war, do you think they will -- >> we have a very different threat this time. in the 80's the mines were sea mines planted at sea and they were very large explosive and potential to sink a ship, in this case the iranians to affiliated groups are placing small mines on ships an setting them to go off when they're at sea. eric: do you think we will escort the tankers now, that would be the next step, small but proactive and safeguard step to protect the tankers that are out there, do you think the administration would take that step? >> yes, i think they should to a degree but that doesn't negate the threat, the mines are placed while they are in port and mines

and the like, the iranians have show no affinity for sending naval craft where there would be actual confrontation that could be pointed to. >> so perhaps finally they are listening to what candidate trump said in 2016 this they know, they have not directly engaged the u.s. navy, they have not apparently directly engaged any of our assets in this type of harassment. >> no, they haven't, certainly not in a lethal way. asymmetric warfare works in mountains and cities where inferior foe take on a superior one, in the air-sea domain, that's much, much harder to do and i don't see the iranians want to go risk that and they don't want to be seen as being too aggressive in such a way they can be pointed to. they want to provoke u.s.

response. eric: sanctions are stinging, john jordan, always good to see you, thank you for your analysis. >> thank you, eric. jillian: how about this, lines for hours late rl lay at target stores all across the country, one like 3 hours like the one in wisconsin store have been building due to system outage, jackie live, i'm looking on twitter and someone says target workers handing out water like if we are stranded in the desert, i guess you have bathroom and water. >> not the worst place to be stranded, i guess, but there's absolute mayhem at target stores across the country, frustrated shoppers abandoning red carts and checkout lines u target handing out goodies to apiece the crowd. target has more than 1800 stores across the country and the issue appears to be happening globally, still not clear on when the outage first happened or the number of stores affected. according to cnbc the same thing happened on this exact day 5

years ago at the time target said it was not related to a security issue, so far no explanations in the retail giant except this tweet which reads, we are aware that guests are currently unable to make purchases at target stores, our teams are troubleshooting now and we apologize for the inconvenes, we will provide update as soon as possible. shoppers took to twitter to voice frustrations, some of them acknowledging #first #firstworldproblems, others enraged, the upside, it might be the only time to go to target and come home with 20 things you didn't need, so far a few stores have reported registers online, no official update from target since their tweet 2 hours ago, jillian. jillian: if you're looking for the last-minute father's day card you have to go somewhere else. >> wal-mart, maybe. jillian: thank you, jackie. eric: oh, man. well, the white house putting the ball in méxico's court now hoping the country will slow the

jillian: good evening and welcome back, side deal with the

administration to curve migrants in southern border. hi, jeff. >> yeah, jillian, agreement agrees several key provisions between the u.s. and méxico, calls for, quote, burden sharing in assignment of responsibility for processing refugee claims, also under the term if the united states determines after 45 days that the measures implemented by méxico haven't adequately achieved results at addressing the flow of migrants, then méxico will take all necessary steps under domestic law to bring the agreement into force. all this coming weeks after the president threatened to impose tariffs on méxico if changes weren't made. this deal would help méxico avoid those tariffs. >> a way to put pressure on countries to do the right thing and, again, all we are asking méxico to do is do the right thing, be a true border security partner so that we can actually have the security in our nation that we need.

>> that agreement also ensures méxico will work towards becoming a safe-third country, must make asylum could now be included, jillian. jillian: a lot of people have been talking for a while about problems with different illness that is some of the migrants coming to the southern border have been carrying but now we are seeing issues at detention centers that are holding the migrants, right? >> yeah, mumps and chickenpox, ice so far has quarantine at 40 detention centers across the country. the agency has confirmed hundreds of cases and this move to quarantine was move in an effort to prevent spreading, highly contagious, ice has long warned of issues like this, it's overwhelmed by the number of migrants coming in and at, quote, breaking point.

migrants who have been detained are reportedly getting backseats. jillian. jillian: thank you. eric: more on this ideal between u.s. and méxico and new signs well, méxico may not fully behind it, was on the trump 2020 advisory member and laura, former policy director for obama 2012, welcome both, jenna, i will start with you, revolt in mexican legislature over this, do you think the southern border is a true border security partner? >> well, i think that president trump has definitely put pressure on méxico and they're going to have to abide by the terms of this deal otherwise president trump will go back and threaten tariffs and whatever action he has to as our chief executive to make sure that mexicanos that since day one president trump has been committed to border security and making sure to address this humanitarian crisis, so really it doesn't matter whether méxico is upset by this, it matters

that president trump is being a firm leader for méxico and saying méxico, you have to step up, i think the american people need to recognize that on a strobl leader would do this and congress really needs to take decisive action and instead of democrats ignoring ignoring them and not addressing it, they need to work with president trump to address this crisis. eric: well, what do you think the president will do if they back away? >> he will go to drawing board and go back to either threatening the tariffs or threatening other type of action, we have seen usmca is now -- is still being negotiated that hasn't passed through congress, a lot of things that the president even within his capacity and within the constitutional margin can do as the chief executive. i wish that congress would step up and pass significant legislation and work with the president, i think president trump has been very clear, he will do what it takes within constitutional margins to make sure borders are protected.

eric: because they have 25 days how do you think mexicans will respond, do you think we will see genuine progress on the issue or the president be forced to take action that he threats? >> i hope we will start to see some progress on this issue. i don't want to say continued because in my opinion i have not seen any progress by this administration on what's happening at our southern border. i personally have been to the border 3 times in less than a year, i was just there in mcallen, texas two weeks ago i saw the conditions of folks coming out of detention and also been on the other side of the border and seeing folks as they are coming in and out of shelters on the mexican side, the first thing that the president can start to do is address the crisis that's going on at the northern triangle, that is talking about el salvador, honduras and guatemala, those 3 countries know one is talking about the problem where it's starting, these people are coming from these countries because of a reason, violence, drugs,

persecution u human trafficking, sex trafficking, the list goes on, nothing is being done to address that issue. people will continue to come for safety, for security and to preserve their -- their life because this is what this is about, it's survival and we need to start addressing the issue which is talking about these 3 countries in the northern triangle of why folks are coming here and working with those countries to try to stop the crisis that's coming unless addressing it from a foreign policy standpoint and from national security along with the humanitarian crisis that's happening here in our border. it's a travesty. eric: someone was talking about that in fox news town hall a few days ago, julian castro, this is what he said on directly exactly what you said. >> we need antonio vest immigration judiciary that's independent and has enough judges and supports staff to actually go through all of the claims for asylum so that people are not waiting in limbo years

upon years. i've called for the equivalent of a 21st century marshal plan based on mutual respect and working together with these countries and with méxico so that people can find that safety and opportunity there and 144,000 people don't have to some to the southern border to try to find it here. eric: jenna, do you think we should allocate billions of dollars to stop horrendous issue? >> there are legitimate asylum claims and there are some people that fear persecution and representing for their lives and that's why we do have an immigration system, but, again, it's broken and the democrats in congress refuse to pass meaningful immigration reform. eric: they do support immigration bill, they just don't want to support and fund the wall. >> they don't want to support border security and what they are turning a blind eye is illegal immigration and the reason that the asylum system is overwhelmed is that you have a vast majority and significant margins, upward of 80% of asylum

claims that result in bogus claims. coming here and using system for economic reasons or saying we want a better life, that's not what our asylum system is for. eric: what about the democrats, some are saying, what larry just mentioned, marshal type program for those 3 central american countries, do you think the president would support that? >> i think that's something that he is definitely willing to look at and we have to as a nation determine what type of interventionallism and what types of steps will we take to prevent these types of things rather than border security. i don't think these are mutually exclusive alternatives and if democrats are willing to come to the table in good faith and say, yes, we are willing to fund the wall, we are willing to look at our own border security because this is the american government, we have to protect and preserve our country first and how do we best do that rather than claiming political giants, congress is not willing to look at border security, this is all about only humanitarianism, this

is only about legitimate asylum claims when we look at the numbers and we look at the facts that's simply not true. you have to address both at the same time and i do think, eric, president trump is willing to look at this but congress has to be willing to -- eric: you did hit something on the head, percentages of asylum claims and laura, let's finish up with you, upwards of nearly 69% of asylum claims from folks from el salvador are rejected, 76% rejected from honduras, 75% rejected from guatemala, it is their right to come here legally and seek asylum but finally what does it say about the whole system when the vast majority of the countries are going through the court system and determined that they do not have legitimate reasons to seek asylum here? >> so these migrants are receiving information, the wrong information from the start, from where their destination, where their journey begins, the

cayotose who are smugglers, cash cow business for these folks in how they message themselves and how they sell their services to people, the united states is the crown jewel, that's where they are told they should try to seek asylum, not stop in méxico, this is all part of -- part of the coyotes, plan of traffickers and smugglers, there's messaging, there's instructions involved, there's no communication happening from the beginning at the source, at the 3 countries, people are given this information, they are going to make the journey anyway and they are not going to stop because it's either death or they try to survive, so i ask people out there, this is what's going on, if you have a family, if you have children, if you have any one in your life that you care about and you're pushed to the limits and you are up against the wall and literally it is death or survival for you and your family i ask the american public what you would do.

eric: it is a crisis, certainly, it is continuing and growing and also as you point out a heartbreaking humanitarian issue too. >> heartbreaking. eric: jenna and laura, thank you. jillian: campaign trail leaving 2020 democratic hopefuls to south carolina this weekend as candidate look to court african-american voters, we will tell you who is drawing the most early support next. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really chic. i love this thing. it's gorgeous. i would pull up in this in a heartbeat. i want one of these. that is sharp. the all-new chevy blazer. speaks for itself. i don't know who they got to design this but give them a cookie and a star. it also has the highest growth in manufacturing jobs in the us.

>> hi, eric, will strengthening organized labor was common democratic theme both inside and outside this economic forum, outside south bend, indiana mayor pete buttigieg let prounion rally in historic downtown district of charleston, former texas congressman beto o'rourke echoed importance of union as a way of helping more americans entering the middle class and new jersey senator corey brooker pledged to help disadvantaged communities. >> climate change to health policy, these affect americans most we who are living on the margins, people struggling make it, living in disadvantages communities, whether rural towns or urban towns, millions of americans who every single day are in a struggle. not of their own. >> african americans make up majority of primary voters at least in the democratic primary here in south carolina and so

primary is viewed as litmus test by the democratic party, that's why the candidates are taking forums like this so seriously even though south carolina is a solidly red state in general elections, eric. eric: also new poll out from another state that has a large minority population, that's out in nevada. >> that's right u joe biden comfortably leads in new poll in the state of nevada by mammoth university and then when you break down the numbers looking at nonhispanic minorities in nevada, most of them african american in that state, biden leads by 42% followed by kamala harris by 13%, elizabeth warren at 12% and bernie sanders with 6%, but today elizabeth warren reminded the reporters it is early in the campaign cycle. listen. >> so it's way too early to talk

about polls, what are we 8 months away from the first caucuses and primary elections? i'm out there during what i believe in. >> and here in south carolina democrats keep pointing to the 2008 election in which during the primary campaign season hillary clinton started out early in the lead, only to be defeated in the primary by barack obama in this state, eric. eric: right now huge lead but ain't over until it's over and not over for a while. jonathan, thank you. [laughter] >> i don't think anybody would present me with anything bad because they know how much i love the country, nobody will present me with anything bad. number 2, if i was and, of course, you have to look at it because if you don't look at it you won't know if it's bad, how would you know it's bad, of course, you give it to the fbi or report to attorney general or somebody like that.

jillian: you heard it right there, president trump clarifying remarks about accepting information on a political opponent from a foreign government, what democratic 2020 hopefuls were quick to pounce on the president's remarks, former vice president, it's dead wrong. >> folks, this is simple, american elections should be decided by the american people not by russia or any other foreign power, i won't be part of any attempt to undermine democracy or public in institutions, in february working with close allies in europe, encourage candidates to take promising they would use no disinformation in campaign or tolerate outside interference. thank you for your time this afternoon. joe biden also says the president is welcoming foreign interference in an election, is he? >> well, to be clear the

president didn't necessarily say he would welcome that, but, you know -- jillian: that's what joe biden says. >> joe biden is trying to score points against the president, of course, he would say that. the president didn't direct i will say that, the democrats have interpreted as open door and that's in large part because democrats are publicly pledging not to use hack materials in their campaign and trump campaign has not taken similar pledge. jillian: democrats pledging not to use this, let's talk about kirsten gillibrand saying that fellow challenger has agreed to sign her cyber pledge, he's the first one to sign the pledge allegedly, do you see others following suit? >> gillibrand polling at 1% or less to get more attention. i don't expect biden to sign on her pledge, however, folks are public i will saying the same thing and dnc for what's it's worth are also saying that.

jillian: do you expect democrats to use as political talking point? >> certainly congressional democrats, chuck schumer and democrats tried to get senate republicans to pass legislation that would require any candidate that receives potentially hacked or foreign-base materials to notify and republicans objected. the reason according to republicans, a political talking point but scrimmage that we saw on friday at least in copcapitol hill they will continue to do that. jillian: president trump calling to "fox & friends" and he did walk back and clarify comments, some still say that that's not enough, do you think it's enough? >> well, look, i mean, this is not a president who is known to walk back much, right, part of his political identity is drawing that line and sticking to it. that was pretty significant in and of itself what he told fox, however, it depends how much biden and other rivals try to use it against him. we see the democratic field go quiet on, this it's unlikely that trump

will face any more pressure. jillian: what do you think needs to be done to stop election interference? >> there's bipartisan bills in the senate that senator mitch mcconnell, senate republican leader has declined to allow a vote on. i'm not an election, you know, security analyst but the fact that there's significant republican and democratic support for these bills indicate that is we might actually see some movement depending on how much democrats continue to force it because mcconnell may not want to give air time but clearly members of his party do. jillian: we are seeing moves by even social media outlets who are trying to be able to control this so other foreign entities don't have a say in the election and don't have a say in the news that's being published or stories published online. >> yeah, i mean, what's clear is that, you know, senator marco rubio, republican, senator amy klobuchar, democrat, a lot of smart minds in congress trying to figure out some rules of the road here. there's concern that it's too late, we are deep in election season and clear not just russia

but china is potentially working on the capability to -- to try further cyber. jillian: that's what i was going to ask, a lot of focus on russia but you mentioned china, anybody else who we should be talking about? >> russia and china are what members mention more frequently on online interfinesser attempts, however, talks of broad monitoring that could bring other actors. jillian: what do you see next to the white house in regards to this, in regards to election interference? >> any time the president gets in front of the media he will expect further comment on this in light of what happened with abc. the calling comments made to fox are to walk it back but won't quiet questions that the white house will get on this. we could see a white house trying to figure out whether to take the position on this senate legislation that would require notification to the fbi, for instance, or whether there's, you know, an official

middle-ground line that they would prefer to take. >> one thing for sure, certainly not the end of this conversation, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. eric: more on protecting the elections tomorrow noon eastern, that's when he start series on that, i go to illinois, showing you what they are doing now to protect the vote tomorrow at 12:00 eastern, local media crying foul over big tech providing steam to the push for social media companies to be regulated, that next. thank you, dennis quaid. you're welcome, guy in kitchen. i named my character walter. that's great. i'd tell you more but i only have thirty seconds so here's a dramatic shot of their tagline so you'll remember it. when insurance is affordable, it's surprisingly painless.
