money with money in it. loves swag. i thought he would keep it. he said mom i felt it and he felt good about himself. >> melissa: end on that happy note. brian kilmeade, thank you. we will be back on monday. now here is harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. president trump ordering and calling off airstrikes against iranian military targets that took out our u.s. drone. he stopped that action just 10 minutes before launch. and now, in a new interview is explaining why. you are watching outnumbered overtime. i'm harris faulkner. the president has just said military planes would have been in the air soon, when he decided to make the call to stand down. that mission was intended as retaliation for the downing of a u.s. navy drone over the strait of hormuz. here's the president explaining his last-minute decision from just minutes ago. >> i said how many people are going to be killed? sir, i would like to get back to you on that. great people, these generals. they said came back and

said, sir, approximately 150. and i thought about it for a second and i said you know what they shot unmanned drone plane, whatever you want to call it and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after i said go ahead. >> >> yeah. >> i didn't like it. i didn't think it was proportionality. >> harris: this development. iran has released images as you see on your screen now which iran claims to show the debris from that navy drone. the revolutionary guard saying some of those remnants were recovered from waters in iranian territory national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon. jennifer? >> atmosphere here at the pentagon here today as opposed to yesterday. u.s. warplanes were in the air, i'm told. navy warships were in

position and ready to strike with tomahawk missiles and just waiting the go orders. you heard the president explain his decision to stop the mission at the last minute, but there remains serious questions about what changed his mind. especially since there had been discussions earlier in the day that there likely would have been 150 casualties. here's what the president tweeted earlier today, quote: we were cocked and loaded to retaliate last night on three different sights when i asked how many will die? 150 people, sir, was the answer from a general. 10 minutes before the strike i stopped it. not proportionate to shooting down unmanned drone. i'm in no hurry. the u.s. still has 70,000 troops and an erica craft carrier strike in the region. claimed victory for iran who claims not to have shot down the poseidon plane with 35 americans on board. that plane was flying next to the global hawk and shot this video of the unmanned global hawk as it was being shot down.

today iranian state television also released this video showing what it claims is the wreckage of the large u.s. navy drone that was shot down. it's the second time in a week iranian forces have fired on u.s. drones. this iranian video shows the advance surface-to-air missile used to shoot down the high altitude american drone worth more than $100 million. it has a swing span the size of a boeing 737. late last night the faa issued a notice to airmen prohibiting u.s. aircraft from flying over the persian gulf. commercial aircraft that is and the gulf of oman. the area where iran shot down the american drone. as you can see from this flight tracker radar, there has been a steep drop in commercial airline traffic. many international airlines said it would be -- they would be avoiding the strait of hormuz. tensions are lower today but the u.s. military, we're told, harris, is still poised to respond if need be. as one civilian leader said in private national security discussions yesterday,

sometimes a show of restraint is a show of force in and of itself. harris? >> harris: jennifer griffin, thank you very much. i want to bring in now retired four star general jack keane, chairman at the institute for the study of war and a fox news senior strategic analyst. general thank you for being with me. what does that communicate to iran? >> i think clearly the sanctions are beginning the cripple the iranian economy and laid out details what that really means. he knows the iranians are reacting to it. those what these provocations have been about these past few weeks. the latest one, of course, the shootdown of an american drone. i think the president clearly believes that time is on his hands -- on his side because of what the sanctions are doing to the iranians. and the provocations themselves, i think what i see happening in the future here in the near term is the

administration is going to shore up the shipping lanes in the persian gulf and the gulf of oman, that's a task that secretary pompeo has been heavily involved in. it will be a coalition effort with allies in the region and possibly inside and outside the region and the united states to make certain that that flow of oil out of that artery in the persian gulf is able to maintain itself. and the united states has a national interest here. even though we are not dependent on the oil the way we used to be. we are have an interest in a stable and secure middle east in terms of the fact that half of the world's economy is dependent on that. so, that is our national interests there. that's going to be a major task in front of us. the second major task in front of us is the iranian threat harris, again to try to leverage the international community and the united states by threatening moving moving

from the jcpoa nuclear deal on iranian enrequirement which is 3.67% and a number they're using 20%. that is alarming because from that 20% can you go very quickly to weaponization in terms of enriched of uranium. that's a number that's got everybody's attention. clearly the israelis, it has the attention of the united states national security team here. and i would imagine that the united states will be going back to the iranians publicly and privately and telling them this is likely going to be a red line for us. >> harris: i want to step in with this as we know the president has given a recent interview with nbc. i want to note importance of him saying this that he never gave final warning. planes would have been in the air pretty soon and he didn't think the airstrike was proportionate to the drone attack whether a is

the significance of the president giving that detail why we are not hitting that military target, the means as you told me about this week yesterday as the story was breaking, not hitting the means that took down our drones? >> they were clearly going after the means from what i understand, batteries, radar sights and command and control to take care of those. and the estimate of 150 casualties, i think what he was going through in his mind was unmanned drone vs. 150 casualties as a tradeoff, it didn't sit right with him. he is the commander-in-chief, and he is the decision maker, it's pretty typical of this president, he tells you what he thinks. i take that at face value from him. i do know from talking to people and this is somewhat in dispute here. from talking to people who were at the earlier briefings in the day, when the options were discussed,

these casualty numbers were not supposedly presented. they were presented much later prior to the strike. that's in dispute, obviously, from what jennifer was saying based on things she heard. >> harris: i want to get to this quickly before i have to let you go. was this a cancellation or a delay. >> i think based on this reality it's a cancellation. i don't see a reattack unless the iranians do something in addition to what they have done. if they start taking american lives and charge here that eventually is likely. and then you are going to see a different kind of strike entirely if americans are killed by iranians. airstrike i think is on the shelf and likely not going to be redone. >> general jack keane, thank you very much for joining me today. we will move on at this

point. good talking to you harris. 020 contend are cory booker smooth things over. senators impact in 1973. after that phone call, booker still had some tough words for the former v.p. >> he said things that are hurtful and are harmful. he believe he should apologize to the american people in having this discussion with all of us and if there is actually an opportunity here now for someone who is a former vice president for someone who is seeking to be the leader of the party and the party to speak to these issues. >> harris: joining us now from washington with more on, this david? >> harris, it appears that there is still palpable attention between these two candidates. candidates seen few years ago obama administration. former vice president senator booker former v.p.

was quoted late senator her man -- pointing to an example of working with other senator core booker lashed out calling biden to issue an apology of his mention of both senators talmadge and eastland. biden on his way in to a fund raiser a few nights ago said this about cory booker. >> are you going to apologize. >> apologize for what? >> he knows better. there is not a racist bone in my body. i have been involved in civil rights my whole career, period, period, period. >> now while biden is taking heat from cory booker, kirsten gillibrand and bernie sanders, they say that he is getting support from allies on capitol hill. here is georgia democrat congressman john lewis just a few hours ago. >> i don't think the remarks

are -- keep his faith and keep his eyes on the prize and never ever give up. >> senator lindsey graham from south carolina and close friend of president donald trump also sticking up for biden. listen. >> he is a decent man. there is not a racist bone in my body. is he my friend. >> former v.p. biden will spend the next few days in south carolina meeting with african-american voters. he and booker will both be in miami for the first debate set for next week, harris? >> harris: it will be interesting to see if he doesn't settle this down before that first debate if it doesn't come up on that stable and how. david, good to see you thank you very much. >> thank you. >> harris: a cook county illinois judge appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the handling of the jussie smollett case by chicago's top prosecutor kim foxx. we were watching for this today. it has happened. her office, as you may remember, dropped all charges against the empire actor who was accuse accused of staging racist and anti-gay

attack on himself back in january. the judge said that foxx did not have the right to assign her top deputy to leave the case after foxx had in fact recused her sufficiently. more on the story as it develops today. the missouri health department is renewing the license for the last abortion clinic unsafe medical practices. the judge says the clinic may stay open for now until he decides what the next steps are. mike tobin is following this in. the state loses last clinic performing abortions but may get it back for just a little while while there is more adjudication. >> it continue to pratsz politics, representizing this inspection process and of being on the wrong side of history. that's because the department of health and human services denied the license for reproductive

health services at planned parenthood to continue providing abortion services. the statest last legal abortion provider will be continue to operate. >> i want the people of missouri to know that people in need of reproductive healthcare that they can come to planned parenthood, the doors are open. >> heavily on inspection report that noted four failed abortions at the st. louis clinic. two that resulted with women in the hospital due to severe complications. under restrictive laws and guidelines two pelvic exams of women seeking abortions. planned parenthood says more than one is not medically necessary and amounts to abuse. on wednesday doctors at the clinic said they would perform only one pelvic exam in defiance of the state it wasn't a surprise that the state came out and denied the new license. the clinic will continue to operate as long as this

injunction remains in place. how long that will happen according to the judge settler in thsteltzer is is he l remain in place -- >> harris: we don't have a timeline. we have to docket to figure out when that might happen. mike tobin, in missouri, thank you very much. >> harris: well, this dash cam video of an officer struggling with a suspect and then being dragged 100 feet during a traffic stop learn more about it just ahead. plus, a dominican republic official is down playing reports on the deaths of at least seven americans in the d.r. over the past year, calling them quote, unquote, exaggerated and not a mystery. a live report. and the daughter of another victim who died under suspicious circumstances in the dr is from kansas. her dad an army vet. he will join me next. newday usa can help.

>> harris: dash cam video a suspect taking off running out of his car during a traffic stop at a train crossing yesterday. the officer chasing him and tackled that suspect as he tried to jump back into the car when the train passes. the suspect dragged that officer about 100 feet with his car. the suspect 19 years old later arrested and charged with attempted murder. the police officer was treated for just minor injuries. what a blessing. fox news alert. the dominican republic's tourism minister is now calling reports on the suspicious deaths of at least 11 american tourists since june of last year exaggerated saying autopsy reports show the deaths are not a mystery, jeff paul is live in santo domingo, the

capital there. jeff? >> yeah, harris, we just sat down with the minister of tourism here in the dominican republic. this is shortly after he addressed all of the media a short while ago, keep stressing the fact that he believes the situation as it's being described is an exaggeration. the minister is adamant it was the dominican republic that called the fbi saying they have nothing to hide impact future tourism. hoping he is able to clarify that there is nothing wrong with the d.r. we asked about what his message is to the families of the 11 american tourists who have died in the last 12 months. the minister says he is sympathetic to those families but, again, continued to stress that there is no miss i have. >> we have shown there is not an avalanche of dead american tourists in this country. all of the decease dollars that have occurred the

result has been determined there does not exist any mystery. >> the one thing that everyone seems to be waiting on are the results of these three toxicology tests that the fbi is reportedly assisting the dominican republic with. we also know that at least one congressman plans to make a trip to the d.r. not only tourism officials but also government officials to make sure what he said make sure that american safety is stale priority. harris? >> harris: real quickly before i let you go. there have been reports of toxicology machines not operable. what is the latest on that? >> >> we haven't heard anything quite like that because the ones we are waiting for involve the americans. we did hear some sort of information that there is testing being done by the local authorities. we have yet to get our hands of the test results.

>> harris: that has been some of the reporting. jeff paul, thank you very much. meanwhile the death of a u.s.s. army in the d.r. is suspicious circumstances. we're told and is now being scrutinized. 41-year-old chris palmer of kansas died in april of 2018. after falling critically ill at a resort and palmer's daughter meghan arnold joins us now. meghan, thank you. i want to let our audience know you and i spoke by phone a little bit today so i could get some of the facts on all of this. first of all, i'm sorry for the loss of your father first thing you said to me how much of a struggle it was from april until even now to get answers. >> yes. from the very beginning obviously his death was a complete shock to us because he was completely healthy and so then from the very beginning i was contacting anybody i knew, the u.s. embassy, the dominican embassy, friends, co-workers, anybody and even

once i finally found out where he was, which the funeral home immediately, i was pressured to make a decision whether it was going to be cremation or embalming or i was told he would be stuck there. >> harris: what about if you will the chase for the facts. you wanted to know cause of death and you were told how long it was going to take? >> yes. i asked immediately and they told me it could be anywhere from two to three months before i would even receive a cause of death. >> harris: and they said preliminarily that it was a heart attack but have you already described your father and i should tell the audience, taking diving lessons and he was very active and this was such a shock to you. when you were being pressured over whether to cream mate or embalm the remains, was there any discussion about how that would frustrate the look for cause of death death certificate? >> when i asked in terms of toxicology reports in terms of autopsies, it was always

it will be included on the death certificate. you will get it on the death certificate every time i called i always asked about the toxicology report and the fact, you know, if he is going to be cremated, if he is going to be embalmed it's going to execute results. >> harris: to say least. >> i didn't understand it. >> harris: in the effort to get answers i know that you say officials have not been helpful. what is the process been? are they not forthcoming? are they no not available? what's happening? >> well, in the very beginning, you know, i was calling around and i would get answers of saying confirming basically that we know know what's going on any time i would try to return calls to try to get more information, it was always just dead ends. nobody had help for me and then slowly as the process began to switch over to him twinelly being brought home then the calls immediately stopped. i have not heard from anyone

from that day on. >> harris: i know you chose to have his remains embalmed and once he was home in kansas you had them cremated at this point. the tourism ministry is saying that this is exaggerated. whether a is your response to that? >> honestly, i have no words. i don't know how about can see what is this 11 deaths now? they all have somewhat of the same cause. they are all in the same area. he is claiming, you know, this can happen anywhere. i completely agree heart attacks can happen anywhere. bad things can happen anywhere. but where else are we seeing 11 cases of almost the same thing in the same area? in the dominican. i'm sorry, go ahead. >> harris: real quickly the resort where your father was staying because i'm sure

people will be curious was the ville la palma resort in punta cana. he had been that i have timeshare process and be a sales person there if he wanted to do that he was found dead in his room on april 18th, 2018. meghan, what happens next for you? >> just fighting to find answers and i also want to say that i feel for all of these other families because i know how hard this process is. and i just feel that we all need to work together as a team. come forward. report these. tell your story. and let's work together to get it figured out. i mean, because nobody deserves. this. >> harris: yeah. not only is it hard, you shared with me that it's expensive. that anything you do is on your own dime. meghan arnold, 23 years old. i know our audience sees a very young woman there.

22 when you learned that your father, crystal member, an army veteran was dead in punta cana in his resort room last april. god bless new your search for answers and thank you for joining me. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> harris: outnumbered overtime is going to stay on these stories. stay with me.

what's going on? it's the 3pm slump. should have had a p3. oh yeah. should have had a p3. need energy? get p3. with a mix of meat, cheese and nuts.

hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief...

what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?! (laughing) what?? what?! what?! [crash] what?! haha, it happens. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, paying for this could feel like getting robbed twice. so get allstate... and be better protected from mayhem... like me. ♪ hires hairs this incident was caught on video in phoenix sky harbor airport look at your screen a man attacking tsa officers as he was trying to rush through a security check point. authorities were able to eventually subdue and of course arrest him. he is 19 years old. charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanor assault. according to tsa officials, five officers were injured and one had to be taken to the hospital after all this. boy. fortunately, that person who was hurt has been released

from medical care. but, wow. the war crimes trial of decorated navy seal edward gallagher continues today. this was breaking news 24 hours ago right here on this program. that stunning testimony coming from a special forces medic who said he, himself, not gallagher, killed an isis prisoner in iraq. now gallagher's attorneys want the case dropped but the navy claims the prosecution's witness changed his story after getting immunity. jonathan hunt live in san diego 24 hours a day. you and i were talking about this popping. what's new? >> yeah, it's pretty extraordinary, harris. i talked by the way to chief gallagher as he arrived at court today with his wife andrea by his side as always. listen here. >> good morning chief gallagher. >> good morning. >> how are you feeling this morning. >> good. >> feel like you are almost. >> there yeah. >> thank you. >> their optimism that this might soon be over prompted by the claim on the witness

stand yesterday by seal team 7 member corey scott that it was not chief gallagher's knife that killed the wounded isis fighter in iraq in 2017 but scott's own hands cutting off the prisoner's air supply. defense attorneys for chief gallagher suggested in the wake of that claim the prosecution should simply drop their case. >> this is a case that should never have gotten to this point. if ncis had done their job he should never have been arrested in the first place. now it remains to be seen whether the prosecution, whether the navy will admit okay, maybe we made a mistake. let's go back and regroup. >> the u.s. navy issued a statement saying the government will not be dropping premeditated murder charges against chief petty officer gallagher despite petty officer scott's testimony. the credibility of a witness is for the jury to decide.

andrea said outside of the court that none of those testifying against her husband have any credibility. >> they are either covering their lie that they told before, the lie that they told on the stand or the lie that they are preparing to try to target my husband. >> but a host of questions remain, harris, will the jury believe corey scott, given that he has an immunity deal will chief gallagher face lesser charges being that he did indeed stab that isis fighter. also he faces war crimes charges for allegedly shooting at iraqi civilians. two fellow seal snipers will testify about that part of this case later today. harris? >> harris: and we will be watching it all closely given what has happened in the last day. jonathan hunt, thank you very much. so we now are getting new information as the president has just recently given an

interview. president trump saying he ordered and then called off retaliatory airstrikes against iran after learning 150 people would be killed. the president says he didn't think that was proportionate to iran shooting down an unmanned drone. this as democrats weigh in on the president's administration handling of iran. >> a strike of that amount of damage would be very provocative and i'm glad the president did not take that we think there are many options that are not what they culkin net particular, that is to say a strike on the country that might be more useful. but those are options the president is considering. >> harris: power panel now jonathan, former counter-terrorism analyst at the treasury department. michael o'hanlon, foreign policy senior fellow at the brookings institute. michael, i will start with you. so we just recently learned from this new interview with the president, kind of the timing of things. and that in fact, claims were not in the air. but it was a very close

call. >> i'm thought that worried about it. i think president trump made it pretty clear that he was just about to pull the trigger but for this particular incident he held back. and our centerpiece of our strategy towards iran right now as you know is economic. trying to intensify economic pressure. maybe even slightly more than i would advocate. in any ways case, that is the center piece which means that iran is the country that is using violence to try to change the economic dynamics here. and they may come back and use force again. and at that point we may not have the option of withholding fire. but i think the president has indicated he was like, you know, 99% of the way towards pulling the trigger and pulled back. i have no issue with the way in which he has conducted his rhetoric or his preparations this week. but obviously you can't keep holding back indefinitely if iran escalates. >> harris: i had asked four star jack keane on the program earlier whether or

not this was a cancellation or delay. he said at this point it looks like a cancellation because of those sanctions and senator graham said yesterday severe pain inside that country because of sanctions. jonathan, 39 years via proxy and sometimes al fathe altercats that were not proxy. just straight up iran. are we in a position now to better say to iran we are serious? >> absolutely. i think you are absolutely right in pointing out that we now have, you know, basically 40 years of nonstop violence on the part this regime. more than 600 americans killed in action by iran or its proxies. we are certainly justified in responding in a kinetic response. i think that michael is correct that what we have right now is an administration probably sees an an opportunity to work with the international

community to further tighten those sanctions to make iran feel some more economic and political isolation and let's just remember here, we are not on a timetable. we can decide to respond to iranian aggression whenever we wish. and so that could happen today, tomorrow, next week or next month. >> house armed services committee chairman adam schiff said he didn't think it was the best decision for the president to take to twitter this morning about why he called off those retaliatory strikes since then we know that we have obviously heard from him with yobutlet's watch. >> that's not the kind of thing that i think the president should say publicly. this is a decision that he should keep -- he should not be saying stuff like that publicly, it gives -- i wish he was more discreet about what he shared with everybody. >> harris: please forgive me it is smith not schiff. your response, jonathan? >> i think there are a lot

of people who take issue with the president's unconventional style on twitter. i think there is a lot of things he could probably benefit from not sharing via twitter. in this case signaling to the iranians that he is ready to fire upon them and that he made a decision last minute is not the end of the world. i think iran has gotten the message the question is at this time whether they respond to the united states through this channel that has been open with the country of oman or whether they continue with their aggression in the gulf. >> harris: michael, let's move forward now beyond twitter and the president sitting down moments ago with another network the planes weren't in fact in the air. how important is it for the american people to see and hear this much transparency at this point. >> i'm with jonathan. i sort of like it in this situation or at least i have no issue with it. i think that we do want to send, you know, sort of a complex message here that we are not going to be

indifferent to the use of violence against tanker traffic, other commercial traffic or our own military assets in the region. we will also be careful in discriminating and we'll make our decisions about retaliation on a case o. by-case basis as jonathan said in the place of our own choosing. in the international campaign to apply economic pressure again echoing jonathan, we need to make it clean that we are trying to be the reason party here. the administration is going for broke with a very intensive k34eubgs first strategy. to say get forward for that after having pulled out of a nuclear deal that many countries were behind, we will have to seem like the reasonable party that's going through oman not to escalate. this i actually like hearing the president's thought process it actually reinforces our foreign policy effectiveness. >> harris: michael, you say you we want to send a complex message. how much more complex does it get with our national security advisor on the ground next week john bolton

in israel? what are we looking for there? >> it's going to be very interesting. it's also probably worth noting we are seeing interesting noises coming out of germany and england they're leaning more towards the united states and their views the way that iran is acting in the region. that is moving things in the right direction. and now we will have an opportunity to work with the russians to share with them, i think the fact that iran is increasingly isolated and that they need to work with us. and i think that's obviously something that john bolton is going to share and to be sure the israelis are going to share that as well. >> harris: real quickly does the cancellation of military action change that conversation then for all of those allies? michael? >> i think they know that we are capable of pulling the trigger if we so chose. the united states has been at war for 20 years. we are fighting every day in one place or another. >> harris: look, i asked that because after we pulled out of that iran deal a lot of them didn't -- you know, they were still doing business with iran. >> right. so the bigger issue here is persuading them that our

strategy toward iran is not just the americans seeing blood whenever the word iran is mentioned that we can actually being strategic and thoughtful. i think this may help not hurt our ability to bring the allies along. >> harris: michael o'hanlon and -- thank you for being part of the discussion today. the governor of oregon dispute with republican lawmakers. threatening them with fines and potential police action. how did it get to this point? you start with a better hot dog from oscar mayer... that's no way to treat a dog... ...you can do no wrong. where did you learn that? the internet... yeah? mmm! with no artificial preservatives or added nitrates or nitrites, it's all for the love of hot dogs. and i don't add trup the years.s. but what i do count on... is boost® delicious boost® high protein nutritional drink has 20 grams of protein,

it's not any of that. it's not another way for the bank to get your house. and it's also not too good to be true. a reverse mortgage loan is a simple idea, really. you turn your home's equity into cash, and you pay it back when you leave the house. most people use the money to pay off their existing mortgage, or pay some bills, cover medical costs even update their home. and, just as importantly, you still own your home, and you make no monthly mortgage payments. it's a loan designed just for older americans and it's helped hundreds of thousands to live a more stable, secure retirement and stay in the home they love. aag is the leader in reverse mortgages. call us today for your free information kit. it will answer all your questions and help you decide if a reverse mortgage is right for you, and how to qualify. i know what you're thinking. i did too. i felt the same way, but i checked it out,

and i found out a lot more. it's pretty simple. a reverse mortgage from aag can give you the retirement stability you're looking for. maybe you want to check it out. if you're sixty-two or older and own your own home, give aag a call to receive your free imformation kit. you'll receive the imformation you're looking for as well as tell you how much cash you may quality for. and receive your free information kit. so, what's your "better?"

this ijust listen. (vo) there's so much we want to show her. we needed a car that would last long enough to see it all. (avo) subaru outback. ninety eight percent are still on the road after 10 years. come on mom, let's go! >> harris: there is a political standoff in oregon. democratic governor kate browne has authorized state police to go drag lawmakers back to the state capital after republican state senators boycotted a debate and a vote on a climate bill and starting today any lawmaker not at work will incur a $500 fine.
