the conversation on twitter at howard kurtz, we would like to reach out on all platforms as they say, remember, we will be back here next sunday, 11:00 eastern with the latest buzz. ♪ >> iran defying the international community saying it will enrich uranium beyond the limits and prepare to enrich it, quote, at any level. hello, welcome to america's news headquarters i'm arthel neville. >> i'm mike emmanuel in for eric sean. the u.s. was a signee, tehran's latest threats are a sign of maximum pressure campaign is working. >> they are desperate, bear in mind their economy is shrinking 6 to 10% this year, inflation is
9:01 am
at 40% and president trump is doing exactly what he ought to be doing with keeping the pressure on on those sanctions and making certain that the regime realizes we know what they're up to. and we have fox team coverage in all of this, gillian turner has the latest reaction from washington but we begin with trey, live in middle east bureau. >> iran is set to break another commitment in iran nuclear deal by surpassing the uranium enrichment threshold, officials in tehran said they are going to pass the threshold tomorrow morning, surpassing 3.67% bringing iran close the other weapon's grade material. the officials added that iran plans to break a new commitment every 60 days unless remaining parties in nuclear deal find a way for tehran to get around u.s. sanctions or decides to get back into the agreement.
9:02 am
>> the reason we are starting second step in reducing commitments from jcpoa today is europe and other members could not meet our demands especially in the field of oil and bringing back, they haven't been able to do anything with it. >> germany, france and britain have released statements about enrichment news, emmanuel macron has been in touch with iranian president rouhani. since the united states pulled out of nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions on iran, the economy has suffered greatly. foreign minister called u.s. actions, quote, economic terrorism before adding that breach of the agreement can be reversed, now this news of iran enriching uranium passed the threshold outcome amid tensions of the united states, iran or iranian proxies blamed for oil infrastructure this summer, led the united states to prepare for the potential of a military
9:03 am
confrontation in the region, arthel. arthel: trey, thank you very much, mike. >> latest provocation, team fox coverage continues with gillian turner live in washington. >> iran's government says just a matter of hours from now it will breach the core terms set out in landmark 2015 nuclear deal of which today the uk, france, germany, russia and china are still members, specifically they say they'll enrich uranium, the key ingredient in developing nuclear fuel above levels agreed to by all parties including originally the united states, it'll be the first time iran breaks with the deal according to nuclear inspectors and america's allies in the region, no word today from the trump administration but reaction here in washington is breaking down along partisan lines, republicans insist the trump team has got everything under control. >> they've been breaching
9:04 am
uranium. donald trump has been consistent in saying stop the spread of terrorism and make certain that iran does not have nuclear weapon and that is the goal and we are going to continue to support that. gillian: democrats put the blame squarely on president trump's shoulders. >> but when donald trump became president iran was no longer 2 to 3 years from breaking out to nuclear weapon, 2 or 3 months, they were more than a year from being able to break out nuclear weapon based on our intel, based on what the israelis said, now they are enriching again. >> iran's government is blaming the united states as well as european a motions for failing to live up to their end of the bargain, now, under the existing terms of the nuclear deal, the breach by iran should be met by the europeans with snapback sanctions, immediate and harsh penalties intend today coerce the regime back within the framework of the deal, now the ball is on the european nation's courts since the trump administration pulled the administration out of the deal
9:05 am
year ago. >> thanks, a lot. arthel. >> retired member of the u.s. army and author of the book rallying point, colonel, thanks for joining us. >> thanks, arthel, great to be with you. >> all right, thank you, sir, listen, iran is saying we will fire up enrichment facilities with levels passed in nuclear deal and this was done since president trump did not lift sanctions on their economy and top officials, meanwhile president rouhani and french president macron just yesterday agree today find a way to resume talks july 15th, i want to start with macron, did he do the right thing? >> actually i think that's helpful. i think that we, the united states, we have the right goals, we want iran to change their foreign policy, no nukes, no terrorism, we have the right approach which is isolation, maximum pressure through the sanctions and quite frankly iran's move today actually moves
9:06 am
the diplomatic advantage towards us and here is why, you know, europe made no secret to the fact that they were not happy about our move last year, but with tehran's move, europe now, all the leaders are saying that they -- their support was contingent on iran not enriching, staying within the framework, so iran basically just hurt their own interest and i think that having the talks with macron now, starting this week is a good pressure valve, a way for us to back-channel with them, important that we stick to our goals and stick to our method and if we do ultimately we will achieve our goal. arthel: yesterday iran threatened the uk saying they should be, quote, scared of possible retaliation that after the british royal marines captured that iranian super tank trying to ship oil to syria violating the eu sanctions, so now president trump, as he
9:07 am
watches, what should president trump do next? >> well, i think the important thing is not to panic, again, we have the right goals, the right approach, we should continue our diplomacy all throughout including with these leaders in the eu, they are key and iran knows this too, the whole play is about getting the eu to force the united states to back off the sanctions, as you're reporting earlier indicating, these sanctions are having a devastating impact on iran and particularly the grip of the leadership inside iran and they want them lifted and so this is a gambit to try to get the eu to move with united states, the eu leadership is moving against iran. what trump needs to do is welcome talks with macron and in return ask the european lead toaster reinforce rouhani and the leadership that we are open to a negotiation, we want a better deal.
9:08 am
what is that better deal? well, shouldn't have the timelines that the initial deal, we want a permanent rejection of nukes from iran and we want verification, real verification and then finally, we want to link this to them stopping the exporting of violence, stop the terrorism, so i would argue this, when you lay that out for the international community to say why is the united states doing this, what are they endeavoring to do, they don't want iran to have nukes or export terrorism, most people are going to be like, that seems pretty reasonable, what does iran wants, iran wants to continue to do what they are doing and economically benefit, who is right here? we are right. >> and you say that those points you layed out, does that call for colonel scrapping of the current nuclear deal or revising what's in place with those points that you've made? >> we can get a better, we can build on this, i believe that we are in the right place that we can actually get a revision of this so that we can get a
9:09 am
permanent rejection of their nuclear program from iran with verifications and then link it to the stopping of terrorism. arthel: i'm just asking, pardon me, sir, i know that president trump, listen, let's get rid of the current deal that's on the table, we need a new deal in place and i'm asking you based on the points that you layed out, does that call entirely new deal yes or no or can we revise what's already in place? >> well, look, this is mostly semantics and the key about diplomacy is luig -- allowing a win-win and ensuring that iran never has nuclear program with iron-clad verification along with stopping of terrorism, if they want to call that a revision, we would be fine with that, what we want europe to pivot hard because viewers know that europe set up a vehicle to get around our sanctions last year and we want them to stop that and actually join on our side and force iran to change
9:10 am
foreign policy. it's in iran's best interest too. >> i want to say how so but i want to move on, other signatories on the deal are russia and china, will they support president trump and will they support iran by doing business with them? >> well, look, when you get into the details of agreement, that's part of the reason why we have problem with current agreement, when i talk about iron-clad verification, if it's one of them -- if we suspect one of military sites is involved in enrichment or some other illegal activity, we have to put iran on notice and essentially they can delay us and then when we bring this to the signatories it only takes one country who signed on to the agreement to not support us, russia, russia right now is supporting iran, you see why -- many of us think that the current agreement was no good for us. so with regard to going forward,
9:11 am
look, iran wants a peaceful this and they want to be able to continue to secure their regime, they need to understand that it's the only way they can get to their best interest is to get to an agreement that's one that we can live with. arthel: i think you're saying that you need to have an agreement revised or a new agreement in place that would call for more than one of those signatories to go against the u.s. in order for iran to say, guess, what everybody is pulling out of this including the u.s., they are not following the rules so we are not going to either? >> yes, on the verification, the agency, the international agency that is responsible for that should be able to go anywhere at any time unannounced and if iran is complying with framework they shouldn't worry about that that needs to be part of the change and also timeline, 10, 15-year timeline is unacceptable either, we want long-term commitment. finally, arthel, we want to connect this with stopping of
9:12 am
terrorism because we think that's in the best interest of the region. >> absolutely, colonel gibson, thank you very much, pleasure to talk to you and thank you very much for your service as well, sir. >> thank you, best wishes to everybody. >> people in southern california still reeling after 2 powerful back to back earthquakes rocked the region with clean-up efforts underway, governor newsom says president trump has assured him that the federal government committed to help with the recovery. hello, jeff. >> yeah, mike, folks are being very nervous as we continue to feel the aftershocks here in the city of ridgecrest, they have been mostly nag nit uid 2's or 3's, there was a magnitude 4 earlier this morning and seismologists say those can continue in the coming weeks, several are representturing in the nearby city of trona, very close to the epicenter, we got to see activity in the town from
9:13 am
powerful magnitude earthquake. several homes remain damage and look at what we found. roads close due to powerful earthquakes, you can see the crack on the road extends over 2 lanes of traffic and several feet and the situation might only get worse as the aftershocks continue. california governor gavin newsom out in area, he estimates $100 million in economic damage, he called on president trump for federal help in recovery which newsom says the 2 have already spoken about. >> we don't agree on everything but one area where there's no politics, where we've worked extraordinarily well together is on emergency response recovery and increasing that emergency
9:14 am
preparedness and this is -- this is consistent with that relationship. >> now, after the first earthquake that happened on fourth of july, the police here at ridgecrest felt the community dodged a bullet and started recovery effort and had massive powerful earthquake on friday, saturday was one of the first day where we didn't see powerful earthquakes. >> hopefully they can get a break, arthel. arthel, well, sports news in the headlines today as the women's world cup final is underway in france, the u.s. going up against netherlands. tough game. >> we are coming to you actually from a sweaty, noisy sports bar

supposed to do, the fact that we have fallen into the point where we are talking about it like it's news tells you how far that we have fallen in the enforcement side. >> all of this as the administration remains under heavy fire for the conditions at border detention centers. >> there's adequate food and water, because i know what our standards are and i know they are being followed because we have tremendous levels of oversight. >> what he was saying is contradictive, literally every single woman confirmed what the one woman said, i asked for water and they said go drink it from the toilet. >> arthel. arthel: all right, thank you very much, ellison barber, right now we have to interrupt this with some sports news, good news, in fact, 1-0 now, usa, team usa scored a penalty kick

9:29 am
tune just a bit, you remember last month he refused to apologize after he faced heat from pointing to his work with segregationist senators as example of working with those who he disagreed with, the comments came back to bite him from kamala harris criticizing biden for it and that became one of the debates most memorable moments, now after slipping in the polls, biden is apologizing for his comments, here he is at an event in south carolina saturday. [inaudible] >> yes, i was, i regret it and i'm sorry for any pain or misconception this may have caused.

9:31 am
mike. >> candidates releasing second-quarter fundraising totals, south bend mayor pete buttigieg surpassing basically the field raising more more than than vice president joe biden who has lost some support since first democratic debate last month, kamala harris raising $12 million but still way behind by pete buttigieg and bernie sanders. doug and brad blakeman, former deputy assistant to former expect george bush. >> glad to be here. >> brad, if you're advising president trump, how did you lay out the state for 2020 race at the very early stage? >> i think he's doing great, i think right now the fundraising is through the roof, he's raising more money than possibly all the democrats combined and right now my advise to the president, hit the road, mr. president, after labor day, don't stop, get your message that you're keeping promises, you're delivering for the people
9:32 am
and the alternative of democrats is a socialist democratic policy that is going to turn america back, they are going the raise your taxes and they are going to pander and appease to enemies and adversaries and that's not what america wants. >> doug, you have broken down numbers for prominent politicians over the years, looking ahead, president trump versus 2020 dems, how do you analyze the 2020 campaign as of today? >> well, look, as of today the statistical tide with sanders, harris and pete buttigieg, that's all good for the president. joe biden has 10% over the president and the president except on the economy is under water, so what i would say to my fellow democrats is, look, you have to stay on the attack, but principally against him and not one another, brad is right, if the democrats move too far to the left, they will be hurt, you
9:33 am
heard brad talk about socialism and that's the republican line, joe biden, i think, is where the democrats need to be but unfortunately the left-wing of the party and primaries is descendant and that's why you see the move towards medicare for all, getting rid of health care, private healthcare and like the new deal on climate and the like, so i think the democrats are in a decent position but clearly the president by numbers in the polls and fundraising is clearly moving up. >> the really good news for kamala harris is she's polling pretty well but her fundraising is lackluster, should her poll numbers start helping her campaign coffers, doug? >> yeah, let's tune in the third quarter, i think she's gone up about 7 or 8 points given her attacks on joe biden, the question now is can she translate it into money and does she have an agenda of change on
9:34 am
her own other than attacking the former vice president. >> mayor pete crushing in fundraising, means he isn't going anywhere any time soon, how does he boost his polling, perhaps by using some of the money, brad? >> absolutely, you can -- cant have a campaign without cash and it's how you spend the money, look at hillary, she wasted the money she raised and donald trump was smart in the investments that his campaign made, so it's not how much you have, it's how you spend it but you can't do well unless you have it. >> doug, considering record low unemployment, strong job's report on friday, stock market is solid, should president trump be cruising easily to reelection? >> well, let's just say i think his numbers should be higher than they are. i think what he needs to do is talk about the issues, stay away from personality and like you did, mike, talk about his record
9:35 am
and focus on the future, rather than attacks or personality that really don't add to the process. i think there's every reason to believe that he has a lot of potential in the numbers still if he can stay on message and not get distracted. >> at some point it won't be 20-something democrats, it would be one-on-one, right? >> exactly. >> is the massive field of democrats giving the american people alternative much of the people would want or appealing to the base so far? >> strategy among democrats, you to be elected by the party to be elected by the people and the warning that doug gave is quite true, the more left you go, it's harder to come back to the middle or even close to left of center in general election, so they can find somebody who is selectable and they turn out to be unelectable because they are not where the american people are in their far-left socialist policies. >> doug, what's your advice to
9:36 am
president trump if he were asking for it at the stage in. >> talk the economy, talk the future, talk jobs, talk growth, and most of all, try to move to an inclusive strategy, the us them approach that he's used only gets you so far but he wants to win a majority and to win a majority he ought to talk about how his policies benefit all americans, how all americans will benefit from border security, economic growth and the like and so far he's been more divisive and polarizing than i think it should be and i think it's self-destructive for him. >> brad, i know the president loves twitter to speak directly to the american people but some people may not care for the tactic, your thoughts and should he refine some things heading into this campaign? >> look, you can always do things a little better u but with the president it's all about the balancing of rhetoric versus results. there are some people who may not like the rhetoric, but they sure like results and campaign
9:37 am
slogan of promises made and promises kept is accurate one, he kept promises, delivering results and, you know, nothing is better in a campaign than having a record you can run on, the president has it. >> final moment we have here, gentlemen, i want to get your take, is it bad news for joe biden that we are not voting for more than 6 months? >> yeah, it is. look, he's come down, i thought he's recovered reasonably well with the interviews, he's done his apology, i think he can now move forward but clearly between abortion and segregation, this is not been a good few weeks for him and the longer this goes the more potential and i underscore potential there is for him to come down, he needs to find some issues, talk about the future himself and move past these two controversies. >> brad, briefly. >> i think the democratic party has long past joe biden, he's been in public office now close
9:38 am
to 50 years and i don't think he recognizes his party and if he tries to morph himself in to a more democratic socialist which seems to be the popular move by the younger democrats, i don't think he can do it. >> brad blakeman, gentlemen, thank you so much. >> thank you. arthel: right now millions of americans are glued to tv sets watching the u.s. play the the netherlands u score now 2-0, jacqui heinrich has assignment of the day, watch party in new york city, jacqui, did the crowd go wild there? >> oh, my gosh, arthel, it was electric in here. the u.s. women's has scored first 12 minutes, it was a nail-biter leading to 60th minute, goal, crowd went wild,

9:41 am
just picked up from there. >> what do you think will happen in the rest of the game, who will be the shining player? >> oh, man, it's hard to say that they'll be any player that shines than repino, she's in the news, living her best moment, great to see her play and game sending and she's been out, we will see really strong defensive push to hold netherlands off, great game. >> we are watching and waiting for a win. >> they are in it. definitely, let's hear for the girls, all right, jacqui, thank you. mike. >> arthel, 2020 democrats unhappy with conservative majority in supreme court have an idea to fix it, change the number of justices more on that next. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast...
