2:00 am
headquarters in new york. new overnight, president trump reportedly approved air strikes in iran but later called off the operation. rising tensions after speaking on the phone amid tensions of biden's remarks. and a bombshell admission. a witness admitted in court that he killed the prisoner, not the man facing charges. good morning, everybody.
2:01 am
it is friday, june 21. i'm yasmin vossoughian joined by white house correspondent jeff bennett. we begin with the situation in iran. reports that president trump approved air strikes on iran but backed away at the very last minute. the strikes would have been in retaliation against iran shooting down the u.s. military global hawk grown using a surface to air missile. the pentagon released this video showing the smokey trail. the u.s. claims, it was in international airspace. iran claims it was in their waters. telling "the new york times" that officials were expecting a strike as late as 7:00 p.m. last
2:02 am
night adding that the retaliatory operation was under way with planes in the air and ships in position to strike when it was abruptly called off. the white house has declined to comment and says no government officials asked the paper to withhold this article. the u.s. strikes would have been on a handful of targets. >> the u.s. air force says the drone was on, quote, a surveillance mission following recent attacks on oil tankers. tehran's claim it was over their airspace was false adding that the attack was a dangerous and escalating step by iran. >> iran made a big mistake. this drone was in international waters clearly. we have it all documented
2:03 am
science i havicly, not just words. they made a very bad mistake. >> iran's un ambassador sent a letter to the secretary council condemning the u.s. drone operation as, quote, a dangerous and provocative act calling it a play ant reaction to interpreter national law and they have all appropriate rights to take measures and is determined to vigorously defend its land, sea and air. >> joining us from qatar, richard engel. thank you for talking to us this morning. the situation is getting quite tense there, to say the least. the big question is what happens next? >> reporter: there is some relief in this part of the world this morning that this didn't happen.
2:04 am
i think people woke up with surprise reading "the new york times" which cited multiple officials. the attack had begun, planes were in the air only to be call called off at the last minute. is it a call off for good? there are reports there was a secret message exchange as this operation was either being planned or in its final stages before it was called off that the u.s. president trump sent a message through oman to iran citing iranian officials saying the u.s. does not want war, we want talks. writing back to the supreme leader is not interested in
2:05 am
president trump. the idea there were last-minute messages exchanged before the operations were in order adds a new development. >> richard, there is so much uncertainty here, what are you looking for in particular to get a sense of where this whole thing heads to next? >> i think we'll have to hear from the rhetoric today and judge it well by the actions being taken. we are just a few days away from the g 20 summit. there are plenty of hawks in the region pushing for a harder line. there are other countries who do not want to see this escalate. if things don't escalate dramatically, we could see some
2:06 am
diplomatic action. what i would be watching for in the run up is what happens on the ground. are there further escalations or is this an opportunity where people step back and take a breath before the major meeting. >> i think it is going to be a wait and see situation over the next 24 to 48 hours. appreciate it, richard. good talking to you. thank you. let's talk biden and booker. they apparently tried make amends over the controversy following the public spat over biden's comments as you well know on working with segregationist senators. the former vice president called the senator on wednesday night. during their phone call, biden did not ask for an apology and neither candidate offered one to each other. earlier in the day, biden said
2:07 am
he should apologize but biden said booker should apologize and comments he was never called boy by one of those lawmakers. here is booker last night on msnbc. >> he said i should have known better and i feel strongly with what i know that joe biden should not need to be explained to about why that word is so hurtful and something he would find offensive and harmful and not advance like we should hope for for a nominee or leader of our party to advance the cause of racial recognition and get us to a point where we all feel mutually vested in healing a lot of these disparities that exist in our country. we have real race issues in our country. we need leaders, plural, that
2:08 am
can bring folks together, deepen empathy and begin to work on a lot of the issues that have deep scared legacies in our country. >> booker said the call lasted about 15 to 20 minutes and called the talks constructive. joining us now from washington is gabby orr, white house reporter for politico. put this in context. on tuesday, you had president trump who refused to apologize for saying the five should stay in jail and then you have joe biden the next day. gef us a sense of how you think this is going to play out next week when all these democrats will be on the debate stage?
2:09 am
>> first, joe biden is almost emulating donald trump in a sense. he's out on the campaign trail saying things about his heyday in the senate. he's nostalgic for an era a lot of americans don't think should be played into. often the times that got him into the most trouble. that's what we are seeing happen to joe biden right now. the second thing, he will be on the debate stage later next week with a lot of the 2020 candidates who have already criticized him about comments he made about working with these two segregationist senators. he will be on the stage with a number of the leading candidates who will likely target the vice president over these comments and other things that have to do
2:10 am
with criminal justice reform, racial reconciliation, things he will have to answer for. it will be difficult and really a moment we'll hear from joe biden and see if he can move past a lot of these issues. >> it is interesting with biden's refusal to apologize. given the current president, i don't think we've ever heard him apologize or anything. i want to get to iran for a minute here. the approval of the strikes and then backing off. what i think is very important is the fact that government officials did not ask "the new york times" to withhold printing this story. what do you make of all this? >> i was texting this morning who said it is slightly concerning when the president of the united states is the one to exercise restraint through all of this. he had his national security
2:11 am
advisor john bolton in his ear through the entire decisioning making process urging the president to strike back, urging him to pursue some type of consequences but he's been watching other outside advisors speaking to people, watching television, cable news and allies urging him to take a step back. i think at the last moment, we saw the president took their advise over his own national security advisors. it will be interesting to see. these strikes are not off the table. they very well could happen today or tomorrow. >> gabby, thank you. i'll talk to you again in a little bit. still ahead, a courtroom shocker. a witness in the trial of a navy seal takes the blame for the killing of a teenaged isis

2:16 am
of premeditated murder calling it, quote, an act of mercy. saying he blocked the boy's breathing tube with his thumb because he believed those that captured and delivered him would eventually torture him. this is shocking. what does this mean for gallagher? >> as much as this appears like a bombshell, it may ultimately not be as significant or exonerate the chief on trial here because number one, witnesses do go south, particularly cooperating witnesses. you know the old adage, snichs get stitches. this is a different situation but even if true, this witness's
2:17 am
testimony is that number one, he did see the chief stab a helpless helpless sedated teenager that was not enough. he went over and covered over the breathing tube so it would kill the sedated fighter. it paints him as a killer even with immunity but a killer nonetheless but it shows that the actions of the chief could have been a cause of death. he may not have delivered the killing blow but it was an attempt to kill. >> cory scott who made this admission, you mentioned he has immunity, does that mean he gets off scott free? >> he could still be disciplined, discharged. in terms of prosecution immunity, yes. as long as his agreement is for
2:18 am
complete immunity, he cannot be charged. if that leaves that kind of protection for him, that may have been an error on the part of the prosecutors in drafting that form of the agreement. >> how out of the box was it for the judge to accuse him of lying in court? >> that is unusual. the reality is by the time a witness gets to court, prosecutors get their testimony many times. that has happened to me, when a witness goes south, the first thing they do is confront the witness what the inconsistent statements they made. do you remember when you told me this story and now you are deviating. there is certainly going to be some prior testimony to confront him or her with. >> thank you for your time this morning. we appreciate it. let's get a check on the weather now with janessa web.

welcome back, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian along white house correspondent jeff bennett in washington, d.c. we'll start with the latest on increasingly tense situation in iran. trump who was hosting canadian prime minister trudeau at the white house yesterday said he did not believe it was intentional. >> i think probably iran made a mistake. i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down. i have a feeling, i may be wrong and i may be right but i'm right a lot. i have a feeling it was a mistake by someone who shouldn't be doing what they did. i think somebody under the command of that country made a
2:30 am
mistake. >> are you saying, you don't think it was intentional. >> i don't know. i find it hard to believe it was intentional. i think it was maybe somebody loose and stupid that did it. >> the u.s. global hawk drone was not manned, a point the president said was key to all of this. >> we'll find out. fortunately that drone was -- there was no man in it. it was over international waters, clearly. we didn't have a man or woman in the drone. would have made a big difference, let me tell you. how judiciary chairman has released the transcripts of this week's closed door interview with hope hicks. revealing lawyers blocked hicks from answering questions by lawmakers 155 times during the
2:31 am
roughly seven-hour interview. hicks was accompanied by two private attorneys, three lawyers from the white house and a lawyer from the department of justice. democrats say there were a number of objections such as when democrats asked hicks about the recusal after sessions from the fbi probe and prevented hicks from sharing where her desk was in the west wing in relation to the global office citing her claim of immunity during her time working in the white house. president trump has made 126 visits to his property delivering $1.6 million in revenue to his private business. current and former white house staffers tell the post that president has even suggested holding next year's group of
2:32 am
seven gathering of world leaders at one of his luxury resorts. one-third of donor meetings trump has attended. 23 out of 63 have happened at one of his properties. gop fundraisers tell the post that they do that in part to increase the chances trump will actually attend. officials said some of his aids including those inside the white house office worried about the apperence he was using the power of the presidency to direct taxpayer money into his pocket but trump has rebuffed such things. the president has blocked the sale of billions of dollars of guns to saudi arabia. putting a pause on the attempt to bypass congress using emergency authorities to
2:33 am
complete the deals. seven republicans broke from their party to disapprove of the sales to saudi arabia. five voted other measures to vario various middle eastern countries. trump pledged to veto the legislation. one day after releasing the report which distinctly tied the saudi government to the death of columnist jamal khashoggi. roy moore announces he will run for the senate in 2020. >> i will run for the senate in 2020. can i win? yes, i can win. not only can i, they know i can. that's why there is such option. i would have won the last election if it were not for the false tactics used. >> the controversial moore was
2:34 am
defeated. his campaign was undercut after nine women came forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct when they were teenagers. moore continues to deny those allegations. president trump and others have openenly called for moore not to run again and are actively looking for someone to run against him. that does not seem to phase moore. >> why are you going against president trump's wishes? >> i am not going against him at all. i support for president trump. whether he votes for me or not, we'll see. i'm sure he will. >> joining us again, white house reporter for politico. let's discuss this roy moore run, which the president didn't even support. how could this hurt the chances
2:35 am
of keeping the senate majority come 2020? >> if senate republicans are able to get a victory in alabama, that will force senate democrats to win at least four more seats. it will be a huge step forward for republicans in terms of maintaining their control. this would normally be a very easy seat for republicans to pick up. the reasonable reason they lost it in 2017 was because of roy moore. now to see that he's back in this race has disgusted a lot of republicans on capitol hill. if you look at the reporting from yesterday, you could just tell among republicans who have watched the campaign and the way it unfolded and watched him defy president trump who specifically requested that he not run in this primary, they have vowed to
2:36 am
do everything possible to find another candidate and ensure he gets nowhere near the senate. it would be in their best interest to get the president on board with that effort as well. >> let's shift gears here, earlier, we talked about iran. let's talk about saudi arabia specifically the senate rebuking the president's attempt to sell military equipment to saudi arabia. >> it is interesting, if you look at the republicans that voted with the democrats here, you saw a number of the president's biggest allies and golf partners. lindsay graham was in that bunch, rand paul, senator paul from kentucky talked about jamal khashoggi in a floor speech prior to siding with democrats on this rebuke. i think this is another area where you have strong disagreement between republican senators and the administration
2:37 am
over their handling not only of the response of the death of jamal khashoggi in saudi arabia but also to their foreign policy choices and to the president's response and interpretations with the saudi government. >> gabby, thank you for your time. president trump is vowing to help canada in the very tense diplomatic stand off with china. what they have seen as insufficient support after they arrested a huawei executive. the president welcomed the prime minister yesterday to tout the new trade pack and said they would talk when they meet at the g20 submit next week.

>> the prime minister trudeau scored a basket of treats from house speaker nancy pelosi. he won that bet that raptors would beat the warriors. during the news conference, he presented trudeau with a basket of california wine and chocolates and the prime minister later gave her a basket of raptor's swag, the team beat the warriors 114-110 in game six to win the first ever nba title. >> those treat baskets look good. still ahead, smart phones have transformed the way but they may have been transforming our bodies as well. how devices are creating horn-like spikes in the sculls of some is people. >> your first look at "morning

can't focus on free stuff like free college and totally rebu rebuking medicare for all. so they're totally nervous that he'll be the nominee and end all the things that they care about and not be able to beat donald trump. >> you had some reporting about elizabeth warren, who is so often seen as the closest candidate ideologically to bernie sanders that she gets a pass with these moderates, why is that? >> in 2013 or 2014, elizabeth warren had a public meeting with elizabeth warren and she won and shut them down. they were saying her message is more of a democratic capitalist method while they're saying that bernie sanders is a full-blown
2:57 am
socialist. they think bernie sanders is someone who is sort of blowing things up for them. >> are they using her conservative path, the fact that she used to be a republican, are they using that in the calculus at all? >> they haven't. that's a really good point. it's surprising they haven't mentioned that but they sort of use her as a contrast to bernie sanders, they think he is so bad that it gives her a pass. >>it looks like trump has deported fewer immigrants than president obama. break down the numbers for us. >> between twine and 2011, under obama administrations, ice had deported between 385,000 and 400,000 plus immigrants from the country. meanwhile donald trump has never deported more than i think 2
2:58 am
280,000 folks from the company. president trump has this bombastic and harsh rhetoric on immigration and pledges to deport millions and millions of people but these numbers show the results behind that and the way that rhetoric is a political play for his base. >>given the run-up to 2020 and that is going to be talked about a lot, could we see an uptick in the amount of deportations? >> he talked about this in 2016, we heard him talk about deporting millions and millions of immigrants, i think we're going to see him definitely crack down on that. whether he's successful remains to be seen. we know based on when he's saying this week alone he wants to deport even more folks than he already has. >> alexi mccammond, thank you
2:59 am
for your roariur reporting. >> that does it for us this morning. i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside geoff bennett. "morning joe" starts right now. >> iran made a big mistake. this drone was in national waters. we have it all documented, it's documented scientifically, not just words. they made a very bad mistake. >> reporter: [ inaudible ]. >> you'll find out. >> unfortunately that drone was unarmed. there was no man in it. it was over international waters, clearly over international waters, we didn't have a man or woman in the drone, had nobody in the drone. would have made a big difference, will the me tell you, would have made a big, big difference. i think probably iran made a mistake. i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down. i have a feeling, i may be wrong
3:00 am
and i may be right but i'm right a lot. i have a feeling it was a mistake by somebody who shouldn't have been doing what they did. i think they made a mistake. i'm not talking just somebody made a mistake, i'm saying somebody under the command of that country. i find it hard to believe it was intentional. it could have been somebody that was loose and stupid that did it. >> loose and stupid, the title of my upcoming autobiography. that was president trump speaking yesterday at the white house. we've learned that president trump approved air strikes in iran but backed away at the last minute. it's friday, june 21st. we have jonathan lemire, john heilemann, also in gray. also
