now, the doctor was actually inside the room when president trump decided to recertify iran's compliancked him did he have any trepidation about this decision. take a listen. did the president have trepidation about this decision? there's report. >> i wouldn't use the word trepidation. i was in the room. it was just a very robust discussion and the president said repeatedly this is a bad deal. however, we have to recertify the deal as inherited but that doesn't mean that that deal stands in perpetuity. >> reporter: now, meanwhile back at home, he mentioned at the top of the hit republicans are trying to manage the fallout of not having a vote and they're also trying to redirect the conversation to tax reform and the budget. take a listen to speaker paul ryan earlier today. >> set the stage tour fax reform we're working on balanced budget. i want to commend her for her leadership and i want to commend the members of the budget committee for putting this bill together. this plan means more jobs and more growth arc stronger national defense, real reforms to the way the federal government s

next speak to trump recertifying iran nuclear deal it, after repeatedly condemning it in the past. e, the trump administration has admitted iran is in compliance with the terms of the landmark, 2015 nuclear deal. earlier on "america's newsroom," john bolton said, that is just the bureaucracy talking, and president trump can still pull out of the deal. >> i think the president knows exactly what he wants to do, and i think it is time for the rest of the bureaucracy to get with the program. six months into the administration, it is time for decisive action. >> let's bring in rich edson. rich, they are already bringing up new sanctions against iran? >> after hours at the same they are compliant, the administration, they are sanctioning 18 individuals for the ballistic missile programs. and the islamic revolutionary guard corps. these sanctions are separate from those related to the iran nuclear deal. those were lifted and remained so for now. senior administration officials are saying, the trump administration will live with the iran nuclear deal for now. the officials say they will pu

. >> julie: the iran nuclear deal was signed two years ago, president trump is now set to recertify itfter criticizing it on the campaign trail. plus, a new senate bill fails to hit the sweet spot for some g.o.p. lawmakers. what will it take to reach a deal? house speaker ryan urging his colleagues to keep working on a compromise. >> the senate is going to give us a health care bill, we are going to stay and finish the health care bill. show me winter in july. epic battles. ferocious families. dangerous dragons. experience game of thrones and all the rest of hbo for free from july 10th through the 16th with xfinity on demand. from action, to comedy, to drama. this summer hbo and xfinity have you covered. and catch the game of thrones season 7 premiere on july 16th. winter is coming to xfinity. >> leland: president trump demanding action on health care as the battle heats up in the senate. republicans are releasing a revised plan but there are still divisions within the party that threatened to derail its passage, while democrats remain opposed to any obamacare replacement so far. >> th

that during the campaign and they have said it -- david: so why are they then moving towards recertifying iran they're caught. reality i don't believe there is unequivocal evidence that iran is cheating. and, number two, they have got another half a dozen countries that are sigtores to this deal. i believe the at administration at some point will walk away from the deal. they want to take the other countries with them. they don't want it a unilateral thing on their part. you want the world with them. you don't want to give iran moral high ground in any shape or form. i think that is where the administration is. david: just end it with this, seems as though the deal was so poorly constructed it gives tremendous latitude for iranians to get away with a lot of stuff, they're getting away with it, according to the deal, they have to be recertified, am i right? >> that is correct. listen, we know the iranians will cheat. they're probably likely cheating right now. david: right. >> we just don't have the goods on them yet to be able to prove it to everybody. eventually we will get there with that. i

is set slapping new sanctions on iran that targeted ballistic missile programs and support for terror organizations. but the administration is also reluctantly recertifyinghailand's compliance with the 2015 nuke deal. while blasting iran for violating the spirit of the agreement. the moves all come after iran's sentencing of a graduate student to ten years on espionage charges. this is a need for iran to say that. but trump was very critical of the iran deal. i understand why he can't back out of it. do you understand? >> i'm not sure he's not going to yet. the reason why the recertification happened is there is a timeline. you have to recertify, or it begins to dismantle itself. they recertified but i will guarantee you with the last molecule and my body that they are talking about ways to blow this deal up and start over. >> that's difficult because this isn't just us in the united states bread this involves many other countries but >> that's right. i think that's it makes it so complicated. with that being said i wish we could just withdraw from the iranian nuclear deal. they're saying that there is a comprehensive review of u.s. policy toward iran. t

the president himself saying that tillerson was wrong in recertifying iran as complying, according toll the weapons inspectors around the world in complying with the limited frame work of the nuclear agreement and saying the next time this comes up in 90 days that won't be the case. >> i think if you're mattis or tillers tillerson, you may be thinking you have an ally that you can go to. and i think the question is whether or not that works, the president allows that to work, he winds up really listening to kelly and whether he empowers him to make decisions and so we just don't really know at this stage. >> with the new chief of staff, josh, what happens to speechwriters, the whole communications staff should be reporting to the chief of staff and that's where the discipline needs to be imposed, most famously with the speech to the boy scouts and the law enforcement speech. >> there's a lot of those in the security establishment, that simply having a law and order disciplinary like general kelly will have all those processes move smoother. i think the hope is that general kelly is br

was made after president trump reportedly had a contentious meeting with rex tillerson, who recertified iran'spliance with the nuclear deal. as a presidential candidate, donald trump promised to rip up the iran nuclear deal, calling it the worst you'll ever. for more, we're joined by ervand abrahamian, a retired professor of history at baruch college, city university of new york. he is the author of several books, including "the coup: 1953, the cia, and the roots of modern u.s.-iran relations." we welcome you to democracy now! start off by responding t to wht just happenened last w week. trump certified in the deal and saying he is increasing sanctitions, now looking howow o sanction iran more. >> to borrow his own word am it is "sad." it is an incoherent policy. the idea -- before he was going to tear up the whole agreement, and has discovered it is far more complicated than ththat. it is an agreement between iran and not just the u.s., but the major economies of the world. if the u.s. once to pull out -- wants to pull out or at sanctions, what iran will do is go ahead with itss own policy of

infighting going on there, the fight with iran which is ongoing, and even though the president recertified iraneal. he said bad people have to take care of their bad things. we may find ourselves inadvertently marching down to war to protect those interests. >> ambassador wendy sherman, i have one other question that i want to ask you. could you stay here for just a moment? it is about this second meeting between president trump and president putin that was not disclosed by the white house. could you stick around? >> yes. >> she joins us for the interview. she'll be with us when we get right back. and now it's finall the mercedes-benz summer event is back, with incredible offers on the mercedes-benz you've always longed for. but hurry, these shooting stars fly by fast. lease the c300 for $399 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. its witnessed 2 diy duos,s 31 crashes,: 4 food fights, and the flood of '09. it's your paradise perfected with behr premium plus paint. the best you can buy starting under $25. only at the home depot. ♪ mom. ♪ ♪ where all the w

bush. >>> and the trump administration has unveiled new sanctions against iran just one day after recertifyingce with the terms of the iran nuclear deal. the new sanctions, though, are not related to iran's nuclear activity but, rather, it's ballist iic missiles program. it undercuts any positive contributions from the landmark nuclear deal. >>> now, back to health care with precious few legislative accomplishments, the president's ability to make deals is in question after the failure of health care reform. now, the president did not embark on major tours to sell the plan. it gave very little tours touting its virtues. yesterday, he told the press he was disappointed at the outcome and republicans who are poised to vote no. >> i'm sitting in the oval office right next door, pen in hand, waiting to sign something. and i'll be waiting. and eventually, we're going to get something done and it's going to be very good. >> and yet "the new york times" cites a staffer who said the president was, quote, growing bored in selling the bill. and there's some level of surprise that the white house experie

my reporting, he's frustrated, the president criticizing him in the "wall street journal" for recertifying iranthe nuclear agreement and him saying next time he's going to do it himself because he's sure they really aren't obeying it. >> yeah. >> they have already taken the middle east policy away from him. that's green blat, special envoy of the white house. jared kushner is interfering in all of this persian gulf policy. what does the secretary of state do? >> well, i think the first problem is, you have a lot of these policy disputes, which are -- some of them serious. serious questions like the recertification of iran and what the u.s.-iran relationship should look like, playing out in the twitter-sphere instead of in the sit room. and i think that's a part of the challenge we're seeing, obviously with the attorney general, as well. you also have the fact that you have so many near-term crises bubbling up at once. you have the crisis in the persian gulf between qatar and our allies, saudi arabia and the uae. greater confrontation with iran, north korea inching closer and closer to the abili

recertified every 90 days, cert faying to congress iran is living their end of the deal. 90 days ago they did that. yesterday they did that, but it was so delayed. there was, you know, nothing coming out of the state department that we all wondered what was up. now we know from an administration source that the president seriously considered not recertifying the iran nuclear deal meaning we would not be living up to our end of the bargain if we didn't certify it because of what we saw iran doing and the whole thing would fall apart. we know the president, according to the source, was listening to other voices within the white house saying that iran was not living up to their end of the deal, but there didn't seem to be hard evidence of that. what the administration finally did at the 11th hour was certify that, yes, iran was living up to their end of the deal, but they imposed more sanctions, said iran was not living up to the spirit of the deal, because it does do other destabilizing behavior, but that was always kept separate from the nuclear deal

iran. president trump recertified that iran was abiding by the nuclear deal from the obama administration but slapping the country with new sanctions. rich edson at the state department with latest. reporter: good afternoon, david. the state department just announced it is sanctioning a dozen iranian entities and individuals for support of the iran ballistic missile program and the iran revolutionary guard corps. the state department spokesperson, heather nauert wrote, united states will continue to use sanctions to target those who lend to iran's destablizing behavior. above all the united states will never allow the regime in iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. the treasury department announced sanctions against two iranian businessmen and associates stealing u.s. software from companies and selling that to the iranian government. the state department announced sanctions just hours after it certified for the second time that iran was in compliance with the nuclear agreement. the administration officials say the united states will continue to adhere to the nuclear agreement will it continues i

iran where foreign nationals are are arrested. they often undergo closed-door trials and are convicted with long prison sentences without due process. news of the arrest comes as president trump is expected to recertify that iran is complying with guidelines set by that nuclear deal reached two years ago and with president obama. and with president trump on the campaign, and promise to tear up. and laughter is thefide iran is living up to its commitment under the agreement in april. at the time the president said iran was quote not living up to the spirit of the agreement. an official said the president is taking cues from secretary of state rex tillerson who argued that while the deal sim perfect, staying in the deal is the best way to verify iranian compliance and iran's nuclear activity. iran the continue to get sanctions released in the deal but the deal is under review by a process led by the national security council and state department. that review should be complete by the end of the summer. officials said the administration appears to be moving towards the policy of staying in the deal but strengthening implementation and monitoring iran's nuclear activities while cracking down on other act

iran in a more muscular way as you say. they just were embarrassed because they recertified the iran nuclear deal, they are under great pressure from conservatives to say president trump during the campaign said he was going to rip up the deal. the administration thinks they need a little bit more time to rip up the nuclear deal, what comes next. it's a reminder, similar to the obamacare debate, you're going to repeal it what are you going to replace it with? >> jesse: there seems to be a pattern here of "the new york times" actively subverting the ability of the united states defense to protect american lives. if you look back to the bush administration, the times exposed to the cia black sites. they exposed the financing networking. they exposed the nsa surveillance program after being begged and pleaded with to stop, it's going to jeopardize national security. now they expose a covert intelligence officer. are there any consequences for "the new york times"? i know it's a freedom of speech issue, freedom of the press. is there anything that can be done if it can be proven that they are actively putting lives at risk. >> you

when that process said the president is ready to recertify that iran is in compliance, the president said not so fast. on one side you have president trump and chief strategist steve bannon, there is a larger struggle, frank ri, verse the price tag fact versus the ideological sides of the administration. you have trump and bannon on one side and most of the national security establishment on the other side. you have secretary of state tillerson, secretary of defense mattis. national security advisor mcmaster. chamberren of joint chiefs joe dunnford and for hours the two sides were debating. the president and bannon said we don't like the deal. iran is about the things your piece mentioned, ballistic weapons, not allowing free access to n the gulf, terrorist support across the region, and that's the larger problem. the other side said, look, you may not like everything that iran does but the fact that those other issues are not part of the deal and iran is in compliance and until it's not, you have to recertify. >> margaret, help us out. the argument is if they're not violating the le

recertifying that iran is standing by the nuclear deal, but the trump administration also announcingns on the islamic republic. so what's next? to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you i just want to find a used car start at the new carfax.com show me used trucks with one owner. pretty cool. [laughs] ah... ahem... show me the carfax. start your used car search at the all-new carfax.com. >> heather: the trump administration certifying iran's compliance with the nuclear deal despite criticism from president trump on the campaign trail, but at the same time, the administration is also announcing some new sanctions against tehran. joining me now forward on this is tom rogan covering policies for the "washington examiner." thank you for joining us. let's talk a little bit about what we've heard happen last night specifically. we heard there was a lot of give a lot of give-and-take, some strong words aside, but at the end of the evening, the president did decide to certify that iran was i

and now they're take the iran policy because he thinks that tillerson's been too soft in recertifyingt least complying with the terms of the nuclear agreement if not all the other issues that we have with iran. anne. >> it's like what's left, you know. >> right. >> cashmere? i mean, right. there are other things can he potentially do, but you're right. i mean, on issue after issue and i would include the paris climate change agreement, among those either things tillerson has recommended that the president has gone the other way on or his authority to make recommendations has been eroded in his view or really quite explicitly. i mean, trump put on the record in that "wall street journal" interview some things that we had been hearing for a week or so that tillerson being frustrated that a small group of people in the white house afeared to usurp the review of iranian compliance with the iran nuclear deal, which is something that really it remains at least on paper the purview of the state department. and more importantly for tillerson, he clearly felt that his advice was being discount

he would tear up that deal, but now we are hearing that the trump administration is likely to recertify iran'se. top republicans on the hill are not happy about there. rich edson has a story from the state department. >> good morning. the trump administration must decide by early next week whether to certify if iran is complying with the iran-nuclear agreement paired signed two years ago today by then secretary of state john kerry in vienna, the obama administration entered into this agreement and congress had required the administration certified if iran is holding up its end of the deal and every 90 days. that's coming up at the beginning of next week. they tell fox news that the trump administration is examining the u.s.'s entire iran policy and it will adhere to the nuclear agreement during that review. >> the review of the iran policy is still going. that is still underway. i know people have a lot of interest in this. we have said, and the administration has said, that at least until that review has been completed that we will adhere to the jcpoa, that has not changed and we will ensure

iran which is ongoing. and as we saw, even though the president recertified the iran deal, at the same time he said, bad deal take care of their bad things, we may find ourselves inadvertently marching down to war to protect those interests. >> ambassador wendy is herman. i have one other question i would like to ask you. can you stay for just another moment? >> sure. >> there was information between putin and trump not disclosed by the white house. >> sure. >> wendy sherman will stay with us. we will be right back. pain can really be a distraction. pain is sometimes in my hands, right before a performance especially. only aleve has the strength to stop minor arthritis pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. this is my pain. but i am stronger. aleve. all day strong.

. >> this comes as the deadline looms for the trump administration to recertify the iran nuclear deal. on monday, u.s. officials meet to tell congress whether iran is complying with the agreement and whether the country should continue to get relief from sanctions. >> on to venezuela now. opposition there is claiming victory and a symbolic and unofficial referendum on that nation's president. >> opposition leaders say about 9 wil 98% of those who voted rejected the plans to rewrite the constitution. earlier we spoke with journalist from caracas. >> venezuelans voted today. 6.5 million inside venezuela and about 700,000 venezuelans abroad. that's a huge turnout for opposition who is claiming victory in these nonbinding referendum against the proposals for a constitution of president maduro. so part day has gone on quite peacefully and quietly. of the seats have been able to record the votes in a rather way and in a small incident, one person was killed by clashes between two different main parties. government and opposition. but again, after more than three months of social unrest and

. >>> president trump has agreed to recertify the iran nuclear deal but says he is doing it reluctantly and that iran was not living up to the spirit of the agreement. >> rich edson is at the state department with more. >> reporter: he spent months vowing to tear it up. now president trump's administration has certified for the second time that iran is complying with the nuclear agreement, though in certifying that rex tillerson says iran is failing to comply with the spirit of the agreement. >>'s supposed to contribute to regional and international peace. we believe that some of the actions that the iranian government has been involved with has undermind that. >> reporter: there's been aggressive criticism of iran for hostility towards israel, providing weapons to militants and detention of foreigners. iran responded. >> despite presumptions that the u.s. would move towards wisdom we are observing that congress has brought up more than 20 bills against iran. >> reporter: senators in both parties want more sanctions against iran for its support of terrorism. hours after certifying that

the iran deal is said to be one of the worst in history. now the trump has recertifiedet the requirements under the landmark agreement. it is the second time the administration has done so, which is required every 90 days. however, the president only gave that decision begrudgingly. they intend to -- the last certification in april was followed by a new round of sanctions. i feel like iran is turning the table here. we heard ali arouzi will be reevaluating this week. iran is saying the u.s. pressuring businesses not to do any work with iran now. with the new sanctions about support of terrorism, ballistic missile testing, we'll see what's going to happen there but of course we know the u.s. is now getting pressure from their new allies in the gulf states alongside israel but their european counterparts, they don't want the u.s. to pull out of this. >> what's making this interesting is the europeans are saying one thing and the international community is saying one thing. it's hard for the u.s. to come out and say the iranian government is not -- >> in compliance. >> you

iran nuclear deal. well today donald trump recertified to dwres that iran is abiding by the iran nuclear deal. and the deal will stand for now. increasing frustration is the fact that he is not able to do this health care legislation. he is not able to undo the iran nuclear deal and there is great reporting in the "new york times" that says he had a fight in the white house with his national security advisers. trump wanted to pull out of the iran nuclear deal basically scrap it and h.r. mcmaster and relevant tillerson were able to convince him to stay with it. that must be compounding frustration, his sense he is not getting things done he vowed to do. and the overall image of impoetens shrouding the white house. >> you wake up on a monday morning expecting that white house to want very much to turn the page on the donny junior meeting last week which could not have dominated the news more mp instead they open a new book with the president tweet saying most people would have taken that meeting. >> this white house from day one has been unable to get ahead of this story. it has been a constant

the current administration has recertified iran's compliance with the agreement, twice. iran does not have a nuclear weapon and is subject to intense scrutiny by the international atomic energy agency. but importantly to the point raised today, i would suggest that the department of energy consistently has indicated that the -- at the time of the 2016 heavy water purchase from iran, that the united states would not be a regular buyer of iranian heavy water. since that purchase, the united states has not purchased any adegreesal heavy water from that country and in fact, the u.s. has, through refraining from purchases of excess supply, forced iran to shift excess heavy water abroad to continue to adhere to the agreement entered into. it seems highly unlikely that the curn administration would now seek out an opportunity to purchase this heavy water. again, i believe the gentleman has a solution to a problem that does not exist, and i am opposed to his amendment and i would yield back my time. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. desantis: i would just say, if you wa

iran's drive towards nuclear weapons. foreign policy magazine now reports donald trump has assigned a white house team to target that deal, that i recertifiediran is in compliance but now several nsc staffers accord dog foreign policy magazine are expected to be involved including steve bannon, the alt-right white nationalist entity within the right wing and sebastian gorka whose associations include a nazi entity in his father's home country who are both regarded as iran hawks are supposed to take part. the idea that you would have the obama administration seeking to unwind the iran deal by finding ways ideologically to declare them out of compliance, what do you make of that? >> it's a very disturbing development, joy. this is the most singular diplomatic achievement by the united states since george w. bush talked the rest of the world into accepting the reunification of germany and its retention in nato. monumental achievement and it's stopped iran from achieving a nuclear weapon. the only other alternative is war and invasion to eradicate the program. that would be a disaster would make iraq pale in comparison but that's where we're he

the trump administration says they will recertify the deal. they agreed that iranlying with its terms. wait, what happened? unbelievable. >> greg: they did a political story on "one more thing." poo poo. >> kimberly: all right, this is quite charming. a 90-year-old grandmother. 2,000 tiny hats for newborns, she has made them. her name is barbara lowe. it took four hours to do each hat. in mayfield heights ohio since 2009. she's delivered 2,252 hats to the hospital and she's living right across the street. she absolutely loves it. pale pink, pale blue, pale gree green. >> greg: set your dvr. >> bret: senate republicans waved the white flag on obamacare repeal and replace. president trump says let obamacare failed. so where do congressional republicans go from here if they can't get consensus on just repealing obamacare? this is special report. good evening, welcome to washington, i am bret baier. apparently failure is an option for it after seven years of promising to get rid of obama's legacy, health care law, congressional republicans are back to an increasingly e

iran the way thats obama administration did a series of concessions or appeasement. the trump administration is kind of walking a politically thin line today, they are to recertify the n they believe that iran is violating at least the spirit of the agreement, they are continuing to review it i think that down the line we may see significant changes, it was very early in trump a presidency when the administration used tough rhetoric to say they are putting tehran on notice. gerri: i wish we had more time. this is fascinating. claire we'll have you back to talk more about it shocking story. great show, thank you so much for joining me, appreciate your time. so many good topic, lou dobbs is next right here on fox business. lou: good evening, left wing rats trying to run for exits, former obama national security adviser susan rice had been set to testify tomorrow before the house committee. but that is no longer occurring, not this week. susan rice, who had no problem publicly lying to the american people on sunday talk shows is suddenly unwilling to speak to house intelligence committee about the truth.

iran nuclear deal. yesterday president trump agreed to recertify the deal complying with the one that was brokered underobama. bloomberg reporting that the president almost ripped up the deal at the last second. today the white house the confirms they believe iran has already broken the agreement. here now peter king, congressman always good to see you. welcome tonight. the president appears to be very torn on this issue of whether or not to continue or recertify this eye ran deal. >> there's enough grounds if he wanted to break it right now, that's where his heart is. i think his advisors are telling him without laying more groundwork and may condition to go thighsing other allies. but iran is getting away with murder and it was a terrible deal to begin with. it is tough to deal with. they have gotten the money up the front but they are, i mean violating un resolutions on the icbm's, it appears they're going over the limit on uranium. trying to get more blue tone yum. so this is -- but again i understand the predicament that the president is in. but i think you shea see him taking us out of this. >> ma

the trump administration says they will recertify the deal. they agreed that iranat happened? unbelievable. >> greg: they did a political story on "one more thing." poo poo. >> kimberly: all right, this is quite charming. a 90-year-old grandmother. 2,000 tiny hats for newborns, she has made them. her name is barbara lowe. it took four hours to do each hat. in mayfield heights ohio since 2009. she's delivered 2,252 hats to the hospital and she's living right across the street. she absolutely loves it. pale pink, pale blue, pale gree green. >> greg: set your dvr. never miss an episode of "the five." "hannity" is up next. >> sean: thanks to our friends on "the five." at this a fox news alert. welcome to "hannity." president trump is responding to the senate republicans failure to deliver on a key promise. need to you, the american people. it's to repeal and replace obamacare. herman cain, jay sekulow, tom fitton, jim jordan, mark meadows, they are all here tonight with reaction. but first, enough is enough when it comes to congressional republicans breaking their word

administration can do by codifying some sanctions and the president has also talked about the iran deal, which is recertified for the coming year in terms of keeping them to their limits on their nuclear programs. so, it is an important development. one we have not heard any comment yet from the white house. they have a new communications team. so that might be part of it. >> fair enough. nbc's kelly o'donnell at the white house. thanks a lot. >>> new developments in the russia probe as the investigation continues to heat up. according to the "washington post," u.s. spy agencies intercepted conversations of russia's former ambassador to washington, serg kislyak. kislyak told his superiors in moscow that he discussed campaign related matters including policy issues important to moscow with jeff sessions during the 2016 election. but sessions told congress a different story during his confirmation hearing, saying that such talks never happened. >> let me state this clearly, colleagues. i have never met with or had any conversation with any russians or any foreign officials concerning any type of interference w

iran nuclear deal. they had to recertify it by midnight last night. what to do because the president wanted to tear it up as he said. but iran has been complying and every other member of the international coalition and the international energy -- atomic energy monitors say iran is living up this deal, no matter what else they're doing. >> there is something poetic and much to the delight of the obama administration officials that i've spoken to today about both health care reform failing on the same night that the iran nuclear deal is formally certified as iran being compliant. the obama legacy -- >> here is the president. >> sure. >> let's hear what he had to say. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> mr. president, are you angry at the republicans who won't sign on to the bill? >> disappointed. very disappointed. [ inaudible question ] i'm certainly disappointed for seven years i've been hearing repeal and replace from congress and i've been hearing it loud and strong and when we finally get a chance to repeal and replace, they don't take advantage

there is an expectation that iran keeping to its promises with respect to its nuclear program, that's what's going on around the country has been recertified by the trump administration and so ongoing policy with iran might be an area that was a specialty for derrick harvey. we have not been told any more details. this separation announcement does speak in ways that might be different than others, praising his work, praising his service in uniform as well as on capitol hill, and the critical indication that they want to find a place in the administration where his skills and expertise can be utilized. so this may simply be an issue of not being on the same page, different working styles, a carryover from the flynn era. it's important because the national security arm of this white house has such a huge plate and we've seen how many issues the president has to grapple with, and it is this national security council that forp forms the policy to help the president make critical decisions. this is a notable change for those reasons. >> kelly o'donnell with breaking news at the white house. thank you. the skinny on the skinny repeal. what exact

. >>> president trump is very likely to recertify iranian compliance with the iran nuclear agreement, although he continues to have reservations about it according to a senior u.s. official under u.s. law the state department must notify congress every 90 days on iran's compliance. >>> at his daily briefing house speaker paul ryan said donald trump jr. should testify before congress about the russia investigation if asked to do so. >> i think any witness who has been asked to testify before congress should testify. i'll leave that up to the witness and the senate to decide that, the committees anybody who is asked to testify to it the senate should do that. >> and talk about good fortune new kids on the block star donny wahlberg left a whopping $2,000 tip on an $82 bill for his waitress at the waffle house in charlotte, north carolina. he cited his family's involvement in the hoppity industry his mom waited tables and his dad was a bartender. he also provided some fellow waffle diners with tickets and backstage passes to his show which is playing in town that's the news update this ho

melissa: the trump administration says iran it may be in compliance with the letter of the nuclear deal, but is still defying the spirit of it. the president recertifyinghat 2015 agreement, despite his campaign promises to back out of it. that white house also hitting iran with a new sanctions, tied to their missile program. let me bring back former u.s. congressman, jason chaffetz, he is a fox news contributor. was your reaction? >> i am frustrated. the president says he was going to tear up the agreement. he is in the white house, and it is certify unit. they are now going to put new sanctions on appeared by certifying, you loosened up sanctions that were previously in there. it makes no sense. the president missed this one. spoon does not make a lot of john bolton explained it like this. let's listen. >> the president should make a decision in the bureaucracy, you carry out in the campaign, military counterparts, you speak to your intelligence counterparts. we will do this, because right now, this deal does not constrain around the neck iran. it is a big highway to allow them to do it. >> melissa: they are looking to go out to the allies to let them

constant criticism from both candidate and president trump, the trump administration has recertified to congress that irane the administration has done so, which is required every 90 days, and approval was reportedly only given by the president begrudgingly after arguing with his national security advisors. steve ratner to round out the hour here, you look at all that's going on with health care and obama care. it seems like dismantling the obama legacy might be a little harder than trump thought it was. >> i think what trump is finding, like many candidates, is that you run for election on a set of views that either may not be fully informed or may be politically popular, and then you get there, and you find out that the job is harder than you think, and the issues are harder than you think, and, in fact, a little bit like obama care, the iran deal is actually working. they are complying. there's been no evidence of cheating. i'm certainly not here to defend the iranians. it is following the playbook, and so his state department officials did what they were supposed to do, which was to recertify it and h

iran. >> when we recertify around so-called compliance with the deal, and a lot of people look at their activitywith officials at the white house, state department, f.b.i. all week, and this is all in the aftermath of that, and it didn't seem like that changes everything. they're willing to do whatever it takes to get my dad home which is encouraging to hear. abby: how you doing and how is your family doing? >> 10 years it's been a struggle struggle. i actually just held his newest grandson in my arms yesterday and it's tough when he misses these moments. it's tough every day that he's not there. there's so much been going on, but we just gotta keep pushing and it's good for us to be able to have these opportunities to continue pressing his case. pete: do you get any info at all about your dad's health, his well-being? >> it's been 10 years since we got any video from him. it's been 10 years, we understand it's a tough situation, but we're hopeful. i still believe he's alive, and they're holding him and he's being kept well, just the fact of getting him h.me pete: and you and your father, robert

iran's compliance, which comes every 90 days is due by monday. there are new reports that the trump administration will be expected to sign off on it. recertifys a huge opportunity for companies like boeing and ge and aviation arms, which already do business in the country. and perhaps for newer companies that want to get into that untapped market or could it be a huge mistake? fox news strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters here with his opinion on this. let's hear it. >> hi, liz. >> well, the first thing people have to understand, liz, is that a deal -- an agreement of the sort we signed with the iranians about nuclear weapons isn't the same as a business contract. you have to get the terms you want before it goes to signature. because once everybody signed, no matter how bad the terms are for you, you've got to honor the contract. we can't just tear it up, and i think, you know, trump's hands are tied. mattis doesn't like this, but he recommends going forward and certifying it. because where are we to unilaterally withdraw from the deal, we would be the bad guys and the chinese, latin-americans all want to do business with iran,

iran." we usually speak to him in washington. he is in sweden right now. as you listen to president trump, the speech he gave just a few days after he recertified the deal heticized. what are you hearing about what his plans are? trita: i think we have never before seen the desire to unravel and destroy and arms-control deal, having been telegraphed as openly as president trump is doing. -- heessentially saying said in the interview with the wall street journal -- she never would have certified their compliance 180 days ago. so he is intent not to do it. in the opening piece, you said the new york times is reporting that trump ordered his staff to to refrain from certifying, being able to claim the iranians are in violation. in reality, he has told them to fabricate away. the planet appears to be to request access to iranian nonnuclear sites, knowing well, as long as those are based on zero proper intelligence, the iranians will reject. calculus,reject the they will be able to say the iranians are out of compliance with the deal, and that we start moving toward what will ultimately likely be some form of a military confrontation. this given the fact that w

an eruption over the iran deal where, you know, famously donald trump the candidate said i'm going to tear it up, the worst deal ever. now, reluctantly he's twice had to recertifye iranians are complying with the nuclear deal itself. and his criticism and it is a criticism that others have this is that the nuclear deal was deliberately negotiated by the six powers to exclude iran's other misbehaviors. support for terrorism, human rights abuses, american prisoners, missile technology. so now we have just slopped new sanctions on some -- some irg iranian, you know revolutionary guard players, but not terribly damaging as i understand it, it is not going to affect for instance a boeing contract to sell airliners to. >> i think the interesting part of this is the trump administration is trying to thread a needle, trying to thread the needle of pressuring and confronting iran in a way they think the obama administration didn't while still adhering to and respecting the contours of the nuclear agreement, in part to preserve the diplomacy, because if we were to pull away unilaterally, you then not only have to confront the issue of what happens with iran, but it is a

that say iran is not complying, they're not offering any concrete evidence, just saying they're not complying. what do you make of the notion that the president's flirting with not recertifyingal just based upon that? >> i think there's serious gamesmanship going on here. if you leave the back story, the president is signaling, he apparently wanted to decertify. "the new york times" reported that 55 minutes out of the hour of the meeting was the president spent questioning his advisers, mcmaster, mattis, and tillerson, questioning why he shouldn't decertify. so i think there is a good deal of signaling going on here. but in reality, brooke, and this is where the north korean and the iranian connection is important, you have an open nuclear file with the north koreans, and we don't have an answer to that. why, under these circumstances, would you want to play around with this agreement. and let's be clear. this is a repressive, brutal, serial human rights abuser. they've just sentenced a hapless princeton graduate student to ten years. but on the nuclear side, you don't want to create a situation where you now have two nuclear rogue states. one has nuclear weapons. the other

recertify because the deal is narrow nuclear deal but we have the rest of the foreign national security tool kit. there is nothing in the deal precludes helping our friends and putting pressure on what iranlebanon, anywhere else, adding sanctions we just did. the deal is not symbolic of a good relations with iran. it carves out this one area, that that is all. liz: south korea is getting antsy and concerned because tension ramped up past couple weeks now that south korea is interested in having talks with north korea. also china and north korea want the u.s. to remove its thaad missile system that it parked there, antimissilism system in south korea. should it do that or does it show the u.s. under pressure will roll over. i don't think president trump will be interested. >> he shouldn't remove it. this defense system is in direct response to north korean missile threat. we should keep it there. we still have 28,500 american troops right up against the 3th parallel. it is china's doing. if china used more influence against north korea we wouldn't have need for missile system. we should keep it. one of the issues with the new president of south korea he put advancing the defensive system,
