1:00 pm
both delta and others have apologized to the chinese for this and i give the white house credit for pushing back. paul: thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. hope to see you here next week. this is the fox news alert. new reaction on president trump's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. the move sparking outrage overseas, except for israel and several arab countries with massive protests in tehran over the united states pulling out of the 2015 agreement. meanwhile, the remaining members of the agreement are searching for a way to save it. hello everyone. welcome to a brand new hour inside america's news headquarters. i'm arthel neville. eric: i'm eric shawn. iranian president while he's slamming our country for what he calls a quote violation of morals. while he vows to stay committed to the nuclear deal, he says his country's interests are
1:01 pm
protected. criticism is also coming here at home from some. here is former defense secretary robert gates. >> my own view would have been it would have been better to stay in the agreement at least for another six months and essentially lay down an ultimatum to our allies. and say either you join us and very heavy penalties against the iranians for the ballistic missile programs and you join us in resisting iranian meddling in the middle east. either you help us with those things or in fact i will walk away from this agreement. i think we could have pushed the europeans a lot harder. eric: garrett tenney has more live from washington on this continuing debate. hi, garrett. >> hey, eric. one of the big challenges european leaders face in keeping the nuclear deal alive is sanctions by the u.s. once again targeting iran and any foreign companies doing business there. that's created a bit of a mess for corporations, particularly those based in europe which invested billions of dollars in
1:02 pm
iran after the nuclear deal was signed. france, germany, and the u.k. are now lobbying the trump administration to exempt those businesses from sanctions. but today on fox news sunday, secretary of state mike pompeo said while it is a possibility, the u.s. won't allow european companies to help finance iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon. >> the sanctions regime that is now in place is very clear about what the requirements are. my mission that i have been given by president trump to work to strike a deal that achieves the outcomes that protect america. that's what we're going to do. i will be hard at it with the europeans and n the next several days -- in the next several days. >> today iran's foreign minister visited with china to kick off meetings to see what the future of the deal looks like and if it's something iran will be interested in being a part of. in tehran the iranian president said he is hopeful the deal will remain intact. >> translator: if the five remaining countries in the deal accompany us and fulfill their
1:03 pm
commitments and guarantee the iranian said the benefits of the islamic republic, the deal will be preserved, this agreement will remain in place despite the will of america and the zionist regime. >> while our european allies are working to keep the deal alive they are also calling on iran to agree to a separate broader deal to address tehran's bad behavior in the region, something the u.s. is also pushing for. so far though iran has dismissed those suggestions and said there will be no other deal. eric? eric: garrett, and a later on, judy miller, the analyst will be here to talk about this iranian deal. arthel will be talking to her. thank you. arthel? arthel: thank you. well also in the middle east, white house senior advisor ivanka trump and jared kushner arriving in israel ahead of the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem tomorrow. the move coming amid growing tensions between israel and palestinians, but secretary of state pompeo says a peace deal
1:04 pm
can still be reached. >> the peace process is most decidedly not debt. -- dead. we're hard at work at it. with respect to the security, we're aware of the situation on the ground. the government has taken a number of actions to ensure that not only are governmental interests but the american people in that region are secure as well. we're comfortable we have taken action. arthel: let's bring in now the founder of national chairman of christians united for israel and pastor, i want get to the peace process in a bit, if i could, though, start here. you met with president trump last august to discuss moving the embassy to jerusalem. you will also be et meeting -- you will also be meeting with prime minister netanyahu. what was your message to the president? what will you tell the prime minister? >> when i was visiting with the president, i shared with him that i felt that he and harry trueman were standing in a very
1:05 pm
similar position in history. whenever harry truman had the opportunity to recognize the jewish state in 1948, all of his chief advisors including mr. marshall who had national acclaim told him absolutely don't do it. if you do, there will be a colossal war that will never end. harry truman in 11 minutes recognized the state of israel and has stepped into political mortality in israel because he did that. i told the president, i said, you're standing on the stage of history in a very similar situation that moving the embassy i believe would accelerate the peace process because it would remove the confusion of to whom does jerusalem really belong. and when he announced that, i believe that the peace process was accelerated and tomorrow
1:06 pm
we're going to be dedicating the embassy which is the road to peace that begins in jerusalem. arthel: okay, i don't think we got to the part about what you said or planning to say to the prime minister, but i'm going to move on because i do want to ask you, as a holy man, how do you feel about the u.s. embassy being relocated to such a holy city as jerusalem? >> i think it's a wonderful thing. i don't think the jewish people are being treated exceptionally. i think they are just now being treated fairly. the united states of america has put their embassies in the capitals of every nation on the face of the earth. many of those nations controlled by despots and dictators. israel is the only democracy in the middle east, and we have refused to put our embassy there, lest someone might be offended by it. now we have with the courage of
1:07 pm
mr. trump put that exactly into play. the embassy is going to be dedicated. other nations are coming to israel to put their embassies there. and it says a great deal about the peace process being renewed beginning at jerusalem. arthel: well, as you know, the palestinians are not too happy about this. and so i ask you about that peace process, pastor. is moving the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem ultimately going to bring more peace or strife and violence to the region? >> the palestinians are going to have to recognize the fact that if they want to have a peace process that's successful, they're going to have to sit down at the same table in the same room with the jewish leaders and their leaders and determine what peace is going to be. it can't be dictated through the quartet. it can't be dictated through europe or through america. as long as they refuse to come
1:08 pm
to the peace table, there cannot be a peace process, a two-state solution is an absolute pipe dream until these two -- until these two nations sit down together in the same room and hammer out what they can accept. arthel: okay. and of course we don't have the other political side of this conversation. so i'm going to move on, pastor, and i want to get to this because you're going to be giving the benediction at the embassy's opening ceremony. you're invited by the u.s. ambassador to israel. can you give us a brief preview of your prayer? >> the benediction to the prayer is going to be a praise to god for making this day possible, for god brings the exiles back to israel, for god keeping jerusalem safe and jerusalem becoming a center of peace, and inviting the nations of the world to participate in that
1:09 pm
peace process. arthel: pastor john hagee, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, arthel. arthel: have a safe and peaceful ceremony tomorrow. thank you. >> thank you. arthel: by the way, you can watch history unfold right here on the fox news channel tomorrow with anchor harris faulkner will be live from jerusalem. be sure to catch her tomorrow beginning at 1:00 p.m. eastern. eric: back here at home, the white house under fire after refusing to apologize for that tasteless and offensive comment made about senator mccain by an administration aide. here is press secretary sarah sanders. >> -- apologize to senator mccain? >> again, i'm not going to get into a back and forth. again i'm not going to validate a leak one way or the other out of an internal staff meeting. >> are you saying -- >> again, i'm not going to validate a leak out of an internal staff meeting. eric: that leak claimed that white house staffer kelly sadler
1:10 pm
dismissed senator mccain's opposition to the president's cia nominee gina haspel by saying in a private meeting quote, he's dying anyway. that remark about an american hero sparking a lot of outrage. ellison barber at the white house now with the very latest. hi, ellison. >> eric, much of what we're hearing from sources at the white house is that much of the frustration here at the white house is around the leak. senior white house sources are telling fox news that there's so much disappointment at the situation and the leak that staff changes are likely on the way. senior administration officials tell fox news they believe the controversy itself is overblown and that they are disheartened by it because they believe someone on their team is out to get kelly sadler and the leak of her comments were done out of malice. sadler's comments that mccain's opposition to the president's nominee for cia director didn't matter because he's dying anyway were not said as a joke, but matter of factually.
1:11 pm
>> i don't know if the comment was even made or not. i can't confirm it. i wasn't in the meeting. >> so you're denying that she said it? >> no i'm not denying it. i'm saying i wasn't in the meeting. >> she called meghan mccain to apologize so it sounds like she said it. was it kind? >> i heard that as well. look, those comments, whether they were made or not made, there were some reports in there obviously too about the internal workings of that meeting that just shouldn't be made public. >> i just wish somebody from the white house would tell the country that was inappropriate. that's not who we are. and that the trump administration and i think most americans would like to see the trump administration do better in situations like this. it doesn't hurt you at all to do the right thing and to be big. >> sources tell fox news a day after sadler's comments leaked to the press, there was a meeting with white house staff, and press secretary sarah sanders and senior communications aide called the remarks inappropriate, but added that they were concerned about the apparent leak by lower
1:12 pm
ranking press and communication staffers. sources are telling fox news it was also said in that meeting that she stands with kelly sadler. eric? eric: ellison, thank you very much. we have new details on the deadly stabbing in paris. what authorities are saying about the suspect. and the attack in the heart of the french capital. the latest on the investigation is still ahead. plus kim jong-un taking steps to ease tensions ahead of his summit next month with president trump. but are they genuine or just symbolic? we will discuss, coming up next. >> no president has ever put america in a position where the north korean leadership thought this was truly possible, that the americans would actually do this, would lead to the place where america was no longer held at risk by the north korean regime. alright, i brought in new max protein ...to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't. i'll take that.

mr. elliot, what's your wiwifi?ssword? wifi's ordinary. basic. do i look basic? nope! which is why i have xfinity xfi. it's super fast and you can control every device in the house. [ child offscreen ] hey! let's basement. and thanks to these xfi pods, the signal reaches down here, too. so sophie, i have an xfi password, and it's "daditude". simple. easy. awesome. xfinity. the future of awesome. eric: north korea -- says it will be shutting down its nuclear testing site, where they tested six nuclear devices, plan a ceremony to do that sometime between may 23 and 25. another date looms large a few weeks after that, june 12th, the day when president trump is scheduled to meet with kim jong-un face-to-face in singapore. as for dismantling the nuclear
1:17 pm
site the president reacted this way on twitter, quote: >> secretary of state pompeo echoed that sentiment. >> north koreans announced yesterday that they are going to blow up their nuclear site in 10 to 12 days. how big a development is this? >> this is good news for the american people. and for the world. and so this is one step along the way. eric: what is the significance? ceo of the foundation for the defense of democracy is joining us. mark, is this a meaningful step, or is it symbolic considering reports say much of the site has collapsed from explosions? >> well, eric i think it is both symbolic and meaningful. the last nuclear test in september reportedly has collapsed that site anyway. the north koreans have already developed nuclear weapons on their way to developing intercontinental ballistic missiles. i don't think there's much new
1:18 pm
or anything meaningful in this decision, but symbolically i think kim jong-un is certainly trying to signal to the united states that he may be prepared to do a deal. eric: i mean who would think after all these years that they would want to close that? but what else should we see? ballistic missile development for example, pausing it but hasn't stopped it or hasn't moved to dismantle that capability. >> we need to be very careful. the kim regime has been outplaying u.s. negotiators for decades. they promised in 92 that they would stop their nuclear program. they promised in 94. they promised in 2005. they have been gaming us for many many years. we need to be very very cautious. we have to absolutely insist that they denuclearize and rapid and complete and verifiable. >> clinton administration, president george w. bush took them off the state sponsored terrorist list, all they did was
1:19 pm
take a baseball bat, you know, to us, but now they have met president trump, rocket man and with the president's threats, do you think that's really gotten inside kim jong-un's head where he's looked up and go i better do something because we're actually giving them a concession just by having the president meet with him one-on-one? >> i think it is a big concession. this meeting on june 12th at singapore between president trump and kim jong-un could end up being one of the greatest reality shows we have had in decades. i think the u.s. government should charge 39.95 for, probably pay off our national debt. it would be a fascinating summit. i think the president has been right and the maximum pressure campaign really squeezing the regime economically, trying to bring the chinese on board to join that economic squeeze and making it very clear that all options are on the table. the real question that kim jong-un will have to assess is president trump serious? or is she a paper tiger or probably more accurately a twitter tiger? eric: really squeezed office 39,
1:20 pm
the secret office where they get the mercedes-benzes, once you cut off kim's, you know, supply, and that of the elite, then you know they are really getting something. as for that meeting, i mean what has to happen there? let me play a sound bite for you from john bolton, his last appearance with me. he was on with us for 15 years on the fox news channel on sundays, and he predicted that there's one thing to talk about, and that is denuclearize and if kim doesn't say yes, no meeting, end of meeting, the president walks out. here's what the ambassador now national security advisor bolton told me in march. >> that's talking about denuclearization. eric: what if they say no? >> then it's a short meeting. eric: a short meeting? >> a short meeting. eric: okay fine, a short meeting. what are the chances of kim giving up saying i will give up my nuclear capability? most people don't see that happening at all. >> i think there's very little
1:21 pm
chance unless kim jong-un assesses that president trump is serious about squeezing his regime and potentially taking him to the brink of regime collapse. i think ambassador bolton is exactly right. there's only one thing to talk about which is permanent verifiable complete and rapid denuclearization. no more games. this isn't barack obama negotiating with the iranians where he gives massive concessions up front and give the iranians pathways to nuclear weapons and icbm's. this needs to be denuclearization so this regime is not left with the capacity or the materials to produce nuclear weapons and fix them to icbms to hold our cities hostage. eric: your prediction what happens? do we get a big announcement after the meeting or is it a big announcement of future announcements? what do you think is going to happen? >> it is hard to say. this is unprecedented sitting down like this. they really haven't prepared the groundwork i think efficiently to have any sort of detailed sense of where we're going to come out on this. it it has to be kim's assessment
1:22 pm
on whether this president is serious unlike previous presidents in using all instruments of american power to stop the kim regime from again holding our cities hostage. i expect an announcement and hopefully it is an announcement of denuclearization. if not, ambassador bolton is right, short meeting, walk away from the table, and continue the maximum pressure squeeze. eric: that in itself would be a pretty blunt strategic message anyway. always good to see you. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. arthel: protesters taking to the streets of iran after president trump withdraws from the nuclear deal. how all of this could impact u.s. foreign policy in the region and beyond? plus new developments on the ground in hawaii. sparking fears of another eruption. we will have a live report from the big island. that's coming up next.

1:25 pm
i'm still giving it my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk
1:26 pm
better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. so what's next? seeing these guys. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you. eric: renewed worries in hawaii. that's where two new fissures from the big island's kilauea volcano have opened up fuelling
1:27 pm
fears of another possible explosion there. jeff paul live on the big island with all the details. hi, jeff. >> hi there. road conditions out here and road closures and evacuation areas are expanding as more fissures continue to erupt here in this town. the 18th happening a little further down the road from here, in this residential area. now, as you see the traffic and cars moving, those are all folks who should be living here. they are folks that live here. they are closing off access to any folks who are trying to take pictures of the lava or any of the scene out here. as you take a look behind me, you can see the national guard troops are in place. they are there ready to respond should conditions get any worse. now geologists say the latest fissure is hundreds of yards long and is sending lava tens of feet into the air. they are expecting more cracks in the earth to split open, creating the potential for additional lava flow, earthquakes and sulfur dioxide. a short while ago we spoke with one man who lives near this this
1:28 pm
latest ground eruption and was sleeping when he says he heard an explosion. >> we didn't understand what it was because we never heard a sound like that before. so it was really impressive. a true gift that you get to see this or be near it because it's spectacular. >> now, obviously not everyone feels that way. there are several people just back in this neighborhood about a mile in, who have lost their homes and others right now where the lava is getting dangerously close. now, scientists worry that with all these new fissures, that we are closer to this volcano possibly blowing its top. if that were to happen, there's the potential for large boulders and ash to be sent throughout the air. eric? eric: and very dangerous, jeff, certainly a dire situation. thank you. arthel? arthel: thank you. iran's president saying the country may stay in the nuclear agreement if european leaders agree to stay on board.
1:29 pm
anti-american protests have been held across iran after president trump announced the u.s. will withdraw from the deal. earlier today, national security advisor john bolton doubling down on president trump's threat that european countries could face u.s. sanctions if they continue to be involved with iran. >> the issue here is what the europeans are going to do. if they are going to see that it's not in their interest to stay in the deal, we're going to have to watch what the iranians. they would love to stay in the deal. they got everything they wanted from the oeb -- obama administration. i think the europeans will see that it is ultimately in their interest to come along with us. >> joining us is a pulitzer prize journalist and author, judy miller. how likely is the u.s. will impose sanctions on countries
1:30 pm
trading with iran and where is the u.s. leverage? >> i think john bolton and mike pompeo have made it very clear to the europeans that they expect their companies to go along with these sanctions, and the price, arthel, is enormously high for the europeans if they do not. let me just give you a figure that should put this all in perspective. the trade between the european union and iran last year was about 18 billion dollars. european union trade with the united states is about 686 billion dollars. so the united states has leverage in terms of the euro and the dollar. it would be enormously expensive for europe not to go along, and yes, of course the europeans are worried. a french company has just signed an agreement with the iranians to extract natural gas, 5 billion dollars deal. airbus a french based company is
1:31 pm
already delivering jets and boy the iranians really need those jets too. the price will be high. but the price not going along with the united states is even higher. arthel: so you wrote a piece, you along with will toby wrote a piece on fox news.com. i want to just read a little bit of that. it says quote tuesday's decision plays into moscow's aims by deepening euro american tensions and forcing europeans to negotiate with tehran on their own. expound on that for me. >> well i think that my concern and will toby's concern and by the way will was against the iran nuclear agreement, and i was for it. but both of us are concerned that this is a gift to russia. and the reason it's a gift to russia is that russia's goal has always been to separate the united states from its european allies. they want to drive a wedge in this strategic alliance that nato has come to represent. and if you can drive a wedge
1:32 pm
over money and influence and trade between us and the europeans, that plays into moscow's hands. remember, also russia has a huge interest in syria and russia wants to drive a wedge between america and its allies. arthel: also, judy, how does president trump pulling out of the iranian nuclear deal front load his meeting with kim on jooun? -- kim jong-un? >> there are two ways you can look at this. bolton and pompeo have spun it this way, they say now kim jong-un understands low serious the united states is. it will not go along with a phony agreement. this agreement has to have teeth. it has to be permanent and verifiable. on the other hand, if you're sitting there and you're kim jong-un and you say i'm expected to give up all my nuclear capability forever in exchange for an american guarantee, but
1:33 pm
the next american president can come in and withdraw that guarantee or unilaterally walk away from it, do i really have security? we don't know which way kim jong-un is going to interpret what america has done. arthel: but he wants to be a player on the world stage. >> more than anything else, he wants survival. and whether that calculation o on what is in his interest, his personal interest and the interest of the kim dynasty, that's what matters to him. we don't know enough i think about what he thinks and what he wants to make that call right now. but you know what? we're going to find out. arthel: judy miller, we will have you back and talk about it and get your analysis as we watch this unfold. very fascinating. >> it is extraordinary. arthel: it really is. judy, good to see you. >> thank you. eric: thanks arthel and judy.
1:34 pm
north korea as you know has threatened to launch a nuclear strike, iran has warned it could resume its nuclear program and working on ballistic missiles capable of lifting a war head. as these threats multiply, the u.s. is keeping watch from deep inside a fortress that's buried inside a mountain in colorado. here's jon scott with a look at the post where our nation keeps its eyes on those who threaten us. >> the year was 1967. american involvement in vietnam was growing and already controversial. ♪ >> the monkeys topped the charts, number one for six consecutive weeks with one of the biggest hits of the year. >> it's spencer tracy as you have never seen him before >> the nation mourned the death of a major star from hollywood's golden age, spencer tracy. and a mysterious military
1:35 pm
installation, the cheyenne mountain complex in colorado springs opened its 25 ton doors. it took years and a million and a half pounds of dynamite to blast through thousands of feet of solid granite and build this complex. today cheyenne mountain is still the most fortified military instation in north america, conceived and constructed during the cold war when a soviet nuclear attack was a chillingly real possibility. as americans learned to prepare for the worst-case scenario of all out nuclear war -- >> first, you duck, and then you cover. >> the army corps of engineers was busy hollowing out a cavern deep in shy -- deep in cheyenne mountain, building 15 buildings each resting on shock absorbers so the buildings, the people and the equipment can ride out any type of seismic event, including shockwaves from a nuclear detonation. >> this was born out of the fears of the cold war and
1:36 pm
nuclear attack; right? >> it was. early design concepts were developed in the late 50s with construction starting in 61. >> and the idea is that you have a fortress in here impenetrable from the outside, no electromagnetic pulse, even nuclear attack? >> correct. it was designed to survive and endure all of those types of threats. >> the hundreds of people who work here commute through a long tunnel before arriving at the twin blast doors. >> those are some serious doors. >> they are. we have twin 25 ton blast doors to protect the inner workings of the complex. >> the doors would open and close in sequence to let staffers in and out. but at least one of the two doors remained closed around the clock from 67 until 94, well after the cold war was over and the soviet union disbanded. these days both are left open unless there is a drill or a threat to the nation.
1:37 pm
>> when was the last time these doors were closed due to an emergency? >> last time would be on september 11th. there was a nonresponsive aircraft that had departed san diego. it was over colorado at the time that the u.s. grounded all air traffic, and because they couldn't reach the pilot, we actually closed the doors just as a precautionary measure >> the primary mission? >> we actually get data sent to us from sites all over the world and also in space, and then we process that data and send it to norad, u.s. northcomm, so the decisionmakers can make decisions about any launches that have taken place. >> these air force personnel are on the front lines of high-tech keeping tabs on the threats facing this country. >> it's got to be a pretty big burden, huh? >> i wouldn't use the word burden. i feel honored to be able to sit in the mountain and protect
1:38 pm
everybody, friends, family, and again allies, country, everything. it feels good to actually do something that i feel like is a part of the fight. >> given recent bellicose language from north korea, syria, russia and iran, it is clear the worries of the cold war era remain alive today as does the need for vigilance inside this granite fortress. >> you guys drill all the time, but we could wake up any day and you are watching the screens and all of a sudden it is the real deal? somebody is launching an icbm? >> correct. if that were to occur, we are ready. you know, if this is the worst day in american history, the airmen that are on duty are ready at a second's notice to react and do what's necessary to protect america. arthel: that's our jon scott reporting from cheyenne mountain in colorado springs. when we come back, congressional committees are seeking more ffgs from the fbi
1:39 pm

says because they don't want the g.o.p. to win and keep its majority during the midterm elections in congress. >> the reality is they are being slow walked till after the election in the hopes that the democrats will take over the house or the senate and then the investigations will be covered up. eric: but the department of justice tells fox news it always seeks to respond to congressional requests quickly while protecting they say americans and the integrity of ongoing investigations. so what is this about? a contributor for the national law journal is joining us now. he is in chicago. do you think the motive is politics, control of congress and not appropriate legal standards? >> well, you know, eric, at first blush this argument that it is about politics would make sense if the house republicans were waging this fight against the democrats, then politics may be at play. but they are actually fighting against the department of justice, which is led by trump
1:45 pm
appointees, they are fighting against the fbi led by trump appointees fighting against recommendations by the cia led by trump appointees and president trump himself has weighed in and said fbi and cia sources should be protected and should not necessarily be turned over to congress if lives may be in danger which is the case here. so the concept that this is about politics when the battle is between republicans and republicans, doesn't hold water. eric: you make a point about lives in danger. that's exactly one of the reasons, the doj is saying it is not turning over this information. let me read a part of the letter from associate attorney general boyd on this. he said quote disclosure of responsive information at such request can risk severe consequences including potential loss of human lives, damage to relationships of value to international partners compromising criminal investigations and interference with intelligence activities. but you know, look, a lot of these guys up on the hill, they
1:46 pm
have got, you know, a secret classified status, so why can't they do this behind closed doors? >> it is typical is that if the information that congress is requesting is about an on going federal investigation which is the case here, and if they are asking for information about a confidential source, where that source could be jeopardized, it's unusual that the doj would give that information to congress, no matter which party is in the white house, which party controls congress. so what they are asking for is not usually turned over. keep in mind, for context here, that it's actually -- who have been accused and investigated by a house-led committee been accused of turning over -- >> nunes. >> nunes, exactly. so there's a concern here that the doj is not sure what the motive is for asking for information about a source to
1:47 pm
the mueller investigation, and some people have accused that the motive is actually to try to rally the base before the congressional elections. we don't know if that's the case. but the concept that it would be typical to turn over this information is not right. usually the doj does not turn over information that reveals sources in -- eric: one of the intriguing thing about this is that supposedly new secret source, maybe new, we don't know who it is, we don't know if it is christopher steele or someone else whom we have not yet heard about who may have been responsible for some of these allegations that they are holding out. we don't know who that is. let me read to you what the washington journal side about this in its editorial, quote: -- washington journal said about this in its editorial, quote:
1:48 pm
>> who is this person? do we know anything about who this secret person is? are we going to get a new avalanche of material, a new allegations, you know, about the trump campaign and russia from someone that we don't -- the rest of us don't even know who this is yet? >> we don't know who it is, but a really important point is that president trump himself has weighed in and has said that information about whoever this source is should not be turned over to congress. and so for congress to be saying for the republican led congress to be saying this is about politics, when president trump himself says the information shouldn't be turned over, that doesn't hold water and i think they need a reality check. eric: critics would say he doesn't want anyone to know about this. that's his motivation. he would say no, i want to protect a life. >> well, yes, and keep in mind, as you know, that it is really
1:49 pm
going to be the doj that decides whether -- what information is turned over to congress. and since jeff sessions is recused from this russia probe, it is rod rosenstein who is going to make that decision, and rosenstein has said publicly he's not going to be held hostage. he's not going to be told what he can and can't do by congress. he said he's going to do what's in the best interest of the country. he has president trump backing him on that so far. eric: kent, we will see who this person is, you know, the ways of washington, likely we will find out at some point, certainly some folks hope. thank you. >> thank you. arthel: authorities in paris release new details on the suspect in yesterday's deadly knife attack. >> we know that the caliphate isis has claimed responsibility, they say he was one of their soldiers, we can't verify that yet. because of all those mile? and because ice is cold.

arthel: isis is claiming responsibility for yesterday's deadly knife attack in paris, saying the suspect was one of its, quote, soldiers. this as we learn new details about the assailant. a french judicial official saying he had been on an antiterror watch list for radicalism before carrying out the deadly stabbing spree. let's go to bryan llenas with
1:54 pm
more. >> isis has released a new video claiming to show the knife attacker who stabbed five people killing one last night in central paris. isis took responsibility for last night's attack, calling the knifeman a soldier of the caliphate. today they released a 2 1/2 minute video which they say shows the attacker whose face is covered, pledging allegiance to the group's leader. chechnya's president has identified the knifeman, a 20-year-old french citizen who was born in the muslim russian republic. according to reporting by our katherine herridge, a contact tells her this video proves that it is beginning to look like this man was not necessarily an independently inspired actor or so called lone wolf. rather someone who had a more direct relationship with isis. this all took place just before 10:00 p.m. last night in central paris, near the main opera house, a popular tourist spot with restaurants and bars.

he was shot and killed by police last night but not before he wounded four and killed one just before 10:00. he stabbed people at random. so far a friend of the suspect has been questioned. so too has the suspect's parents who live in northern paris. the french interior minister says there could be more arrests to come. >> we will do everything to identify the author of the attack, to be able to eventually punish those who could have helped or assisted him. >> another point to mention as well as we were talking about, he was on a terror watch list there in that country, but he had no criminal record. police knew of him, but again no record. arthel? arthel: bryan llenas, thank you very much. >> of course. eric: tensions have been rising on the israel gaza border again ahead of the opening of the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem. how both the u.s. and israel are preparing for tomorrow's historic event. mom? dad? hi!
