they will not cooperate and warning illegal immigrants to stay clear. brand-new details as to why donald trump called off iranian strikes at the last minute and we can expect a response this weekend. >> 11:00 pm in dc, son upon the strait of hormuz meaning a strike tonight is unlikely. the white house says stay tuned over the weekend, reporting the white house is maintaining the option of military action against iran at all times, emphasis on at all times. the president said he called off the strike in the minutes before lunch last night because of the potential iranian casualties. >> they shot down an unmanned drone, here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place within a half an hour after i said go ahead. i didn't think it was proportionate. >> in a proposal report indicated would have targeted radar and surface-to-air missile strikes that shot down the drone. the iranian, and what carried nearly 3 dozen americans a. >> i think he is being more thoughtful and measured and deliberate in his approach. once you start this escalation the general said the proxy of going to war. >> the security council meets to take down the shutdown and iran will face tough questions, that the drone was in iranian airspace. the shootdown into international airspace. and the president tweeted this morning, sanctions biting and more -- as of tonight, there is no record of any sanction next week after the un meeting after what help the president can get from us allies. shannon: thank you so much. as our massive military at might await orders the president's reaction is on its head. when required forced army generals is the trump administration should not react the way the iranian regime would expect. >> we've got to make sure we are not playing checkers with the iranian's. we've got to play chess and boxing into the corner and keeping all military options on the table they know with the decision of the president, a lot of their military resources could disappear. shannon: let's bring in former chief of staff national security adviser john bolton and former cia station chief dan hoffman. great to have you with us. a republican was sitting here last night, getting word about what potentially may happen. here's what he said about answering iran's actions. >> the world needs to see smoke and fire. kim jong un needs to see smoke and fire. there has been an attack on the us military and if we don't respond we are incentivizing future attacks. shannon: what do you make of that? >> it is true and one thing i would highlight we have learned is how vulnerable our assets in the region are. our aircraft are vulnerable to iranian attack. if we launch an attack against iran in response to their mining of the ships in the persian gulf and shooting down our drone we have to be prepared for them to take counteraction against this. those are the questions the president has been asking the intelligence community. >> i appreciate donald trump's desire to be measured and soft but when it comes to iranian provocation, what will the world's response be if iran follows through on their threat to restart nuclear enrichment. i hope the united states will make this a red line. the president talked a lot during the campaign, he doesn't -- to pull a lot of those things but when confronting a situation like this, become commander-in-chief the reality of what you are facing may be different than what you campaigned on. >> this is a president who is trying to balance his promise to keep the us out of wars and not start new wars with the reality, he will probably use military force if iran does this. if iran starts enriching again i don't consider that red line, iran was cheating on this nuclear deal so badly this was coming anyway. i think the president is trying to be careful and restrained and iran dodged a bullet. they know military forces on the table. he is just taking his time waiting for the right moment. shannon: is that what it was about? the president confirming things were in motion but he decided to call it off. was it about sending a signal or something more or less? >> what is important is how iran perceives it. what it was or wasn't, it is how iran perceives the president's actions, that is what we are looking for an reflections from the intelligence community. iran sees us flexing our excellent demonstrating if iran crosses our red line we are at a tipping point whether it is enriching uranium to weapons grade levels or logic connecticut attack we are prepared at a moment's notice to strike back. >> under the headline trump refuses to take the bait, outlining all the things to navigate. allies want iranian oil and markets for their goods, the mullahs who want nuclear weapons and the end of sanctions among our allies, including many hawks who crave retaliation. >> many americans are deathly afraid of war with iran. tucker carlson is extremely upset this president is going to start a war with iran that is unwarranted. the president has to way these things, he is weighing his options and won't use military force unless necessary. i got to tell you the president said he did not want to kill 100-200 people in retaliation for the destruction of an unarmed drone. god bless him for that. if an american pilot is killed, the u.s. navy ship is hit by a missile it is a different situation. shannon: thank you for staying up late with us tonight. democratic presidential hopefuls locking to south carolina for a weekend to events. the man who served as vice president to our first and only african american president hopes to quite criticism over his comments about working with segregationist senators in the past. peter doocy live with the festivities and events. >> reporter: everybody who was here tonight except bernie sanders showed up on stage for their speeches in a blue cliburn for congress t-shirt. except for bernie sanders. he did not have a t-shirt. jim cliburn was the host, asked his guests to keep their remarks to a generous one minute and not everybody did. but joe biden did and he was proud of himself. >> whoever the democratic nominee is, we have to stay together and elect a democrat president of the united states of america. thank you, thank you, thank you and i tell you what, i do miss frisbee in here, jim. see you all. i did in a minute. >> bernie sanders went a little longer but loyal supporters cheered along with him. sanders had 22 say in certain early state polls but lawmakers hope to shave a few more points off his total. elizabeth warren was also very well received. >> i am running for president because i want a government that works for the rest of us. i am in this fight because i believe that the time for small ideas is over. we need big structural change. >> reporter: because time was short for the parade of candidates, different democrats tried different things to make a mark. cory booker tried this. >> from one dead to a guy that likes bad jokes, it is not flounder. get out there and kick some bass. >> the crowd got loud for andrew yang who had the crowd chanting his name, one of the only ones who enjoyed that as he took the stage tonight. so many folks in south carolina were so familiar with his remarks they knew what was coming when he teased them up for a joke, they knew the punchline. before he left the stage yang asked the crowd what is the opposite of donald trump and dozens chanted back to him in unison an asian man who likes bass. >> you know what is like covering these men and women and you feel you

governor says, she's going to call in the police. correspondent dan springer is in salem tonight with more. >> day two of the salem stalemate, looked bleaker than day one. state senators had to the to d. all 11 republicans in the senate went awol yesterday, leaving oregon rather than voting on a cap and trade bill a governor calls a must. >> it would of course a historic for oregon, historic for the country and frankly, historic for the world. unfortunately, senate republicans failed to show up and failed to do their jobs. >> governor katebrown took the extraordinary step to call on the oregon state patrol to find the republicans and bring them back to volvement they need two for a quorum. a couple of gop senators, folk to yous from idaho. >> we do our best and represent our constituents's best that, means, doing everything in our power to keep them >> we represent our constituents meaning to everything in our power to keep them from being irreparably damaged with this bill will do. >> republicans say cap and trade is a tax on all energy, raising gas prices $.22 a gallon immediately and a lot more down the road. democrats blasted their colleagues especially republican brian who said he would not be taken political prisoner and they should send bachelors who are heavily armed. >> that was a threat of bodily harm against law enforcement officers. i have never seen that. it was shocking to hear that. >> reporter: republicans say it is oregonians getting bullied by the majority party, leaders threatened to pull state funding out of the district. >> threat after threat after threat. if we can't sit down and work this out we have to figure something else out. i cannot but the district be destroyed by this legislation. >> reporter: troopers handcuff lawmakers, a spokesman says the osb will go to great lengths to avoid this scenario and no physical contact is permitted. the republican senators getting find $500 each day they miss. there plan is to last until the end of legislative session june 30th and negotiate a truce and changes to the climate bill. shannon: breaking tonight, local report the oregon senate at 7 after an ow alleged militia threatened to show up. in the wake of that threat. let's bring in ethan bearman and editor of the daily caller, thank you for being with us tonight. this is what governor kate brown said. people place their lives on the line to protect our democracy. it is a slap in the face to those sacrifices for senate republicans to turn their back on respectful dialogue just because they don't agree with others in the conversation. >> kate brown is being a hypocrite, in 2001 she encouraged house lawmakers in her own state when they were in the minority to do the same thing. they walked out of legislative session over redistricting. she said that was appropriate at the time. when the minority is the republican party she is opposed to it, it is dereliction of duty.s shannon: that is true and oregon senator tim knox said this. we are not going to provide a form to pass a progressive liberal agenda the damages the constituents from our district, they say it will cause fuel prices to soar, be bad for loggers and truckers and people in rural communities. they say our only option is to walk out. i >> there's a difference between walking out of a session and fleeing the state. i'm old enough to remember when democrats fled the state of texas because of legislation they didn't like and the rangers rounded up the democratic legislators as well. it is a little inconsistent. shannon: remember when they left wisconsin and went to illinois. >> elections have consequences. if you don't like the bill you better do a better job in the next election cycle, make sure your party gets the seats you need to run away as cowardly and antidemocratic and to incite violence as senator boquist allegedly did. inciting violence because you don't like a bill is absolutely wrong and should be condemned by everyone. shannon: quick reply. >> the republicans beef is the process isn't democratic enough because one of the demand they have is this law not be placed in place immediately. they are making an exception to the law, using an emergency statute to place immediately which would keep oregon voters from taking this to a referendum and decide whether they want this. shannon: there were 11 republicans gop senators in n oregon, things change. california, they have a legal bill that would limit police officers can do. there's been a lot of fighting about this. san francisco chronicle says the measure would direct police officers to use deadly force only when necessary in defense of human life but doesn't especially define what would be considered necessary.at courts consider the actions of police and the suspect when determining whether an officer is justified in opening fire. people who have lost loved ones as a result of police shootings need stricter controls but a lot of people are worried because they think this is so watered down that it is not any good. we are examining this in light of the case earlier this week we covered where the female officer was gunned down. other officers couldn't get to her. apparently there's an investigation. quick comment from both of you. >> any time there is a loss of law enforcement, very difficult job to do. the way the law is in the state of california, unlimited ability to take life. when you talk to law enforcement they all know of somebody who is trigger-happy and there's nothing you can do about it. this bill might not be the perfect solution to redefine the middle ground work, people being gunned down in the streets either.. shannon: the vast majority of law enforcement officers are very responsible who don't want to shoot someone. this is going to make some of the worry about being sued which is always possible in these e cases but there are concerned that law enforcement has not been supportive of this bill. there are folks who are worried offices think twice about walking into a situation where someone's like might be at stake. >> that could be an allowance for increase in crime. we need to strike the right balance when it comes to cases like this. the occasional bad policing should not be an excuse to endanger the lives of the many good officers who serve our country all over t place. the key is focus on good vetting and good framing. shannon: there has been a lot of input on this bill, a lot of voices so compromising on the most important point, i don't know. it is great to have you both for discussion on these cases. the roundup kicks off at santa cruz, where they removed an iconic mission bill. for some of the mission bell captures the romance of the spanish past. for native american activists they are symbols of cultural subjugation, repression and slavery. california democratic governor gavin newsom apologized for what he called the golden state's genocide against native americans. oakland experiencing with ways to deal with the homeless problem by delegating empty parking lot still allowing homeless to live there. the leader of a legal church in mexico appearing in la facing $50 million on forcible rape of children. the church's self-proclaimed apostle poses threat sim to huns of girls if police and in alaska -- >> that is cast

agents unless they are signed by a judge. most of the time ice agents do not come to your door with a warrant signed by a judge. do not open your door. >> multiple reports that donald from directed immigration officials to begin mass raids on illegal immigrants who have been deported. large number of cities publicly vowing they will not cooperate with efforts. anita vogel has more on what we are learning. >> they have received final deportation, have ignored them. 200,000 families and as many as 10 us cities. among those targeted will be minors who entered the us, people removed in absentia, and not respond to letters from the doj. donald trump has not been keeping the plan a secret. when democrats charge this creates fear and panic, the acting ice director said nothing could be further from the truth. >> every american should be outraged that an elected official would use the terror of families and children as campaign material. >> this is not about fear. no one is instilling fear in anyone. this is about rule of law and maintaining integrity of the system. we have people including families the received an immense amount of due process, final orders from a judge. >> for anyone who thinks previous administrations were more lenient when it came to deporting people here are the numbers. according to data from the department of homeland security, under president obama total ice deportations were above 385,000 each year, 2009-20001100 and all-time high of 400,000 in 2012. under donald trump the numbers fell to 226,000 in 2017 and picked up to 250,000 in 2018. stillwell under the obama years so far. in california officials like the mayor of los angeles and the governor put out statements today condemning the deportation raids and reiterating the california will remain in refuge for undocumented immigrants with other police say they won't become operating with the operation. shannon: thank you very much. donald trump says he never met a woman who said he tried to rape her in a manhattan department store two months ago. advice columnist carol alleges donald trump assaulted her in addressing room in 1995 or 1996. she told two friends at the time but did not report to police. there was no surveillance video. she didn't come forward earlier because she feared the backlash and in her words a coward. >> it became a fight. it hurt. it was against my will. >> reporter: a photo reportedly showing the two in a social situation has surfaced with the president says, quote, i never met this person in my life. she is trying to sell a new book, that could indicate her motivation. it should be sold in the fiction section. the president references what happened during brett kavanaugh's confirmation hearing adding false accusations diminish the severity of real assault. the saga for empire actor jussie smollett is far from over, a judge ordered a special prosecutor to investigate the handling of the alleged hate crime hoax and the decision to drop all charges against him. jussie smollett could end of being recharged. here is matt finn on this development. >> reporter: a veteran judge in chicago said kim fox went against illinois law which recused herself and appointed a right-hand man as the state attorney. there is no role of acting state attorney in illinois. the law requires when fox recused herself, special prosecutor should have been assigned. the search is on for an out of county prosecutor to examine the jussie smollett case, special prosecutor can bring the same or new criminal charges against jussie smollett and probe kim fox's office and for malfeasance or corruption. sheila o'brien submitted a petition in april requesting a special prosecutor arguing she felt compelled because the public deserves the truth. >> the most important thing, confidence in the judicial system will be restored to all of us. the case will be handled by somebody who does not have a conflict. >> reporter: justice o'brien feels there wasn't conflict in this case because kim fox recused herself for communicating with jussie smollett's family members. the judge ruled there was no actual conflict between fox and jussie smollett. in a statement kim fox responded, quote, i am pleased there was no conflict of interest regarding recusal, follow the advice and counsel, and in any respect i respectfully disagree in the absence of any conflict, the appointment of special prosecutor is required. kim fox did not indicate whether she plans to appeal the ruling and the cook county inspector general is investigating this case. shannon: thank you very much. a missouri judge said the planned parenthood clinic facing multiple charges failed abortion in health emergencies can stay open tonight. state health officials say the clinic will cooperate with the investigation leaving no choice but to pull the license. it is about limiting access to legal abortion. woman 1: i had no symptoms of hepatitis c. man 1: mine... man 1: ...caused

denying a license the last remaining abortion clinic setting concerns about the quality of care but a judge says the clinic can stay open. the news has been breaking hour by hour. >> not only in missouri barometer country, legal abortions can continue in the state of missouri thanks to a temporary injunction issued by a judge. the keyword temporary, things could quickly change. >> for women to be able to access the kind of medical care they and their health professionals need and deserve. >> reporter: reproductive rights advocates are celebrating a judge's decision to allow planned parenthood services to continue in the state of missouri. >> i want the people of missouri to know people in need of reproductive health care they can come to planned parenthood, the doors are open. >> reporter: the director of the missouri department of health announced he's not renew a license for the clinic and questioned how the judge can allow it to remain open since only four of 30 deficiencies the state senate found have been corrected by planned parenthood. >> i hope you understand if a plane crashes we can't say you had 10,000 flights last year that went well. sometimes these things happen. you don't do that. they go in and rigorously examine exactly what happened. to make sure there is not a systematic process that needs to be corrected. >> reporter: mike person issuing a statement reading, quote, planned parenthood is losing its license because it failed to meet basic standards of care and placed multiple patients and life-threatening situations, performed multiple failed abortions where the patients are made pregnant. planned parenthood plans to operate the clinic as long as it can. >> i call on governor parsons to take this issue seriously, to immediately stop weapon icing the regulatory process. >> reporter: what is not clear is how long the injunction will stay in place. legal abortions will continue in missouri and we will watch the story. shannon: no license but the doors are open and the legal fight continues. let's discuss with jim the green and the director of strategic communications, great to have both of you with us tonight. the ap headline is missouri reject license for abortion clinic, among the problems of the investigators have cited with two failed abortions requiring additional surgeries and another that led to life-threatening complications for the mother. aside from abortion with your pro-choice or pro-life, what does this say about the fact that these are health standards you would want anybody regardless of what treatment they are seeking to be safe and protected and this clinic will not cooperate with the investigation. >> i'm definitely pro-woman and that is what these anti-health politicians are not. i hear you on these fabricated regulations that anti-health politicians have created to shutdown abortion services in missouri. this is strategic. it is a decade-long plan. this is something that the organization has been focused on. it is not about these regulations but shutting down abortion. >> there are documented cases and i have read this, talking about women thinking they had a successful abortion and come back weeks later finding out they are still pregnant, all kinds of things that are very odd to happen and they are looking for answers. they won't do interviews or make themselves available. a number of women have gone to the hospital, if you are pro-women i would think you would want all of them to be safe. >> i want this service to stop being the most inappropriately regulated health service in the country. this is a decision between a woman, her family, her doctor, her god. politicians like the governor in missouri have wanted to shutdown abortions and whether how large your door size is. these regulations are intended to shutdown abortion and that is against women's health. shannon: what about the point? planned parenthood says the governor in their statement, health and human services weapon icing the regulatory process to deny an abortion facility a license to be the last remaining health center that provides abortion. you heard the argument but she's not alone in people saying it is really just about shutting down access to legal abortion and that is what this is about. >> let's talk about what this report says. our doors stay open no matter what. now we know what that is. this planned parenthood in st. louis failed 24 very health and safety standards. one of those was failing to follow state law. they are not regulations but laws put in place to keep women safe. things like expired medications being used. they were using single-dose medicines on multiple people, multiple patients. this st. louis planned parenthood has sent women who thought they got abortions back still pregnant, they had to return for a second abortion and send with sepsis and lightning complications, the document is 60 pages long of problems at this location. they should not receive a license. this is not political. the health department made clear we cannot give this license in good conscience to this facility and planned parenthood who says they care for women, that they put safety first, will not cooperate. they only address four of those 30 discrepancies so absolutely we applaud missouri for doing the right thing and planned parenthood wanted to take care of women they shouldn't be not cooperating with this investigation. they are hurting women at this facility. we are applauding missouri for doing the right thing. women should be terrified to walk into planned parenthood. it is a taxpayer-funded travesty. a taxpayer-funded trap for women when they put abortion money over safety every time. >> both sides of had their say. there is a lot of heat and light in this topic and it will continue with the courts. we will track it and have you come back. thank you very much. born male, now a trans-female as not being allowed -- lifting competition. this is a hot topic at the center of night court. our legal eagles our next. on the docket tonight aches discrimination complaint in minnesota against usa power lifting after a trans heather: in minnesota against ge usa powerlifting after a transgender athlete, biological male identifying as female was not allowed to compete in the women's bench press event. tonight have legal eagles here to break it down. washington times legal affairs reporter alex lawyer. great to have you with us tonight. gender justice says in a statement like other female athletes, jc is facing policies rooted in bias, fear and unfounded stereotypes. we believe usa powerlifting over the top blanket ban on transgender women athletes is clear discrimination under minnesota law and we will fight for jc's opportunity to compete. >> i think there are right that issue here. it is important women's rights matter too and similar rights protect and courts have viewed that is gender. could that change in the future? possibly. there cases pending before the supreme court next turned but this time i think we have to think about all people involved. it could put women at a disadvantage in terms of science. we talk about height, weight, speed. there are differences biologically between men and women. shannon: analysis of scientific data reflects the inherent differences in strengthened powerlifting between biological males and biological females. they went through puberty and are inherently discriminatory against the federally protected class of women. >> there is an interesting case. can't wait to see how it breaks down but i think there will be difficulty for usa and what they did. there are already a protected class under state law. secondarily, there was a decision, $20,000 jury verdict, who are transgender, who want to go into the women's football league and was denied and there was a considered violation of state law. thirdly, the international olympic committee and international federal power committee has since 2004 allowed transgender to go into power with different testosterone levels are at a certain point thinking they are not medically in a better position. they essentially admitted the drugs they have to take, substantially weakened, they can't perform like men but are not allowing them to go in so essentially you deprive a transgender person from ever competing anywhere. the courts will not look favorably on that. shannon: i am no stranger to a challenge, usa power blanket ban violates not just the law but the spirit of sports. how much do you think that will factor in? >> it is interesting to see. what we have seen so far in places like connecticut, women have spoken out and said they are always playing second. they know the outcome before the race begins. i remember the 70s there was a trans-female who entered the us open at 25, 32 women pulled out. it could be as some women have come forward, it could end of destroying female sports because wants to compete for second. shannon: quick final word for you, bob, from usa powerlifting, the dispute goes to the heart of whether it is appropriate for government to intrude on practices and rules of private entity acting to protect fairplay in recognition of scientific evidence, they say, about the factors involved. >> that is right. i was shocked when researching this. there is a lot of dispute about scientific evidence. it is not clear. i would imagine down the road, if you lower your testosterone level to a point what females are at how can you argue being born a male you have an advantage? that is the first thing. secondarily the government does have a right to ensure protected classes are not discriminated on. shannon: the powerlifting group says they are trying to protect classes of women as a protected class. it could be a landmark. thank you very much. you at home are the jury. that is now at shannon bream or fox news at night. our midnight hero
