Friday of potentially grave consequences for iran. Im not looking for war, and if there is it will be obliteration like youve never seen before, but im not looking to do that, but you cant have a nuclear weapon. This afternoon the president announced additional sanctions will be rolled out on monday though he didnt offer any specifics. He tweeted that he looks forward to seeing those sanction become unnecessary some day, but san sanctions are what worry many americans, war does. Tom foreman joinses us with conflicts from the past wont compare from what will come from a fullscale battle from iran. Tom . The u. S. Military were to go after iran they would be taking on a robust military. About a Million People people guarding an area about twice the size of texas, but more importantly the fight could easily spill beyond iran to places where they have agents and allies who might very well take up the battle. Iraq, for example, shia militia there backed by iran could very well start going after remaining u. S. Troops in that region. If you go over here to syria, same thing. Shia militia. Plus phezbollah backed by iran and considered a terrorist group by the United States and there are a few hundred there and that could make them particularly vulnerable. Lets take a look at lebanon here. In lebanon, hezbollah could be firing rockets across the border into israel and that could very well be expected and israel an important u. S. Ally and the same thing with hamas in gaza. Take it down to yemen and there you see Houthi Rebels taking on u. S. Forces and in the emirates and even in afghanistan you could still have fighters loyal to iran going after u. S. Troops there. All of which could expand the fight. Consider this, too, iran, very well could try to shut down this, the strait of hormuz through which onefifth of the worlds Petroleum Products pass. This is the most important choke point in the world and that could be in some jeopardy and of course, dont forget irans missiles which could easily reach u. S. Bases throughout this region. None of this has to happen if the u. S. Takes military action against iks ran, but military and political activists say all of it could. Ana . Tom foreman, thank you. The president today did something of a victory lap over his lastminute switch on the military strike. Were getting a let of praote for what i did. People on both sides, some like it and some probably not as much. With us now democratic congressman garamendi. Lets pick up right there. Do you find yourself praising the president s decision not to attack . It is the right decision, but it was after making the wrong decision. The right decision after the wrong decision. The wrong decision was not to come to congress and seek aut authority to take any military action he thought was necessary. He announced he was going to take action and shortly thereafter announced that he was not creating considerable confusion. All to a good ending. Now going forward, the question is how do we hold iran accountable for shooting down our very valuable, very, very important asset . There are multiple ways they can be done. The president will issue more sanctions. Thats the plan for monday. Is that the right move . It may very well be. Lets see what those sanctions are. There are other things that can be done. This is where thoughtful, careful analysis needs to be in place. Unfortunately, most of the potential for thought doesnt exist any longer at least certainly in disarray. The entire department of defense is in the process of change at the highest levels at the navy, the air force and the department itself with the secretary of defense and some of the other key personnel are moving on to other jobs or retiring and so there is a bit of a vacuum there. Obviously, the state department has been seriously short for many, many days or months now of key personnel and key experts in the area. Now, hopefully the president will get very sound advice although he didnt believe the intelligence agency. Its time for him to listen to them and to learn from them. All of this requires thought. It requires thinking beyond the initial action and thinking to the second order event. We do something then what does iran do and you just had a very dead grip good description of what they might do. Do you think the positive reaction hes seeing will enforce his thinking that operating on instincts works best for him . I hope not. Operating on instincts is never a good idea. Operating on emotion is never a good idea. All of that you need to take into context as you heard prior to come coming onboard and we have personnel assets and bases if iran chooses to attack any of our assets and any of you are you are other that doesnt we are not in that stage now and we are in what we call a stable ge retaliation and that are things that go boom or sanctions or it may be some other action and one other thing that is absolutely necessary and that is that we do not go it alone. We need to rally support for either sanctions and if it comes to a kinetic action, again, we need to have our allies with us. Unfortunately, the president has created a very difficult situation in which he moved the United States out of the joint jcpoa. That was the Nuclear Agreement to stop iran from building a bomb within the next ten to 15 years. Were no longer a part of that and our allies are and therefore weve isolated ourselves. The house passed a bill this week that would repeal the authorized use of military force that was approved after 9 11. It has specific language about not authorizing force against iran, but as you know, thats probably not going to get very far in the republicanled senate. So would that inadvertently give the president a constitutional loophole to order an attack . No. I dont believe so. Clearly, iran does not come under the 2001 authorization to use force in afghanistan. It is just not appropriate to use that at all. Although i light say that the administration has tried i think without any success to shoehorn that. A new authorization to use force would be necessary and there are two different ways to attack this. One is what we are working on in the Arms Services commit wet National Defense authorization act and thats to does if the president has no authority to attack i rap unless he gets an organization to use force, and i think there is broad republican support for that and given what the president did on the military attack and i think that puts that legislation in place and it must be a mustpass piece of legislation and the senate would go along with it. We do need please go ahead. I was just going to say we yeah. Go. After you. I was just going to say we do need a new authorization to use force. The old 2001 is no longer violent. We are actually using that in 16 countries around the world. Not a good thing. You mentioned earlier all of the holes in thiS Administration with all of the acting people, acting defense secretary and acting dhs secretary, for example, acting u. N. Ambassador. The president last night nominated mark esper to become the next defense secretary. Does esper have your support . He will. Ive worked with him with the troops on the land on the sea on the ground and in the air being ready to go to war if necessary. Ive worked very closely with him as he has been the army secretary. I think he can do a good job and we surely need to have him soon, not later, soon. The senate the president needs to get that nomination to the senate and the senate needs to act. We cannot have the kind of uncertainty that has existed for the last almost six months now. Congressman john garamendi, thank you very much for being here. Thank you. Nearly all of the 2020 candidates are in South Carolina right now making their pitch to black voters. We are waiting for joe biden to speak. Well bring that to you live as it happens. And some breaking news, President Trump says he will not go through with the i. C. E. Raids and deportations in ten major cities that was expected to happen tomorrow.

With licensed agents available 24 7. Its not just easy. Its havingawalrusingoal easy roooaaaar its a walrus ridiculous yes nice save, big guy good job duncan way to go [chanting] its not just easy. Its geico easy. Oh, duncan. Stay up. No sleepies. Since my dvt blood clot i was thinking. Its geico easy. Could there be another around the corner . Or could it turn out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fda approved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for 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. Whats around the corner could be surprising. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Thanks for coming. No problem. Youre welcome. This is the durabed of the all new chevy silverado. It looks real sturdy. The bed is huge.

At the request of democrats i have delayed the illegal immigration removal process deportation for two weeks to see if the democrats and republicans can get together and work out a solution to the asylum and loophole problems at the southern border. If not, deportations start. Lets go live to the white house and cnn White House Correspondent boris sanchez. Boris, this is a complete about face from what we heard from the president literally just hours before he fired off this tweet. Youre exactly right, ana. Yeah. This appears to be a brief stepback from President Trump who on monday promised that millions of undocumented immigrants would be deported and the white house clearing that up to cnn insfted that it would be limited to 2,000 undocumented immigrants who had a court order that would be removed from the country that would be taking place in ten cities. We some point out that our colleague jake tapper got a reporting from a white house official who told him that the president had a phone call with House Speaker nancy pelosi last night and the call happened at 7 00 p. M. , and lasted about 12 minutes and were hearing that House Speaker pelosi requested that the president called off these raids. It is unclear exactly how that may have motivated the president to position himself to delay these raids for two weeks because, as you noted before he left the white house for camp david this afternoon, he defended his decision to carry out these raids and listen to what he said. These are people that came into the country illegally. Theyve been served and have gone through a process and the process of the courts and they have to be removed from the country. They will be removed from the country. Its having a very big effect on the border, the fact that were taking them out, the people that came into the country illegally are going to be removed from the country. So ana, it appears the president made this decision while at camp david. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted out in part, delay is welcome and the time is needed for comprehensive immigration e deform. Administration officials have told cnn that the acting director, the acting secretary of department of Homeland Security kevin mcleland was hesitant to carry out these, over the issue of immigration. No indication that two weeks would be enough time for a breakthrough on an issue that has been contentious and one not only central to the president S Administration and his candidacy going into 2020 ana . Boris sanchez at the white house. Thank you. The raids were scheduled to take place in ten cities across the country and i. C. E. Had planned to target families. Many of these mayors had been speaking out against these raids. Eric garcetti, the mayor of los angeles is among them and he joins us from los angeles. First, you reaction to the president calling off these raids for the next couple of weeks. Hello, ana, and im glad that the families here in los angeles and across the country can sleep easier and they dont have to worry if theyre at church or having a barbecue leading up to the fourth of july weekend to wonder whether parents will be taken away and whether grand parents wont be there, but you know, this is really the weakness and failure that weve seen of this president to produce anything when it comes to immigration. There are mayors like myself who every single day deal with integration and policing our streets with Incredible Police officers and what we saw her was a welcome backing off. I find it ironic in a week in which the president backed off in iran and he said he potentially didnt want the Collateral Damage of 150 lives and he still has the threat of a million residents still hanging over their heads and its just delayed for a couple of weeks. He says hes doing it at the request of democrats. Do you buy that . It may be the reason, i think Speaker Pelosi for herr activism and a lot of them for raising our voices. These are often the parents of u. S. Citizen children. We are pro family here in los angeles and in cities across the country and thats why we dont believe in not only dividing american people, but dividing families and 63 of the businesses on the main streets of my city are opened by immigrants and many of them undocumented who like my grandfather who was undocumented immigrant who came to mexico during war when his father was killed. He became a veteran and earned his citizenship and we have those same stories living on the streets and i hope the president can listen to him and he promised him hed do something and he can act and not hold those pieces hostage for a wall that hes been unable to build. The president was defending these raids earlier today saying the target was ms13. Listen. Were very focused on ms13 getting them out and i hope youre not going to stick up too much for ms13, but were very focused, i. Chlt kr c. E. , these fantastic people and were very focused at getting ms13 out of this country. Mayor, if the president is targeting ms13 are you concerned hes just given them a twoweek heads up . Yes, tactically it was a bad thing to do. Theres been no more effective force at bringing down ms13 than the Los Angeles Police department. We have to go to the source of the problem which hes ignoring in places like Central America and heres the irony, ana. He defunded and threatened to defund funds that go to the lapd officers that we use for antigang operations such as ms13 because he decided were a sanctuary city. Heres a president talking tough with ms13 and Defunding Police with the very funds that would go after ms13. According to figures as early as 2016, i. C. E. Plans to target 2 hun families throughout the entire country. Do you have an idea how many i. C. E. May try to arrest in the next couple of weeks. Its not a million in los angeles. Its a million in Southern California which is 20 million americans that live in this region. My understanding there are 800 i. C. E. Officers and 600 to 800. Theres no way that anyone can fizzec fi physically deport 1 Million People. We know this is a political game. I think people see through that and so were hoping that this is a president who can focus living up to his own word. He told me when he was president elect he wanted to do com pro hencive Immigration Reform and he told dreamers dont worry, ill take care of you and they are the victims, unfortunately. We dont know if it was 140, maybe in my city there are a couple dozen people who are targeted and nobody who is a dangerous or violent criminal should be protected simply because they were undo you meaned and we had a strategy to go after the sharks and now its throw the net into the water and say you got 160 guppies and while the shark is still out in the option. You say you wont allow your police force to assist in the raids and there are other measures you will take to protect these immigrants. We are letting people kno
