4:00 pm
seven days, don't. >> do that. >> if you do have to go outside, play it safe. find plenty of shade and make sure you drink. >> plenty of water. what's riding. the northern edge of this heat dome? it is a. >> lot of thunderstorms. we are looking at strong to severe thunderstorms. potentially over the weekend across the great lakes on into the northeast. >> main threat threats here. >> strong winds, large hail, and yes, the potential for some isolated tornadoes. back to. >> you. >> well, coming up sunday on state of the union, homeland security secretary kristi noem, former u.n. ambassador john bolton, israeli president isaac herzog and democratic senator adam schiff of california. that's sunday morning at 9:00 eastern and again at noon here on cnn. have a great weekend. erin burnett outfront starts now outfront next, breaking news. >> iran and israel. >> trading fire tonight as the. >> president undermines his director of national
4:01 pm
intelligence, again, saying. >> she's wrong. >> that iran is. >> not building a. >> nuclear bomb. plus thousands taking to the streets in tehran and across iran, saying punch the u.s. in the mouth, as well as chants of death to america. our fred pleitgen, the only western journalist on the ground, also breaking vice president jd vance in l.a. right now, making a point of visiting an ice command center. the city itself, on edge after the dodgers said they blocked immigration agents from their stadium. let's go out front good evening. i'm erica hill in for erin burnett. outfront tonight, the breaking news, new explosions over israel and iran. israel tonight claiming it's intercepted more than a dozen drones from tehran. its three cities in iran come under attack by israel, including an area that's home to a nuclear power plant. the intense exchanges coming as iran insists it will not meet with the u.s. until israel stops attacking. that is something donald trump says he won't ask the israelis to do.
4:02 pm
>> i think it's very hard to make that request right now if somebody is winning. it's a little bit harder to do than if somebody is losing. >> the president also making it clear the u.s. could join israel's assault at any moment. >> we're going to see what that period of time is, but i'm giving them a period of time. and i would say two weeks would be the maximum. >> the maximum. putting iran on notice that an attack by the u.s. could come at any time. this also comes as trump is once again undermining his own director of national intelligence, and her assessment of iran's nuclear program. >> what intelligence do you have that iran is building a nuclear weapon? your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point. >> well, then my intelligence community is wrong. who in the intelligence community said. >> that your director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard. >> she's wrong. >> she's wrong. you'll recall gabbard testified back in march, iran was not actively building a
4:03 pm
nuclear weapon. yet donald trump, as you just heard, there, telling reporters, not only is iran building a nuclear weapon, but he says it could be ready to go basically any day now i think within a matter of weeks, or certainly within a matter of months, they're going to be able to have a nuclear weapon it is unclear what the president is basing that assessment on. and as tensions rise, the president is also warning reporters to make iran's threats against u.s. targets seriously. >> we're always concerned about that, and we have to take them out and be very strong. you're even in danger talking to me right now. do you know that you are in danger talking to me right now jeremy diamond is out front. >> he is live in tel aviv. so, jeremy, what is the latest there on the ground at this hour? >> well, today we saw the destructive power of iranian ballistic missiles on display. once again, a barrage of more than 20 missiles being aimed at israel, sending the entire
4:04 pm
country rushing into bomb shelters. millions of people all at once, going into those shelters. there were several impacts, both in southern israel as well as in the northern part of the country. in the city of haifa, near to haifa's big commercial port, there was a strike there that injured dozens of people. one person in serious condition, two others in moderate condition. the rest were lightly injured. a mosque nearby was also damaged in the process, and this comes as israelis are left to wonder what this two week window of diplomacy will actually lead to. it has put the israeli government in a bit of a bind, to be honest, because, you know, they will have to make a decision first of all, about whether or not they will have to try and go and destroy that fordo nuclear facility alone, or whether they want to wait to see whether president trump will ultimately authorize those u.s. strikes on that facility, which is buried deep beneath the mountain. and the best way to get at it would be using those
4:05 pm
u.s. 30,000 pound, bunker busting bombs. and then, of course, there's the fact that day after day, we are continuing to see deadly strikes by israel in iran. and also these strikes here in israel by those iranian ballistic missiles, we haven't seen any fatalities in recent days. but certainly when you look at the images of the destruction, you know that it's only because of those bomb shelters and those air raid warnings that we haven't seen anyone die here in recent days. but that possibility still certainly looms. and the danger is there every single day that this conflict continues, as neither side seems interested in backing down, and also as the israelis talk not only about destroying iran's nuclear program, but also increasingly about regime change, or at least creating the conditions for regime change on the ground in iran. >> erica. jeremy diamond in tel aviv for us tonight. thank you. kristen holmes is outfront at the white house. so, kristen, president trump today did not seem willing to put any pressure on israel to stop saying that it
4:06 pm
would be hard, in his words, what is the thinking in terms of that next move right now at the white house? >> well, right now they really are trying to get iran to come to the table. we saw that with those european talks. we know that the european foreign minister from the united kingdom was here yesterday talking to steve witkoff and delivered a message directly to the iranians. and that's what donald trump was actually responding to, was the iranians saying that they weren't going to come to the table and negotiate directly with the united states, unless, of course, the united states told benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, to essentially agree to a cease fire. he said that would be hard. donald trump, he said, it's hard to tell somebody when they're winning a war to actually stop doing what they're doing. but again, president trump is really looking for an off ramp here and looking for a negotiation with iran and not to get the u.s. further involved in this conflict. and one of the things i want to mention here, you talked about the other thing that president trump talked about, which was essentially
4:07 pm
defying his director of national intelligence. tulsi gabbard something we've reported that there has been a really a kind of break between them, just at least on president trump's end, because he believes that she's off message when it comes to iran. she has now responded to the remarks that president trump made. she posted this on on twitter, saying the dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context in order to manufacture division. and then she says this, which is actually the critical part here. she says america has intelligence that iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months if they decide to finalize the assembly. president trump has been clear that that can't happen. and i agree this is not what she said in march when she said they had paused their nuclear program and had not renewed that since they had taken a step back on that. but thing we're going to be in the meetings coming up. and in those briefings, we know that the president was supposed to spend the entire weekend weekend at his bedminster golf resort in new jersey. instead, he's going up only tonight for a fundraiser
4:08 pm
so he can come back to the white house tomorrow for two briefings, saturday and sunday with his national security council will, of course, be watching to see if gabbard is included in those. she has been at the white house in recent days. her office has tried to downplay any sort of rift. but as you heard there, that was today. president trump saying she was wrong. she is wrong. and make no mistake, he knew who in his intelligence community had said that because he was just asked about it last week, specifically when he said the first time that she was wrong about the intelligence. so so him kind of playing into that question, saying who from my community said that was wrong. he knew who it was, who had said that he had just answered that question a few days before. >> yeah, absolutely. to your point, kristen, it's certainly a question that has come up multiple times over the last few days. so not a surprise there. interesting. the way he handled it, kristen. appreciate it. thank you. out front now republican congressman mike lawler he sits on the foreign affairs committee. retired general james spider marks and barak ravid, our political and
4:09 pm
global affairs analyst. gentlemen, nice to see all of you this evening. congressman lawler, do you agree with the president here that the director, that director gabbard's assessment that iran is not building a nuclear weapon is wrong? >> yes, and certainly. >> from my. >> conversations. >> both with the administration and just a. >> few weeks. >> ago in. >> the middle. >> east. >> met with saudi. >> arabia. >> israel and jordan. >> including prime minister. >> netanyahu. >> look. >> i don't. >> think there's any question iran is on the. >> verge of having. >> a nuclear weapon. >> it's why israel. >> felt the need. >> to. >> take action at. >> this time. the president gave. >> iran 60. >> days to negotiate. >> a deal that would. end their. >> nuclear program. >> and they. >> chose not. >> to. engage in a good. >> faith. >> negotiation. and so. not only. >> do. >> i support. >> the steps. >> that israel has taken, but i
4:10 pm
support the decisions. >> that the president. >> is in the process. >> of making. >> and ultimately. >> would support action. >> to assist israel. >> in ending. iran's nuclear program once and for all. >> the fact. >> is, the. middle east, over the last 19 months has undergone significant change, and. >> we are at. >> a moment, a pivotal moment in which you can actually establish real and lasting peace in the middle east. the collapse of hamas and hezbollah, the fall of assad and syria, the dismantlement of. iran's air defenses. and ultimately, if we're able to. >> end their nuclear. >> program. >> this. >> will create the opportunity for real peace in the middle east. >> as we watch all this play out. general marks, having spent your career in army intelligence, it's not uncommon to have, of course, a difference of opinion. but to see this very public disagreement over the facts between the president and the dni, those facts are
4:11 pm
critical in this moment, especially as the u.s. potentially moves forward. how damaging could that be? >> well, i. >> tell you. >> having been told i'm wrong multiple times in my career, i understand exactly what that what that means. i'm being challenged. i've got to get back and figure it out. in other words, if i am presenting options to my commander in chief, my boss, and they are completely off base, we've we've got work to do. i mean, that's number one. and then the fact that it was done publicly. i mean, that's a that's a punch in the face. that relationship has got to be fixed or tulsi gabbard becomes irrelevant if she's not part of the going forward. national security invitation list, then our intelligence work is going to be at ad hoc. which which has happened before. so administrations have gone through these kinds of changes and these kinds of challenges before. but i think it's important to realize that, you
4:12 pm
know, the president, the president's intuition or his desire to achieve a political end state will always drive what what that decision making looks like. and i think it's important to realize that if there is a three month or a multiple month, multiple year pathway for a nuclearization of a weapon and iran, i got it. that's a pretty conservative timeline. however, khamenei could pick up the phone tomorrow and call his buddy and the axis of evil and kim jong un and say, hey, you got a couple of nukes, ship one my way. and i'm not being facetious here, but we could at a very close point for nuclearization. and the intel world has gotten stuff wrong before, so this is now playing out in public, which is unfortunate. >> yeah. when we look at where things stand in this moment, iran today said, barack, that it would only meet the u.s. for nuclear talks if israel would agree to stop striking iran.
4:13 pm
here's how president trump responded when he was asked about that today it's very hard to stop when you look at it. >> israel is doing well in terms of war, and i think you would say that iran is doing less well. it's a little bit hard to get somebody to stop. >> brock. do you think israel would agree to that? >> there's no chance israel would. >> agree to. >> stop the. >> war, only. >> to facilitate. >> talks between. >> iran and the u.s. if iran wants. >> negotiations. >> it will have to. >> do those. >> negotiations under fire i do think, however, that. >> if the iranians. >> came today. >> and said. >> let's meet tomorrow, if it came to the u.s. and. >> said. >> let's meet tomorrow to discuss a nuclear deal along the parameters that the u.s. proposed, i think it most likely president trump will go to benjamin netanyahu and tell him,
4:14 pm
listen, you did your job. you did what you had to do. now allow me space to do what i want to do. think. but at least for now, the iranians don't seem to be close to, you know, making those those decisions. i just want to maybe also propose an explanation to what you discussed earlier on the different versions between president trump and tulsi gabbard. there is an option. it's not an option. i think the reality is that both of them are right, because on the one hand, tulsi gabbard is right that the supreme leader in iran did not give an order to his people. go build a nuclear weapon now. but president trump is right when he says that the iranians have taken steps in numerous avenues in their nuclear program. that gets them very close to the point that within a very short
4:15 pm
time, once the supreme leader gives such a such an order, they will be able to build a nuclear device, a crude nuclear device, in like 2 or 3 months, which is a very short timeline. and sometime there is a chance that the intelligence services, because it's such a short timeline, will not know in time. and that's why i think both president trump and director of national intelligence gabbard, are actually right. >> which i have, which i have heard, i should point out from others that i've spoken to over this past week that they can both be correct in that moment. but it brings us back to really what you were talking about, spider. and that's the fact that to have this play out so publicly, to have that there be this different interpretation of, if you will, of the facts that could be potentially damaging not only to the administration but to the way that this is received on an international stage, on the global stage. so when you're looking at that, congressman, and we have what is, you know, what donald trump he's saying, this is a pause to hopefully get democracy to work. it's also an
4:16 pm
opportunity for him to do what he can to help get to that point, which we know the president would like to play that role. he has said he thinks it's hard to ask israel to stop. he explained why, but given that he wants to give diplomacy a chance here, do you think this is actually an opportune moment for the president to go to the prime minister and say, hey, let's think about a pause for a minute while we can get this scheduled well, again, i think president trump obviously wanted to avoid conflict. >> that's why. he gave. >> iran 60 days to. negotiate a deal. >> on their. >> nuclear ambitions. >> and ultimately. >> they failed to reach an. >> agreement in those 60 days. and obviously, you know, i met with prime minister netanyahu just a few weeks ago. and one of the things he said to me that really stuck was we fight. or we die. the fact is, over the last year, iran has shown a willingness not only to fund. >> its. >> terror proxies, but to actually.
4:17 pm
>> launch ballistic. >> missiles in the hundreds at a time. at israel, indiscriminately targeting civilian populations. and but for david's sling and iron dome, you would have had mass casualties across the state of israel. so the fact is that the prime minister does not have the luxury of time. he does not have the ability to wait until iran launches the nuclear weapon. and so, you know, the failure of iran to reach an agreement created this situation in which the prime minister acted. i think the president obviously wants to avoid greater conflict. he wants to avoid this spiraling into a regional conflict. but i think the president's comments are correct, which is, look, israelis have a responsibility to finish this. obviously, if we can. >> reach. >> an agreement, great. that's why the president is giving iran two more weeks to actually come
4:18 pm
to the table. but the fact is, if they fail to do so, i do believe we have to be prepared to act and support israel to finish the job spider quickly before before i let you go, when we look at the threats right. >> president trump was asked again today about the risk to u.s. targets abroad. should the u.s. get involved. there has been some discussion, too, about potentially cells in the u.s. that could be a major concern. how concerned are you about retaliation specifically on u.s. soil? >> well, very much so. it's the notion of an asymmetry in terms of a response on the part of the iranians they can get beyond the region. they certainly are dealing with a significant challenge right now. the iranians and the irgc has been wounded, but they still have great capacity. and there have been penetrations that have taken place not only in europe but in the continental united states. so there is legitimate concern that we need to be that we need to be prepared for. and certainly the increase of u.s. presence in the region increases
4:19 pm
our exposure. but we know how to handle that as well. >> yeah. gentlemen, thank you all for joining me on this friday night. outfront next, breaking news, anger boiling over in iran right now. the chants of death to america in the streets. our fred pleitgen was one of the first western journalists to report from iran after those first attacks. and he filed a special report. we'll bring that to you next. plus, vice president jd vance in los angeles right now, making a point to visit i.s.i.s. command center as anger grows over trump's crackdown. and you're going to need a bigger boat. the blockbuster horror film jaws turning 50 today. harry enten is here to tell us something we don't know about this classic. >> i've decided. >> to take on a very ambitious feast in my new home of marbella. with these dishes, the party should be a slam dunk. >> it's always sunny. >> in marbella. >> no. >> eva longoria. >> searching for spain sunday at nine on cnn. it's the. >> sleep number. >> 4th of.

4:24 pm
>> tonight at 8:00 on cnn breaking news. >> the state department is warning iran of dire consequences if it targets u.s. interests or personnel. but as our fred pleitgen reports, the first major western journalist on the ground in iran heard today, there is also no shortage of threats coming from iran to the u.s. fred is out front in tehran with more death to israel chants to a massive crowd after tehran's friday prayers. >> the streets packed for a protest against israel's aerial campaign, but also the policies of the trump administration. we will punch the united states and israel in the mouth, he says. on trump. you are threatening my leader. this woman says, don't you know my nation believes death is sweeter than honey? what do you have? israel? he says, you have nothing. you are occupiers. unreligious. you're killing people, killing women. you kill everyone. you're
4:25 pm
terrorists. people here vowing not to back down. as the conflict escalates and president trump ponders u.s. involvement. as you can see, thousands of people have turned up here in central tehran. they're chanting down with the u.s.a., down with israel. and they're warning if the trump administration gets involved and the standoff between israel and iran, it will lead to direct confrontation between washington and tehran as israel continues to hit targets inside iran and the iranians answer with missile barrages striking israeli territory. iran's foreign minister met with european nations. >> we are entitled. >> tasked. >> and determined to defend our territorial integrity, national sovereignty. >> and security with all force. >> this is our inherent right. >> iran's leadership says air attacks are unifying people against israel. a member of iran's presidency calling on president trump to rein the
4:26 pm
israelis in. >> president trump. >> can easily stop. >> the war. >> by only one. telephone to israel. but i don't know why he. >> didn't do that. >> with public support seemingly growing, iran's leadership says it's ready for a long term confrontation with israel and possibly the united states as well. fred pleitgen, cnn, tehran out front, now, the host of fareed zakaria gps, fareed, is with us. >> fareed. so you just heard fred's reporting there, iran claiming that israel's attacks are unifying people against israel, that it's ready for this long term confrontation and, if necessary, not just with israel, but the u.s. as well. how sincere do you believe iran is when it comes to potential concessions, then, to end this conflict? >> the iranians are always. >> put on a very. >> tough and brave. >> front. >> they generally are. >> very, very tough. >> negotiators.
4:27 pm
>> it's also probably true, as in any country. >> when you have an attack from a foreign nation. >> it has. >> an effect of unifying the country or kind of rally around the flag. but it's a pretty unpopular regime. it has driven the economy into the ground. you know, it has some support, but it's not very deep. so i suspect that what we're watching now is the kind of routine, performative bravado. it's very tough to tell whether or not they'll be willing to make concessions. yet i suspect that that the israeli campaign is going to continue unabated. the iranians are not going to make concessions now. but in two weeks, if there's two weeks, more of this, you might begin to see some some shift in the iranian position. but it will it will not be easy. this is these are tough negotiators. they've been bazaaris for thousands of years. >> and as we are in this this period, which could be this maximum of two weeks, as donald
4:28 pm
trump said today, this it's interesting the number of times that we are starting to hear iraq brought up. donald trump was asked specifically today, what's different about the intelligence now being in this moment in 2025 versus what the u.s. relied on before going into iraq in 2003? this was his answer. >> well, there were no weapons of mass destruction. i never thought there were. >> easy, of course, to say in hindsight, he wasn't specific about what's different, but it's tough to ignore the growing concerns, right? given the chasm that we did hear today between president trump and his own intelligence committee and the concerns, this could be another iraq. do you think those concerns, even that analogy, is that well-founded? >> i think that there is always it's always worthwhile to be very cautious. it is very easy to start wars. it is very difficult to end them. and there is always a tendency towards
4:29 pm
hubris when you're in initial military attacks go well, and that is what i worry about, both for israel and for the united states. donald trump is clearly trying to kind of get in on the action of what seems like an effective military operation, but there are big differences. you know, nobody's talking about troops on the ground. certainly the united states has no intention of doing that it's also fair to say, as you in your previous segment, the iranians did make a very substantial dash towards more enrichment. now, more enrichment is very different from making nuclear weapons. but they did something they haven't done in many, many years. they went up to 60% enrichment, huge number of centrifuges. so they were clearly trying to do something, probably to get the world's attention. i think they miscalculated. they didn't mean to get the attention this way, but there was a change in the
4:30 pm
iranians, you know, the way iran was pursuing its nuclear program. they did do a big ramp up. so it's fair to say there was some activity there. so i think that if the general lesson to draw from iraq is, you know, think carefully, imagine all the ramifications. imagine if things don't don't succeed, it's a worthwhile analogy, particularly for the united states, to remember that toppling a regime in the middle east does not always lead to a good outcome. look at libya, look at iraq, look at afghanistan. there are so many examples of that where what you get is chaos. and sometimes sometimes something even more radical. >> yeah. and that understandably, some of the concern and one would hope some of the calculus in this moment, fareed, appreciate it as always. thank you. pleasure outfront next, the breaking news, vice president jd vance in los angeles right now, making a point to visit an ice command center even as the city reels over trump's immigration raids

>> there wasn't the. >> theater. >> and that's all it is. you know, i think everybody realizes that's what this is. >> it's pure political theater. >> california's governor, gavin newsom, immediately firing back on social media, calling him jose padilla is not an accident, the governor said. vance at the federal building that i.c.e. is right now using as a command center. his visit coming, of course, amid protests and tense standoffs over i.s.i.s. raids in the state. stephanie elam is in los angeles, so stephanie vance really not holding back at that presser. he did. also, we talked about the governor's response there. he also went after governor newsom. >> several times, he went after governor. newsom and. >> also los. >> angeles mayor karen bass calling out. both of them, saying that they were encouraging violence. he said it several times. he also said that this was something that. >> was necessary. >> you see behind me, the national guard is here. it's worth mentioning that this is the same federal building where the vice president was, where senator alex padilla, not jose padilla, where senator alex padilla was wrestled to the ground just about a week ago. so
4:37 pm
this is the same building that this happened in. and he was saying the vice president was saying that it's necessary for the national guard and for the marines to stay here because they don't they want to be able to respond if there's another flare up of tensions like we saw far on the other side of town in downtown los angeles, that began on, i think that was june 6th friday when we saw that flare up start. he's saying that we need to keep them here so that they're able to respond. i think for those of us who are out there covering the protests, you can see that a lot of the local law enforcement was taking the lead. the california highway patrol, the sheriff's department, the lapd were the ones who were taking the lead. as things did get aggressive, though, that's when you would see at the end of last week that we did see some of the marines and national guard members helping to stop those people who were agitating and difficult ways. but overall, it's just another time here that we've seen people out here with their signs saying that these people here are here are a waste of money because it's not necessary
4:38 pm
to have this level of protection for a federal building when most people are walking around in flip flops. erica. >> stephanie. important points. good to see you. thank you. i'm joined now by lindsey horvath, l.a. county supervisor. it's good to have you here tonight. you know, as stephanie ran through what happened just in these last few moments there with the vice president in los angeles, and then we saw the the response from the governor saying it was no accident that he called senator alex padilla. jose padilla, what do you make of that that's exactly right. >> it was no accident. >> he is targeting a community. this administration is targeting. >> a. >> community. >> and they're, you know, saying the quiet part out loud. no rioters. >> are. >> burning our city to the streets. what burnt our city are the fires that we had earlier. >> this year. >> and if the federal government really wanted to help us, they'd focus on the assistance that needs to continue to help people on the ground. they wouldn't be going to places of work like the two home depots and the lowe's that were. >> raided in. >> my district just yesterday, where people are going to work.
4:39 pm
they're trying to support their families, and they're also trying to support families who need to rebuild their homes and their lives. this isn't targeting violent criminals. this is targeting working people. this is an assault on working people and families who are just trying to take care of themselves. so i think this administration has it all turned around. they're not clear about what's happening in los angeles. i'm happy to tour the vice president around the city so he can actually see what's happening on the ground. >> did you reach out to his office with that offer? >> i haven't personally reached out. this is, you know, just absurd to hear that our vice president is saying these kinds of things, you know, senator padilla was his colleague in the senate. he you know, he knows exactly who our senior senator is from california. i mean, this is what he is saying is to be inflammatory. he's talking about calming the tensions. it's the federal government that has escalated what's going on here in los angeles. and the best thing that could happen is for them all to leave and for us to
4:40 pm
continue conducting the work that needs to be done to take care of our residents and keep our communities safe. >> i'm curious, number one, if you do reach out right and offer that opportunity to tour him around, please do keep us posted because i'd love to know if he takes you up on it. and also what that moment is like. and just quickly, before we move on, i'm just curious your take on the timing here, because as stephanie laid out, what we were hearing from the vice president is he says he needs to keep the national guard. the marines basically on call just in case. as steph was laying out for us, you know, people walking around in flip flops where he is right there. what does this say about the timing for his visit? >> well, it's showing us that the federal government is militarizing our streets. they're bringing more guns onto our streets. they're bringing more tension and more of an escalation onto our streets, when what we need is a calming in this community, a uniting in this community to support one another. they claim to care about working families, and it's clear that they don't. they claim to care about, you know, protecting our safety when all they are doing is escalating the tensions that are happening
4:41 pm
here. we already know that they went out of chain of command, which is the most important thing that you can respect when it comes to public safety. so if they really want to focus on safety, then they should take a look at what's going on in this community because we are more than capable of keeping people safe here in los angeles. what we need to do is support them with care and services and stop militarizing our streets. >> l.a. county supervisor lindsey horvath, appreciate you joining us tonight. thank you thank you. up next, donald trump's director of national intelligence tonight, trying to get back in the president's good graces, putting out a new statement, agreeing now with trump's claims about iran. how did tulsi gabbard fall out of favor with trump so fast? plus, breaking news. air raid sirens going off right now in tel aviv. we'll bring you live to anderson cooper next billionaire boys club premieres sunday, july

4:47 pm
>> yeah. erica. >> we. >> got the. >> the warning about 13 or 14 minutes ago. people have come down to the bomb shelter. this is a countrywide warning. actually, it seems similar to the one we had about 12 hours ago, which was also pretty much in most places all across the state of israel. this warning has gone out. sometimes it's more a warning just for tel aviv or certain areas. this one is across the country. so everybody's been asked essentially to respond and get down to bomb shelters. we had the ten minute warning, which is when the ballistic missiles coming in, they they that's about how long it takes for them to get here so that they're able to warn about ten minutes out by the most part. and then we have the red alert a few moments ago, which is shortly right before we heard those explosions in the air. those interceptors going up. we do not have reports of any impact sites. how many of these missiles may or may not have gotten through? this is
4:48 pm
literally just happening as as you all were in, in commercial break. but this is just about 12 hours since the last barrage of missiles were fired by iran, hitting a building with a large explosion in haifa. no fatalities there. thankfully, though, a number of people were injured. another hit in beersheba. and that follows, obviously, another day, the previous day, in which there was also strikes in that hospital in beersheba and elsewhere. so it's routine, but it's something everybody here is still very much paying attention to. and this bomb shelter in this hotel, a lot of people here have come down, woken up and are here with their children. there's folks here with wheelchairs. there are folks here who are carrying children who are still sleeping. it's very calm. everyone is waiting for the all clear, which should take place any moment from now. and then life will continue on. >> erick as you mentioned, it's all it's it's calm. it is. it is somewhat routine. and yet for
4:49 pm
people who do not live through that, tough to think about. you mentioned that these were alerts that were going out. they were not localized tonight to just tel aviv, but actually alerts across the state of israel tonight. >> that's right. that's what we've seen on our devices. they they sort of we have some apps that will show us where these alerts are. so these were across the country. it gives you a sense of perhaps the seriousness of them. they can usually tell kind of where these these missiles are going. not always. sometimes there may be drones involved as well. and other and other kind of weapons. so we're going to have to wait and see and get official word of exactly where this was fired from, where the missiles were heading to, and what, if anything, has an impact, then. >> all right, anderson, really appreciate it. glad you and your team are safe, obviously, and we will get more from you. of course, anderson will be with us at the top of the hour on ac360.

also breaking tonight, director of national intelligence tulsi gabbard changing her tune after finding herself on the outs with the president justst moments ag posting this on social media. america has intelligence that iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months. president trump has been clear that can't happen, i agree. this after president trump today doubled down against gabbard, saying bluntly she's wrong. this after gabbard, who has said iran was not building a nuclear weapon and that the ayatollah had not reauthorized the nuclear program. tom foreman has more now on this serious rift the ic continues. >> to assess that iran is not building a nuclear weapon. >> director of national. >> intelligence tulsi. >> gabbard and her boss, president donald trump, appear at odds over what she said in march about iran's nuclear aspirations and what he is saying now. >> my intelligence community is wrong. who in the intelligence community said. >> that your director of national intelligence, tulsi

gabbard? >> she's wrong. >> as israel and iran pound each other, sources tell cnn the clash between trump and gabbard has been heating up. >> i recently. visited hiroshima in japan. >> ever since gabbard went off message and released this video just last week, which some close to trump saw as a swipe. >> political elite. >> and war. >> mongers are. carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between. nuclear powers. >> tulsi gabbard. >> back when gabbard was a democratic congressmember seeking her party's presidential nomination, she hammered trump's ideas about u.s. relations with iran. >> he has not. >> put the national. >> security interests of our country first. >> but as a member of the military who had served in iraq, she gradually warmed to his largely anti-interventionist message. >> president trump has pledged to end. >> wars. >> not start them. >> late last year, she turned republican and endorsed trump. he picked her for his

intelligence chief, despite questions about her dealings with the now deposed dictator of syria. and all seemed fine. >> most of you know tulsi, she's a fantastic woman. >> but now gabbard is under scrutiny for the way she is handling her job for spending too much time polishing her own public image and for how she is dealing with trump and trump with her. >> why was tulsi gabbard not invited to. >> the. >> camp david. >> meeting all day? >> you know why. national guard commitments reportedly kept her away from a key meeting on the mideast battles, but that did not keep big-name trump supporters from asking if she's lost his confidence. louisiana senator john kennedy reportedly said she obviously needs to change her meds. and although u.s. intelligence has said iran may yet be years from having a nuke, the white house is sending a much more alarming message. >> iran has never been closer to obtaining a nuclear weapon. >> as you noted at the top, erin, she is trying to get the

message out. gabbard, is that there is no distance between her and trump. they are not clashing, but undoubtedly there are whispers swirling around her at the white house and usually in any white house. that's not good. erin. >> definitely not. tom. appreciate it. thank you. you're welcome. outfront next, jaws still swimming circles around modern day thrillers. that summer blockbuster is now 50 years old. harry enten is up next with something you don't know about the cult classic. >> next up for nascar. >> on prime pocono. >> i've been looking forward to this. >> one. here we are. the tricky triangle. >> tricky is an understatement. this car. >> it's on prime. come on. >> stream pocono roots on prime. >> are you ready to connect to a. >> perfect journey. >> with turkish airlines? >> to feel. >> welcomed and to feel refreshed to discover.

4:57 pm
>> you're going to need. >> a bigger. >> boat. >> that line gets you every time, doesn't it? the feeding frenzy known as jaws. turns 50 today. the summer blockbuster from steven spielberg came out a half century ago. going to the movies and the beach really has never been the same. and events across the country are doing their best to mark that anniversary, like martha's vineyard, where of course, the movie was filmed. there's a giant replica of jaws going on display there. the alamo drafthouse theater chain get this. they're hosting a series of jaws on the water screenings, so you can watch the movie there on a giant inflatable screen in the water, from the comfort of an inner tube. don't worry. no, that's not a shark nibbling at you. nothing to see here. even the new york yankees taking a bite at the action with a jaws themed cup and a special jaws milkshake. i'm sure that's just artificial berry flavoring right there. nothing to worry about. harry enten, who does love a little bit of ice cream? joining us now. so, harry, when we look at this, you're going to need a
4:58 pm
bigger boat. that is by far one of the most memorable lines. of course, from jaws. just how big, how popular? how do we rate this movie 50 years later? >> yeah. you know. >> we have. >> polling on it which shows that 81% of americans, 81%, 4 in 5, say they've seen jaws. >> that is more. >> than any. other horror film. they tested. over 30 of them, and jaws came out on top. it's not just jaws. 50 years ago, jaws remains a top horror film even today. >> i hate horror films. hate, but this one i can watch. maybe because i know it's not real. i'm just getting in the water. after i was struck at learning that steven spielberg was 26 when he started shooting this film, he's done all right for himself. i feel like this really set him on quite the career path. where does it rank compared to some of his other big hits? >> yeah, so if. we look across right now, remember, jaws was 50 years ago and it still ranks number four in terms of domestic box office all time. i mean, my goodness gracious. e.t. is number one at $439 million. you
4:59 pm
see jurassic park second there at 415 indiana jones the fourth. that was the one that came out in 2008 at $317 million. but you see jaws there still in the number four spot with $273 million. and of course that doesn't even take into account inflation. if you did it would be either 1 or 2 with e.t. >> wow that is pretty impressive. okay, so you can't think about jaws. i would argue without thinking about the music. that song let me play. >> it. >> did you see that? >> did you see that? all right, tell me something i don't know about jaws theme song. >> okay, i'll tell you a couple of things you don't know about the jaws theme song. erica hill. first off, it still scares me to this very single day. >> that i believe. >> yet that you believe that and the terminator are the two things that scare me. but
5:00 pm
here's the thing that i think is so important to note is that if you look back over time, guess what? the jaws original soundtrack, that theme song, which a part, of course, part of that original soundtrack, was the first ever horror film soundtrack to actually win the best oscar for originascore. and that's what i think is so important about this, right? this film is it's not just a film that scares us. it's actually an excellent film with excellent music. it's an excellent cinematic masterpiece. and that is why, even to this day, it remains the number one horror film in the united. >> states of america. you have made your case the only beings that are not excited about it, of
