Transcripts For CNNW The Situation Room 20150323

Or has he already hurt the gop . Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. There are major new concerns tonight about a possible threat to the u. S. Homeland. In a chilling online message, a group claiming links to isis post the names and addresses of dozens of u. S. Military Service Members and calls for attacks on them in their homes. Service members are now being warned to scrub personal information from their social media accounts. And a nation that had been a key u. S. Ally in fighting terror is now sliding into chaos. The United States and britain have evacuated the last of their troops from yemen. Isis is gaining a strong foothold and the local al qaeda affiliate which is already plotting attacks on the u. S. Homeland may soon be free to launch those attacks. Marie harf is with us along with our correspondents analysts and guests. They are all standing by with full coverage of tonights stories. Lets begin with our justice correspondent pamela brown. Tonight, sources say this latest attempt to target u. S. Military members is an escalation of the threat that we havent seen before. Tonight we are learning some of the Service Members in the list may have been cherry picked because of their involvement with the u. S. Air campaign in syria and iraq. Among the personal information posted on the hit list pictures home addresses and phone numbers of commanders captains and major generals. In total, about 100 members of the u. S. Military many of those singled out are pilots including this man, seen holding his baby. The list was posted by a Group Calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division and tonight, that group is calling on isis sympathizers to quote, kill the Service Members in their own land behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking they are safe. It could very easily become something that really matters from a personal security standpoint and could deeply affect the security of all of these personnel. Reporter Law Enforcement Officials Say a few of the individuals in the group are isis affiliates and have been on the fbis radar for awhile. But its still unclear if isis leadership ordered this list. Law enforcement sources tell cnn there is real concern a lone wolf sympathetic to isis will target the Service Members. There is no way that all of these people could receive a personal security detail. They have to do things like ensure the security of their own homes, perhaps in some extreme cases they may consider moving out of the home that is listed as their address. Reporter the pentagon tells cnn all the Service Members on the list are being notified though there is no evidence of an imminent threat of an attack. The pentagon is asking all Service Members to continue to clear their social media profiles of any personal or identifiable information. In this case Officials Say the group behind the threat compiled this list of addresses and names through publicly available Information Online social media and the white pages. We are also following a very disturbing report that 11 medical students including one american is suspected of traveling to syria to work in isiscontrolled hospitals. What are you learning . Thats right. In fact authorities in the u. S. Are still investigating whether the american is in this group of medical students really from all around the world who may have traveled to syria to work in isis controlled hospitals according to a turkish lawmaker who spoke to cnn. In a joint statement, the students and doctors families said their children are humanitarians who went to turkey to offer medical help to refugees but have since disappeared. Officials say eight of the group are medical students who have just graduated and three others are in their final year of medical school. They have been studying in sudan and the lawmaker from turkey says the Group Includes people from great britain, canada sudan and turkey. As i said we are still trying to figure out if an american is part of that group. A Law Enforcement official i spoke with today said there has been this pattern for years of Health Care Professionals being lured to fight with terrorist groups overseas and at least two americans are believed to have gone to syria to fight have been doctors. We know isis has been making a concerted effort to recruit people of all different skill sets to run their caliphate including doctors to work in the hospitals there. Very disturbing development. Pamela thank you. Just days after twin massacres in yemens capital, isis is now posting pictures of the attackers. The last american and british troops have pulled out. As the country descends into utter chaos, there are growing concerns that terror groups will have a free rein to plot and execute attacks aimed at the outside world including right here in the United States. Lets go to our pentagon correspondent, Barbara Starr. Yemen is unraveling very very quickly. The u. S. Is now less capable than ever to deal with that. What are you hearing . Whats the latest . Reporter well wolf the u. N. Envoy dealing with this entire situation today said that yemen is on the brink of civil war. If you look at that video, the latest pictures out of southern yemen, it sure appears to be it is already there as all of these factions begin to fight against each other. Now, in the latest the pentagon secretly over the weekend ordered 100 u. S. Commandos out of yemen. They were conducting Counter Terrorism operations against al qaeda in yemen. That was their target. That is the most dangerous al qaeda affiliate. They have the master bomb maker, they have vowed to attack the United States but now u. S. And the last of the british troops gone from yemen so the u. S. Flying blind if you will. No boots on the ground no ability to collect intelligence on the ground. Stle to they have to rely on drone attacks or eavesdropping on cell phone conversations, really limited intelligence now about what is going on on the ground. Al qaeda in yemen still a tough target but as you see this violence literally unravel the country, as you say, they are also looking very closely at the Houthi Rebels at isis being involved in yemen as all of these groups compete for power. The big worry is al qaeda will take advantage, recruiting more getting more financing, plotting against the United States. Wolf . Yes. Its becoming a real failed state with these iranian backed shiite houthis in charge aqap and now isis all of a sudden is in the mix. What do we know about the isis part of this . Reporter well you will recall that isis in yemen has now taken responsibility or claim of responsibility for those terrible attacks last week at two mosques in the capital that killed and injured hundreds of yemenis at prayer. The people there are the ones literally caught in the crosshairs of all of this. So the question is who is isis in yemen. There is a sense among some that we talked to that these are al qaeda type people that were already in yemen that have essentially rebranded themselves. We have seen it in a lot of countries in libya, in egypt, in tunisia. Some of the militant groups already existing now calling themselves isis they get more money, more recruits more world attention. They know that. It doesnt lessen their deadliness at all and it does not lessen the concern about the network there that is now evolving inside yemen of these isis operatives whoever they may really be. Wolf . What really seems to be missing is any remnant of the former Yemeni Government which was a key u. S. Ally in this war against al qaeda. Barbara, thanks very much. A deadline is looming for an agreement aimed at keeping iran from developing a Nuclear Weapon but even as the talks continue irans Supreme Leader is declaring death to america. Thats raising fresh doubts about whether a deal can be reached or can be relied upon. Lets go to our senior white house correspondent, jim acosta for the very latest. Jim . Reporter almost one week away from the deadline for a nuclear deal with iran the Obama Administration is indicating an agreement is still possible despite big concerns from all sides and some tough talk coming out of tehran. There are doubts all around a u. S. Nuclear deal with iran starting with that countrys Supreme Leader who must sign off on any agreement. At a speech over the weekend, in front of a crowd chanting death to america irans Ayatollah Khomeini agreed condemning economic sanctions on his people. Yes, death to america, khomeini told the audience because america is the original source of this pressure. All the more reason the white house says, to strike a deal. Reporter do those comments give this white house any pause about moving forward with a nuclear deal with that country . Jim, i can tell you that i think those kinds of comments only underscore why it is so critically important that the United States and the International Community succeed in preventing iran from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon. And the best way for us to prevent iran from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon is sitting down at the negotiating table. Reporter there are also skeptics if both parties on capitol hill where 367 law makers signed a letter to the president saying Congress Must be convinced that the deals terms foreclose any pathway the a bomb and only then will congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief. How many of you believe the iranians in the past have been trying to build a nuclear bomb not a peaceful Power Program . Okay. So we start with the proposition theyre liars. Reporter cia director john brennan argued the pressure is on iran saying he is confident the u. S. Intelligence community will have a good understanding of their nuclear activity. So if they decide to go down that route, they know they will do so at their peril. Reporter the white house chief of staff promised a jewish American Group the administration wont accept a bad deal. Any deal would last for more than a decade setting back irans program for far longer. Reporter that is the president cautioned, if a breakthrough can be reached. Frankly, they have not yet made the kind of concessions that i think will be needed for a final deal to get done. But they have moved and so theres a possibility. Reporter as for the ayatollahs death to america comments Administration Officials are suggesting those kinds of remarks are aimed at an iranian domestic political audience. What matters, officials caution, what is they agree bargaining table. Joining us to talk about this and more marie harf. Thanks very much for getting in. I want to get to all these issues but lets get back to that supposed isis threat to these 100 members of the u. S. Military that they are now on a hit list. They are encouraging their supporters lone wolves or whatever here in the United States or if they are based overseas to go out and attack them not only attack them but kill them and behead them. Family members are terrified, obviously. Is the u. S. Providing these 100 family members with some extra security right now . I know the department of defense obviously is taking the lead on this. They have reached out to all of these Service Members that are named and they are working with them if they need anything. I know they are very focused on this right now. I think there is still a lot of questions about this. This is clearly a propaganda effort by someone, whether they are actually affiliated with isil or not, but clearly what they want is attention, they want to draw potential lone wolf attention to this. It is certainly something we take seriously. They not only published their names, their addresses, their pictures what they do and they said you know what the best thing to their supporters in the United States is if you could come over here to iraq and syria and fight with isis but if you cant, go out, find these 100 individuals and kill them. Thats pretty terrifying. Absolutely. Its something i know the Defense Department and the whole government takes very very seriously. Obviously we are focused on this getting to the bottom of this and providing any safety and security that these folks might need. As of this point you dont know for sure whether this is really isis they said it was an isis Hacking Department whatever they called it or just some other person pretending to be isis. Youre still investigating that is that right . We are. I think the Defense Department has said theres not evidence there was a data breach even though they call themselves a hacking group. We think they found Information Online and pieced it together. But there are a lot of these groups that have popped up. Even in places like yemen, as Barbara Starr just reported we dont know if they are operationally linked to isil. They claim this name probably to get more attention, more followers, but we just dont know if theres an operational link. Is there an american citizen part of these 11 medical students who apparently have left their university gone to turkey crossed into syria and are now trying to help isis at their medical facilities . Is there a u. S. Citizen part of that group . We are still trying to determine whether those reports are true. We have seen them but we cant verify them yet at this point. I know theres a number of names floating around out there. We trying to verify that right now. We cant yet. What about 11 medical students . Have you verified what this turkish lawmaker has said there are now 11 medical students some of them just finished medical school and they are now working for isis inside syria . We have seen the reports. I dont think we have any reason to doubt them. We have seen westerners certainly go fight with isis. Thats been something we have seen. We dont have a reason to believe this isnt true but we cant at this point confirm there is an american. I want you to stand by. We have a lot to talk about including whats going on in yemen right now. The u. S. Not only abandoned the u. S. Embassy in sanaa, yemen a few weeks ago, now all u. S. Military personnel have been evacuated. Much more on whats going on in this key country thats fighting al qaeda, supposedly, when we come back. Toenail fungus . Dont hide it.

Ally in fighting terror and held up as an example of how that fight can work is now descending into chaos. United states and britain today pulled out their troops from yemen. Al qaeda and isis and even iran stand to gain by whats going on in yemen. Were back with the state Department Deputy spokeswoman marie harf. Now that all u. S. Forces presumably have been pulled out, the u. S. Embassy has been shut down u. S. Diplomats, americans are out of there, is the u. S. Capable of getting anything done in yemen in this fight against Aqap Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula . Absolutely. I think there are two separate issues. When it comes to the Counter Terrorism fight against aqap we still have resources in the region that are able to take the fight to aqap. So we have not suspended our Counter Terrorism operation just because of the political instability or because we have had to pull people out. Obviously our preference is always to have people on the ground but we are still able to conduct Counter Terrorism operations. But you dont have a local government which was friendly to the United States Yemeni Government which was helping provide information so that you could send in drones with predator hellfire missiles or whatever and kill people. There are a variety of ways to get information when you are looking for terrorists certainly. Some of them are technical things you can do even if you dont have people on the ground. We are very focused on the threat. Obviously its a huge threat. I would note that the houthis who are the ones that are fighting the government dont really like aqap either. So there are a lot of complicated dynamics on the ground here. Is iran emerging as the big winner in yemen . They are backing the shiite Houthi Rebels. We certainly know they have supplied the houthis with money or weapons. They have been very supportive of them. I dont think we have seen a lot of examples of Operational Command and control of iran to the houthis but obviously we are worried about it. One of the reasons we are working to get a nuclear deal is because iran is so destabilizing in the region whether its lebanon, yemen, syria. Thats something we have been concerned about for a long time. If you get a nuclear deal are you suggesting they will stop their efforts to destabilize iraq or syria or yemen . They will just go back to iran . No, not at all. If you can imagine how destabilizing they are now, if they were able to get a Nuclear Weapon they would be able to project even more power in the region and obviously thats why one of the reasons we are working to prevent that. The grand Ayatollah Khomeini once again today is declaring death to america. This is the guy in charge. He has to approve a deal. Now hes telling a crowd over there death to america. A lot of people are suggesting members of congress and others how can you even negotiate with an ayatollah who declares as much as he wants to death to america . We have heard this kind of rhetoric for a long time. This certainly isnt new. We are focused on whats happening in the negotiating room. We are closer today than we were a week ago or a month ago to getting an agreement with iran that will be based on verifiable concrete steps they have to take to show the world they cannot get a Nuclear Weapon. None of this is based on words or based on trust. Its based on action. Thats what were focused on. The words have no meaning when he says death to america, you dont take that seriously . Not that they have no meaning. Its incredibly offensive to all of us here. We have seen this kind of rhetoric before. When it comes to whats happening in the negotiating room we are focused on seeing if we can get an agreement that cuts off their ways to a weapon gets them to a year of breakout precisely because they have been so threatening to their neighbors, so destabilizing in the region. In the house of representatives, 367 democrats and republicans have now written a letter released to the president of the United States warning specifically you guys better be really really sure that this is a good deal because they want involvement in part of it and are pretty skeptical if you read this letter that you can really make a deal with the iranians. If we can get to an agreement, i want to be very clear about this it will be one that we can publicly defend that scientists and experts and technical people that have worked so hard on it at the department of energy and elsewhere can stand up to the world and say this meets our bottom line this meets our red lines. We will not accept a deal that doesnt. We will make that case and congress will have a role to play as part of this. Thats what we have always said. But we need to get to an agreement first and we need the space to do that. Are you ready to commit to congress before you go to the u. N. Security council that you will give an up or down vote to congress to approve it . Well theres a couple Different Things there. We dont believe congress should take an up or down vote just a blank up or down vote on the deal. But congress will have a key implementation role to play and that in order to eventually lift all the sanctions, the relief iran really wants, congress will have to vote on that. Obviously what we have always said is that wont come right away. I think this is Something Congress would agree with. We want to make sure iran is upholding its end of the bargain, is living by its commitments. Before they vote to take sanctions off. You will go to the United Nations before you go to congress . We have no idea what the timing will be but in terms of the United Nations here this is a p5 plus 1 negotiation so at some point it is common sense that the p5 the Security Council would have to sort of bless the deal for lack of a more technical term. Congress will have an absolutely key role to play here. They are the ones who can lift sanctions in the end and we will have to go to them and they will judge whether iran has implemented or not. A loss of members of congress are concerned if you pass it first before you go to congress then they are bound by treaty obligations to implement it. Not at all. If you voted for a u. N. Security Council Resolution approving it together with the other permanent members, then Later Congress said no its too late thats why they want you to go to congress before you go to the u. N. Security council. You understand their concern . Its just not an accurate one. The u. N. Security council cannot vote to lift u. S. Sanctions. The u. N. Security council can address u. N. They can approve the deal. No this isnt a treaty as we talked about. They can vote in general to say this is a deal that is important, to say they believe in what it represents. This is a p5 plus 1 negotiating process. The u. N. Security council cannot take the vital step of lifting u. S. Sanctions. Only the u. S. Congress can do that. They will have that vote if we can get to a deal. One final question. The Hillary Clinton emails, state department has them. She submitted them. She is asking you go ahead, release them. When do you think they will be released . We are working right now on the first 300 related to benghazi that already got sent to the select committee. We are going through those to release those first. The 55,000 pages will probably take several months. When do you think those 300 will be released . I dont have anything to predict on that. Hopefully soon but obviously, there are a lot of factors that go into it. We are committed to doing that. Thank you for joining us.

Will it now become a new safe haven for al qaeda, for isis . Lets discuss whats going on. Joining us our cnn intelligence and security analyst, bob baer a former cia operative. Also our cnn terrorism analyst paul cruickshank, our Counter Terrorism analyst phil mudd former cia Counter Terrorism official and former democratic congressman jane harmon who served on the Intelligence Committee for a long time. She is president and ceo of the wilson center. How big of a blow is it to the u. S. Now in fighting al qaeda, these other terror groups that u. S. Special Operations Forces have been forced to evacuate from yemen . This is pretty significant. Youve got to think of operations in two terms. First, we can collect intelligence the United States remotely run drones take out the leadership of these organizations. What you want to do is when youre running these operations you want to keep the group out of a comfort zone. The only way you can do that is ground operations. Running with special forces providing intelligence to yemeni services. Now we have half that picture or less standoff drones. We dont have the other half to keep the group sort of out of a comfort zone. Thats a real blow. Paul cruickshank, aqap they are based in yemen. They have a master bomb maker. They will have a lot greater opportunities now to plot attacks against the United States arent they . Thats absolutely right, wolf. Not only him, but a whole team of bomb makers. They are trying to make increasingly sophisticated devices, a new generation of underwear devices, new generation of shoe devices and the group has more resources than perhaps any time before because they are getting a recruitment rise they are expanding into new parts of yemen. With this competition with isis the onus is on aqap now to carry out an act of International Terrorism against u. S. Aviation to shore up their support base so i think they will put even more resources than before into trying to blow an american airliner out of the sky. As you know jane last september, not that long ago, last september, president obama was touting yemen, somalia as Success Stories in the war against terror saying what the u. S. Is doing is pushing in the right direction. Now the u. S. Has been forced to shut down the embassies in both somalia and yemen, and pull out. Was he getting bad intelligence was this an intelligence blunder by the u. S. Intelligence community, by his National Security advisors were they just feeding him Wishful Thinking . What was going on . I think we really believed that if we could broker and we did the transition of power in yemen from the leader who was widely despised to his deputy who was then elected, we would accomplish something significant and yemen did have substantial political capacity. I remember being there as a member of the house Intelligence Committee meeting with a number of Political Parties that were well organized, our groups that build political capacity were in the country and we really thought this would hold. Lesson to everybody, this is a very fragile situation all over the middle east and if yemen can fall apart and now be in a proxy war with as you were just saying with these very dangerous folks on the ground who are trying to make bombs that could well get on airplanes this could happen anywhere. Yemen is becoming another syria where the u. S. Four years ago was forced to get out. Somalia is for all practical purposes a failed state. Libya is a failed state. The u. S. Embassy has been shut down there. American diplomats have been forced to evacuate. Bob baer, you worked at the cia. You remember a little bit more than a year ago the president was also claiming isis was the jayvee squad, saying you could give the jayvee squad a lakers jersey they are not going to be kobe bryant when all is said and done. Was he getting bad intelligence then as well about isis . Was this a total surprise or was this once again a blunder by his National Security team . Well lets be fair. It was a blunder by all of us. I dont recall anybody two years ago predicting that there this was january of last year. Its a little more than a year ago. Yeah but even before that before june before they moved into mosul, nobody predicted this. Nobody saw it. The iraqis didnt see it on the ground. We the west are out of touch with this discontent in the middle east, this disease thats moving through faster than anybodys predicted. So yes, we can blame the Intelligence Community but we also have to blame everybody else all the other experts including myself. I certainly didnt predict it. So we just cannot tell where this is all going to go. Yemen, by the way, is an absolute disaster because in the arab peninsula, south of saudi arabia. If that chaos moves into saudi arabia we will be in a lot of trouble economically. A quarter of the worlds oil reserves are there. Im not saying its going to. But again, who can predict it. Phil mudd it sort of reminds me on a different scale intelligence blunders when the Bush Administration said Saddam Hussein had stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Analysts are struggling with speed. When i watched terrorists in the 90s, today that game has changed. Thats one of the reasons we miss it. We have never seen anything like this. Some have suggested the president needs a new National Security team. This current one is not good enough. Well the problems are hard for anybody. Iran has made the houthis as effective as they are. Saudi arabia could well move in on the other side and we will have a fullblown proxy war. I dont think that was predictable a year or two ago. We will leave it there. Much more coming up.

He is working his sources for us. What are you learning. We have breaking news on how Martese Johnson is going to plead and what witnesses are saying. Johnsons attorney tells us he plans to plead not guilty at a hearing this thursday. He is charged with public intoxication and obstruction of justice. We have a new account from one of the bar owners who spoke to johnson just moments before that confrontation with abc agents. Hey, hes bleeding his head is bleeding you [ bleep ] racist reporter new accounts raising new questions about the moments just before this video was taken. Owners of the trinity irish pub in charlottesville say Martese Johnson quote, did not appear to be intoxicated in the least when he was turned away at the door.

The bars coowner also says their conversation was quote, cordial and respectful but a charging document says johnson was agitated and belligerent when dealing with abc agents. Tonight, an update on johnsons physical condition. Hes doing okay. Physically emotionally. Of course, its an overwhelming situation but hes staying strong. Hes doing fine. Reporter on friday a source close to johnsons family told cnn he had been taken to the Student Health center due to concerns about possible swelling from his head injuries. His Attorneys Office says he is now quote, home and recovering. Tonight, after a freedom of information request, cnn has learned the racial breakdown of abcs agents in charlottesville. The four special agents there, all white males, but the special agent in charge in charlottesville is an africanamerican man. The abc would not tell us if the agent in charge was there at the time of johnsons arrest. Virginias top lawmakers are bringing intense pressure for the abc to have its powers cut back.

Abc, alcohol Beverage Control agents were they wearing body cameras . Abc tells us they were not wearing body cameras. The agency says its because they are still evaluating whether to use them still looking at the right policies and procedures. We have to point out the previous Governors Administration said in november 2013 that these agents should be wearing body cameras. This was after that other embarrassing incident with the other university of virginia student where they swarmed that girl who was only buying sparkling water. The governor then called for them to wear body cameras. They still have not been implemented. Brian todd we will get more on this story later. Thanks very much.

This comes after a man with a machete rushed the checkpoint at the new orleans airport. The tsa officers werent armed. A nearby sheriffs deputy shot the man who later died. What happened . Reporter just into the situation room, the frantic calls for help the moment a man attacks inside a new orleans airport. You can hear the fear in the travelers voices. Im on concourse b. There is shooting. Please send someone to the airport. We were like three away in the line. Something sprayed. Everybody started running. Reporter a tsa officer on a stretcher. The attacker face down and handcuffed. The weapon nearby. This about 40 seconds after 63yearold Richard White stormed a security checkpoint inside new Orleans Lewis Armstrong International airport friday. This man was swinging very hard very hard with that machete. And if he would have made contact with anybody, it would have been terrible. Reporter the machete came within inches of a tsa officer. Seconds later, a sheriffs deputy patrolling the area opened fire. I just hear gunshots. Reporter the man who sprayed officers and bystanders with wasp spray and charged the checkpoint was struck three times. He later died. Police say the attacker was also armed with molotov cocktails, smoke bombs and gas cylinders in his car. His family says he suffered mental illness. My fear is that yes, we continue to get copycats. Reporter the Union Representing tsa officers says the attack exposes vulnerabilities at airports and its time some tsa officers are armed. The employees that do the screening at airports now twice have been the victims and become the target of people that want to do harm. Reporter after the deadly november 2013 shooting at los angeles lax airport where a tsa officer was shot the agency recommended airports beef up Police Presence at checkpoints and ticket counters but rejecting arming its officers. In fridays incident a tsa officer was struck by friendly fire. The bullet from the deputys gun hit her. A former tsa assistanted aminute ed amin administrator says putting guns in airports is not the answer. Hundreds of people and if something should go wrong, i think the occurrence or the ability to have that magnified i think is real because of the condensed station of individuals at that checkpoint. Reporter the union points out last year tsa ceases more than 2,000 guns. People are showing up to airports with weapons. Tsas role is to screen passengers and look for items that could bring down a plane like explosives. Opponents say adding Law Enforcement duties would be a distraction. Thanks very much. Lets get analysis from tom fuentes, a former assistant director of the fbi. Would it be smart to arm some of those tsa agents at the security checkpoints . I dont think so. I think the answer here is more police and have them closer by. I heard earlier today the police chief at lax airport in los angeles saying that they want to have an officer within 300 feet of a checkpoint. Thats 100 yards away. Thats too much. They need to have qualified Police Officers closer. Having been a Police Firearm instructor and an fbi firearm instructor you cant take somebody to the range, have them shoot a couple hundred rounds and turn them lose with a gun. It wouldnt be feasible to train the tsa officers and give them guns and a small cadre give them guns. I would like a Police Officer thats been through thousands of hours of training have to requalify every year. In this case you have a lieutenant from the Sheriffs Office that fired the shots and still she wounded a tsa officer, friendly fire. With all of her training. If you had a tsa officer open fire theres no telling how many casualties and if they would hit the bad guy in the first place. Have one Police Officer or two Police Officers at every checkpoint is that what you are saying . Yeah thats what im saying. Have them closer not 100 yards away but at the checkpoint so that if somebody coming in there with one of the 2,000 guns that were presented last year at checkpoints, if somebody is that close with a weapon to the tsa officers you have a Police Officer at least close by to be able to take that on. They would be under whose jurisdiction . Some have their own police. They are qualified Police Officers. Some dont. The smaller or mediumsize airports have like in this case the county sheriff had police at the airport. Whichever jurisdiction whether local Police Agency or the airport police. But they are qualified Police Officers. Tom fuentes, thanks very much. Good advice. A key antiterror ally slides into chaos. The u. S. And britain pull their last troops out.

First lets go to Barbara Starr for the very latest. Barbara . Reporter wolf u. S. And british commanders secretly ordered out of yemen over the weekend, now another country where the u. S. Is gone and has no influence. Yemen now on the brink of civil war. Amid the rising unrest the United Nations warning the worst may be to come as groups vie for power. Unless a solution can be found in the coming days the country will slide into further violent conflict. Reporter a u. S. Official tells cnn, al qaeda fighters which have vowed to attack the u. S. Are now moving quickly to increase recruiting and continue plotting attacks. The u. S. Just became essentially blind on the ground. More than 100 u. S. Military commandos like these who had been tracking al qaeda, known as aqap secretly ordered out of the country by the pentagon over the weekend. This special Operations Forces were evacuated by military aircraft and transported across the gulf. Fighter jets patrolled overhead while Emergency Response helicopters were stationed nearby.

We have no capabilities to monitor what aqap and isis and the shia militants are doing in the region. Without good intelligence stops plots against the homeland. Reporter sources tell me that months ago they had warned the administration they insist that the houthi Rebel Movement was challenging the government in yemen but the government rapidly fell and in the last several weeks the chaos has only grown worse as all the groups fight each other. Aqap in yemen may be beefing up its capabilityies right now. Im sure they are. Thank you. The president of afghanistan is here in the United States for talks with president obama tomorrow. He is warning that isis terrorists are targeting his country. Cnn has new evidence of isis recruiting in afghanistan in this report from our Senior International correspondent nick patten walsh. Reporter a new and modern plague is now. You are seeing rare pictures filmed by our cameraman of what we are told in an isis recruitment session in afghanistan. Brothers im here to tell you, the recruiter says, about the mujahideen. The taliban is strong but fractured and the u. S. Is leaving. The u. N. Warns isis is getting a foot hold in afghanistan. This may be how. This afghan has come back from fighting in Northern Syria and is one of five recruiters whose pitch is simple. Come fight true jihad for isis for a 500 wage. Some listeners are driven. My aim is to fight infidels one says in syria or if they ask me to in afghanistan, i will. Others arent sure and just poor. I need the money but will stay here and hope peace comes one adds. Theres a bit of theater here. Isis application forms for them to complete on camera. But also a clear message to angry young afghans disillusioned by the talibans wars. Theres now an even more ruthless choice you can make, isis. Nick patten walsh, kabul. A new hit list targeting 100 members of the u. S. Military and their familiars. Pamela brown is looking into this story for us. Its very disturbing. What are you learning . Reporter very disturbing. Officials taking it seriously. Law enforcement sources tell cnn is that a lone wolf could target the Service Members listed. Were learning from a Law Enforcement official that a view of the individuals in this group behind the threat Islamic State Hacking Division are isis affiliates who the fbi has been tracking online. It appears this group may have cherry picked some of the Service Members in the list because of their involvement with the u. S. Air campaign in syria and iraq. Among the personal information posted on this hit list over the weekend, pictures home addresses and phone numbers of highranking military officials commanders captains and major generals. About 100 members of the u. S. Military. The group is calling on isis sympathizers to kill the Service Members in their own land behead them, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking they are safe. The pentagon telling cnn all the Service Members are being notified. Theres no evidence of an imminent threat of an attack or a data breach. It appears the group was able to pull information publically Information Available information about the Service Members online through social media. They and their family members must be terrified right now. Pamela thanks very much. Lets get analysis of whats going on. More information. Joining us a member of the house Homeland Security and Intelligence Committee, congressman peter king. Thanks for joining us. Have you been briefed on the socalled isis hit list the targeting of the 100 members of the u. S. Military for not only attack but beheadings death . Wolf not necessarily on this particular one. Im not sure if this is entirely new. But for the last six months we have been briefed on how isis is assembling names, addresses, phone up ins. Basically using, as pam said social media. People on facebook that will say their husband or wife is in afghanistan or they are coming home soon or whatever. Then newspaper reports about veterans returning home or someone being wounded. They can really open source and from the internet isis has been able to track this down. Again, i dont think we have to be too concerned right now about an organized isis force in this country carrying out attacks. My concern is i believe what the Justice Department believes is that were talking about lone wolves. For instance what we saw in queens back in october, where we had the isis supporter, the isis sympathizer who was radicalized over the internet using the hatchet attack on the two Police Officers or in canada. I think what isis is doing is appealing to supports, people on the fringes of society who will act out. We have to look for actual isis cells. I think the immediate threat would come from someone who is a deranged perp edd person or lone wolf influenced by isis. What this isis socalled Hacking Division what they said is to their supporters sympathizers here in the United States if you cant come fight with us here in iraq or syria or yemen or libya or whatever stay where you are, but here is a list of u. S. Military personnel. Here are their names, addresses, their pictures. Go ahead and behead them kill them if you can. Here is the question. Should these people be getting special protection . I believe, yes. They probably are in their local communities. The answer is yes, they should be. There should be protection for anyone whose name is there. Anyone not community who is known to be a military person a person whose name has appeared even if its not on this list i would hope that the local police in conjunction with the military would be providing some level of security for them. Certainly, anyone whose name is there should be getting security. I would be very surprised if theyre not, if they dont have some form of security detail on them. I agree with you. Although we heard earlier today, congressman im sure i will check this out. As of now, there has been no decision to provide them with additional security, post guards outside their homes or move them to other locations. Its obviously, a very worrisome development. From my experience in new york whenever Something Like this happens, certainly the local police will provide a level of security for anyone whose name has appeared or anyone who could be targeted by a terrorist. That may be in new york but not necessarily throughout the entire country. Im saying it had you beshould be. Im sure the family members, if they see their names popping up and pictures their addresses, they must be terrified. Dont you agree . Were think were thinking of the spouses, kids the neighbors, any isis could attack anyone that has even any kengsconnection to the military people. Thats a psychological victory for isis. Have you learned this is really isis doing this or somebody else who is pretending to be isis just to instill fear . Im not certain on this. Have i i have not been briefed on this listing. We know isis and al qaeda affiliates are monitoring names of millitary personnel and going back as far as six months ago and also in europe. The pentagon has been urging the American Military to have a small a footprint as possible as far as social media. Even the most harmless picture, instagram, whatever about a personnel themselves or their family members or their friends, relatives, whatever that could make them a target for isis or al qaeda or any of this really alphabet soup of groups that are out there. A lot of mim tearlitary families are cutting back on social media. I want to you stand by. We have new information coming in about what isis al qaeda, these iranianbacked shiite houthis are doing now that the udz has not only evacuated the embassy but pulled out all special forces.

We are talking about isis and other terrorist groups the growing danger in yemen after the evacuation of u. S. And British Military forces. Less than a year ago president obama sited yemen as a place where u. S. Counterterrorism strategy was working. You are a member of the Intelligence Committee. Were you getting good intelligence at that time as far as yemen specifically was concerned . Because now its clearly a disaster. Yes, wolf when the president said that either last august or september, when he made his first speech really on isis we couldnt believe what he was saying. There was absolutely no evidence at all that yemen was working. The reports were getting worse by the day. So i have no idea why the president said that. It was wrong to say it. Not just because he was factually wrong but that causes a loss of confidence by the allies and encourages our enemy to see the president being so wrong. What you are suggesting, congressman, is that there wasnt an Intelligence Community failure but a failure on the part of the president and his National Security advisers who prepared the remarks . I dont know if we weres apositive the houthis would be as danger as they turned out to be. But the situation in yellen was crumbling. Al qaeda was becoming more powerful. The government was becoming more and more weak. The embassy was in a dangerous position. There was no way in the world that anyone could say that the system was working or his policy was working in yemen. It was clearly a failure as far back as august or september. It has gotten worse. But at that time there was no basis for him saying what he did. Congressman, you are one of 367 house members, republicans and democrats, who signed a letter to the president today citing grave concerns about the iran nuclear negotiations. It says Congress Must be convinced that its terms for ss forclose a pathway. What im concerned about is the disagreement the way its being reported, would be locking in place a potential Iranian Nuclear program. It has a tenyear limit. It allows iran to go ahead with measures, with programs if they decide to pull out, they would have the capacity within a very short period of time to have a Nuclear Weapon. In effect what we are doing, what the president seems to be doing is giving them this almost guarantee that within nine or ten years if they wish they can pull out or even before then they are going to go ahead with production which can lead toward a Nuclear Weapon. I dont see the plus in this at all. It has given almost immunity to iran. Thats why you find a large number this is not partisan. Overwhelming number of democrats and republicans, in addition of course to the Israeli Government but right here in the u. S. And the u. S. Congress the house and senate you will find overwhelming concern about this agreement. I want to get your reaction to ted cruz announcing his candidacy for president of the United States. You put out a statement suggesting you likened him to a carnival barker. What did you mean . What i mean is that we have very complex issues facing the country. He goes out of his way to oversimplify to say that obamacare we could end obamacare by not funding it and shutting down the government is absolutely wrong. Thats a wrong signal to send. We need intelligent debate in the country. He doesnt carry out an intelligent debate. He exaggerates. He basically led the Republican Party over the cliff in the fall of 2013. He has shown no qualifications no legislation being passed doesnt provide leadership. He has no real experience. To me, he is just a guy with a big mouth and no results. Would you support him if he were the gop nominee . I hope that day never comes. I will jump off that bridge when we come to it. It would be very difficult. Again, maybe can he go on the road to damascus. Can he have a complete conversion. The way it is right now, it would be difficult to support ted cruz. When are you going to announce whether you are running . I will be in New Hampshire next week. He will be there april 16 and 17. Again, im not kidding myself. Its not going to be easy. If the opening is there and if not, i will take advantage of this country to appeal to the realistic wing of the party, the prodefense Ronald Reagan wing the true conservatives, not counterfeit like ted cruz to prevent cruz and rand paul from hijacking the nomination. You dont like rand paul . I understand hes a very nice guy. But his views are isolationist and the world we face today, it would take us back to the 1930s. He calls himself a noninterventionist. Do you buy that . I call him an isolationist. His views would remove the u. S. From having a role to play in the world. His mindset look at things he said over the years, blaming the United States for the problems around the world, somehow that we its our fault. To me thats a bad mindset for the commander in chief of the United States to go into office with. Any of those fellow republican potential candidates likeable to you . You like any of them . Sure. Im not that tough a guy to get along with. Jeb bush scott walker they all both of them certainly show ability. John kasick i dont see ted cruz and rand paul being part of the talent pool. Peter king the congressman from new york thanks for joining us. Thank you. Let us know when you make that decision. We will want to cover that.

Breaking news tonight. Cnn has confirmed an africanamerican uva student plans to enter a plea of not guilty. Were learning the four special alcohol agents in charlottesville, virginia are all white. Three were involved in johnsons arrest. Their boss is black. Lets bring in don lemon. He has been covering the story. Also joining us are tom fuentes and sunny hostin. Do you think its possible they drop the charges given all the commotion right now, what was a relatively minor infraction if there was any at all . Why not simply drop the charges . I think that makes a lot of sense. I wonder if that will happen on thursday. Im sure the prosecutors are looking at this. I think whats interesting is that these officers claim that they stopped him for having a fake i. D. If you look at the charges, he wasnt charged with having a fake i. D. Thats the first thing. The other thing that prosecutors will look at is the fact that these are very what he was charged with, which i think is public swearing and intoxication in public the Vice President of uva says that the breathalyzer test showed he wasnt intoxicated. Finally, i think the prosecutors are certainly going to have to look at the fact that these are lowlevel misdemeanors if anything. Under the virginia criminal code they dont require arrest. So when you sort of look at that and you look at these pictures that were showing, if i were the prosecutor handling this case this would be an open and shut one. It is certainly one that i would not prosecute. Especially because the owner of the pub has said publically that johnson was polite and cordial when he was turned away from the pub. Don i know you have been working your sources over there at the university of virginia spoken to people close to Martese Johnson. Any update on his condition . You broke the news friday night that some of his family members were concerned. They took him to the little medical facility there, because he seemed to had swelling in his head. The only thing they said sources close to the family and martese are saying to me at this point, they were concerned thursday when we reported that. Now they are saying he is in good health. Also new information that i need to report to you about the pub owner and about the plea he is going to enter thursday. Today, martese and his representatives both met with uva deans and with the owner of the pub. The owner of the pub says he is sorry for what happened to martese. Its important to know martese does not blame the pub. He says the pub did not do anything wrong. The pub owner, the coowner who stopped him on that evening is also from the south side of chicago. Thats where martese is from. Both men are from there. When he asked him for his zip code and he didnt know it the man was familiar with it. So that sort of made him think twice wondering why he didnt know it. The owner is a copub owner. Also from the south side of chicago. He said that martese was not belligerent for intoxchlintoxicated. The abc, the alcohol control board was tracking the mostly irish establishments because it was st. Pattys day. He said his head of security is africanamerican. He has had five head of security three have been black. He has never gotten physical. He has never seen them arrest anyone. He said no one deserves the treatment johnson got. A young kid grew up in the south side of chicago. Just had a single mother. Came to the university of virginia honor student. What do you think, tom . Should they drop the charges and move on . Even if shethey should, they probably wont. We just dont know what occurred. Obviously, when he is dealing with the pub staff, you know theres no they have no chance of taking him into custody. With the police we dont know what happened. We will stay on top of this story. A note don will be back tonight 10 00 p. M. Tonight, more on this and all the days important news. We will see you later. Just ahead, israels leader Prime Minister has formally publically apologized to israeli arab voters for his rhetoric.

Atlanta and i cant wait to start telling people how switching to geico could save them hundreds of dollars on Car Insurance. But first, my luggage. Ahh, there it is. Uh, excuse me sir .

Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance. My goal was to finally get in shape. Not to be focusing again, on my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. So i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. Humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults with moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis saw 75 skin clearance on humira. And the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months.

New tonight, Benjamin Netanyahu is apologizeing for his rallying cry to supporters warning arab citizens would be voting in droves his words. Netanyahu is under fire for the political rhetoric that helped him win the reelection. President obama is one of his toughest critics. U. S. Israeli relations have taken a turn for the worse. Whats been the reaction to the apology today to israels arab citizens for what he said on election day . Reporter wolf today with a group of minorities i will note there was one arab among them the Prime Minister said he was sorry if what he said owe 23e7bded ed fended the arabs. Tonight the arabs who did very well in the recent election, now the Third Largest block are saying its not just this one statement, they feel the Prime Minister has had policies and legislation that are exclusionary and discriminatory. 1. 6 Israeli Citizens of arab dissent feel they are second class citizens. They were hurt by the comments. The larger issue of feeling marginalize marginalized. He didnt think a palestinian watch was ever going to happen. He now insists he does support a twostate solution. The white house is not necessarily buying it is it . Reporter no not impressed. Officials are saying that you cant just walk back the statement and feel the u. S. And israel, after being on the same page for six years about working towards a solution are now on same page. Listen to the white house chief of staff speaking to the proisrael group. Such comments call into question his commitment to a twostate solution as did his suggestion the construction of settlements has a strategic purpose of dividing palestinian communities and his claim that conditions in the larger middle east must be more stable before a palestinian state can be established. We cannot simply pretend that these comments were never made. [ applause ] reporter officials are telling me that its going to take time and its going to take actions, not words, for the u. S. To rebuild that trust and credibility. The Prime Minister you heard the president say the u. S. May need to reassess its relationship with israel as far as the Peace Process going forward. Thanks very much. Lets get more on whats going on. Joining us the chief palestinian negotiator. Thanks very much for coming in. Thank you. Do you accept you are not an israeli citizen. Do you accept the apology that Benjamin Netanyahu made to arabs about the remarks he made on election day when he urged supporters go out and vote because the arabs are voting in droves . No. No because you could have differences. Imagine, wolf if someone is running an election if france and he would tell the people on tv jews are or in america they would say blacks. Now he apologized. Its up to the Israeli Arabs to say their words. This is about a culture. This was very very very wrong. When the Prime Minister said the day or two after the election his policy hasnt changed, he support a twostate solution two States Israel living along side a new state of palestine, do you accept that . No. Same thing, wolf. Prime minister netanyahu, we engaged him, gave him so many chance. I dont believe there has been anyone more sincere for the Peace Process more than president obama and john kerry. I think these two gentlemen have invested everything humanly possible to allow us and israelis to achieve an agreement. He will tell everyone wolf i will make it. But then the deeds are settlements, dictation and anything that would undermine the twostate solution. Now mr. Netanyahu needs to put his money where his mouth is, if hes serious about the twostate solution stop settlement they must organize palestinian on the lines to live side by side. Listen to denis mcdonough. This is what he also said today. I will play a clip. This is the white house chief of staff. No nation has done more to stand with israel and the world including at the United Nations, than the United States. So as difficult as it is the United States will never stop working for a twostate solution and lasting peace that israelis and palestinians so richly deserve. You agree with him on that . You want a twostate solution. I know you are meeting with officials from the white house and state department. How do you revive this Peace Process now in the aftermath of netanyahus reelection . The Prime Minister of israel tells me that a palestinian state establishment is not on my watch, what option does he have . Now he says he does want a twostate solution. But he has done nothing but undermine the twostate solution. He increased settlement active toy by 40 , more than any time before. You know he blames the palestinian authority, the plo for forging this alliance with hamas in gaza, which even the state department considers a terrorist organization committed to israels destruction. Wolf you know that we have a government formed with agreement with hamas. But the Political Program of the government is two states. The state of palestine to live state by side the state of israel peace and security. Theres not a single when netanyahu says you must end that relationship with hamas in order to revive the negotiations for a twostate solution you are smiling, but your reaction is in. Hamas is a political problem. Its my problem. I know that once a palestinian state established, we must have one authority and the rule of law. Wolf the other thing mr. Netanyahu is doing now, he is withholding our money. Were not a state. Israel collects our taxes and revenues for us 150 million a month. This is the fourth month they dont transfer our money. Our hospitals are about to collapse. Were not saying salaries. And then if mr. Netanyahu is seeking the end of the palestinian authority, we may soon call upon him to assume his responsibility you must first break your ties with hamas. Hamas is a political party. He has to tell me that once we have a palestinian state, were going to have one authority, one gun and the rule of law. When i differ with hamas, im telling hamas, we result to ballots and not bullets. Its my problem. I know i have a problem there. We know we have division. We need to reconcile and bring saturday ga saturday back to the palestinians. Is there any hope to revive this Peace Process . Yes. Look if not now in ten years theres no option for palestinians and israelis other than a twostate solution. Final two years of the Obama Administration is there any hope something can be resolved . I think its possible. I think its doable. I think its a need. Its doable. Its a must. And its an interest for palestinians and israelis. I did not feel my con sense aching for the israelis. Im doing it for myself my children my grandchildren. The same to them. There is no option for palestinians and israelis other than a state of palestine to live side by side with a state of israel and peace. I hope and pray that this leader of israel will stand tall and tell his people yes, we need to organize a state of palestine and stop settlement activity. Is the Obama Administration going to try to revive the Peace Process . Are they over it . I think they will. I think he said today that they will never give up. I really believe that. You believe that . I believe president obama and secretary kerry. At the end of the day, they may help palestinians and israelis. But decisions cannot be made by obama or kerry. Decisions are required from us and israelis. Chief palestinian negotiator you have been working this for a long time. Good luck to you. Good luck to the israelis. Lets hope the twostate solution can at the end of the day be achieved. Appreciate it very much. Thank you, wolf. Senator ted cruise playz playing toy a a conservative crowd.

That would be conservative ted cruz. He has a jump on the competition right now but will that help him as the campaign unfolds . Jeff zelaney is joining us where cruz made the beg announcement. How did it go . He made clear hes going to run hard against the party establishment. Senator ted cruz jumpstarted the president ial race officially making his lofty ambitions known. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of america and that is why today i am announcing that i am running for president of the United States. Reporter there was no hometown rally for this texas senator. He selected the virginia campus of liberty university. With an arena packed of 10,000 evangelical students. He said the word more than ten times. How fragile liberty. An assault on our religious liberty. Cruz made his announcement on the fifth anniversary on the signing of obamacare, a fitting date for a freshman senator who roez in the 2013 government shutdown. He made no apologies as he talked about his unabashed conservativism. Imagine, a new president signing legislation repealing every word of obamacare. Reporter not everyone was sold on cruzs message. A group of rand paul supporters say they were being used as props because students were required to attend. I dont think it was right to do it at a university that is requiring an attendance. Reporter what did you think of his announcement . For my personal beliefs, hes a little too much of a war hog. Reporter hes ready to move ahead with nearly a dozen candidates. Im invig grated and inspired by young people ready to turn the country around. Reporter his republican rivals plan to jump in the race next month but today cruz and his family reveled in the moment. His wife heidi is taking a leave of absence from her job at Goldman Sachs to spend time on the campaign trail with their two young daughters. I am ebbinspired to stand with each and every one of you courageous conservatives as we come together to reclaim the promise of america. Reporter now, senator cruz did not mention any of his republican rivals by name but, make no mistake about it he criticized jeb bushs two key issues Immigration Reform. He will not be shy to distinguish himself. Jeff stay with us. I want to bring in Ron Brownstein and jeffrey toobin. Hes starting off in the low Single Digits considerably behind Jeb Bush Scott walker even rand paul. Hes got a Major Mission ahead of him. Yeah he does. His challenge is that right now hes appealing to only a relative narrow bandwidth, the most conservative elements. When the wall street journal poll asked people in the potential republican field, he was only at net positive two. As many people said they would not consider as would consider. He was fine among very conservative being weaker among somewhat conservative and way under water with those who are moderate or liberal. They are not looking at him. He either has to have a narrow pathway or expand his reach. Jeffrey, whats the most important thing we all need to know about him . Well that he believes that republicans who seek the center are destined for failure. He says look at the president ial candidates who have won as republicans. Ronald Reagan George w. Bush the first term of president George Herbert walker bush. Look at the republicans that lose. Mitt romney, john mccain gerald ford. There are explanations as to one, why those candidates came out the way they did but hes someone who thinks being a true conservative whether it means denying Climate Change overruling obamacare, fighting Immigration Reform all of that is just find because a pure message will beat a moderate message, so he says. Jeff zelany youre there on the scene. How good are his chances of locking up the evangelical vote in the Iowa Caucuses . Its a crowded field. Rick santorum and ben carson among others. Reporter wolf right now they are all playing for the same slice of the audience. Its far too soon to lock up any of that group of the electorate. One thing for senator cruz hes been going to iowa so often. His father a preacher has been spending a lot of time in iowa. So he really wins over audiences there but this is the time of the year that activists like to watch the candidates see how they grow. So senator cruz will not be locking up any of these activists for possibly months to come. Its a very crowded lane. The establishment lane is not as nearly crowded as the evangelical lane if you will. He has a tough road ahead of him, no question. I assume his announcement will cause other announcements . Hes not big enough to affect other peoples time but the natural rhythm of the calendar is pointing in that direction. We have rand paul in april and others later in april. The big question about cruz is not whether he affects the timing but if he has a gravitational pull to affect the debate. And lets just clarify one point, jeffrey, a legal point. He was born in canada and his father was cuba and he fits the definition of a naturalborn american so he can run for president , right . We think so. I dont think theres going to be any controversy about that. However, its worth pointing out that the Supreme Court has not ever identified what a naturalborn citizen is. Donald trump is engaging in one of his fictional president ial campaigns. Hes considering raising it. I think its a nonissue. Ted cruz has a lot of problems as a candidate. Where he is born is not one of them. You think thats an issue down the road . If donald trump makes that birther issue . I think hes going to do a lot better before people go down that road. A very crowded field on the side that hes trying to play on much less crowded in the establishment lane at the moment and that may be a problem for conservatives in general. On the whole, jeff zelany 10,000 students they were required to attend but he was well received right . Reporter he was very well received. If senator cruz is able to win over the younger conservatives across the country, that could really help him. It looked like an obama rally in 2007. These people dont really know ted cruz. They are just getting to know him. Whether he has the capacity to grow is something that well be keeping an eye on. Alan dershowitz of all the students he taught ted cruz was one of the smartest.
