>> this is a fox news alert. isis launching a major new offensive in iraq. this time advancing in the key on bar province. forcing innocent people to flee their own homes. capturing three villages and capáuring with iraqi forces. just back from iraq, she joins us live. erin, tell me what's goingen there. >> so the fight in anbar has actually been going on for several months now. the fight is really centralized in ramadi city. this is where i'm really concerned with how the iraqi security forces are going to fair mostly because they need to gain the trust of the sunni tribes that have been fighting there since november. and they have not been doing well. but the sunni tribes don't really trust the iraqi security forces and they don't trust the she a militias that are td%9 move into that area to help th out. so it's a really confusing situation and the reports came out today we don't know who actually made those advances. was it the sunni tribes that have been there all along or was it the iraqi security forces or were the shia militias finally let in? we don't really know. >> is there any information what they are doing to the civilians there? we see this horrible video and we know isis' reputation and history and what they have done. what are they doing to the civilians? >> right, so i have been talking to a lot of people in and around ramadi city on the ground who have been living through this offensive for a really long time now. they are running out of food and water. they don't have basic services. they don't have trash pickup. schools are not in session is. some sools are in session but some kids aren't going to school. part of ramadi they are living under control. it's all confusing. varies from neighborhood to neighborhood because some sunnies in this area do support isis. whether o) not that's verbally or there have been some sunni tribes in this area. leaders of prominent sunni tribes that have been accused of supporting isis with money and weapons. >> erin, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right. so what about isis in iraq? is president obama doing enough? senator lindsay graham joins us. good evening, sir. you now it's the anbar province ramadi city that we're hearing about. >> president obama and his entire national team are in -- security team are incompetent. % everything going in iraq was predicted by john mccain and myself and the military leaders. they advised president to leave 10,000 troops in iraq 2011. the iraqis would have willingly done that if they had worked to get there when we withdrew our troops isis came back, they were al qaeda in iraq. completely defeated on their knees. and when we left, al qaeda in iraq came back. iran is now a big player in iraq. that's not good for us. isis is a direct threat to our homeland. at the end of the day everything you see playing out on the ground in iraq and syria goes back to barack obama's incompetency. >> senator, let me ask you. you mention iran. president rouhani putting pressure on congress saying iran is dealing with world powers not american lawmakers. president rouhani insisting there is no deal unless all sanctions are lifted. senator is there any chance that all sanctions will be lifted? >> the sanctions created by the congress will not be lifted until congress gets to it look at the deal and we vote. if 60 senators disapprove the deal the congressional sanctions can not be lifted. the presidential waiver is removed to the president of iran, you need to understand the american political system. i know you don't live in a democracy. i know that anybody that speaks up against you in the ayatollah is shot down like a dog but here the congress is a player. and if you don't understand that you are soon going to understand it. >> do you think president obama and secretary kerry told rouhani and his representatives that, look, we can deliver congress? >> yeah, i think so. i think what happened here we rammed them over. the democrats basically broke from obama. they could not justify allowing obama to negotiate a deal to lift congressional sanctions without us looking at it how could you go home and tell your constituents i trust john kerry and barack obama so much that i don't even need to look at the deal myself. so when the president of iran says we will not agree to a deal until all sanctions are lifted here's what the president of iran needs to know. the congress will make that decision, not the president of the united states. so when john kerry tells you something, that he can control what happens in congress, this is the same john kerry who told us not to vote for the bill we just voted for. >> >> the news out of iran in the last couple of days has been under no circumstances will iran permit inspections of their military installations. if that is -- if they absolutely refuse that is there any way the u.s. congress, can you see any way the u.s. congress lifts those sanctions? >> i can't imagine getting the lighting and cheating by iran over the last 20 years using facilities to develop a nuclear weapon leaving military installations off limits. this is what the news i think is going to be. congress has a duty to tell the administration and the ayatollahs and the president of iran what we think a good deal would look like. i am going to draft a resolution defining what i think a good deal would be for america, the region, israel and the world. one of the pony nents of this good deal would be snap inspections any time anywhere. and i want to see how many members of the senate oppose th idea of inspecting sites in iran any time anywhere. >> all right. quickly then, so if iran won't permit those snap inspections of military installations -- >> -- any time anywhere. >> any time anywhere, it sounds like the deal is dead on arrival? >> i don't believe you can get the congress to approve a deal that doesn't require any time anywherei1n inspections. and if they insist on all sanctions being lifted when think you can get the congress to agree to that but we have a duty in congress to outline what a good deal would look like. i'm going to lead the effort to outline what a good deal would look like. gve it to the president, john kerry and to the iranians. >>xsenator thank you. >> thank you. >> and we are following breaking news a very bizarre scene on capitol hill today. a gyro copter that is a small helicopter crash landing on the capital lawn. the man flying the aircraft is now under arrest. leland vittert joins us live. ÷eland? >> greta, it's a good idea to first get a sense of how close doug hughes got to the u.s. capitol. behind me the u.s. capitol and he was flying this gyro copter, almost like a flying go-cart if you will, he hand landed it right where that orange cone is. and that's where he was tq) rested. the video you are watching is taken from where i am standing right now. eyewitnesses saw the gyro copter flying over. ját witness said he saw it flying all the way from the lincoln memorial three miles down the national mall as far as we know it was undetected until it landed. in the most restricted airspace in the country, if not the world. there was no attempt to shoot it down either. once it landed, doug hughes was taken into custody 61 years old. you might notice that on the tail of that gyro copter is the united states postal service logo. he worked for the postal service or may have worked there at one point. he was carrying 535 letters addressed to members of congress. he said he wanted to bring awareness to what he called problems with campaign finance reform. he certainly brought awareness right now at least to the very strange security situation here. some members of congress are saying they are behe will dered about how this possibly could have happened, how this could have gotten so close here in this very restricted airspace just a couple of miles as you know greta, from the white house. one congressman said well, had he got any closer to the capitol, the capitol police could have shot him down. although when you look at the distances here, a couple of hundred yards traveling at 30, 40, 50 mile-per-hour a couple of seconds you would have wondered how much closer he needed to get. >> leland saying bewildered how he got so close. it's unbelievable considering the security that you would expect they u.s. capitol. is this guy really dumb?@ really troubled? or do they really think he is a criminal? how are they looking at him tonight? >> well, it would be hard to t iu(v e is dumb considering that he got through some of the most sophisticated air defenses in the entire world and very well protected area. this was a well thought out plan as well. he evidently told the tampa bay times among other media organizations exactly what his plans. were he was interviewed by the secret service a while ago. they deemed him not a threat. clearly he was able to fool everybody. make his way from florida with his gyro copter up here and then complete his mission. thankful for everyone that his mission wasn't actually to blow anything up but merely just deliver this message and the u.s. attorney says they are now considering what charges he might face. >> leland thank you, and of course maybe he wasn't really dumb he had a really dumb idea. anyway, thank you, leland. >> and newly declared presidential candidate senator marco rubio laying out a plan. does it go far enough or go too far. griff jenkins spoke to senator rubio today in washington. >> senator you came here to make the case for your plan. why is it a good plan and why does it work for americans? >> first, it's the most i do ma'am nic pro-growth plan that's key to bringing debt under control. that's the key to globally competitive and key to better paying job. on the personal side it creates fairness. treats families that are raising children fairly. families undertaking significant expenses and raising future american taxpayers. the people that are going to fund social security and medicare when i retire. this plan takes out of the equation an unfair element of our current tax plan. >> you spoke about your generation. you and i are both in our 40s with kids. there is millions of americans who are looking at things going the future is a little scary. what about the plan do you think should give folks of our generation and younger some confidence? >> well, i understand why people feel unsearch about the future. the economy and the world is changing so fast. and it looks so different than it did just a decade ago. my argument is we also have extraordinary opportunities. the jobs we have lost can be relaced by better and better paying jobs. to do that we have to have a tax system that's pro-growth. we have to help people with the cost of living. the way to do that is to help them keep more of their own money. it not just lowers taxes especially for working families raising children additional tax credit to the one they have now that will help them with the daily kos of living. >> heñe is is the important question finally. can you get it done? can you get it passed? can it become a relate? >> we can get it done and we can get it passed but not without a republican president to sign it. >> the man with the plan, senator rubio the only declared candidate for president who has pen to paper greta and that plan that he put forth 25 pages of it here it's a pro-growth, moderate plan. they unveiled it here with you senator rubio and senator lee when they did this back in march. you know, the wrap on it is conservatives say it doesn't go far enough. the conservatives prefer a flat tax. liberals say that hey, it's just another big tax cut for the rich and corporations. but senator rubio is willing to take his plan put it on paper and take it to the conservative heritage foundation and talk about it today. >> i'm hoping to see everybodyìt&an i know secretary of state hillary clinton today said she would be putting out some plan or adjustments as well. thanks, griff. >> new information surfacing with hillary clinton emails. michael smith from the "new york times" joins us. michael, what happened? >> 2012, just a few weeks before she is leaving office, the house oversight committee darryl darrell issa sends her a letter hey do you use private email at all for government work? she doqáj reply. in march, seven weeks after she leaves off the state department writes back and doesn't answer the question. >> were emails sent to other agencies as well? >> yes. issa was looking into the administration's hand links of emails. were they using personal accounts improperly? they sent out these thinks things to different cabinet secretaries and they heard back. >> dr" they hear back before they heard from the state department or after. i'm trying to figure out whether the march response was a late response or not a late response? >> it's certainly after mr. issa asked for the response. mr. issa gave her six weeks or so. it went from december until march. >> what was the answer of the state department? >> no answer. >> no answer whatsoever? >> well, they ignored the question. mr. issa sent 8 questions. the only one that was really answered was one about what are your policies for personal email? >> they said our policies for personal email is you shouldn't be using email. >> did any of the other agencies specifically answer that question if you you know? i'm trying to figure out whether or not it was just the state department that was sort of dodging that question or other agencies if this was the standard protocol? >> we just know he that they responded. and when we went back to the state department yesterday to say why didn't you answer the question, they didn't answer our question. >> not at all? >> no. they didn't answer. we said what was the reason? and the statement that came back was just a bunch of nonanswers. >> what sort of provoked this investigation to begin with? >> they were looking at the e.p.a. there was an email problem with the e.p.a. where some of the officials there were using private accounts to circumvent the email system there. there was a person in the administration who worked for google who was also outside the system. >> they were trying to find out what was going on? >> c_q(u. at the time the state department didn't want to answer it. >> what is the whole thing about this email is rather perplexing. i guess we will hear a lot more about it. >> yeah it doesn't seem like it's going away. >> it certainly does not look like it's going away. michael, thank you very much. the white house threatening to veto the bill that blee peel the estate tax. democrats saying an appeal would only benefit the rich. joining us christie flown representative. why do you feel so strongly about the estate tax and is it only to benefit the rich that you would get rid of it? particular, it's extremely ununfair tax. @&c@ this is the first time we have voted on a full repeal bill in the houe. i have a very personal story about the death tax. my dad was killed in an accident on our family farm when i was 21 years old and still taking college classes. so we had land we had machinery, we had cattle. we didn't have any money in the bank. the fact that ju a short period of time after my dad was killed at 49 years old, we had a bill in the mail from the irs. it devastated us because we had to figure out how to pay it. >> how did you pay it if you have got this huge bill? what do you do? you hear this story with a lot of ranchers and farmers? >> when families have tragedies too, you know, for me in particular i kept ñ-hearing my dad's words go through my head. my dad had always said don't sell land, christie. god isn't making any more land. our only option was to sell a piece of ground that had been in our family for generations or take out a loan to pay that bill. we took out a loan and took us 10 years to pay out that loan. made it difficult for cash flow for those periods of time. that's what got me interested in government and politics. i was so frustrated that we had bureaucrats in washington, d.c. making policies that were hurting people that were just trying to run businesses and keep their family business going. and so that's really what got me interested in even serving and making a difference for normal every day people. this is is an extremely unfair tax that's been in place for years. it's time that it goes. >> the defendant -- the democrats rather say that this bill if passed, would mean 270 billion-dollar greater debt that the nation would have over a period of 10 years. how do you respond to that? >> i just think it's about fairness. our tax code should be fair. we shouldn't pick winners and losers. we shouldn't decide that somebody is worse than other people because of what they do for a living or because they own a family owned business. we should make it as simple as possible. yet, make i÷ work. and we shouldn't cause policy or put it into place that would take away family businesses. it doesn't matter if they have a hardware store, a family restaurant, or a family farm. when they have a tragedy happen to their family and then the federal government suddenly decides they should have part of that business, it's wrong. >> pass the house? do you expect it will. >> i do expect it will pass the house. >> senate, what do you expect is going to happen in the u.s. senate. >> the senate had a vote on the death tax repeal when they did their budget debate. >> a nonbinding one. >> nonbinding. resolution that went through the senate. they had 54 votes on that. they need 60 to get through the senate this time around. i'm not certain if they have the votes to get that done or not but the fact that we're seeing more and more support for a full repeal is good news. it means a lot for small families who are currently wondering how they are going to keep it in the next generation. >> the threshold for estate tax people who have an estate und pay -- they are exempt. >> there is an exemption in place to a certain level. then the tax we lowered a few years ago as part of the bargain as well. we can make that debate that it doesn't apply to very many people. unfair double taxation should it still stay in place? i don't believe so. >> one issue is the double taxation fairness issue. the other is if you own a hardware store. does it kick in for the middle class? that's what i'm trying to figure out. >> well, when you look particularly at tax reform, any time that you can ke more money in the pockets of people that are out there turning it over in the economy, we are going to see more growth than what we have seen in this administration. >> what people may not realize there are ways to get around the death tax buy life insurance policies for instance that will pay off the beneficiaries. the problem is the wealthy can navigate. there is a group of people plus, torture and i object inhumane treatment that is what our marine is doing in a iranian prison. escape plan. his family goes "on the record." coming up. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help. let's all go off-the-record for a minute. is he doing it again i'm not talking about senate minority leader harry reid. what an angry man. he must be miserable. listen to what he said about the 2016 g.o.p. presidential contenders? >> who is the republican nominee likely to be? >> you know, i don't really care. i think they are all losers. >> losers? all of them? is that what he calls them? he didn't say he has a different vision for the nation. different opinion different strategy. that's what real leaders might say. reid just calls them all losers. anyone that might dare have a different opi'ion than he has is in his words a loser. you know why he said that? he is not feeling good about himself. he is not proud of himself is. hes did the predictable. flings the gratuitous insult. not his first. remember how. wrong he was. he didn't apologize no personal integrity. gave obnoxious response defending his bad behavior then. this is how reid chooses to end his senate career. not looking like a statesman looking small. to use his words like a loser himself. the next couple of months are going to be continually painful to watch him self-destruct. i hate watching anyone to self-destruct. senate democrats will be kind to him and all to us if senator schumer would now take over as minority leader. do it now. joining us political panel. "u.s.a. today" kirsten powers is the author of the brand new book the silencing how the left is killing free speech and national journal ron foreign -- fournier. i wish he wouldn't call everybody losers. i say things inappropriate i would lyre like to hear something smart and statesman likq >> i would like to see something smart and statesmanlike from all of our politicians. weave have gotten away with one of the whoppers accused romney of not paying his taxes. he knew it was wrong and harmful to romney politically it was a lie. he never paid the price he should for it. >> he is still defending it now. a week or two ago he said well, they lost. >> unfortunately, he is often very mean-spirited. this one i agree that the romney accusation was terrible but this one is really nasty. and it's so dismissive about a group of people who whether you are going to vote for them or not i'm probably not are very impressive group of people, actually. all in their own right. and so for him to be so dismissive and a few of them are his colleagues. >> why don't some of the democrats sort of speak up or are they privately like push him out? if he doesn't want the job. i think he is hurting the party. hurting the senate. he doesn't inspire. he just sounds nasty. although regrettably bill clinton is quoted of saying he n. a phone call at the end he said i love you. >> maybe he does. >> whatever. why don't some of the democrats. >> i think harry reid the reason -- he has been very effective at his job and he has been very effective at keeping his. >> he lost the senate. >> in terms of there were bigger forces at work. and that i would say and the individual numbers tend to feel looked out for by him. that said, i think they are perfectly happy to see him go. chuck schumer is somebody more am mable to have relationships with people he disagrees with. >> name-calling is part of the game now unfortunately. why don't republicans crack down harder on was it wilson who yelled at the president you are a liar during the state of the union address. he let scott walker get away with saying the president of the united states doesn't love his country. coarseness we tend to allow on both sides. if our guy is doing it okay. what reid did was wrong and when republicans do it it's just as bad. >> maybe they are not just letting each other doing it maybe we voters are letting >> yeah. >> think of those negative ads that they -- where they call each other child molesters? they are very effective and nothing but mean spirited sound bites and twists and everything else. >> 30% of the vote don't vote for. >> they are obviously a lot of very angry people out there. angry at both democrats and republicans. but is he supposed to act more like a statesman and i think, you know regardless of whether people want it or not he shouldn't be talking about colleagues that way. >> this is the way he will leave the u.s. senate, his distinguished career will make him look petty. anyway, panel, stay with us. straight ahead.

>> no. we were not. >> anybody go visit him at that point? >> they were not allowing visitors.z=á"tirñ so he is sitting there by himself in the evin prison in the outside world. >> he has no idea what's going on in his own world. he is in solitary confinement. the one thing that people miss, i walk by rooms whether it be a closet or just a storage space and i see a one meter by one meter is compared area and my heart drops. it still does. i think they put him there for months. he had a 10-minute break a week. once a week to stretch his legs. and coming from thinking about what his does to his body and his mind. forget his body. imagine what it does to his mind. then you think who is he? what happened to him? what could have been done to amir and who is he going to be when he comes back? he a reassuring us. you realize what kind of grit he really was made of. >> january of 2012, does he have a trial or just gets a sentence of death? >> he got to meet with his attorney for five minutes before a trial. mind you a court appointed attorney. so, he was begging them for a shred of evidence([qñ to be presented in the court that yáv oing to validate their decision to it sentence him to death. they never showed him any of the evidence that they used to determine the sentence. from january until march, our family was in limbo, not knowing when they were going to hang him because ÷hey said this was basically how they go about with the death sentence. >> no due process. he had a file that they referred to as his file. evidence that may be held against him. no one has ever seen. >> how did you find out that he had been sentenced to death? >> we found out like you found out. >> in the news. >> who found out in your family first? >> we watch the news and every time we watch the news as a family we wonder what ripple effect it's going to have >> at any point i mean tell me about what's been going on with him. >> initially when he was tortured his conditions weren't just solitary. >> what's the torture like? >> the torture we heard described by amir himself was dirty cold water poured on the ground to keep him awake. lights on day and night. just to interrupt his sleep pattern. and these are just the smaller things. he was hung by his arm. >> tasered. >> hung by his arm. >> for indefinite period of time. >> to torture him. >> he had to endure the news that they had told him that his mother was killed in a car accident. just the emotional torture of being told that and not having a way to contact our family to be told that and not know if that's true or not. he was drugged with lithium for a long period of time. and then forcibly it was removed so that he would have to endure painful withdrawal symptoms. and then he was whr(ped on his feet. >> has that been the whole duration? >> no. we think it may have something to do with his confession. having him confess or to. >> you are talking about that vape that he made? >> yes. >> which was just prior to the january 2012 trial? >> we believe his worst treatment was before that video before his death sentence you have seen the video. >> very clear. if you have seen pictures of my brother on the trip. he is athletic. we found out he said is he lost over 30 pounds. very pale because he was in solitary and not access to light. and then in addition to that it was just horrific to know that people may not know this but historically iran isñforcing people to make confessions to validate the imprisonment. >> the cruelty does not impp(u mir or his parents. impacts all americans, marines. even amir's 7-year-old nephew same. sammy even came up with an escape plan. >> same, you have got to come here and explain it to me, okay? first of all, same, how old are you. >> is amir your uncle? >> um. >>um you have an escape >> yeah. okay. so, this is me. right over there that is me. that's me. so that's mir in jail. >> okay. can i see that's a prison. that's a gate right there. >> yeah. and that's dad. he pokes the guard in the eye, grabs the key and open the gate and free amir and over. we run. see? back to the car. >> that's the escape plan. that's a greatest escape plan. who came up with that? you? >> um-huh. >> not just children. a lot of people suffer. marine's little niece also has an escape plan. can you hear what she told us just go to gretawire.com. straight ahead, hear what the white house is now claiming about the american held in iran. hometown congressman taking to the house floor to demand his release. congressman dan kildee is here next. before earning enough cash back from bank of america to help pay for her kids' ice time. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time. and 2% back at the gre. is connections. apply online or at a bank of america near you. hey, girl. is it crazy that your soccer trophy is talking to you right now? it kinda is. it's as crazy as you not rolling over your old 401k. cue the horns... just harness the confidence it took you to win me and call td ameritrade's rollover consultants. they'll help with the hassle by guiding you through the whole process step by step. and they'll even call your old provider. it's easy. even she could do it. whatever, janet. for all the confidence you need td ameritrade. you got this. you just saw interview with hekmati family in michigan. they are pleading with the help to get our marine hekmati freed from dangerous prison. this week in the midst of the nuclear talks mention the marine jailed in iran. here is what josh earnt said. >> i can tell you that in the -- on the sidelines ofçó the ongoing conversations that there have been occasional discuájions about the u.s. belief that those americans are unjustly held in iran shouldñbe released. we have made our views on that known very clearly to the iranians. >> the obama administration and even officials here at the white house in touch wráh the families of those who are being held in iran. >> hekmati family disagrees. they tweeted one phone call from white house staff the week after framework agreement was announced. no contact since then. also this week, hekmati's congressman taking to thebe house floor demanding his release. >> it is important that we never let this case fade into the woodwork. i think about amir the same way that i would think about it if my own son were being held in a prison on the other side of the world. and i know that every other member of congress who has been engaged in this effort feels the same way. he is one of us. he is our son. >> and congressman dan kildee who has been a champion for the release of our marine joins us and, sir, before i even ask you about it, congratulations you have a 20 hour old grandson? >> i do, collin. >> well, welcome to collin. >> thank you. >> now to amir, talk to the ñ% family this weekend, and they are extremely grateful for everything that you have done so far in putting the spot line on. has the obama administration talked to you at all about this? >> i have talked to the president about it. i have talked to secretary kerry. other members of the administration on a regular basis. but, you know i share some of the frustration that the family experiences. i would like every single day to have every member of the administration do everything they can to get amir and the other americans home. and i know it's a priority. but my job is to make sure it's a higher priority. and iz÷ keep pressing them and i think they are listening but i want to make sure that they know. for congress, we will take very seriously what happens with these americans when we consider the evolving relationship between iran and the united states. > might show good faith judgment. pastor abedini is there because is he a christian.
