Descended on city of ramadi and took it over. Ash carter telling cnn exclusively that he is very concerned. That says to me and i think to most of us that we have an issue with the will of the iraqis to fight isil and defend themselves. Cnns athena jones joins me live from the white house. Athena last hour arwa damon in baghdad said clearly the words from the u. S. Defense secretary greatly upset the people of iraq and they said that is not the case that their armed forces do not have the will to fight. Whats the white house saying . Reporter well the white house is not saying anything today, but secretary carton iser sends this message to the iraqi forces. You can bet the white house is aware of what he said and is not speaking out of turn. Ever since the fall of ramadi this week and palmyra in syria theres been pressure on the white house and criticism on the white houses whole strategy regarding isis in the region. Youre hearing from a lot of people saying the white house needs to come up with a whole new strategy to make sure they can defeat this isis threat. You have secretary of defense carter saying look this is up to the iraqi forces to really step up. Lets play a little bit more of what he had to say in the exclusive interview with Barbara Starr. What apparently happened was that the iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. They were not outnumbered. In fact, they vastly outnumbered the opposing force. They failed to fight, they withdrew from the site, and that says to me and i think to most of us that we have an issue with the will of the iraqis to fight isil and defend themselves. Now, we can give them training we can give them equipment, we obviously cant give them the will to fight. But if we give them training we give them equipment, and give them support and give them some time i hope they will develop the will to fight because only if they fight can isil remain defeated. And so there you secretary carterimately up to iraqi forces in line with what the administration has been arguing all along its going to be up to the iraqis themselves with the help from the u. S. , coalition, people involved in the air strikes but theyre going to have to ultimately fight isis defeat isis and hold on to the territory they retake poppy. Absolutely. Quite an uphill battle when youre dealing with an armed forces on the ground not willing to do what is needed. Lets talk more about this with peter bergen. Also Kimberly Dozier joining us again. Global Affairs Analyst and contributor to the daily beast. I want you to listen to what senator john mccain said earlier foed today. First to have the president recognize he was incorrect when he said were not losing we need to have a robust strategy we need more troops on the ground we need air controllers. Were just referring to air strikes. Do you know that 75 of those combat missions return to base without having fired a weapon . Its because we dont have somebody on the ground who can identify a static moving target. And we learned in youre going to be talking about the vietnam war later on in this we found in vietnam that if you dont have the right strategy, air power is main mall ininimal in its effect. We need to have air controller, special forces, we need to have those kinds of raids that were so successful into syria. We need to have a strategy. There is no strategy. And anybody that says that there is id like to hear what it is. Because it certainly isnt apparent now. Peter bergen he did not mince any words. There is no strategy. Is he right . I think almost everything that senator mccain said in that statement is correct. I think, you know if we are serious, if the United States is serious about, for instance taking over taking back mosul, obviously that would be largely an iraqi army operation. But theres going to i think, have to be u. S. Air controllers on the ground calling in very precise air strikes. Theres going to have to be u. S. Special forces advising on the ground with those forces in mosul. Its really the question of what you want politically. I mean if youre prepared to deal with the situation where isis is either really winning or losing sometimes it loses territories, other times it gains, you know then the status quo is fine, but if you are serious, i think, about really retaking mosul, which is the second largest city in iraq clearly the iraqi army is not going to do that by itself. At least by, you know, past history suggest. Its interesting to hear even ash carter the u. S. Defense secretary in the interview with Barbara Starr said peter, i hope they will develop the will to fight. I hope . You know the will to fight. If i was an iraqi army soldier knowing what i know about isis likely reprisals on me if im still around when a city is retaken, i mean, theyre making a very rational decision. But, you know i think that calculous can change if the United States and other allied forces we already have Canadian Special forces on the ground advising them. You know i think it it you know its going to require more than the present situation has, you know developed. If were going to change the equation. Kimberly you wrote a really fascinating piece about this in the daily beast this week and talk about the frustrations youve been hearing from u. S. Military officials, one telling you this. I want to read it in full saying every few years theres a place where the u. S. Administration wont let u. S. Forces accompany those theyve trained. It went on to say this younger jengeneration has to get over it. Well that was one of my sources i was at a special operations conference for a week who was talking about, yes, there is frustration that the guys who are already there, they have to stay behind at the base. Normally the people theyre advising the people theyre training, small numbers of americans would go out with them outside the wire and in a sense, give them the courage to stand against the onslaught of isis. But theres also something psychological going on when youve got an american serviceman next to you, you know as an iraqi soldier, that that american has air strikes to call on. That american has medical evaluation to call on. And you think that in will be someone to help you to keep you from getting captured by isis. So so youve got the older generation within the u. S. Military within u. S. Special operations saying weve seen this before, we have to bide our time and wait for an administration thats ready for us to go in in small numbers. And then you have the Younger Generation going, were training these guys were winning their loyalty and then were sending them to die by themselves. They have the will to fight, but they got to trust whos next to them or whos leading them. And they dont trust the iraqi leadership. Peter, one of the things weve heard after the fall of ramadi, capital there of Anbar Province is an increasing drumbeat by some lawmakers, some saying this morning on state of the union that the u. S. Must must really increase its focus on arming and training sunni tribes to be a bigger part of this. Is that a good strategy . Well its a good strategy but im skeptical its going to take you know its going to be effective very quickly. After all, there was the strategy has been in place with ramadi. There was a sunni tribal element that didnt really work out. And right now the most sunnis are in Anbar Province are sitting on the fence, a very good reason they see isis as being victorious. Theyre either acquiescing or biding their time. And until the facts on the ground begin to really shift against isis no one in their right mind would ally with the iraqi army if theyre sunni and theyve done it once before and it worked in 2006 but already isis is ive just been reading their most recent magazine rsh magazine theyre concerned about the sunni revival, awakening, the forces that defeated them in 06, 07 and theyre going around killing those people if they can find them. Its the right idea but it is not going to happen very quickly. All right. Time is not on their side. Kimberly dozier peter bergen thank you guys both. I appreciate it. Thank you.

Catastrophic floods are slamming parts of texas and oklahoma right now. At this hour we know that two people have died three others are missing and hundreds of homes are destroyed. Floodwaters rushed in so quickly some people just did not have time to escape their homes. People scrambled to their rooftops, and crews air lifted dozens of them to safety. Theres a mandatory curfew at 9 00 local time tonight in san marcos texas, due to downed power lines and washed out roads. Alina machado has the latest. Reporter yeah poppy, the cleanup in this area is going to take at least a few days. Just take a look at all the debris were seeing here in this area. Were right underneath an overpass. This is about a 16foot clearance. There is debris stuck just underneath that overpass and were told that water at one point was flowing over the highway which is why when we were driving down here we saw debris scattered all over the roads, bales of hay, pieces of wood, furniture, you name it. It was on the roads. That over there is the river. I want to show you what it looks like right now. Its still fast moving but has gone down considerably. This all started just north of here in Blanco County where they got as much as 12 inches of rain in a very short period of time overnight. All that water rushed downstream flooding areas like san marcos where we are right now. As you know authorities are searching for those three people who are missing. Theres already at least one person who has died. And there is a curfew in effect tonight, and this is why. So theres all this debris. Look at this. All these people are showing up here. Theyve been showing up here consistently throughout the day to look at the damage. And the danger of that is here we do have debris and were told that theres even some water moccasins so people are being careful. But theres power lines. Theres a lot of destruction in other parts of the county. Authorities just dont want people out there. They dont want anybody else to get hurt. The good news in all of this is that it seems that the situation, the worse of this is over. Poppy . That is very good news. Alina machado, thank you so much. Lets go to tom sater in the cnn Severe Weather center joining us with a look at whats ahead. She said it looks like the worst is over. Is that what the forecasts are showing as well . Theyre getting a little bit of a break today, poppy, sure and the next 24 hours. Tomorrow well find the threat of more rainfall. That goes into tuesday. Weve got a flood problem really from southern texas up to northern missouri. Weve got flooding in parts of colorado, up toward and in the dakota dakotas. If we get another 2 to 4 or 4 to 6 were going to have more problems. Not like in the last 24 hours. Look at oklahoma city. 18 inches of rain this month. Wettest may on record. Wettest month ever. And the wettest may for ft. Smith, wichita falls, which by the way the National Weather service there said expect historic flooding. Drought one year ago. Exceptional drought. Parts of texas, oklahoma. Last thursday it looked like this. This does not include numbers in the last 24 hours that were like this. 7 9, 9 1 2. Over 11 1 2 inches in 24 hours. So we saw rivers and still will see what was an eightfoot level, poppy, become possibly 38 later on this evening. Again, thats areas of san marcos. We still have a threat. Weve got tornado watches across the area. So were going to be talking about this for a while. They could use a break, but more rain in the next 24 to 48. They certainly could use a break. Tom, thanks. Appreciate it. Coming up next, peaceful protests turning heated if cleveland last night after the acquittal of a Police Officer who killed two unarmed people. Well go live in cleveland next to show you how the city is reacting to that verdict. Across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes. With noninsulin victoza.

Ask your doctor about noninsulin victoza. Its covered by most health plans. The mayor of cleveland says hes proud of the peaceful protests in his city. The protests began saturday after a judge acquitted michael brelo, a Police Officer accused of shooting and killing two unarmed people in 2012. But those Peaceful Demonstrations got more aggressive by yesterday afternoon and into the evening. Some protesters even attacked innocent bystanders. In total, 71 people were arrested last night. Ryan young was there covering it all. He joins me live in cleveland. What about today, ryan . It seems like things have really calmed down today. Reporter poppy, we were live on your show for several hours yesterday, and if you look behind me really, this is whats left of the protests so far. You can see those protesters who are standing off in the distance. We are told there may be a small protest tonight outside the nba eastern conference finals. What a difference a day makes. We drove around town today to see if we could find protesters. Were told there was a rally at 1 00 we didnt see anybody. We were told there was a rally at 4 00. We didnt see anybody as well. We have these officers in front of the Justice Center keeping guard. As we went through the downtown area, cleveland cavalier fans are out getting ready for the game we saw officers everywhere. Theres so much calm and peace so far, you wouldnt realize there was a protest. The chief did talk about some of the afs arrests that were made overnight. We moved in to make arrests when things got violent and protesters refused to disperse. We wanted to make sure that people understand were going to help you in this process, but if things turn violent as we stated in the beginning, we will take action. To preserve safety in the city. Reporter poppy, you heard that from the chief. You can see the messages that were left here on the sidewalk. They go all the way down the front of the Justice Center. Weve been talking to people all day long, a lot of them believe there will be another protest but everything has remained peaceful. So much work has been done over the last two years. They wanted to make sure this wasnt another baltimore or furg on ferguson or anywhere else. They wanted it do it a different style. Ryan appreciate the reporting.

Well the race for the white house in 2016 getting more crowded by the week on the republican side, at least. Expected to announce in the coming days rick santorum, george paitaki, Martin Omalley. Lindsey graham rick perry, jeb bush Governor Scott walker and governor Chris Christie have yet to officially confirm whether theyre in or not. Lets bring in cnn politics senior enterprise reporter. Thanks for being here. I appreciate it. Hey. Lets talk about these names. I just listed a nurflurry of names. Republican potential hopefuls expected to jump in in the next few weeks. Which names do you say, all right, we pay the most attention to these guys theyre in it for the long haul . Right, you know as if we didnt have enough candidates on the republican side were expecting two more this week. Former pennsylvania senator rick santorum. Remember he actually came second to mitt romney last time around in 2012. Hes very popular among conservative social conservatives and evangelical voters. This time around i would expect to see him broaden his message somewhat to talk about blue collar Economic Issues to try and widen his lane in the republican nominating field. Then weve got George Pataki former governor of new york. Hes a very longshot candidate. He hits about 1 or even less in most polls. Withdrew have you have to we whether he was going to be able to raise the kind of money you need to run for president and to get the attention. Just in recent days youve seen him jump into this National Security debate. Yeah. He suggested sending more troops back to iraq. So i think his problem is and santorum too, to some extent is to get noticed in this massive republican field. You know when Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy a lot of people said she will do better if she has a serious opponent in her own party. When you look at a Bernie Sanders who is likely going to drag her pretty pull her pretty far to the left what does that do for Hillary Clinton long term . Does that actually benefit her . Does that hurt her . Because its not as much name recognition there with him, but there is a lot of huge policy issues. Right. There are advantages and disadvantages to Hillary Clinton being such a prohibitive frontrunner. There are a lot of democrats who are very worried that she would go into a general election against a republican not having you know had a robust debate in public for eight years. Since the last time she ran for president. Shell be out of practice. And i think actually in her rollout so far in this campaign, weve seen that a little bit. In some ways its good for her to have an opponent and democrats in the party, grassroots level, want to debate. The downside of course Bernie Sanders is going to run a popular economic campaign. Right. Hes going to run against wall street. That raises the issue of Hillary Clintons personal wealth. You know hes going to argue that the Economic System in the United States is immoral and weighted against Everyday Americans. Thats one of the reasons why youve seen Hillary Clinton so far in her campaign trying to do smallscale events to try to connect with Everyday Americans to sort of show shes not forgotten what theyre how hard it is in the aftermath of the recession. I do want to ask you about Martin Omalley, right, when you look at the aftermath of baltimore, i wonder what you think that means for Martin Omalley and his role as governor there in maryland what thats going to do to him if that is really tough for him to overcome. Yeah a lot of people thought that the events in baltimore, the riots, et cetera over the last few months would actually disqualify him from the race and make it, you know and weaken his argument for running for president. It looks like hes concluded thats not the case but hes going to have to find some way to address that. If you look back six months ago, Martin Omalley was regarded as someone who could run for president , perhaps couldnt win. Right. Possibly could be a Vice President ial contender or could be someone that could run in a who could get a job after running in a Hillary Clinton potential cabinet. Its going to be very interesting to see how he develops his campaign. He has some popularity in places like iowa but doesnt really have National Name recognition, so its going to be interesting to see how he develops that. It is interesting, our jake tapper sat down with him and said look people are going to look at baltimore, look at your policies while in office and say, did they really work . And thats clearly going to be a big issue for him. Well be watching if he does get in. Thanks so much, stephen, good to have you on the program. I appreciate it. Thanks.

Well the senate blocked a bill on saturday that would extend a controversial section of the patriot act. Section 215. That is the part that allows the nsas bulk collection of phone records. Your cell phone records, your land lines, you name it. Even the author of the law, the person who wrote most of the patriot act, says it is being abused and he does not want to see it extended. Listen. I was the principal author of the patriot act that was signed by president bush in 2011. And i also was the principal author of the two reauthorizations in 2006 and in 2011. Let me say that the revelations about section 215 were a shock and that if the Bulk Collection Program was debated by the congress in each of these three instances, it never would have been approved. Thats what the guy says who wrote that. Lets talk about it with cnn political commentators ben ferguson and marc lamont hill. Guys thanks for being here. Let me begin with you, marc. Its interesting, Mitch Mcconnell very upset he couldnt get the senators to vote on this extension he wants to see calling them back in a week to see that happen. This is exposing an interesting divide in the Republican Party because you see rand paul so fired up about this saying absolutely not, basically this is unamerican, we cannot allow this to continue and you have a lot of other republicans, john mccain among them saying look this is needed for National Security. Does this matter that were seeing this divide among the gop in this . I think its first of all healthy that we see division among the Republican Party or the Democratic Party on a particular issue, for the last six years weve seen so much infighting so much obstruction that people were voting in bloc irrespective of their actual identity. As a person on the left its also fun to watch Lindsey Graham roll his eyes while rand paul is talking about this. I love that. But ultimately i think it comes down to whether or not the soul of the gop will be on the fringe or whether it will be in the center. Im not saying one is good or bad per se. Im saying thats what the battle is going to be and a tough road for people like rand paul. We always heard from Mike Huckabee whos running for president. He spoke about this today a little bit earlier on fox news. Lets listen. 225 different terrorists plots over the past years since 9 11 and so far not one of them has been tied directly to the nsas collection of metadata. So if this is so effective, how come it hasnt resulted in the foiled terrorist plots . Hmm. So there you also have ben, Mike Huckabee saying no this should not go any further. You got a big divide here. Its a divide within the Democratic Party and the republican pertarty. Ill give rand paul credit for one thing. He is very consistent on this issue and has been for years since he ran for the senate the first time. He is one of those that says that you should have an awful lot of protection against your data being taken by the government or monitored by the government if youve done nothing wrong and youre just an american citizen. The same time theres others that say on both sides of the aisle that hey, we do need this data because when we are trying to connect dots this can be very valuable in stopping terrorists or connecting a terrorist network. So im glad its kind of taking time for this to happen because theres Brilliant Minds on both sides are trying to find this balance and rarely do you see this many people within both parties disagreeing with one another. And they think, some people think they found a balance with this stortort of amended version, usa freedom act that made it through the act. Its unclear whats going to happen in the senate. I think its interesting you think up rand paul. Marc, weigh in on this. He said quoting benjamin franklin, right, he said if you give up your liberty you will have matter. If you give up your liberty in exchange of security you may well end up with neither. Whats interesting here i think is the strategy of not only does he believe this but i think rand paul also trying to galvanize this Younger Voting bloc that was so important to president obama. Yeah. I mean, and there is a history of certain candidates on the right galvanizing the young base talking about civil liberties, talking about limited government talking about noninterventionism. A guy named ron paul did it. Didnt work out good for him on the president ial front. Thats what rand paul has to worry about. He could end up becoming another peoples chance like his father as opposed to someone who can win. Again, im not saying hes wrong. I happen to think rand paul is right on this issue. At the end of the day if hes seen as soft on security or soft on terrorism, which is what his opponents will spin this to be in the primaries, hes going to have a tough row to hoe for the next nine months. Its going to be very very challenging for him. Do you think, ben, we need to be hearing more from Hillary Clinton on this . Yes, but i dont think were going to because Hillary Clinton is not saying much of anything right now. Whether shell even get into this or not is something i think will probably be six or nine months from now. Thats what im guessing. I feel like hillarys campaign is like a baby. Nine months to see her come around and answer questions. So you know were in the first trimester right now. Its going to take some time. Marc . Ben is one of those people that doesnt love when people actually talk to voters. Hes one of those hes becoming a media snob a big tv star now and doesnt want people talking to voters. He wants people talking to the media. All right, guys im getting the wrap. Im getting the wrap. I promise you i got to make my producers happy. I got to go. Thanks for being with me. Have a great week. Appreciate it. Ben ferguson, marc lamont hill. Well be right back. First this. Citrus is a huge global business. This week we head to the supply chain, the sunshine state. When you think of florida, you naturally think of sunshine and oranges. This may surprise you. A whopping 95 of florida oranges are squeezed into juice. And then onequarter of that is exported to places like south korea, canada, and japan. Almost 100 years ago in 1922 a florida farmer hunt, planted a single seed that would lead to a business that would change a family tree forever. Today they are one of the largest orange shippers in the state, producing nearly 2 million cartons per year. Proving that oranges dont fall far from the tree today Hunt Brothers is run by the hunt cousins who take pride that their Family Business has expand expanded from its Humble Beginnings to selling beyond borders. With about 10 of their fruitful commodity going overseas. One challenge to overcome was how to transport this perishable product to the other side of the world in 30 days and avoid spoilage. Were picking the fruit and trying to stay right as close in behind the harvest as we can, getting it under refrigeration to keep the fruit as fresh. Reporter when hunt planted that single seed nearly 100 years ago, he likely never dreamed it would spawn acres of citrus and a Family Business that would support generations to come. And yield juice for the breakfast tables of japan. With xfinity from comcast you can manage your account anytime, anywhere on any device.

She was a huge ambassador if our program we started in 2009 with baseball. We started soccer kerrie was part of we started in 2005. This year we were super excited. Every time baseball would come around there was no question that kerrie was going to be there for us. She loved our kids. In fact two days before this tragic incident you know, we were talking about baseball and how some of her kids now were too old to play. And she was very disappointed by that. And, you know what we want to build with our Baseball Program and kerrie has been a huge part of it is that you know we wanted something these kids can look forward to every year and i felt horrible the fact that you know we wanted the kids to come out and, you know train with us and still be at the game. Its just you got a 13yearold kid versus an 8yearold or 9yearold kid, its a big difference in baseball. Those who know baseball.

Cnns jim acosta reports from Arlington National cemetery. Reporter from the tomb of the unknown soldier. To the grave of americas 35th president. The 624 acres just outside of the Nations Capital are the final resting place for more than 400,000 souls. This just gives you a sense as to the people who are buried here. Harry alexander lowe. World war i. Andrew hamilton world war i. James edmonds patton world war i. But here Vincent Deangelo world war ii. Korea. Vietnam. Command historian steve carney is the current keeper of the history at Arlington National cemetery and many of its stories. Dating back to the first burial here during the civil war. Is this essentially where the cemetery then began . Starting with private christman . The war dead from the civil war started bringing them to this site. Reporter how quickly did this cemetery start to expand at that point . Kind of where were standing up to the crest of this ridge. All these burials were conducted here between may 13th and june 14th of 1864. On june 15th of 1864 we officially become a national cemetery. Reporter graves then were made of a thin piece of wood with a name carved into it. Marble markers were installed in 1872. Were often asked, you know whats the genesis of the cemetery . What the facts are is that this ground that George Washingtons step grandson the child he raised as his own son, when he inherited this property he built the arlington house on this high ground that were standing on now that was the absolutely dominant terrain over the district of columbia. So it just started as the civil war in 18 1. 61. Theres a military necessity the army sees this property to defend. Reporter the nation began memorializing its war dead at arlington in 1868. Five years later, an amphitheater was built to hold official memorial day ceremonies. This is the original amphitheater that was constructed in 1873 so 5 years, so it was ready in time for the fifth day. On this every president essentially from 1873 through 1919 would have given a memorial day address here. Present. Reporter although memorial day is recognized every year with a ceremonial laying of the wreath by the commander in chief, only two u. S. President s have been laid to rest here. Why arent more president s buried at arlington . I think that sets the precedent, or George Washington really sort of set that precedent of being buryied at you know his home or in his home state. William howard taft is buried here in 1930 and certainly bucks the trend that had been established by George Washington of a president being buried you know at their in their hometown. Reporter when president kennedy was buried here demand to be buried at Arlington National cemetery skyrocketed. Yeah. Reporter what happened . Tripled or quadrupled every year. So if we think of it in terms of this is really the first time there was a televised full honors funeral at Arlington National cemetery and much like Decoration Day propelled arlington it becoming the premiere National Military cemetery in the 1800s. To me president kennedys funeral, televised funeral, is a big turning point for the cemetery in the 20th century. And when people see what it truly means to be buried here at Arlington National cemetery among full honors that really increases the demand the desire to be buried at this place. At this most sacred shrine. Reporter each year americans from across the country visit these hallowed grounds to pay respects to relatives who were buried at arlington. My maternal grandparents are here. Thats my grandfather, Vincent Daniel rice. My moms dad. And thats my grandmother, elsie. Wow. Will arlington run out of space . The answer is yes. At some point. Theres only a certain area that you can expand into. But right now there are two expansion projects. Last burial in that section might well be out in the 2100s. We still do second or third internments. Reporter youre planning out into the 2100s . Yes. Reporter as the nations cemetery continues on into that future carney and the millions of people who come to arlington each year help keep its past alive. We have over 400,000 people buried here. So there are 400,000 stories to research. To study. To learn. Reporter what does memorial day mean to you . Its just a day where every headstone here has an American Flag in front of it and as you drive through or as you see that vista, it just really to me drives home that remembrance of the sacrifice of so many. For all of those who gave their lives, for their family and their friends, we thank you for your sacrifice. Im poppy harlow in new york. Good night
