Im Erin Burnett Outfront tonight. Breaking news president obama. Slamming the 47 senators who wrote the letter to the Iran Supreme Leader asking them to renig on the agreement. Their basic argument to them is dont deal with our president because you cant trust him to follow through on an agreement. Thats close to unprecedented. According to the senators letter if president obama signs a deal with iran quote, the next president could revoke such an executive agreement with a stroke of a pen. Jim acosta is outfront at the white house. Jim, the president is firing back. I think pretty aggressively so on the day that the iran talks hit a major road block, too. Reporter erin that letter may be having an impact. They brought of senator tom cottons letter to the ayatollah and in new material from his interview, the president made it clear he is furious. While iranian and u. S. Officials try to make progress in their talks in switzerland, they hit a speed bump. In a letter written by tom cotton signed by 46 of its his colleagues complaining about the nuclear talks. Tehran negotiators raised the letter with the officials. Im embarrassed for them because its not how america does business. Reporter in a newly released interview, the president blasted cotton. For them to address a letter to the ayatollah, the Supreme Leader of iran who they claim is our mortal enemy and their basic argument to them is dont deal with our president because you cant trust him to follow through on an agreement, its close to unprecedented. Reporter despite that tough talk the freshman senator is not standing down. The congress is ready to impose much more severe sanctions. Reporter but congress is gaining critics. Like a lovestruck teenager he has sent four secret letters to ayatollah. Reporter Dennis Mcdonough sent a letter to bob corker assuring him that congress will have a role to play and will have to take a vote but the white house conceded that they would Rather Congress stay out of the process for months for a framework agreement. For all of the hyperventilating that we see on capitol hill there is no green that has been reached. And press secretary josh earnest said they may Want Congress to hold off even longer. That is not going to fly with republicans or perhaps even democrats. As for cottons letter officials are calling it a distraction but one official told me its not a helpful one and we should keep in mind that cotton went after the white house again after his first speech on the senate floor, he described the talks under way as quote, appeasement. Erin . Obviously a reference to world war ii. Thank you jim acosta. John John Barrasso is joining me. You were one of the senators that signed the letter. What do you say, senator, to the American People who think obviously there by a margin of 10 Percentage Points they think what you did is wrong. Iran with a Nuclear Weapon makes america less stable and secure and if they cant deal with a letter things are not as solid as the president says that they are. Realistically, this discussion with iran was supposed to be about dismantling their capacity to have a Nuclear Weapon and instead they are talking now about just delaying the ability of iran to get a Nuclear Weapon. We were supposed to stop them and instead the president is negotiating a way to manage them. But people all across the country have real concerns about the president s weakness when it comes to foreign relations. Weve seen it with a red line in syria. He drew the red line. They used chemical weapons. They did nothing. Weve seen him pull troops out of iraq against the opinion of his military leaders and thats what created the opportunity for isis to go in there. And then with yemen, he said it was a success right up until the point that iran took over yemen. So there are great concerns about this president s capacity at an international level. I know there are questions. Of course iran has yet to take over yemen and they obviously have been supporting some of the rebel groups there. Irans Supreme Leader, ayatollah, one of the clerics who you addressed that letter tweeted after you wrote that letter and said, the team of negotiators appointed by president Hassan Rouhani but im worried because the other side. It isnt normal protocol for senators to send such a letter. Are you worried at all, senator, that you gave Iran Supreme Leader propaganda material perhaps leverage for the deal . I think the president ought to be using approval by the United States senate as leverage in the negotiations. President obama ought to be embracing the opportunity for congress to weigh in on this. After all, john kerry has said that congress would. Thats where the leverage ought to be. The president ought to welcome this opportunity. Plus it would validate and give credibility to what the president has done. Instead, the saturday night surprise letter that came from the white house chief of staff to senator corker basically said the president of the United States would rather go to the Security Council of the United Nations than go to the congress of the United States for approval. They dont want to have a vote in congress until after the president leaves the white house. And senator, i know you talk about what you refer to as some of the president s weaknesses when it comes to foreign policy. Some foreign leaders or potential foreign leaders dont see it that way. Obviously the deal will come down to the prime minuter, whether he wins the reelection tomorrow. If he loses, he loses to isaac herzog who said, i trust the Obama Administration to get a good deal. If the possible new Prime Minister trusts the president , should you . Well when i was in saudi arabia in january, met with a man who is now king and others and they dont want to see a deal like this. They are ready for a nuclear arms race. And its not just saudi arabia who wants Nuclear Weapons. Its also turkey egypt, the emirates because they believe this is a deal that is not dismantling the capacity of iran to get a Nuclear Weapon but just managing a Nuclear Armed iran and thats why all of these other countries are trying to get Nuclear Weapons as well. We know what iran wants. Iran wants the sanctions to go away so they get the additional money that they will use, i believe, for terrorist purposes. They will fund hezbollah, as well as money in yemen. Iran is developing an arc of dominance all the way from iran to the mediterranean with what is happening in lebanon as well. Thank you very much senator barrasso. I want to be sure you all know krn cnn will be releasing new poll results tomorrow on new day. If netanyahu loses, he will lose to a man named isaac herzog. That seems increasingly possible. So who is this man that i mentioned, isaac herzog who could become Prime Minister of americas biggest ally in the middle east . Elise labott is outfront tonight. Reporter isaac herzog said a prayer to fulfill his destiny. He seems an unlikely candidate for Prime Minister. Ive always suffered from a certain underestimation. Reporter even his highpitched voice has become a concern in this campaign. Something that he has acknowledged when he poked fun of himself in this campaign ad using someone elses voice. [ speaking in Foreign Language ] reporter he comes from political royalty. The israeli version of the kennedys. His grandfather, one of israels first chief rabbis his uncle, a fierce foreign minister. Benjamin netanyahu falling behind in the polls dismisses him as a lightweight who cant stand up to iran or the palestinians. In a recent campaign ad portraying himself as a baby sitter to herzog. But israeli voters are more focused on security something that netanyahu was not counting on when he made his highprofile speech to Congress Earlier this month. The groups secret weapon is jeremy bird a former Obama Campaign strategist who scolded the tactics that helped repel obama to office. Netanyahu is calling foul, pointing to a worldwide effort to unseat him. Theres fatigue. Theres a lot of disappointment from benjamin netanyahu. I think his era is over. Reporter herzog said he would reignite peace talks with the palestinians and would work with washington and its allies on a nuclear deal with iran. Its better than the one currently being negotiated. Because security is not only in the barrel of the gun. Security has got much bigger than that. It has to do with regional alliances. Clearly, im ready for all of this. And herzog calls netanyahus Security Platform an empty brand, pointing to an Iranian Nuclear threat stalled peace talks about the palestinians and deepening tensions with washington. He says israel is no safer than when the Prime Minister took office. Herzog says netanyahu has failed and hes calling his bluff. Its going to be an incredible day to watch those votes come in.

Do you know if police beat williams or coerced him, as his mother says to say that he shot these Police Officers when he didnt . You know i dont know.
