Power in iraq than the threat of the Islamic State. You asked about the battle for tikrit and the presence of iranian advisors on the ground. That is something were watching very closely. It is something that is concerning to us. That has absolutely been disruptive to the inclusiveness or potential for an inclusive government. Believe me, i share your concerns. Were watching carefully. Well be talking with the former u. S. Ambassador to iraq, christopher hill. We will be talking about which poses the greatest risk for iraq in his judgment iran or the Islamic State. Also, Hillary Clinton after remaining silent for a week, finally talked publicly about her email controversy. Clinton telling reporters that its all a matter of her convenience. I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the state department, because i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two. Looking back it would have been better if i had simply used a second email account and carried a second phone, but at the time, this didnt seem like an issue. The former secretary of state then dismissed all calls for transparency. The server contains personal communication from my husband and me and i believe i have met all of my responsibilities, and the server will remain private and i think that the state department will be able over time to release all of the records that were provided. We will take up what all of this means for her president ial chances. The ateam tonight Pulitzer Prize winning columnist michael goodwin, democratic strategist julie rajenski. For the past week democrats have been blasting an open letter by republican senators to irans leaders warning them that the emerging nuclear deal would be strictly between president obama and the ayatollah. Today secretary of state john kerry seemingly agreed. With respect to the talks we have been clear from the beginning, were not negotiating a quote, legally binding plan. We are negotiating a plan that will have in it a capacity for enforcement. We dont even have diplomatic relations with iran right now. And the senators letter erroneously asserts this is a legally binding plan. Its not. Secretary kerrys stunning admission that it isnt an enforceable treaty of any form coming after slamming Senate Republicans over their letter to iran. My reaction to the letter was utter disbelief and it purports to tell the world that if you want to have any confidence in your dealings with america they have to negotiate with 535 members of congress. My first guest is among those 535. Hes one of the 47 republicans, in fact who signed the letter to the iranian leadership. Joining us tonight, senator james inhofe, member of the Senate Armed Services committee. Senator, good to have you with us. Are you absolutely shocked that senator kerry would say that all of this negotiation that the administration has undertaken with the iranians, the chinese the russians would not be a legally binding agreement . Lou i quit being shocked about things that john kerry said a long time ago. Now, youre talking to one of two people who voted against his confirmation and one reason is you never hear the same story out of him. All hes been talking about is the fact how upset he is that 47 of us said before we have anything to do with any kind of a treaty its got to be ratified. We have the law on our side, we have the constitution on our side. Now weve got john kerry on our side. It appears so. This is the first time to my knowledge that hes ever said such a thing, at least publicly and to me, at least i have to say to you, senator i was surprised. I was shocked by his statement. When you signed that letter, was the purpose to serve notice on the white house and the iranians simultaneously that the republicans have now drawn a line, a red line, if one prefers, about how far this president can go now without advise and consent and considerable considerable acquiescence to the constitution . You and i have talked since 2007. In 2007 our unclassified intelligence said that by 2015, iran would have the weapon and a delivery system. Well, guess what . Its 2015 now and so i appreciated the general coming on a couple nights ago and saying that the greatest threat now isnt isis its still iran. Now, we dont know how far along they are. Our intelligence tries to say that they do know, but any time you have a president who is signing an agreement agreeing that we with withdraw we will bring back all of our the only leverage that we have over them. In return, they can still come up with 19,000 centrifuges, its something thats pretty scary. It is a very frightening thing and i hope everyone in america heard netanyahus speech that has to be the best ten ever delivered in america. You are plainspoken to your immense credit in my judgment, and the fact of the matter is iran as we have reported on this broadcast has remained throughout the principal enemy of the United States, responsible for a third of our casualties in iraq, many of those in afghanistan as well. It is a state sponsor of terrorism on five continents. It continues to support those who are trying to destroy israel and to do so directly. What in the world, why are we so eager to go to war against the Islamic State but havent it seems, either the will or the manifest courage to go after the state that is contrary to all of our interests, iran . What i wouldnt want to say is isis is not worthy of doing everything we can to stop them. But the general public is not aware of iran because the administration has always talked about iran and their new leadership now they can come to the table, but look, look at other places. I just got back from ukraine. At the time that their parliament came through for the first time and they elected a new parliament, first time in 96 years that they dont have one communist there and we have totally ignored what putin is doing right after they have shown that allegiance to the west and to us. So its all over. Its just that iran is the most dangerous. We dont know how far along they are, but they by their own admission were going to be there by 2015. I think they might be. Senator as always, good to have you with us. Thank you. Senator james inhofe. Thank you, lou. Nato secretary general today announcing russia is still arming and training rebel separatist forces in Eastern Ukraine. I will not go into specific numbers, but what i can confirm is that we have seen and still see russian presence and strong support for sympathies in Eastern Ukraine. We see delivery of equipment forces training, so russia is still in Eastern Ukraine. They have over long period provided substantial support for the separatists. Therefore, we call on russia to withdraw all its forces from Eastern Ukraine and to respect the minsk agreement. The secretary general went on to say the ceasefire in the region remains fragile but of course, that says very clearly that the ceasefire at least is in place. Ukraine, however, will have to look elsewhere for help. The Obama Administration today announced its sending 75 million of nonlethal aid to ukraine, including humvees drones, first aid kits, military ambulances. The package obviously stops well short of giving ukraine anything that would help it repel the advances of the separatists. New u. S. Sanctions targeting rebel leaders but those sanctions of course would only freeze assets of individuals and institutions on u. S. Property. Iranians leading the iraqis into tikrit. Top American Defense officials wringing their hands about whats next. Former ambassador to iraq, christopher hill, joins us here next. The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff today detailing fears that shia fighters backed by iran could eventually turn against sunni iraqis. Iran is not a new a new entrant into the crucible of iraq. They have been there since 2004. In some cases their economic influence and other ways has contributed to the future of iraq. In other ways it has absolutely been disruptive to the inclusiveness or the potential for an inclusive government. We are all concerned about what happens after the drums stop beating and isil is defeated. Joining us now, former u. S. Ambassador to iraq christopher hill. He is now dean of the joseph carbell school of International Studies at the university of denver, author of outpost. Having been in a few outposts. Good to have you with us. Ambassador, lets turn to first what seems to be the architecture of testimony today suggesting that iranian influence in iraq somehow is new and secondly is more disruptive than having people beheaded and territory conquered by the Islamic State. This is strange, almost absurd stuff, is it not . Well, the iranians have indeed been in iraq for some years, and their presence has been pretty nefarious. They essentially have been helping these Iraqi Militia groups, the shia militia groups, who by the way are no friend of the shia government in baghdad. But in the last year the situation has gotten pretty dicey. The iraqi army basically collapsed. Its being put back together, but we are also seeing the shia groups in and amongst the iraqi army units, and where are they fighting . They are fighting now in primarily sunni areas, and as much as we have tried to get the sunni tribesmen involved in the fight against isis and with some success, its going to be problematic when these sunni tribesmen meet these shia militia groups backed by iranian advisors. And that is going to be the real rub here. Its going to be a tough moment. They are more than advisors. Theres the qods force. They are in whole hog on this deal. And the United States is watching and sort of bleating like sheep in washington, d. C. About the influence of the iranians. Could we have been clumsier and more feeble in appearance than we have sounded and behaved in iraq since 2011 . Well, i must say its a tough issue. Im not going to cast any aspersions on people who followed me there except to say its a tough issue. Youve got sunnis who have absolutely no desire ever to live under shia thats well documented. What im asking you is to offend some people with the truth, but if the truth offends that isnt the purpose of this broadcast. Our purpose is to Talk Straight to the American People. They deserve that. Your salary, your retirement paid for in part by the taxpayer. You have committed a career of Public Service and we cant have people just say its over. I wont be a truth speaker. Can they . Can we survive that . Let me tell you, lou, the issue is not between good guys and bad guys there. Its between bad guys and worse guys. I think you could make a case for the isis being the worst guys. I think that thats an interesting construction. I think you could make lots of other cases, like why in the world are we not far more intelligent in the way we pursue our Foreign Policy. Ive got to ask you this as an ambassador, an employee of the state department in your career. How could you have a state department where they dont retain emails . How can we have a separate government operating within our government . Okay. This is the way the email situation works for the average state department official. You are issued a state Department Email and thats the email you use at your desk. If you want to transfer to your private email in order to book a reservation for a restaurant or something you got to get out of that computer and into another field. That is, you have to go through so it aint easy to get back into a private email. The consequences if people are using the state Department Email for all kinds of private things. Thats usually the problem there. Well one thing about it the problems dont last long. They get rid of the emails, apparently which is quite a remarkable thing for an important arm of our National Security policy. Very interesting report today. It really was. Yeah. Interestingly timed, dont you think. Yeah, absolutely. Ambassador good to have you with us. Ambassador christopher hill. Thanks very much. Up next taping for a french reality show turns deadly.

Dramatic new Surveillance Video out of dover new hampshire, where a tractor trailer truck lost control hit a car in the southbound lane and then plowed through an unmanned toll booth. Both the truck driver and the driver of the automobile were taken to a nearby hospital. Neither with lifethreatening injuries. We are still not sure what caused that truck driver to lose control of the vehicle. A few thoughts now on the reaction to that letter to irans leaders from 47 republican senators. Some democrats are having a fullon hissy fit as left wing politicians are want to do. Vice President Biden among them. Mr. Biden very excited in fact, slamming the letter in a statement saying quote, in 36 years in the United States senate i cannot recall another instance in which senators wrote directly to advise another country, much less a longtime foreign adversary, that the president does not have the Constitutional Authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them. The decision to undercut our president and circumvent our constitutional system offends me said the vice president. He appears to have forgotten his previous views and actual conduct when he was serving in the u. S. Senate himself. A quarter century ago, then senator biden persuaded the senate to narrow its approval of president reagans intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty with the soviet union. He later said this. Quote, it would have been utterly unsafe and improper to entrust the power of making treaties to the president alone. You remember, mr. Biden, now . Other oh so worked up democrats have also conveniently forgotten the times they themselves intervened with foreign governments. Not only offering their individual views to foreign leaders, but in some cases, actually voicing dissent and working actively to disrupt the administrations Foreign Policy. For example in 2007, then House Speaker nancy pelosi traveled to damascus to meet with Bashar Al Assad against the wishes of the Bush White House which was then seeking to isolate the syrian leader. In 2002, three House Democrats traveled to baghdad, in effect warning Saddam Hussein of president bushs plans. The congressmen said they were just trying to head off the iraq war. Secretary kerry himself imagine this he broke channels to directly intervene in the diplomacy and policies of president reagan. House speaker jim wright met with opposition leaders in nicaraguas contrawar. Senator kerry also negotiated with the regime in 1985. Senator ted kennedy used a personal representative to carry more than a proposition to the soviets in 1983. His intermediary offered the kgb a deal to undermine president reagans Foreign Policy and to support premier andropovs u. S. Image in return for soviet help for the democrats in the 1984 president ial campaign against reagan. Thats more than intervention, isnt it.
