tv Lou Dobbs Tonight FOX Business March 14, 2015 7:00pm-8:01pm EDT
7:00 pm
$144 million. we salute you jim. that's what we talk about. go to our website. foxbusiness.com/charlesp foxbusiness.com/charlesp hello everybody. i'm lou dobbs. the iranian military has succeeded where u.s. forces could not. you're looking at video of some of the iranian-led 30,000 fighters who have driven most of the islamic state from the iraqi city of tikrit. those forces reportedly have succeeded in their battle to retake tikrit from the islamic state, capturing part of the city's northern district, making a rapid push toward the city center. with the u.s. military not involved in any way in this operation, there appears to be rising unease in the pentagon about the direction of events in iraq. in some cases, top defense officials appear more concerned
7:01 pm
about iran's rising political 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 we're 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. we're watching carefully. >> we'll 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 e-mail controversy. clinton telling reporters that it's all a matter of her convenience.
7:02 pm
>> i opted for convenience to use my personal e-mail 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 e-mails instead of two. looking back it would have been better if i had simply used a second e-mail account and carried a second phone, but at the time, this didn't 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 presidential chances.
7:03 pm
the a-team 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 iran's 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, we're not negotiating a quote, legally binding plan. we are negotiating a plan that will have in it a capacity for enforcement. we don't even have diplomatic relations with iran right now. and the senators' letter erroneously asserts this is a legally binding plan. it's not. >> secretary kerry's stunning admission that it isn't an
7:04 pm
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. he's 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
7:05 pm
about things that john kerry said a long time ago. now, you're 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 he's 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 it's got to be ratified. we have the law on our side, we have the constitution on our side. now we've got john kerry on our side. >> it appears so. this is the first time to my knowledge that he's 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
7:06 pm
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? it's 2015 now and so i appreciated the general coming on a couple nights ago and saying that the greatest threat now isn't isis it's still iran. now, we don't 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, it's something that's pretty scary. it is a very frightening thing
7:07 pm
and i hope everyone in america heard netanyahu's speech that has to be the best ten ever delivered in america. >> you are plain-spoken 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 haven't it seems, either the will or the manifest courage to go after the state that is contrary to all of our interests, iran?
7:08 pm
>> what i wouldn't 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 don't 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 it's all over. it's just that iran is the most dangerous. we don't 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
7:09 pm
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 cease-fire in the region remains fragile but of course, that says very clearly that the cease-fire at least is in place. ukraine, however, will have to look elsewhere for help.
7:10 pm
the obama administration today announced it's sending $75 million of non-lethal 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 what's next. former ambassador to iraq, christopher hill, joins us here next.
7:13 pm
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.
7:14 pm
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
7:15 pm
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, let's 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
7:16 pm
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. it's 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, it's 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. it's going to be a tough moment. >> they are more than advisors. there's 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.
7:17 pm
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 it's a tough issue. i'm not going to cast any aspersions on people who followed me there except to say it's a tough issue. you've got sunnis who have absolutely no desire ever to live under shia -- >> that's well documented. what i'm asking you is to offend some people with the truth, but if the truth offends that isn't 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 can't have people just say it's over. i won't be a truth speaker. can they?
7:18 pm
can we survive that? >> let me tell you, lou, the issue is not between good guys and bad guys there. it's between bad guys and worse guys. i think you could make a case for the isis being the worst guys. >> i think that that's 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. i've 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 don't retain e-mails? how can we have a separate government operating within our government? >> okay. this is the way the e-mail situation works for the average state department official. you are issued a state department e-mail and that's the e-mail you use at your desk. if you want to transfer to your private e-mail in order to book a reservation for a restaurant or something you got to get out of that computer and into
7:19 pm
another field. that is, you have to go through -- so it ain't easy to get back into a private e-mail. the consequences if people are using the state department e-mail for all kinds of private things. that's usually the problem there. >> well one thing about it the problems don't last long. they get rid of the e-mails, 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, don't 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. that incredible video coming up here shortly. and the hypocrisy of the left. dems forgetting their own, their own interventions with foreign governments. my commentary coming right up. stay with us.
7:24 pm
shocking video of a tragedy capturing the moment two helicopters collided in midair in a remote part of argentina. ten people were killed in the collision. the helicopters were filming a french reality television show similar to "survivor." among those killed, two french olympic medalists and an accomplished sailor. investigators are now looking into the cause of the terrible crash. 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 life-threatening injuries. we are still not sure what caused that truck driver to lose control of the vehicle. a few thoughts now on the
7:25 pm
reaction to that letter to iran's leaders from 47 republican senators. some democrats are having a full-on 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 long-time 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.
7:26 pm
a quarter century ago, then senator biden persuaded the senate to narrow its approval of president reagan's 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 administration's 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
7:27 pm
seeking to isolate the syrian leader. in 2002, three house democrats traveled to baghdad, in effect warning saddam hussein of president bush's 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 nicaragua's 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 reagan's foreign policy and to support premier andropov's u.s. image in return for soviet help for the democrats in the 1984
7:28 pm
presidential campaign against reagan. that's more than intervention, isn't it. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell today offered an explanation as to why the obama administration decries any outside influence and is so eager to go it alone on a nuclear deal with iran. >> all of us should be suspicious of an administration that is so intent on keeping the elected representatives of the american people out of this deal. you have to ask yourself why. why. and there's only one conclusion you could reach which is he intends to make a bad deal. >> mcconnell and the republican leadership have, it appears, figured out what this administration is all about. now our quotation of the evening. this one from a man i would expect good democrats such as pelosi, obama kerry, to like a lot.
7:29 pm
it was president harry truman who said once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition it has only one way to go and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. we're coming right back. hillary tries to tamp down her e-mail controversy. we discuss that and how clinton allowed her foundation to take money from foreign governments that oppress women, next. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda.

7:33 pm
new surveillance video out of a chucke cheese have officials looking for five customers who were upset at a broken photo booth at a birthday party. they attacked six employees who were hospitalized briefly and released. a company spokeswoman says they are working with police to find and arrest the attackers who fled before law enforcement arrived on the scene. and so much for having good southern manners. two women's college basketball teams texas southern and southern university had to forfeit a game after this nasty brawl broke out in the second
7:34 pm
half. it happened after a texas southern player took a charge beneath her basket and as they say a brawl ensued. afterward, 15 players were suspended for fighting. they didn't fight well it appears but they did fight and vigorously. breaking news tonight. we are learning more about the content of hillary clinton's official e-mails on her private server. as it turns out, some 2900 of her e-mails contain the words benghazi and libya. but the house select committee on benghazi says the former secretary of state turned over only 300 of those e-mails related to the 2012 terrorist attack. hillary clinton's e-mail controversy not the only thing that could hurt her chances in 2016. a new poll shows nearly six in ten americans are eager for change in 2016 yet a majority
7:35 pm
of voters believe hillary clinton and jeb bush represent a return to policies of the past. that according to the new "wall street journal"/nbc news poll. joining us now, pulitzer prize winning columnist nor the new york post, michael goodwin. democratic strategist, julie rajinski. great to have you with us. let's turn to first the former secretary of state's performance today with that very quick news conference. >> atrocious. i say that as a democrat. atrocious and unfair to the people that are either supporters of hers or people who are democrats who understand that she's most likely our nominee and expect better from somebody that they want to keep the white house than what she put in today. she owes the public much more explanation. she owes the public much more transparency. and she owes the public much more than that story performance today. i say that as a democrat. i am desperately worried about what i saw today.
7:36 pm
>> do you believe the current president has been setting those standards that you would have her repair to? his has not been exactly the open and transparent administration he promised, right? >> look, what she did i think went above and beyond anything we have seen before. if you are conducting government business solely on your personal e-mail server you shouldn't get upset when people want to see all the e-mails because all of a sudden you are making a distinction between personal and non-personal. she's the one that made the distinction, not the rest of us. >> i guess it's my turn to be the good cop here. i thought that in many ways, she handled herself quite well. i think she was well prepared. she stuck to her script. she didn't veer. the questions didn't throw her. the problem was the content. i think that what she did was she threw something out there seeing whether it would be enough. it clearly won't be enough. she's going to have to dig deeper, provide more answers, but just in terms of her ability as a professional politician, she's come a long way. she was quite good today in the way she handled herself. >> let me ask you this because
7:37 pm
colin powell, republican secretary of state under george w. bush, he didn't keep his e-mails either. he didn't use official e-mail. and there's a sort of preposterous conclusion that if you are a federal employee, you can have your own server, you don't need to bother with that nonsense and to try to evade responsibility for it being a government job, paid for for the purpose of the people who own everything attendant to it, right? >> well, this is what's troubling to me. if you work in government, i assume you can carry two iphones, one your personal one -- >> this is a shock. this actually goes to something that's bizarre. she was talking about this as a matter of convenience that she didn't want to carry one device in the right hand and one in the left. the reality is madam secretary, you can have several e-mail accounts on your one device. >> that's my point.
7:38 pm
the stuff she said today to me was so preposterous. again, i say this with tremendous reluctance. i want to see her win. i would like to continue the policies we have today. >> you would like to see her be president. >> i would, because the alternative to me is horrifying which is a lot of the people i see in the republican party. however, i think she's doing everything she can to jeopardize that. i think she's doing everything she can -- >> your anxiety i think is premature, if i may say. >> believe me my friend, i have heard ted cruz enough to know i'm horrified about some of the stuff i see in the republican party. >> well, look i think that she is going to have to answer more questions. i was just struck by the kind of gap between the questions and the answers on several key issues. one of them being about the server itself. the other is that she said at one point, when you listen to everything that's scripted associated with the vast bulk of the e-mails that she wrote were to federal employees about business therefore those e-mails could be captured.
7:39 pm
the vast bulk, that could be 60% or 70%. what about the other 30% or 40% that she's saying are essentially gone forever? >> very quickly, rubio walker and huckabee are the preferred candidates right now according to the nbc news/"wall street journal" poll. i think that's surprising perhaps to a lot of people. but i want to turn to again a democrat. jim webb he's trying out a candidacy talking about he's got a populist message he's apparently trying. what do you think are his chances? >> none. right now she's got the nomination locked up. that's what's so concerning to me about what i have seen. >> already? really? >> look at the polls. >> webb is a very interesting guy but i don't think he's electable in this party right now which has shifted so far to the left. among the republicans you mentioned, i think that is in keeping with the "wall street journal" poll that found that 60% of voters want change. they want a fresh face. that's what they say right now. we'll see if they feel that way at the end. >> right. or we may have another bush/clinton race.
7:40 pm
the public is so fickle. julie, michael, thanks for being here. new reports that taylor swift is insuring her long legs for $40 million. her team reportedly arguing that swift's $200 million career would suffer significantly if anything happened to her legs. a morbid thought. celebrities are of course known for protecting what they consider career-boosting body parts. julia roberts reportedly insured her smile for $30 million. jennifer lopez is insured for somewhere between $27 million and $1 billion depending on who you listen to about her posterior. and mariah carey reportedly got $1 billion policy on her legs back in 2006. two presidents helped celebrate a civil rights milestone in selma. one of them is ignored. bishop harry jackson on racial politics and selma, next.

7:45 pm
alabama bloody sunday march. and now, the decision by the "new york times" to run a front page image of mr. obama during the march sparking criticism because the newspaper left out president george w. bush and the former first lady laura bush. also marching in the front line. the "new york times" photographer for whatever reason was given the assignment of responding, saying the photo was not cropped, instead, the image was not usable because it included the bushes being overexposed. his words. joining us, bishop harry jackson senior pastor of hope christian church, president of the high impact leadership coalition. it is great to have you here with us. >> thank you lou. >> let me start with the president's comments on selma, saying we are the slaves who built the white house, referring to america's racial past, casting a long shadow, bringing up the ferguson report showing civil rights -- that civil rights marches aren't yet finished.
7:46 pm
sort of an extraordinary interpretation in my opinion of the facts of ferguson but also i think an interesting tone, if i can put it that way, for the president to take in what should have been a celebration of a long march that has come 50 years from the point at which dr. martin luther king and others showed real courage to demonstrate for civil rights. >> well i think you're right, it showed courage. what a celebration, what an event. it proves that non-violence works, what king did. but i think that what you see is a president attempting to get political capital from these remarks. i talked to a lot of people this last weekend who were down in mississippi, an event that i was attending, and they heard this speech, they were excited, so i believe that he was going for a political feel-good moment and that the real issue of
7:47 pm
addressing the work that needs to be done and truly celebrating the past, i think what we have done as a nation should be applauded and celebrated. i think we should be thankful we live in a country where the right to vote is really being honored. my mother and father were in that struggle and they saw the right to vote as absolutely a sacred right. so lou, i wish we would have looked at what king would look at, and that is he would say that educational reform has got to be number one. black kids can't read, hispanic kids can't read, therefore can't get jobs. he would say more jobs in urban centers is important right now and would dedicate himself to it i believe. and i believe in a strange way criminal justice reform, pretrial reform, sentencing, after care, after people come out of prison and even for the victims that we think about proper compensation and
7:48 pm
restitution. these kinds of things can heal the racial divide. they aren't being addressed and i'm concerned that we may sacrifice a moment where real change can happen for a feel-good thing that scratches one's political ego. >> his ego may have been scratched but he didn't dent his abysmal polling on the issue of improving race relations in this country. most americans say he has worsened those relations. he has done so little, so little that is positive. it's stunning then to watch them find his way to the center of that march in selma, that celebration and my goodness, it didn't seem as cheerful as it should to me. >> i would agree with you except we have to recognize he is the seated president of the united states. so he is due certainly
7:49 pm
celebration, honor, all of that good stuff. but i do believe what you're saying is that a concrete plan to dig in on some of these issues dealing with proper policing, coming out of it, and the report about ferguson that's a good talking point and starting point, but we'll have to dig a lot deeper as we already stated. so i believe you are going to see over the rest of the month many events, remember, there were three marches that occurred in the month of march march 7th bloody sunday, 50 people beaten up. there was also march 9th a ceremony and a march where he stopped king stopped in the middle of the bridge and there right after that, many people don't realize a white preacher, white minister was killed during that time and then at the end of the month the final 25th of march is when the speech in montgomery, alabama occurred.
7:50 pm
so we are going to be doing an event there and in montgomery with the reconciled church we are going to be addressing these very issues, economic development, education, criminal justice. >> bishop jackson, it's always good to talk with you. your reaction to president bush and his wife former first lady laura, being excluded i will put it that way, they didn't like the term cropped over at the "new york times," being excluded from that front line photo. it really left part of the story out, didn't it? >> it did. i believe partisan politics at its worst. i saw that one of the lieutenants who was running some of these official meetings funded by the state said on a personal level that she was sickened by the fact that bush wanted to get involved and be right up front. i think that this is what's harming america. we have people that are bringing their partisan political opinions into an arena where we
7:51 pm
should be celebrating history health and a new vision for the nation. so i think we have shame based on the fact that bush was omitted and not honored as well, because he is a president of the united states. >> bishop harry jackson, good to see you. >> good to see you, lou. thanks for having me. >> thank you. up next, a texas holdup. the latest on the lawsuit delaying the president's amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants while the courts decide what power does this president really have. we'll find out.

get more facts at ramtrucks.com a texas federal district court judge leaving his executive amnesty ban in place until a hearing that he has set now for march 19th. at issue, whether the obama administration attorneys misled the court about some 100,000 people who they had given three-year periods of deferred action prior to the judge's injunction. joining us lis weil author of "lethal beauty." also with us mercedes colwin, both fox news legal analysts. good to have you here.
7:56 pm
you just had an operation. >> i did. i would not miss coming here so here i am. i've got my box under my knee. >> excellent. >> great to be here. >> let's start with the judge is going to have a hearing. what will be the disposition? >> the judge is going to uphold his own order. whether this guy is right or wrong, you have to admire his spirit. he came up with this stay and the obama administration said to take that off, he said no. >> they said take it off and give us a decision by march 3rd. >> that's not going to happen. >> you talk about an imperious president. >> that's not going to happen. he's going to rule for himself and for the other 25 states but it's not going to end there. it will go to the circuit court and appellate court. >> he's having a hearing on this case. >> right. >> what will be disposed in that case? >> essentially, what happens with the 100,000 individuals, at least in that state 100,000 individuals that have been deferred the deportation for
7:57 pm
