being part of the real story. we've got to get that control room cam back up. apparently i'm hearing that all the producers and director and every wubls working up there is napping right now. good thing i'm gretchen carlson and we're going over to shep. >> iraq's new leader asking the exhaust for help beating the islamic state terrorists. of course we already gave iraq troops, tons of training and weapons which they immediately dropped when isis confronted them the last time. think this will go differently? in oklahoma a reserve sheriff's deputy turns him self-in after he says he confused his taser with a handgun and, oops killed a suspect. but the deputy is not a deputy, he's a 73 year old insurance executive who helped the sheriff get reelected. now he's facing manslaughter charges. but why was he even involved in an undercover sting? today the new accusations that he bought his way on to the force. also wait until you hear why

a couple of tsa screeners just got fired. let's get to it. first from the fox news desk this afternoon president obama is offering for taxpayer dollars to iraq as it battles the islamic state. the iraqi prime minister made his first visited to white house his his election victory. he says the united states and the allies has helped his country make gains against the islamic state militants with weapons and support and training, but the new prime minister says iraq needs more firepower to finish off isis. the routers news agency has reported he plans to ask president obama for $5 billion in drones and other american weapons. of course this comes after the iraqi army largely melted away and left u.s. weapons behind for isis to use against them during the group's deadly offensive last summer. the terrorist army still controls large portions of both iraq and syria.

leah gabriel on the news deck with more. how is the president helping? >> shep in his comments to reporteders he didn't mention anything about additional specific military assistant, only rather speaking in generalities about coordination between the two can you please trees. he did pledge an additional $200 million in humanitarian aid. as of right now there are more than 3,000 u.s. troops in iraq about 800 of those are there protecting u.s. interests and the others are supporting iraqi forces. today the president stressed iraq is in charge of its own destiny. >> it is very important for us to coordinate our activities so that the impression is not that the united states is somehow moving back into iraq but rather that the united states is doing what's ultimately best for the iraqi people even as we join in fighting a common enemy. >> as of iran's involvement in backing militias fighting isis in iraq he said that he expects

the two neighbors to have an important relationship but that all foreign assistance including iran should be coordinated through the iraqi government. >> one administration official says that this fight against isis is in some ways unpress tented. >> he was speaking to an -- in a cnn video that have produced on the web after coming back from a summit in jordan with coalition forces. take a listen to what he had to say. >> this is a problem that is off the charts historically. the over 20,000 foreign fighters in syria just to put that into perspective it's about twice the number that went into afghanistan in the 1980s over a ten-year period to fight the soviet union and those came from really a handful of countries. we're this unchartered territory here. >> he also said that those foreign fighters are learning that the reality is that they are very likely to die in iraq and syria when the there. federal agents who had sex parties with hookers and let drug cartels foot the bill

cannot be fired by their boss. that's the claim from the head of the drug enforcement administration today during a heated hearing in congress. she was trying to explain to lawmakers why knows agents still have their jobs, the only punishment handed out two to ten days of unpaid leave which one congressman calls a vacation. a justice department investigation exposed the scandal last month and we reported on it here, that investigation found that drug cartels in columbia paid for dea agents stationed there to party with prostitutes not one but over and over and over again going back a decade. the dea administrator says that the current rules will not allow her to fire any of these agents. something lawmakers say they don't buy. >> you can sit here and cry a pretty picture about how deplorable it is but your actions suggest otherwise because there was not the consequence that should have happened. this person is imposing a national security risk, engages

in the behavior that is just -- it's embarrassing that we have to talk about this. >> unlike many of these congressional hearings in this case lawmakers from both political parties seem to be in agreement on this. really we shouldn't let the drug cartels pay for the hookers for the dea agents and they let the dea chief have it. one accusing the agency -- the head of that agency of protecting the agents by not releasing their names. >> as far as protecting them, i take great offense to that. >> you do? you do? you take offense that someone who runs a 15 it to 20 prostitution parties abusing -- abusing women gets a three-day two-day, one-day, you're offended by that? >> i'm swended by their conduct. i'm offended -- >> i don't see it, though. >> by the behavior. i am trying to fix the system. >> despite the shock of the accusations lawmakers seem just as fired up that the agents were able to keep their jobs.

over and over the lawmakers returned to the dea chief's claim that under the current system she can't fire them. >> what power do you have? you have to work with agents over whom you can't discipline and have no control and you have no control over the security clearance. what the hell do you get to do? >> what i can do is build on and improve mechanisms to make sure that the outcome is what we believe the outcome should be. >> improve mechanisms to make sure that accepting prostitutes from drug cartels is now and suddenly all of a sudden a fireable offense. with us now is a reporter for the magazine national review, gillian mel cher she has covered many of these over sight committee hearings and was maybe as astounded as the congress people? >> i think it's shocking. having prostitutes paid for by drug cartels when you're on the job in columbia isn't a fireable offense i think it's hard to

fathom what would be. >> at the beginning of the story when we first started covering it last year -- last month i mean, i thought this was a one off. >> no it appears that this happened several times over the course of many years and yet the dea is saying the best we can do we're going to treat this as management offense and you might get two weeks' suspension or might get nothing and you get to keep your job despite this. >> does the reporting indicate that higher ups knew this was happening? >> yeah. in fact, they dealt with it as a management issue at the start. >> what does that mean? >> it's crazy. one of the inspectors who was within the dea asking questions about it said i asked this guy and he looked me in the eyes and he said no. so if he said no the answer is no and that's -- anything else is above my pay grade. well, that's an entirely new approach i think to investigating government scandals. >> somebody said to me well, prostitution is legal in columbia. >> yeah. >> right? >> yeah. >> and hiring the services of an

inuteta is legal but there are many drugs that might be legal in other parts of the world. are they allowed, for instance to do drugs in amsterdam or colorado. >> i think you saw dea agents taking this exact same tactic. maybe that would be the case if they were under cover but the columbian press has been all over this and they think that the dea agents actually knew that the cartel was involved and that opens up suspicions of corruption bribery owe ergs all sorts of problems within the agency and we've got to look on top of it. this is a government-funded houses. so you've got laptops blackberrys and that's opening up new concerns about security as well. >> with these laptops and stuff paid prostitutes nchts why he. >> funded by the cartels? >> the cartels, yes. at least we saved the taxpayer. >> and they got those nice unpaid vacations which is really kind of nice this time of year. >> yeah. >> nice to see you. >> thank you. >> an airport screener rigged a computer system so one of her coworkers could fondel men whom he found attractive.

it's a true thing. or at least it's the accusation from the transportation security administration, the tsa. a spokesman confirmed the tsa fired both agents in this tick instance, apparently this is a fireable offense happened in denver. the local station there kcnc the cbs station reported that the female agent would set the scannerer to a women's setting to it would flagmen's krochs for pat downs. one of the agents reportedly confessed to her boss that it had happened at least ten times. some breaking news now you may find this interesting. the white house announced seconds ago that president obama will indeed remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. this comes but days after the historic meeting between president obama and the cuban president rool cass stroe that happened over the weekend at a summit in panama. this has been a sticking point for the easing of relations

between our two countries. cuba has reportedly demanded that the united states take it off the list of terror sponsoring states before relations between the two nations could be fully restored. cuba has been on the list for really more than the last three decades, something the country shared with iran, syria sudan but now cuba is no more. cuba is off the list of state sponsors of terrorism. more details on this throughout the afternoon. washington is set to collect than average of $10,000 in taxes from every single american and spend even more obviously, but where exactly is all that money going and what are we getting for it? take a look at what your tax dollars are going for coming up from the fox news deck on this tuesday afternoon. ♪ ♪ ♪ (under loud music) this is the place. ♪ ♪ ♪ their beard salve is made from ♪ ♪ ♪ sustainable tea tree oil and kale... you, my friend, recognize when a trend has reached critical mass. yes, when others focus on one thing you see what's coming next. you see opportunity.

upkagt our breaking news. minutes ago from the white house that it will remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terror. this really is a critical move to easing relations between the stwas and cuba. steve harrigan has the latest from our south florida newsroom from which we cover the caribbean. steve, is this to say that it has now been determined that cuba no longer sponsors terrorism? >> reporter: that's what this would mean, shepherd. it really is one of the key road blocks that has prevented normalization of relations between cuba and the u.s. removing this really paves the way for something we could see in a very short time, that's the reestablishment of embassies in

washington and in havana after a 50-year gap. this is something that's been projected to happen especially after the recent meeting in panama between raul castro and president obama and things are moving very, very quickly after 50 years of a real stalemate we're seeing one of the final stumbling blocks between cuba and the u.s. removed. this state sponsor of terrorism was actually put into effect cuba was named a state sponsor in 1982. they've med ld all around the world over the past 50 years. this was as a result of what was going on in columbia. they were accused of supporting the farq terrorists in columbia. that's where they picked up the state sponsorship of terrorism. it's been a point of embarrassment for cuba and now it looks like it's going to be removed as we rapidly see a change in evolution in relations between these two nations shepherd. >> you mentioned the farq accusations back in the day and how upset the cubans were about that. since that i can't find an

instance where the united states as a government, as an entity accuses the cuban government of sponsoring terrorism. after that it seems like that was the last of the accusations. was it? >> reporter: that's correct but people here have a long memories especially in south florida, going back to cuban he is can a pads in africa and around the world and of course bringing the world perhaps to the brink of nuclear war with the cuban missile crisis now the same figures are still in power in cuba and really a lot of history is being washed away very quickly, especially for some of the older cuban americans here in florida and some current politicians as well who see things moving very rapidly between the u.s. and cuba. we could see within the next few weeks if negotiations go on between the state department and cuban diplomats the establishment of embassies and really free and open travel and increased business relations between the two nations where there was a road block for the past 50 years. >> we're seeing a change in

foreign policy, steve, we're leaning more on dialogue to try to solve problems. we see it in our relations with iran and some other states. now we're seeing it in cuba. it's no secret that cuban -- the cuban american national foundation and others have been vechd opposed to any conversation with any cuban leadership. is that the case there in south florida still with the second is generation, the people who are the children of the marial boat lift, are they still as hard line? sthr you're putting your finger on the key demographic when it comes to cuban americans and it's a generational one. it's by and large the older generation who is opposed to any sort of reconciliation with the castro regime but the younger people don't see those same problems, they don't have that memory or history growing up here. so a lot more openness to travel and relations with raul castro, with fidel castro than in that

older generation. >> i remember working down there at the fox station down there and one of the pro mows was when it all comes crashing down on cuba the big news will be on 7 news. when anything happened in cuba that was noteworthy you would go town to staff faye versailles and everybody would be out screaming and yelling. is it your estimation that this is going to cause a big uproar or do they so the tide turning and maybe they're trying to make an impact in some other way? >> reporter: i think there is a sense that after 50 years of a policy that many here perceived not to be working that people do see things coming to a change but we can't take away just how emotional this issue is for many people. the closeness, 90 miles apart and yet the policy between the u.s. and cuba has so bitterly and painfully divided families where you have people unable to see their relatives, unable to help their relatives in poverty

so it's been a real painful episode. this isn't just politics, this is seeing family members stuck, family members suffering. that's why it does get very emotional here whenever there's a move towards cuba by the united states and we've been seeing a lot of moves and a lot of speed on an issue where really there hasn't been any movement in five tech aids, shepherd. >> you're right about that. again, the word is that the exhaust says that president obama has notified the united states congress of his intent to remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. it's possible we may hear from the white house on this matter and some on capitol hill as well. i'm confident we will hear from others in south florida from the cuban dis dent population who will have a lot to say about this and we will bring you that with brett bare. we are following the newest two presidential candidates the former secretary of state hillary clinton and the

former -- i should say the republican senator marco rubio. marco rubio with a lot to say about cuban relations. and to iowa where hillary clinton is holding her first political event. what exactly is her land for america? when will she told news conferences and let everyone speak to her? we'll see about that as shepard smith reporting rolls on this afternoon.

presidential candidate hillary clinton kicking off her first official campaign event in iowa. the state holding the first 2016 presidential contest. she's in a small town of monticello today outside cedar hands, she visited a community college there, met with students and teachers, may have seen some of that in the last hour and told them she wants to fight income inequality. >> i think it's fair to say that as you look across the country the deck is still stacked in

favor of those already at the top and there's something wrong with that. >> this event comes after a two-day road trip spanning roughly a thousand miles in a van she named scooby. of course, the name comes from the scooby-doo cartoon and the van there and the gang driving around in a van. secretary clinton met with community leaders in a coffee shop earlier today. it's all part of her low key approach to campaigning this time around. she's asking supporters to chip in what they can, a far cry interest the glitzy fundraisers she felled lack in '0 #. just a day after hillary clinton announced her candidacy marco rubio says he's in the running as well. carl cameron down in miami on ruby. first ed henry outside that community college in iowa. hillary clinton same king abdullah i'm in third in the iowa kau casss back in '08. do we know how it's going at

this moment? >> reporter: i suppose the mystery is can she win this time and sell this message. her efforts didn't just fail some seven years ago here in eye warnings but last year she rolled out that book tour she also talked about being a champion of the middle class and when she said she was dead broke when she left the white house as the first lady it backfired. people pointed out you're making a lot of money with speeches and books. she's trying to recalibrate. what it was all about also was maybe going back to her first senate campaign when she was on a listening tour rather than dictating what her message would be. lynn to how she put it a moment ago. >> i'm running for president because i think that americans and their families need a champion and i want to be that champion. i want to stand up and fight for people so that they cannot just get by, but they can get ahead and they can state ahead. >> reporter: she went on to say she wants to put the country back on the right track. interesting, that might not be

that well received back at 1600 pennsylvania avenue in the administration she used to work for, shep. >> how is this message being received there on the ground? >> reporter: well what's interesting is you've got pundits already key clarg it's working, it's not working. we talked to some of the students who were going to be meeting with secretary clinton and they gave us some interesting answers. >> i know she was in the senate or something. i don't really know much about her honestly. so -- but she must be pretty big. everyone is coming out here for it. >> i am really looking forward to supporting her. i think it's awesome. i think she's brave to be a woman that's going in the field. that's really hard. i mean i have some questions, i'm sure everyone does. >> reporter: so there you go. you have at the end a student saying i mostly like her but i want to hear more from her. we're still 18, 19 months away until people start voting. there's going to be a lot of people saying this is a success, the rollout is a failure. there's a lot way to go.

>> now to senator marco rubio, he announced his campaign at a rally in miami yesterday saying the country needs a leader who is not, quote stuck in the 20th century. team fox korch conditions carl cameron live in miami. what's senator rubio doing today, carl? >> reporter: he's back to work in the u.s. senate. he went back to washington, d.c. to do the work for his current job, one that he's not going to seek re'election for as he goes for the white house. he's at the foreign relations committee where they are today discussing ways in which congress might take a look at and perhaps reject if that's legally and constitutionally possible any agreement that might come with iran and it's nuclear weapons and energy programs. mr. rubio like three other senators has a much of a luxury when it comes to keeping the day job there are four senators all republicans, running for president and there you see them rubio the third ted cruz was the first one in rand paul was the second one in linsey graham is not in yet but he's

been campaigning pretty aggressively and there's something of an advantage for the lawmakers though they're often criticized as motion hoax folks who don't make executive decisions as governors. governors have work to do and in some states it done get done until the end of may or june. there are five of those governors and all are tethered to their states and they are not expected to make any announcement until they get their budgets done. >> who else is on the campaign trail today? >>. >> reporter: chris christie is on the campaign trial in new hampshire and making news. to show how honest and to show his commitment to telling folks the truth he grabbed the third rail of entitlement reform today. he is talking about raising the eligibility ages and perhaps trimming some of the benefits for the elderly. watch this. >> do we really believe that the wealthiest americans need to take from younger hard working americans to receive what for most of them is a modest monthly

social security check? i say no and i propose a modest means test that only affects those with non social security income of over $80,000 a year and phases out social security payments entirely for those that have $200,000 a year in retirement income. >> reporter: they call entitlement reform the third rail when you grab it you get politically electro could you telled. jeb bush is in ohio where he's talking to the chamber of commerce. mr. bush has been doing this with a lot of chambers around the country. not yet officially announced. today he's doing it in the buckeye state which is always the pivotal swing state so on known for turning the elections on the general although he is right now running against republicans not democrats yet. >> carl cameron in miami. a troubling report on a volunteer their rift's deputy who shot and killed a suspect. the reserve deputy who is a

night and the rebels say one of their fighters tied as well. the israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he told president putin directly he's making the wrong decision by selling anti-aircraft missiles to iran. prime minister netanyahu says he told president putin that this move would increase iran's aggression in the region and undermine security in the middle east. u.s. and other western officials say they reached a framework for a nuclear deal with iran earlier this month. some israel leaders are calling it a bad deal. the elderly volunteer sheriff's departmenty who has turned himself in after prosecutors charged him with manslaughter. because he shot and killed a police suspect in oklahoma. the deputy says it was all a mistake, that he grabbed his gun instead of his taser by accident. cops say it happened during an undercover operation to bust the suspect for selling illegal weapons. >> do you have another one or is

that it? >> that's it. >> sweet. a nice gun. that's the suspect. you can see him pass off a gun and then moments later cops pull up in a car and he makes a run for it. >> he's running. >> police chase after him and eventually you can hear the gunfire. >> roll on your stomach now. >> i shot him. i'm sorry. >> did you hear that? i shot him. i'm sorry. the suspect screaming that he has been shot and when he says he's losing his breath somebody responds f your breath.

the deputy is a 73 year old millionaire insurance executive, not really a deputy at all. the daily beast, among others, reports that the sheriff let him volunteer because he's rich and, quote, a sugar daddy of sorts to the sheriff's department. according to the website this deputy who is really an insurance guy, gave the sheriff himself campaign donations, took him on cruises to the bahamas and mexico and the question now is was he a sort of pay for play cop? evangeline gomez is a defense attorney. the var rift's department claims that he has had all kinds of reserve deputy training and this is all on the up and up. >> exactly. that's the argument. >> 300 hours or something. >> exactly. but the issue here is that you're going to be hear being argued is this is the perfect case of negligence where you say i was going to grab high taser and i grabbed my gun instead. so he admits that he said i'm sorry, on the video. these are the arguments you're going to hear, shep.

>> you can leave age out of this because that's probably the better way to approach it in a legal standpoint at least at the beginning. you've got a guy here who is 73 he was actually on the sheriff's department the year been i was born. >> 1960. >> 1963. 1963 for one year he was there. though, 50 years later he gives all this money and all these gifts and they let him wander around and play cop is what it sounds like. >> exactly. but his defense is going to be look, i'm friends with the sheriff, i'm friends with these people, i got their cruises because they are my friends and this is what friends do. do you have friends who give you cars and cruises? i don't. >> i do understand supporting law enforcement if you are of means and you want to help out the cops, if they need things they can't get from the government, try to help them get them sure, but is it a quid pro quo? do you give and then in exchange they give you toys like they give you a taser that belongs on this side if you're right-handed

and a gun that belongs on this side so you can reach for your gun so you know the difference. the quote there on audio, oh, i'm sorry, i shot him. >> exactly. and so what you're going to see this this this situation they're going to do an investigation of the sheriff's department definitely if that's not underway as we speak. they're going to look at what are the qualifications to become a reserve deputy? is there an age qualification? are there physical requirements that perhaps he didn't meet? this is going to be really important if the victim's family should sue the county and city there is the issue of southern immunity. what will happen is the family can assert look he wasn't of the right age, he didn't have the physical requirements. in fact, he didn't meet any of the qualifications or he didn't meet all the qualifications and you have this situation where he is paying money he made a donation, political contribution, he's donating surveillance equipment to the police department he's taking them on cruises he's taking them -- he's buying them cars.

this is going to become an issue. if he was able to bypass the qualifications because of the gifts he was giving. >> civil suits are coming for sure. >> civil suits but a lot more. >> yeah. >> could definitely happen in this case. >> we'll watch t thank you. >> you're welcome. the count down is on for spacex's second try in as many days to launch suppl international space station. i will show you how they're doing this. this is, i don't know, this is the thing that they will use. unmanned rocket set to blas off 4:00 -- 4:10 p.m. local time if the weather cooperates. forecasters have put the odds at about 60%. if it goes off as planned the dragon spacecraft will send more than 4,000 pounds of supplies to the international space station. that also includes an espresso machine for an italian astronaut who has had to drink american instant coffee for months. feel your pain. somehow it works in zero gravity which is an accomplishment unto itself. after the launch scientists say

they hope to land part of the rocket on a platform off the coast of florida. like land it on a platform so they can reuse it later. that's the key to this whole project. they've tried it twice, they've failed both times, they're very hopeful this time around. phil keating is on the space coast for you. it would be a game changer if they can pull this off. >> reporter: if they pull this off today this will be one of the coolest things to happen today. it will be space history. but ceo spacex elon musk giving only a 50/50 chance of success today that being his intended revolutionary rocket landing on that floating landing platform 200 miles out in the athletic. in january it came down hard slamming into the landing deck of that floating drone ship 200 miles east of jacksonville. since then they've tweaked the landing on that first stage rocket and this is what they intend to do, this is a previous test done over land.

now, after the first stage rocket breaks away from the dragon cargo ship and it continues on to the space station, that's when the falcon 9 will plummet 150 miles back to earth, use its thrusters and fins to make an upright controlled slow landing. the point here is reuse ability, treat rockets like we could do passenger planes instead of throwing around $250 million into the ocean floor every single time. compounding the complexity this rocket aims to land on this football size landing ship floating with stabilizers that are typically used for offshore drilling rigs. they can handle waves up to 13 feet in height. 200 miles east of here. think about this, this rocket landing -- it's like landing on a dot in the middle of the ocean. going back live to launch complex 40 at the cape canaveral, this is the dragon cap actual, 4:10 eastern time is the plan. as for the weather you see all the blue skies around, hardly
