for general dempsey as well if you cannot might. general dempsey, you were talking about iraq. today, there have been reports that isil forces have been advancing on ramadi. i am wondering if you feel that the money is in danger of falling -- if ramadi is in danger of falling, and the difficulty of the iraqi forces in anbar. martin dempsey: yemen first. i have seen reports to that effect also. what that suggests is that uap provides opportunity in the environment provided by the turmoil in yemen. aqap is a branch of al qaeda that has shown a particular determination to attack us on our homeland, and is therefore of serious concern to us. we continue to watch them and take action against aqap. it is obvious that it is easier to do our counterterrorism operations against aqap when there is a settled government even given. -- government in yemen. there is not that now. for those reasons and others, we will work in that direction. in the meantime, we need to and do, through other means protects ourselves against aqap, because they are dangerous. there are things we can do to act ag

>> well i think that's -- it was unfortunate the way general dempsey put that. you know john mccain feels very strongly about this. and i know him well and i'm surprised he was as -- restrained as he was, if you can believe that. but i think what general dmpsy y dempsey was trying to say, there are two different situations. baiji is strategically. we've been successful with isis cutting off the money. one way beav done that cut off access to oil using to sell to fwhans they're up to. if they capture that refinery it would be a huge influx of money for them. strategically it is very important and i don't think we should get into saying which starting more important than the other, but there's no question that baiji is a very important place, and that's got to be done. but the same thing, ramadi is right out there in the middle of anbar province not that far from baghdad, as john mccain said it was a place where there's a lot of fighting during the surge and the iraq war, and it would be a blow if -- if isis was able to take over that community, but this gets to t

dempsey spoke at his first press conference. you heard arwa in iraq give a very different readout of the situation on the ground right? she said they have made significant gains in al anbar province, she is talking about isis how important ramadi is a very different message than we are getting today from the defense department and the president. >> no question jeep dempsey secretary carter said today is that the trend line is positive. they will cite successes like taking back tikrit say they are making a big effort in concentrating forces to preserve the baiji oil field, which is critical, where ramadi is not. it is difficult to gloss over the loss of the largest city in the anbar province ramadi, and particularly in impression and to echo arwa's point of a shiite-dominated iraqi government and shiite-dominated iraqi military not being willing to shed shiite blood to protect a sunni city here as you see those tens of thousands of people fleeing. that's real problem. secretary carter himself said today that this government has t

general keane, your reaction to general dempsey. >> i'm a little stunned by it.'t welcome the opportunity to have to disagree with the chairman of the joint chiefs on public it's, but he's just flat wrong here. symbolically ramadi matters. it's the capital of the largest province in iraq. it's the major sunni province in iraq, and we cannot reclaim iraq or have a stable iraq politically without sunni participation. to suggest that we can lose their capital makes no sense. it's also where the sunni awakening, which began to defeat the al-qaeda in conjunction with the bush surge of forces, it is very symbolic for that reason. strategically look at that map you had up there, can you bring that thing back up again? jenna: absolutely. we'll do that right now. >> when you see that map and ramadi's proximity to baghdad, when you drive outside the city of baghdad to the west, you are immediately in anbar province. ramadi is 70 miles from baghdad. that whole province is the western buffer security buffer to protect baghdad. is so strategically it's very important. further

what i found amazing was that martin dempsey said that ramadi doesn't make a difference. and john mccain comes out and says something that was stunning. he says that martin dempsey, one of the reasons that we're in the situation we are today about the situation and he's done great deal damage. >> this is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. saying ramadi is not important, just killing isis. it's embarrassing that a uniformed officer would say that. the chairman is a political animal anyways, but this is beyond the pail. we're in trouble with this, with the way we're running this campaign. and the joint chiefs of staff can't be in this kind of denial. and a senator with the record of john mckaib e cain can't be saying this kind of thing. >> he would be in favor of someone who was in the chairman of the joint chiefs. >> is he more a politician? or more a, you know, a military guy? >> the majority of chairmans are more politicians than soldiers. and you're referring to benghazi which got him in still a lot of hot water. >> so let's move. we've got iraq. syria. afghanis

navy seal mark lee the first sale seem to fall -- seal to fall in ramadi iraq, she was upset that dempsey seemed to trivialize the fall of ramadi to the islamic state. >> i am disgusted, i am appalled. and i am a pretty even keel person. but there were tears that were coming down my cheeks, i felt like someone sucker punched me in the gut my son sacrifice does matter. lou: today we're happy to report that lee did receive a letter of an apology from the general, and phone call from chairman dempsey, she accepts that apology. >> we've seen a turn around to get an apology, that is part of what we were hoping to do here was to raise awareness. when our generals speak when anyone that is representing our military speaks out they need to make sure that their words are honoring the sacrifices that are made over there. lou: we're coming right back. stay with us. >> coming up next, president obama demanding our court system support his amnesty fiat. one of the few in congress fighting the president's fiat is house judiciary committee bob goodlot he is joining us. >> and america's food is up ploy a

host: linda dempsey is our guest, talking about trade issues.he first call for you is from james in kentucky, democrat line. go ahead. caller: yes hello? host: you are on. go ahead. caller: i have a question about terrorists -- tariffs for the u.s.. american workers have to compete against lower wage workers in china and so forth, and american factors -- factories have to comply with higher standards. why can't we raise our tariffs on what is coming in? that would help keep our workers pay up. guest: the u.s. actually did that back in 1930, where we raised tariffs on all our goods before we had a lot of these international agreement out there. and the result was to deepen the great depression, make it harder for consumers to buy the products because prices just went up in the u.s. and it really did not add jobs to the economy. franklin delano roosevelt in 1934 started what was called the reciprocal tariff program where the u.s. negotiated with other countries, saying if you lower your tariffs, we will lower hours. and that started a several deca

commander chief of staff chairman martin dempsey was quoted that i rather ramadi not fall but it is not the end of the campaign should it fall to isis. that is a surprise to iraqis. it is so close to baghdad. the fall of the city like this after some nine months of u.s.-led air strikes would be a moral setback for the iraqi government and it has displaced according to iraqi government officials 150,000 civilians forced to flee and having to take a roundabout route traveling over a importantly protected pontoon bridge over the euphrates river to escape. it gives you a sense that isis despite some setbacks is able to carry out offensives just an hour's drive west. >> ivan watson, thank you. >>> crisis in yemen. on thursday al qaeda fighters overran an airport and oil export terminal in yemen after seizing the city of alqa. in washington the officials tell the l.a. times they are concerned about the air campaign which caused hundreds of civilian casualties. now the u.n. worried about a humanitarian crisis. asking for a cease-fire by all sides. let's bring in nima elbagir. let's talk about

and rick dempsey, of course, is the pry or of dempseys it has been replicated in many stadiums acrossurse of the past couple of decades. >> a beautiful warehouse, originally a storage warehouse for the railroad. kasie, thank you so much. any minute from now baltimore police will hold a press conference to update you and all of us about the situation in the city. of course this is the new day that dawned after we had the first citywide curfew and went into effect last night at 10:00 p.m., it was lifted at 5:00. and goes back into effect tonight at 10:00 and it may be instituted for a week. we'll bring you the update as soon as it happens. as we await the news conference we want to check with joy reid she joins me on the streets here in west baltimore. you've been talking to residents, what are they saying after day one of the curfew that we saw last night? >> reporter: yeah thomas thank you, a lot of people in the community still very much on one subject and that is what happened to freddie gray not a lot of talk about the curfew but a lot of talk about the mistrust for the baltimore p

. >> republicans are also furious that chairman martin dempsey suggested that it did not matter much that isis has advanced on the city of or mahdi. >> it's not symbolic and anyway. >> a frequent critic said that it was stunning and this is the place where in 2006 u.s. forces battle to take the city back as part of the awakening. >> now this general says that it really doesn't matter. and i wonder what he would say to the families of marines and soldiers and brave americans that were killed and wounded in the battle. >> the president spoke by phone today with the king of saudi arabia about yemen where of course iran rebels have seized power. ashley: also in iraq today government forces say they believe that they have killed the last member of saddam hussein's inner circle who had have been working alongside the islamic state. the former deputy to the iraqi leader known as the king of clubs on the u.s. military most wanted iraqi regime fugitives. joining me now robert jordan thank you for joining us tonight, ambassador. before we get into the question, let's talk about what is going o

now, this is not general dempsey's decision.is iraqi prime minister al-abadi month is really an iranian stooge. he's as bad pass maliki. when we pulled out of there we made iraq an iranian proxy and that's not good. gregg: would any of this happened if president obama had not pulled out american forces prematurely and without a status of forces agreement? >> this would not have happened. everybody will agree including vice president biden when we left everything was in good shape. the terrorism was down. we defeated al qaeda. we had the provinces stabilized. we walk from success and gave isis and al qaeda victory there. so -- but that's history. now we have got to do the right things and i believe we have got to help the sunnis and kurd in that region and we have start telling prime minister al-abadi if he wants our help and support he has to do doing the right things an hasn't done that. gregg: army more recall is at an all -- army more real morale is as an all-time low. >> it's not just the army. it's all sniefty and marines.

i said, ok, general dempsey, but perhaps that timeframe is unrealistic. you tell me about. -- you tell me event. -- you told me event. -- you tell me then. in what time frame can we destroy isis and what would be required to do so? his answer was, there is no military solution to this problem. the answer is to change the underlying conditions on the ground so people are not susceptible to being radicalized through poverty. with all respect, there is a word for that, and i will clean it up for c-span and say it is nonsense. [applause] senator cruz: the way to defeat isis is not expanded medicaid through iraq. you to defeat isis -- the way to defeat isis is a simple and clear military objective that the soldiers waging war on america, we will destroy them. [applause] senator cruz: and i will make one final point in terms of what we need to

blasting general dempsey for disregarding ramadi's strategic importance calling it an insult to thoseed in iraq battles al qaeda there and a gross mischaracterization of the situation on the ground down. general dempsey, senator mccain said, is in denial. >>> iran is marking its national army day by flexing its military might for the world to see. kicking off feastiveties. showcases military ware made in iran including anti-aircraft n guns and a wheeled tanks. >>> and xenophobia continues to grip the country. some south africans accuse african immigrants of taking their jobs and committing crimes and now six people are dead because of that violence. we were on the ground in johannesburg as attacks unfolded there. [ chanting ] >> reporter: prepped for battle, these zulu men make fierce enemies. and the police aren't taking chances. police have been firing rubber bullets. there is a crowd, south african zulus here. gathering there burning the shops. and there areer over that way. they have control in respect a crowd of anxious nigerians argue with police. desperate to recover their cars

for both -- first general dempsey, i wanted to ask about yemen and saudi arabia.nancially by iran, but the saudis seem to take it further and say that the houthis are not only supported by iran but are controlled by iran. sort of like hezbollah in lebanon. do you agree with that that the houthis are proxy or a tool of iranian power? and also -- so far the houthis and al qaeda both seem to be gaining territory during the saudi air strikes. do the saudis have anyone on the ground on their side in yemen to fight as their proxy? and for secretary carter, post tikrit what role do you expect the shia militias to play in iraq in the u.s.-supported iraqi offensive? thank you. >> so to the question about the degree of control that iran exerts over the houthis, if you look at the history of the relationship they have not exerted control in the same way they exerted control over lebanese hezbollah, for example. they are a source of resources for the houthis. and the houthi leader himself, abdel maliki considers himself to be one of the heirs of the prophet and the sect of sh
