level of the iraqi forces in all of this, bob baer, cnn intelligence and security analyst, and kimberly dozierbal affairs analyst. kimberly, let me begin with you. you have got u.s. military sources telling you about the significance of this latest development. as we look back, ramadi falls to isis seven months ago because the iraqi forces literally run away, now they are within days, they say, of taking it back. what are you hearing? >> they are seeing ramadi as a test case for how they can later take fallujah and mosul and eventually drive isis out of iraq, because this is the first time the iraqi government has consciously kept some of its shiite militias out of this fight. they've accomplished this, taking most of the city with coalition air strikes backing them, and with iraqi mostly sunni forces on the ground. the next step will be once they drive isis out, you can see from those pictures there's not going to be a lot of infrastructure left behind. how quickly can they return services and how quickly can they make it a safe and welcoming place for the sunni families that have been driven

kimberly dozier, general mark hertling, stay with me. much more later in the hour. >>> i want to get to politics, though, bernie sanders facing a long climb to catch up to the front-runner hillary clinton. here's the latest cnn poll, clinton is 14 percentage points ahead of sanders among democrats asked to name their choice at this point for the 2016 nominee. clinton 50%, sanders 34%, o'malley at 3%. simone sanders back with me here to talk about their plans and much more. appreciate you coming on the program again, thank you. >> thank you for having me, poppy, i'm glad to be here. >> all right. let's talk about the fact you look at a bernie sanders and for his supporters he represents the heart and the soul of the left, but he loses to hillary clinton by every measure in this cnn/orc poll, including those democratic voters who they trust to handle the economy. let's put everything else aside, simone, for a moment. this is what he launched his campaign on, the economy, the economy, the economy, income inequality, and fairness. what are y

let's talk more about this cnn global affairs analyst kimberly dozier.e've heard iraqi forces say they've taken a town. but then all of a sudden, a couple of weeks, a couple of months pass, and then those victories are exaggerated. can we trust what the iraqi military is saying? and their assessment that isis has been driven out? or have they just created a different problem in a different city? >> well, they've had a few false starts over the past 48 hours declaring the town taken and saying okay there are still a few pockets. they have caveated their announcement say they go have the government center, there are pockets of resistance that the army will now have to clear out throughout the rest of this really densely packed town. they also have to figure out how to declare a neighborhood safe enough to bring sunni families back. a lot of them have fled. and they destroyed much of the town in the taking of it. they took out a lot of the bridges. and those air strikes were devastating, when you look at the video from street to street. you know, it took th

kimberly dozier, bob baer, thank you so much. >>> up next, jeb bush goes toe-to-toe with donald trumpand uses some of trump's vocabulary. >> just one other thing. donald trump is a jerk. >> could bush back out of his pledge to support trump if trump becomes the nominee? automated voice: to file a claim, please state your name. carnie wilson. thank you. can you hold on? ♪ hold on for one more day really? hey, i know there's pain. why do you lock yourself up in these chains? ♪ this would be so easy if you had progressive. our mobile app would let you file a claim and help you find one of our service centers where we manage the entire repair process. things will go your way if you hold on.

kimberly dozier says that a new report on isis commissioned by the white house says that the islamic state is going to spread worldwide and grow in numbers be unless it suffers a significant loss of territory on the battlefield in iraq and syria. and so, kimberly, what is this saying about what the president is saying publicly? >> this is an intelligence report commissioned by the white house, and they have asked the director of intelligence to look at all of the intelligence agencies' reports to come up with something short to serve as a report card on the coalition efforts against isis. this is asked for before the paris attacks, and delivered after the president made that comment saying isis had been contained. i think that it served as a rude wakeup call for the white house. afterwards the president asked his top pentagon chiefs ash carter and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff to come up with new options to fight isis, and that is when you also saw ash carter announce that sending that special operations team into iraq to conduct raids inside of syria. >> given what has h

in the midst of it, laurie segal and kimberly dozier. thank you, ladies, for being here.rie, increasingly, big tech is using encrypted data. doesn't matter how high you go up in the government, the president asks for it, he can't get it. terrorists are taking advantage tch. where do people fall on this? you need it to protect the privacy, at the same time, it seems like it's risking some thingings. >> it's funny, we have this debate any time there's an attack like in paris, there's the encryption act. we've seen encryption acts have gone mainstream. it can do good things, it can do bad. it keeps our bank accounts safe. but over the last couple years, because encryption has gone mainstream and me and you can use it easily, it's increasingly easy for terrorists to use. we're now at this really pivotal point where you have lawmakers saying to the tech companies, we need access, some kind of backdoor access. the tech companies saying that's not possible. because if you give the good guys access, then you also give the bad guys access. that's where we stand at this moment. any

want to bring in our justice reporter evan perez, kimberly dozier, a daily beast contributor. evan, first to you, this affidavit, the details of the attacks planned years ago but not carried out, really chilling. >> it really is. the fact they went right up to the edge of carrying in out and then apparently backed away and decided not to do it because they got spooked by an unrelated case. if you look at what the fbi describes here, they planned one attack, to attack the riverside community college where both of these guys were students. they were going to go to the library or kaf te cafeteria det pipe bombs and carry out a shooting to maximize causalities. the second attack would be to attack a state highway at rush hour, afternoon rush shower. they would make sure they pick a section where there were no sections so when farook would attack it by pipe bombs to disable cars and walk along the highway shooting at people while marquez would be on a hillside shooting at first responders, law enforcement, people trying to rescue people. it's remarkable the amount of detail in this
