now let's step into the kriez with van jones and s.e. cupp. >> whether it likes it or not, president obama will have to order additional military action in iraq. >> there's only one problem. that's exactly what the terrorists want him to do. the debate starts right now. >> tonight on kros fire, can president obama stop the chaos in iraq, even if it means taking the same side as iran? on the left, van jones within on the right s.e. cupp. in the crossfire, victor sink who supports the president. who broke iraq? what should we do to fix it tonight on "crossfire." >>> welcome to cross fire i'm van jones on the veleft. >> i'm s.e. cupp on the right. let's go inside iraq. >> reporter: launching air strikes on kilo occasions, claim to have killed 200 isis spiders, while more key territory has been captured. the front lines remains an hour north of the capital. isis able to capture telafar. they're making sure shah people know what their fate will be if they dare stand in their way. yet another execution video emerged, this one showing a bearded

on the right we have both newt gingrich and s.e. cupp. so a big mohooray for us and a bigger one for rand paul. this guy is talking common sense, especially about iraq. listen to this. >> am i willing to send my son to retake back a city, mosul that, they weren't willing to defend themselves? i'm not willing to send my son into that mess. >> well, hallelujah. rand paul says he wouldn't send his kids to die in iraq. i've got two boys, neither would i-probably neither would you. rand paul is blaming also dick cheney for this whole mess. so do i. and back here at home, rand paul says he wants to build a stronger american democracy right here by, among other things, restoring voting rights for some former prisoners. now, i love this. you stop trying to fix every other country and get more americans a real stake in this country. i am loving this guy. so to you, newt, what is wrong with what he's saying? >> first of all, i'm just sitting here thinking about the van jones commercial in iowa endorsing rand paul and the republican caucus. tonight

on the right, newt gingrich and s.e. cupp. what can president obama still accomplish in his second term? plus, the outrage of the day. tonight on "crossfire." >>> welcome to "crossfire." i'm s.e. cupp on the right and we're all here again. i'm joined by newt going rish ap on the left by stephanie kut r cutter and van jones. president obama keeps swatting away accusations but today the supreme court told the president that his actions are unconstitutional. today's ruling is just a beginning of wide ranging objection of the imperial presidency. speaker john boehner is preparing to sue the president for this sort of behavior from obamacare changes and locking congress out of important foreign policy decisions. today's message from the court was clear, the imperial presidency is no longer the law of the land. so do you think that this imperils the president's phone and pen plan? >> no, s.e., i don't. >> i had a feeling you would say that. >> shocking. what the supreme court said today is that presidents have to wait longer than th

on the right, s.e. cupp. in the "crossfire," tracy sefel, a clinton supporter, and tim miller, co-author of "failed choices." should democrats place all bets on clinton? will republican attacks on her backfire? tonight on "crossfire." >>> welcome to "crossfire." i am paul begala on the left. >> i'm s.e. cupp on the right. guests with different opinions of hillary clinton. her new book comes out tomorrow and starting a high-profile campaign swing. i minean, promotional tour. she's getting lost in translation. for one, she doesn't speak progressive. just ask one. for another, she doesn't speak millennial which she learned the hard way in 2008. as you clearly see in her interview with abc's diane sawyer, unlike her husband, she hasn't figured out how to speak regular person. >> we came out of the white house not only dead broke, but in debt. we had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for chelsea's education. you know, it was not easy.

now, the issue that s.e. brought up, that's a secondary issue that will need it be dealt with. >> tough question, would you have left him there? you're the commander in chief, t on the table for you now, you don't have the 30 days. yes or no, leave him there or bring him home? >> we have to do everything we can to bring our people home. no question about it. >> you would have left him over there, brought him home? >> you have to follow the law. >> everybody would have brought him home. >> we want him home. we afrgree on that. there's a lot more to it that needs to be evaluated. >> all these are important issues and wouldn't discount any of it. the president needs to follow the law. i want to push you, if you tnt have the 30 days, would you have let him die there or bring him home? >> i would have done everything in my power to bring hem home. i want the information. >> well said. >> in 2011 congress agreed in a bipartisan opposition to the idea of releasing any gitmo prisoners. what has changed? >> well, we'v

s.e., i do think this is not working out the way republicans would like it to. she consistently wins the blue collar vote. 59% of people in the cnn poll think she does right for the middle class and 59% think she does what she cares about. that's what matters most. >> i will give you another poll. 55% of democrats saying they want another democrat to challenge hillary clinton. and 13% of democrats say they don't want hillary clinton to run. that means -- >> that has nothing to do with whether or not she is good with the middle class. >> she is not anointed. >> that is not what that poll is saying. >> let me finish. no way to positively spin the precampaign, campaign tour in terms of her setting the right tone. she doesn't do a good job. it does not help that her husband has to come to her defense. that doesn't look good either. >> they are not plucking hillary clinton out of nowhere and putting her in this debate. >> having worked on some campaigns, you take a look at what somebody's record is before you can see if a narrative sticks. this narrative won't stick

. >> and i'm s.e. kup on the right. two members of congress, today president obama spent more time talking about what we aren't going to do in iraq. and why. than he did making a case that the terrorist takeover of the levant has serious implications for us at home. how sad, george w. bush may still in the white house because president obama can't seem to make any foreign policy decisions without thinking of him first, he often explains his inaction by way of his predeceasedpr predeceaspr predeceaspr predeceas predeceasedor's mistakes. >> the military plan developed by the joint chiefs and that i believe is appropriate is proportional. it is limited. it does not involve boots on the ground. this is not iraq. and this is not afghanistan. >> and here was obama just today, on iraq. >> what's clear from the last decade is the need for the united states to ask hard questions before we take action abroad. particularly military action. >> look, we know that he thinks bush made mistakes. but this isn't 2006. it's time for obama

i agree with s.e. drive some of the sunnis further into the arms of extremists. but we have to take a step back and rencognize, we are living i a multipolar world. as americans, we're used to being the only power that matters. george w. bush started these wars, kicked over a hornet's nest, hurt the bank, and now we have to deal with the consequences. part of the consequences are, you've got to talk to people like iran and russia. >> so you say yes. given the dangers. >> i think it's worth talking. what you do, after you talk, that's another question. >> okay. let me take you back. this is because everybody is thinking, what could iraq look like down the road. and actually, to do that, let's go back to 2006, because this plan put forth to end full-scale civil war in iraq, back when the u.s. forces were actually still fighting there. and here's the idea. take a look. you split iraq into three sections, roughly comported to what we're seeing now. you have the kurds in the northeast, the sunnis in the hear
