good evening even the the house ways and means today officially deferred learner to the department of justice for criminal investigationment they found that she used her position to improperly influence irs agency actions against conservative organizations. she impeded official investigations by making misleading statements that she may have disclosed confidential taxpayer information. they publicly provided evidence that shows she was looking to take a job with the president's

nonprofit group, organizing for action creating at least the apaerns of a conflict of interest because at the time she was also responsible for officialover sight of their tax exempt status. quote, during the same time period, learner was engiering a denial and audit of cross roads gps. she had a favorable position towards left-leaning groups. in response to a news story about the formation of organizing for action she remarked quote, maybe i can get the d.c. office job, end quote. congressman dave camp indicated that laws have been broken and that no one in the administration is serious about holding anyone responsible. >> look, this was a career

employee in the irs. so we have to make sure that the signal goes out that this can't happen again. and again, if we don't stand up for people's constitutional rights on behalf of the american people, who else will? >> learner tomorrow will also be the subject of a congress vote in the house oversight committee. they released what they call evidence of collusion between learner and elijah cummings. they claim the irs have released internal e-mails showing them contacting ms. learner directly inquiring about specific conservative nonprofit advocates as far back as august of 2012, a claim that has cummings repeatedly and vee mentay denying. he most recently denied those charges in february of this

year. >> we want to get to the bottom of how these coincidences happened. and we're going to try to figure out if there was any staff of this committee that might have been involved and putting through the vote on the radar screen. we don't know that. but we're going to do everything we can do to try to get to the bottom of how did this all happen. >> want to thank the gentleman for his courtesy. what she just said is absolutely incorrect and not true. >> this is the same congressman who compared chairman issa to joe mccarthy in a press release. our first guest tonight will vote on contempt charges against learner tomorrow. he says it's simple when you have a duly issued subpoena, you must comply with it. that is the law and it is not optional he says. joining us now, congressman, a member of the house oversight

and government reform committee. >> we'll get kicked off by 9:00 and there will be a lot of flailing arms. but ultimately it's about this 21-page document i have in my hand which demonstrates clearly lois lerner waived her fifth amendment rights when she testified before congress and then subsequently tried to invoke the fifth amendment. as my colleague and chairman issa and others pointedous, she waived her fifth amendment rights. she has to answer. we're left with no option but to hold her in contempt of congress, refer that to the full house, and hopefully have a vote on that before the end of the month. >> congressman elijah cummings saying that darrell issa's

basically joe mccarthy 2014, and at the same time cummings is charged with directly intervening in the affairs of the committee and going directly to lois lerner. your reaction. >> i don't like it when it gets too personal. i remember speaker boehner when i first got to congress, which wasn't too long ago said, you know what? you can disagree, just don't be disagreeable. i think sometimes when it gets to be too personal when they try to call someone or equate them to joe mccarthy, in that era, i think that steps over the line a little bit. we just need to look at the facts, and the facts remain that these conservative groups were targeted repeatedly, and when you have through the vote and some of these other organizations, police inget breath who is as best we can tell a good upstanding citizen, she was clearly targeted, you have correspondence with lois lerner saying that tea party

groups are, quote/unquote, dangerous, those types of things, you've got to deal with it very seriously. >> very serious treatment. we talked with her on this show. she is entirely credible. what has been remarkable as the failure, frankly, of the government to respond in a positive wi to her and that she had to endure along with so many other leaders of overorganizations, conservative organizations for such a long period of time. lois lerner talking about a job with president obama's organizing nonprofit, organizing for action, while she was in charge of oversight and irs for those tamx-exempt organizations. your thoughts. >> i think the ways and committees under dave camp has done the right thing. this is a criminal referral. it's been dealt with very seriously. if this is not dealt with in a serious way by the department of justice, nothing will be.

clearly there's a pattern of prejudice here in something that's supposed to be nonpartisan. the irs is supposed to be separate than everything el but clearly was not. and to the point where she was actually, you know, making this exclamation that perhaps she could get this other job because of it, remember, she was at the federal election committee, the fcc kmirks and then brought over to be in the united states and then they had the assistance united ruling and suddenly her ought attitude toward conservative groups shows up in day-to-day paperwork. we had testimony. two people, one who had been there nearly 50 years, unbelievable like that. they had never, ever seen anything like this. it's disparaging. a lot of good people at the irs. we need to root out that bad chairman dave camp did the right thing. >> irs, the dallas office, the office of special counsel, investigating those. finding a commonplace in the dallas irs office saying

basically it looked like a campaign office for president obama. the dhs, department of homeland security, with backdoorobs, trying to subvert federal hiring rules. there seems to be a want don disregard of regulation, of common sense and good judgment here at the very least, and at yesterday's hearing, judiciary, eric holder wagging his finger at congressman louis gohmert saying you don't want to go there, buddy, when saying that it didn't seem the attorney general is particularly -- well, he said it wasn't a big deal. it didn't appeal to be a big deal. what is your thought, congressman? >> well, if you go back specific to this case, remember, it was president obama who went, i believe it was in the east room and they were going to root this out and if there was anything wrong, they'll find it. you had the attorney general holder who started a criminal investigation. and then before the criminal investigation's even completed,

the president goes on and in an interview and says there wasn't even a smidgen of corruption or possible corruption. how did he come the that conclusion before the attorney general and the department of justice did? i mean it just does not add up. there was a lot of smoke there. the committees have done proper investigation. they're going get a criminal referral and probably tomorrow we're going to vote on a contempt proceeding here in the house that will then go to full house. but come on. this is something that affects democrats and republicans. principle is principle, lou. if it's right one way, it's going to be right the other way, and the house is doing the right thing. >> congressman, as always, good to talk with you. thanking for being here. >> thanks, lou. when it comes to upholding the law and the constitution, our attorney general says he has a vast amount of discretion. and is al sharpton an fbi snitch? and personal security expert and

investigator bo deed well their views next. (dad) well, we've been thinking about it and we're just not sure. (agent) i understand. (dad) we've never sold a house before. (agent) i'll walk you guys through every step. (dad) so if we sell, do you think we can swing it? (agent) i have the numbers right here and based on the comps that i've found, the timing is perfect. ...there's a lot of buyers for a house like yours. (dad) that's good to know. (mom) i'm so excited. why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york? i tell people it's for the climate. the conditions in new york state are great for business. new york is ranked #2 in the nation for new private sector job creation.

joining us now attorney. also with us private investigator former new york police department detective, fox news contributor bo dietl. great to have you here. and because you're way out there, mercedes, let me start with you. lois lerner, apparently facing now criminal charges. how -- how do you think this will go? >> well, it's amazing that she seems to think that she is above the law. anyone that testifies before congress is required to state the facts and answer truthfully. she's refusing to answer. and, frankly, last night it was

said very quickly it's obvious that the irs targeting the tea party. it's obvious that the law was broken. if you're the head of the irs, lerner, you have to come forward and give the facts. you have to come forward and comply with what's being asked of you and you have to comply with the investigation. why is it she's suddenly above the law, she's not going to be required to set forth any testimony? that's why congress is holding her in contempt and ultimately in the justice department does what they're supposed to do, we don't know. we'll have to see what eric holder does, she will be held in criminal contempt. >> she has a right to the fifth amendment, the right not to incriminate herself. here's the problem. she went on. she said i didn't do anything wrong. i'm innocent. nothing that the irs did was wrong. you can't do that. with fifth amendment, you say name, rank, and serial number and that is it. she didn't to that. she's trying to have her cake and eat it too.

>> we have losers in this country and if they commit a crime, that i should be prosecuting. 80 times doesn't remember. all of a sudden everybody gets amnesia. i've got to pay my taxes and irs. i don't want them singling me out because i'm a fox news contributor. this is wrong and they should get to the bomb of it. who is the attorney general? eric holder. he's the one. of course. >> lou's talking about will she be held in criminal contempt. you know how that works. it goes through the house committee and the house and then where does it go? the attorney general. >> that's why i'm talking about referring the criminal prosecution to the justice department and the fact is we now know that the head of the irs, the general council and their top officials have lied throughout trying to assert the idea that this was just, you know, they were also targeting liberal groups. we now learn from whistle blowers and other sources they didn't target a singe liberal

group. mercedes, at some point is there not an accountability for public servant who lied to congress and the american people. >> oh, absolutely. but if eric holder is going to be the with unwho determines if lois lerner is held in criminal contempt and is charged, it's all up to him. what do they do? use the powers of the vote. that's the only power that u.s. citizens th s that they have. >> the sorriy son of a guns get away with that, unbelievable. now al sharpton being a snitch for decades here. >> this is not new news.

i was in new york city. at that time i knew fat a.m. then. we used to call him fat al because he was fachlt now he's skinningy. >> he's skinny, bo. >> he was caught on the video talking about buying kilos of coke. when we get them, we flip them and make them an informant and what happens is you use them. use them for information. he was involved in the music industry, with king. >> when you say king -- >> the point is this is not new news. he was flipping like fresh flounder in a frying pan. >> what is new news is the degree is al sharpton. if he has done all the things he has been reported to be done by smoking gun and others, he deserves a ticker tape parade. >> wait a second. wait a second. i was a federal prosecutor. never did somebody come in and

say, youknow, i want to tell you all these things, versus i've got something on him. send the guys out and say, if you don't come to me -- >> and you keep using him. >> that's right. >> that's how you wash away all your sins. and he keeps giving them information. and they keep sending him out. he's like a rat. they put a little cheese there. he goes and he eats the cheese. >> but he says he's been a victim though. that's what's amazing. how many victims come forward to law enforce mnlts and say i'm being victimized. i want you to tape me up, wire me up, and i'm going to go out and catch the bad guys. that's generally nuts. >> is there any possibility he's still on the federal payroll? >> i wouldn't put anything past him. this is when he was going on around with the tijuana brawly hooks. >> he's going to be with our president, his best friend, his gum ba. he's going to be with him here on friday in new york. he was with him in the super

bowl. he's in the white house more than the president is in the white house. this is his best buddy. who's doevg the research on this thing? i guess eric holder. >> he'll hold a contempt hearing. >> he was held in sanctions. he's the only cabinet official they sanctioned. >> i love the thing he did today, eric holder, mercedes. don't you think that -- >> don't go there, buddy. >> what the heck did he say to her? you don't want to go there, buddy? >> i think he got a little bit angry. >> unsfwleevl we're not used to that kind of thing in new york when they act that way. >> no. >> bo dietl, thank you all for being with us. up next, what drove one of our soldiers to commit the ft. hood shootings, and why are 22 of our veterans each and every day committing suicide? day committing suicide? leading

my dad has aorfib.fibrillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems,

especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.

a short word that's a tall order. up your game. up the ante. and if you stumble, you get back up. up isn't easy, and we ought to know. we're in the business of up. everyday delta flies a quarter of million people while investing billions improving everything from booking to baggage claim. we're raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we will up it yet again. psychiatrist and member of the

fox a-team, dr. keith ablow. good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> let's talk about the shooting at ft. hood and ivan lopez. i was talking the other night. he was defending the mental health care and the standards. this is such a tragic and recurring pattern and series of events. what is going on in your judgment? >> well, it's hard to defend a system of mental health care when we just have had another case of somebody whose undertreatment, right, and in this case kills three servicemen. so if this were a private hospital, right, not in the military and this had occurred at the hospital, believe me, they'd b questioning what went on, who were the clinicians, is this representative of a systemwide problem? what did we miss?

and the military should be looking at what are we missing. one thing they may be remiss about is the emphasis on resiliency in the military. there's an emphasis on getting back to work, on coping with your problems by not focusing on them, right? so don't focus on your trauma. try to avoid thinking about that. everything i know about psychiatry tells me that's a recipe for disaster because eventually some number of people will boil over with the things they've tried to stuff down. you've got to talk about these things. >> and obviously the military has treatment centers and doctors and those available, psychologists to help, but in this case, as you point out, and it happens in civilian life as well, the military, they missed an opportunity to treat a person. >> seemingly so. we don't have all the records. but if that's the case, perhaps the military suffers from the same trouble that psychiatry in general does because they have

to pull their clinicians from the greater pool of psychiatrists. psychiatry has lost its status as a listening art. they're grabbing their prescription passed, seeing patients in rapidfire, no pun intended here, and the fallout from that is that people are left behind, and with the number of suicides among veteransnd the rest of it, we know there is a problem. >> 22 veteran as day commit suicide in this country. that's an astonishing number. and it seems to go without remark or response. >> well, perhaps because the system itself is so fresh, people don't havehe will to resurrect it. the system worked better before. it's working less well now. and if anybody deserves gold standard care, it ought to be veterans. >> absolutely. >> so many of them have been in combat, have been traumatized. so if we can't muster the

wherewithal to follow up with veterans and safeguard them and their families because every suicide represents lots of other people, kids who are affected, who lose their dads or their moms. if we can't do it for them. then the whole system is broken because it ought to be the best for veterans. >> doctor, i want to turn to something that to me is an astonishingly good news report. that is paralysis may not last forever, folks. this is an incredible report. a team of researchers at the university of louisville and university of los angeles, california, working with scientists from the pavlov institute of physiology in russia have found a way at least in four instances to at least mitigate the impact of paralysis, and i'm going to let you describe it because you're the expert, how excited we should be about this. >> this is a show-stopper.

where do you go from here? this is one of those things where you say, wow. all of the efforts of researchers, all the money poured into these things, the taxes that we pay, where is it best manifested as worthwhile? in a headline like that, that doctors can get people up out of their wheelchairs, to no longer be paralyzed by spinal cord injuries potentially, four out of four patients up and out of their wheelchairs. it's stunning, it's incredible, and we're going to hear more things like this from medical technology. >> and these four men have all regains bladder and bowl control, sexual function, and the ability to regulate their blood pressure and body temperature even when the epidural stimulation device is not running. >> incredible. >> epidural is an electrical charge. >> it's an lek montreal stimulator that by paess where the spinal cord has been injured. some of funding came from the

christopher reaves foundation. i don't have the name right. >> right. >> if you're looking for the strange ways that god may work, the fact that this great family took his injury and turned it into something where they said we don't want people to suffer with this anymore, and four people are up out of their wheelchairs? it could be 4,000 in a year or 40,000 in two. >> it is one of those breakthroughs. it's so dramatic and so wonderful, i think -- i mean i would love to see president obama seize the moment and throw everything we've got at it for all of those people who could benefit. >> wouldn't that be a great? n't wouldn't it be a great for the president to go on tv and say this is an example of american commitment and american ingenuity joining with other researchers around the world. >> and russia. >> and russians, but let's get a pat on the back from our president. i don't know if we'll hear that because the president doesn't want us to feel exceptional. this is an exceptional moment.

>> mbe he will forgive the pun. make an exception this time. >> perhaps. >> dr. ablow, thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. great seeing you. another bush for president. is america ready? jeb bush says illegal immigration is just the way illegal immigrants show their love. love. john fund and mat asked people a simple question: inetirement, will you outlive your money? uhhh. no, that can't happen. that's the thing, you don't know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive.. confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need. well, knowing gives you confidence. start building your confident retirement today. when folks in the lower 48 think athey think salmon and energy.a, but the energy bp produces up here

creates something else as well: jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

[ female announcer ] ask your doctor about crestor. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca y be able toelp. for president george w. bush matt slap and former columnist john lunt. jeb bush talking about illegal immigration is an act of love. is that some sort of deep heavy symbolism or just what is it? >> look, he's got a long record on immigration and he was a very

popular governor of florida which has a very diverse population, maybe the most in the country and i think he was tellings us what he thinks on the issue. he's not going to be able to change his opinion on immigration. he's out there, he's public, and he's talking about it publicly and i think as he thinks about the presidential race, he's seen what the reaction is. >> and what do you think the reaction is to the governor's act of love comment? >> i dodge know. i'm waiting to see what john says. >> here we go. let's withhold the suspense. jeb bush. >> this is not how you play presidential politics. i think he is enjnjoying gettin out there and being talked about as a albrightonal candidate. he's lar boring some believe that maybe the skies will part and he can run. but you don't say things like this and survive in republican primaries. >> and just what does happen here?

he in the latest surveys doesn't register. he's at the middle of the pack. leading the people in the republican party are senator rand paul, governor mike huckabee at the top of the pack. >> right. >> it's about at that type the establishent types -- i will not incde you in the establishment types unless you want to be part of the club -- >> no, thank yo >> they had to act quickly and get jeb bush out on the stage publicly. >> you know, lou, this race for the republican nomination has never been as open like this since the 1950s. we dochlkt have the next -- finishing candidate ready to go. and so people are looking aet the field. and, of course, they're nervous. they're matching it against hillary clinton who's, you know, a bit of a democratic powerhouse. so i think the fact that people turn to jeb bush as a potential candidate makes a lot of sense. he's be a great candidate and i hope he runs. but think john is right.

if he runs, he's going have to have a serious plan, and he's going to have to, you know, make sure that what he says needs to be done for the future of the country is consistent with where conservatives in our party want to go. >> as i hear matt talking here, i'm thinking, my gosh, they need a white knight in the republican party because they even got two candidates doing particular well who are not sort of typical establishment canonized candidates that are the want of the republican party. it seem like the healthier way to go but the establishment is having a bit of a reflex problem. >> those of this watching know that we're not going to know until the end of the election. that's what dictates who runs and how they decide to run. frankly all of this is very premature. i'll just tell you right now. this is a healthy competition. i agree with matt.

the republican party does not have healthy competition. it always goes to the next person in line. thank goodness for competition. we'll see how they perform and the voters will ultimately be able to decide. >> would jeb bush be the next person in line? >> no, because the last thing a country of shall we say individualual lists want is two families bush and clinton running for a whole generation. he was chiefly the problem. having bush and clinton all over again goes against everything anti-dainius tick country stands for? one thing i think we're going to see candidates emerge who we're not talking about now. i think it's good that this race is wide open. i think we're going to have a great conversation about ideas and thing jeb bush is going to be a part of that conversation whether he's kaejt or not. >> those will helpful, kibitzing

from the sidelines. i know that isn't what you said, matt. >> please, lou. >> i'll be nice. as we conclude the discussion. that's all. thanks so much for being here. up next, outsources of jobs, offshoring of production. hopes for the future. we talk to the producer of american made what does everything mean to you? with the quicksilver cash back card from capital one, it means unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase, every day. it doesn't mean, "everything.. as long as you buy it at theas station." it doesn't mean, "everything... unl you hit your cash back limit." it means earn 1.5% cash back on every purchase, every place, every occasion, all over creation. that's what everything should mean. so consider... what's in your wallet?

the truth is in an increasingly global economy it takes manufacturers from all over the world to make thingses necessary to have baseball game. >> are you kidding me? america's pastime, we're globally dependent? joining me now the writer and producer of "the american made move," vin vecent vittorio. good to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> you've got to be kidding. >> you know, with live in a different world now where so many of the parts come from so many different places where it's not just one product from one country, so to speak. >> well, not one product from one country, but i mean we're talking about offshoring, outsourcing, we're talking about rather than comparative advantage which is typically ideal lis particularly and ideally what should be going on, a country that can produce the best at the cheapest price prevailed. but that isn't really what's happening, is it? >> well, you know, we used to be known as the country that made

these superior products. we were it. you look at world war ii. there wasn't any competition. now the playing field has changed and we have to compete with these other countries and we're taking into effect with labor costs and, you know, the strength of our dollar and the way in which we have these competing forces. >> so, you know, we just went through this thing with general motors. we find out just about 770% of the parts are made somewhere else. i'm not quite sure i understand how that works. help me out. why are we producing so much overseas? i understand that china's a big market, so build a plant there and sell into the market, i get that. but what about our middle class? what about our working men and women in this country who need to be making a -- you know, a living wage and supporting their families and building a futuresome. >> we >> the american made movie takes a look at how we as consume can take a vested interest in

this. we've seen democrats and republicans talking about bringing back manufacturing. it sounds good but at the end of the day, there's no action. what we do at the end of the day is show consumers how they can take a vested interest in their local economy, state economy or this country to bring things back. >> and to create jobs for a middle class that's getting its butt kicked. we're watching this middle class in this country just get slapped around and they don't have an advocate or democratic party. they don't have an advocate in the rupp party. do you think that will change? >> you know, i'm hopeful. i think it will. i think that it really goes back to the consumer because we are all a part of this. >> sure we are. >> not just our votes. >> but for the cheapest price, whether it's made in romania, china, russia, wherever it may be, and not focusing on quality, not willing to pay that extra 10 cents or a dollar. >> it's also about the brand. you know, that made in america brand is becoming sexy.

lebron james gets paid millions of dollars to support a shoe company when people can just employ americans to make things in this country and they get that label. that's going to make people feel more behind that product to say i'm going to support people because it's all a jobs. >> this movie about "made in america" and about jobs as you say makes a compelling viewing for all of us. how do people see it? what is the best way to watch the american made movie? >> on april 1st it opened up on on demand. >> cable systems? >> cable systems. >> dish, directv. >> yes. they can find it that wi or go to the website, theamericanmademovie.com and find out other ways. >> we've got it up right there, "americanmademovie.com." vin vent vittorio, thanks for being here. >> thanks. >> come back. meet the scientists and a

formerly paralyzed patient who can now move again. they join us in studio in just one moment. vé

it is an -- it's an exciting almost incredible medical breakthrough that may mean a difference for millions of americans who are paralyzed, who have spinal injuries. a team of doctors were able to restore some voluntary movement for four men who were told they would never move their legs again or a co again. for a complete understanding of this groundbreaking development we're joining by one of the fellow researchers. she is dr. claudia angeli, assistant director of university of louisville spinal cord

research center and the study's first participant rob summers who was paralyzed in a 2006 accident. great to have you both here. i want to say congratulations. the people have got to be wondering what this really means, the ia that those who are parablized could suddenly have movement, have sensory feeling return. tell us about it, doctor. >> yeah, that is correct. one of the very unexpected results was when we implanted first rob and he's the one that actually found out for us that he could voluntarily move. we were doing testing for something completely different. he had the simulation on. he was a little bored at the time, and he tried to move his toe and his toe moved. >> did you think he was messing with you? >> yes. so we asked him to do it again and again and again. and he moved. every time we asked him to move.

>> what was coursing through your mind as that occurred? >> i was sitting there with my head trainer, and we were in the middle of an experiment and started laughing and i was moving my toe. and i was like, look, i can move it on kplanld. i am controlling this. and drrk hark ma and dr. claudia looked over and said, no, this is serious time. pay attention. i said, i think this is pretty cool, you want to check this out. i can move my toes on command. and they said, no, you can't. >> what was different on that day in that moment than any other day previous medically? ? >> medically there was nothing different. the initial study was developed around standing and stepping so we never thought that voluntary activity was going to get restored with epidural stimulation, so we never thought about asking them to even move. so it was something that rob just did at the time. >> what is the difference in treatment? what is this break through and

what is it and how does it do it? >> the difference now, we know now with the three individuals that we implanted from when rob was implanted was that you actually do not need the training to regain the voluntary activity. so the next three individuals were able to move the first time we asked them to move. >> the first time. >> when the simulation was on, yes. >> incredible. >> and what we're doing is pretty much waking up the spinal cord and making it aware of the signals that are coming down from the brain. and the brain only has to send a very simple command to -- or intent to move and then the spinal cord takes care of all the details. >> how much of your body functions have been restored that previously were paralyzed? >> well, previously i had no movement from the chest down and very little feeling, very little sensation. since the epidural simulator, i've been able to stand

independe inpendently. i've been able to with the simulator on rega the movement in my ankles, toes, knees, hips, and even most recently been able to do sit-ups, full sit-ups, core and trunk rotations as well as regain the sensation of hot, cold, sharp touch, dull touch, even most recently been able to feel the breeze against my legs and even the tickling sensation as well as the autonomic functions that people don't necessarily think about, bladder function, bowl function, sexual function. >> all restored. >> all restored. >> and do you have to have the epidural stimulator there in the course of the day throughout? how does that work? >> no. for the functions that he just described, those are secondary functions that we're finding are showing improvement and those improvements are lasting even after the stimulator is off. >> incredible.

i was just thinking secondary functions. i bet rob doesn't call them secondary functions. >> probably not. >> this -- a great -- great, great congratulations and thanks to you. just a miracle, is it not? >> it really is. and it leadsing tgreater quality of life today for myself and ultimately so many others who live day to day with paralysis. >> four people, four very special people elected for this initial research, how quickly can it be expanded to those? there are an estimated 6 million people with spinal cord injuries in this country. >> we're going to increase the sample size by another four. that's our next step. try to reproduce the results. then we we're going slowly try to move this into the clinic. we have some hurdles in terms of technology, but we're trying to address those as well and trying to develop a new stimulator and hopefully this will become a

clinical treatment in the short run. >> a clinical treatment. how much hope because the last thing one wants to do is raise hopes for those who are -- who have spinal cord deliveries. how hopeful should they be that this represents the breakthrough for them? >> i think we're on the right path right now and we will continue to look into expanding our sample size population right now so we can be more sure that this is truly going to work for everybody. >> well, you have our support, our thanks, and god bless. i appreciate you being here. that earning you very much. >> thank you dpr having us. >> thank you. >> all the best. up next, my commentary on the significance of the medical breakthrough that we just talked about with rob and dr. angeli. that and your comments coming right up. stay with us.

we're all grateful to meet and talk with dr. angeli and rob summers. it is wonderful to watch the hard work by so many. the brilliant work by doctors and scientists by so much money we paid in donations and taxes to better lives of 6 million americans who suffer from spinal injuries. for those patients who persevere and courageously work. that day is approaching and it will take a lot of money to make it so but i can't think of a much worthier cause than providing support for what has been created by dr. angeli and all of her colleagues and this research and what has culminated in a real breakthrough. to take this breakthrough to all 6 million people will take a lot of money.

we hope you will support their efforts. it will change the lives of millions forever. we all pray for that miracle. well, time for a few of your comments now. jack in georgia e-mailed me to say lois lerner may be held in contempt, but this is a fruitless exercise unless there is jail time or a large fine. well, they're trying. criminal referral. bob tweeted me to say if the gop wants to lose in 2016, have a bush and krischristieticket. that's what they needed. ann tweeted me to say give us a man with a vision to restore liberty, states rights, a free market, and has no family ties to existing politicians. interesting way to put it. we love to hear from you. e-mail us. follow us on twitter. go to our facebook page. links to
