10:05 pm
pursueing his dream of releasing people who are bent on killing us, back into the public arena. >> that brings up a good question, how do we track these people or anyone we let go that report told us one wants to create his own milk and honey farm, if you can believe that, and they are releaseed to qatar, how are we going to keep an eye on them, recidivism is high when the political prisoners are released. >> we're notng to be able to track them, i can tell you how reliable the qataris are in late 1995, i was part of an operation that found mohamed in qatar, fbi confirmed it was him, and we wanted to kidnap him out of qatar, president clinton said no with support of his lieutenants, and he asked -- said we'll get the kwa qataris to turn him ove, they were approached and agreed
10:06 pm
and their intelligence service warned khalid sha*eurbg mohamed, sheikh mohammed he got out. they are unreliable we know that, this is not new. >> bottom line does this give taliban more power, more you know empwoepbl the embolden thet more kidnapping over a weak government in kabul but now they know they can get quite a good deal done with the administration as it stands. >> i think that is right. i would not say they were emboldens, they were probably laughing at us for being horses' behinds, they traded someone who was not worth a nickel to them for 5 of their senior most officials, i think that is going tto come back to haunt us we promise toly n leave no one beh, now every american, it san open season on them, the -- it is an

open season on them, the president creeled that situation himself. himself. >> is there more to bergdahl than we realize, this is complicated story with many layers, could he be a cia plot? that soundss ridiculous but on internet many belief that. >> he is just a piece of baggage, he deserted his comrades in combat, and there should have been no concern about bringing him bac to lose men looking for this person,s almost beyond belief, and about the you know possible that's he had converted to islam and became a jihadi, we have seen that happen several times among soviet deserters who fought afghans in 1980s, that surprise could be coming down the road. >> so what should happen t bergdahl? should he be court ha he did? >> anybody else would, but
10:08 pm
president has in such a predict am at the moment that military probably will swallow their pride, and find he was guilty of some administrative violation, rather than doing what they should, and find him guilty of deserg in aombat zone. >> i was listening to diane feinstein who normally is toes the administration line but he said part of reasoning of bergdahl was health was in bad shape, he was threatened. but i don't get that sense, do you? i don't know how they can say that. >> not from what we have learned so far in pretty good physical shape, and he is sat least -- at least not wanting to talk to his family. >> does this give us more freedom to go after extremeist groups without worrying he economy collateral damage. >> no, one thing that press has not picked up on, i think part of this deal of taliban wanted
10:09 pm

ashley: our next guest will be part of a critical hearing on veteran's affair scandal just about to get underway, today's audit from v.a. confirms that what we've known all along they falsifyed wait times to cover-up their mess. joining us now, a member of veterans affairs committee, thank you for joining us, you have a h to run off to, but it seems that the deeper we dig into running of v.a. facility, the uglier it becomes, could it be the tip of the iceberg? >> i think it is, sadly today this confirms what we've known for a long time, respect said 57,000 -- report said that 57,000 veterans are still awaiting a first appointment. we have known this a systemic problem, that wo all that would
10:15 pm
find a lot of issues, i have said there have been numerous reports, now this audit, really, it confirms what ig and ga reports have said, a problem that v.a. refuseed to follow the directs and clean it up. ashley: the audit says their 15 day anxiety target for -- anxious target for waiting time was not reasonable, not attainible giving staffing levels and demand for services, yet lying and falsifying of records that went on was ramp pat with supervisors froma we could tell hoardering their troops if you like, to falsify the record, just to get the bonuses. this is set up to fail. at the expense o the veterans. >> there has been deliberate scream created by bad actors in this.a., this issue with over tight, is going to have to done
10:16 pm
to be quick, and very thorough, and bipartisan so we can get to a solution. if we don't root out the bad actors, does not who leads v.a. we'll be right back in the situation in a short amount of time, i think, we have to continue to drill down, and ill down quickly to get to the bottom before we lose the attention of people, and so people can hold everyone responsible for this, and hopefully we have get senate moving in passing some bills in this house, still sitting doa on senate side, american people need to weigh in, i think to urgency of hour. hour. ashley: this is no quick fix is it, it could cost quite a lot of money to get it right. >> that is why we need to bring in a new secretary with experience in a large hospital network that knows how to structure something so. >> is fail safe types of paramers inside, this v.a. did not have anything fail safe, one
10:17 pm
reason they have been able to manipulate data and waiting time, and create a scheme they made mney on with incentive of bonuses is because the i-t system is messed up, it has not been identified or addressed yet. ashley: while we take the time to get this mess sorted out, who hope is there for veterans who need medical care, can they go to nonv.a. doctors, what faith saves or safety nets are being put in place? >> we just passed on a house floor, a huge bipartisan vote veterans accountbility act that will offer that bridge to how folks get care, and allowing v.a. the ability to fire the senior level executive but until senate moves something out and we have a law for president to sign it is difficult. that is why i don't make sure we don't get caught up in a bunch of emptyords and rhet rhetoric. >> with all due respect, not a lot of that out of washington,
10:18 pm
so partisan is this an issue that could avoid those political you know standoffs, can we get something done quickly. >>o far this has been a bipartisan issue, politics has not played a role, i intend to keep it that way certainlyn my part, hour house committee -- our house committee is an example how both geting iing itn half of your veterans. >> what do you hope to aceo of in tonight's hearing? >> we'll havee ask more questions, hopefully get more answers, keep this accountability level at a heer stand thhn this has been, our job on hold the new secretary on solution. ashley: a big task ahead of you you wish you the best. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> all right looking at our online poll results we asked 70

10:53 pm
great almost murder mystery for everything that could go wrong did go wrong making for a great spectacle. ashley: fasnating because they suffered a variety of tropical diseases, lost his hearing after an insect crawled in his ear, at one point was temporarily blinded which almost in ironic fashion get to a huge lake he cannot see it because he is blind. how do they get into a rivalry, why did they end up at odds with each other for so much? >> the interesting thing is you would think the only two english guys who can speak the same language with one another traveling in africa for almost three years would get along with each other.
10:54 pm
thinking lake victoria was the center of the nile, they would speak at the first, putting his point of view across and by the time burton got there, he was ruined because everybody believed they could speak. he had a dueling scar on one cheek, he was a man known for being infamous with his behavior and his anger, he would have to speak with a vengeance did ashley: he ended up shooting himself accidentally climbing over a brick wall. thgun went off and shot himself in the chest. >> i don't think it was an accident. he literally put it up against his chest, you don't do that if you are at all familiar with
10:55 pm
