ing by. is she wearing green? melissa: i sure am. we have a lot of news this hour. cheryl, thank you so much. we have late-breaking developments right now in the controversy over hillary clinton's emails. what the state department is saying about it right now that is brand new. giving it away the federal government hard at work spending your money i love this shelling it out to the wrong people new record for improper payments. are you kidding me? companies would like to think they know best. their new campaignses telling you what to think. oh, good. >> get ready to rumble. why mitt romney is getting in the ring with boxing legend evan der holyfield. even when they say it is not it is always about money. melissa: your tax dollars at work. a bombshell new report revealing the federal government wasted a

record $125 billion on questionable benefits last year. that is according to the government accountability office. let's bring in today's panel. fox business's david asman, rich lowery, "national review" and also fox news contributor. over there is veronica daguerre, you recognize her from "the wall street journal" this report is so infuriating. i mean improper payments increased by 19 billion. they had been going down. this includes in addition to the fraud, errors and overpayments, underpayments and payments made without proper documentation. rich, let me start with you. >> well the core competency of government -- melissa: i'm sorry, the what? >> the core competency of government -- melissa: yeah, they don't have that. >> not even good at that. so look medicare, medicaid we've known forever, rife with fraud. the sail is true of the eitc, a major offender. as far as government programs go not a bad one but still gives away -- melissa: that is the earned income tax credit you're talking

about which had nearly 18 billion in improper payments. this is the one we talk about new immigrants come in the country. file for back years when they were here illegally. that is 18 billion given away in improper payments. medicare is the leader of the pack. if you want so be leader among those giving away our money illegally. this is medicare payments to doctors and hospital, most improper payments at 46 billion. veronica. waste and so much fraud going on. what is sad people that actually need the money are not getting it because of all the fraud going on. especially when you talk about medicare and medicaid there is so much reform needed. but political will to get that done, good luck. >> what bothers me the most is misallocation of capital. this is $125 billion could have been put into the private sector, taken out of the private sector where it could have been allocated well for productive projects, all kinds of new businesses been created by this instead hard-earned dollars made

by the middle class and upper class and capitalist system of america is going to waste for frivolous purposes. melissa: so true. this is my question. this is the government accountability office did the report and found so much fraud and waste. now what? so what? whose responsibility is it to get in there to stop this from happening? they now know exactly where it is. why isn't anyone doing anything about this? we asked who is responsible for following up looking in the own brain room. they said legally each individual agency now responsible. >> going to criticize themselves, they will do that. >> up to medicare to get in there and identify. no no, who is the police? who is the watchdog that goes in and enforces the law? >> it is not their money. this is the fundamental problem. no private enterprise would tolerate routinely this level of waste and fraud. >> there is one, there is one agency. melissa: who? >> every department has an inspector general. and the inspector general's

office is supposed to look into fraud and abuse. we'll talk about it with regard to hillary looking into this thing. there is an independent inspector general in charge of every agency. are they asleep at the wheel? melissa: you mentioned hillary. i wanted to move on to hillary clinton. breaking news coming out of the state department. finally confirming -- >> oh interesting. melissa: if hillary clinton signed a epis race form when she left her job as secretary of state. listen. >> we have reviewed secretary clinton's official personnel file and administration file and do not have any record of her signing the of-109. in addition after looking into their official personnel files, we do not locate any record of either of her immediate predecessors signing this form. melissa: oh, yeah. nobody else signed it either. don't look here. look at everyone else you hear that sound? that is the sound of megyn kelly closing in on, i mean, watch

yourself. here she comes. i mean that was the only answer they could come up with, right? god forbid they produced form she did sign. there would be hell to pay, rich. >> key phrases dealing with the clintons. old news, not technically illegal and everybody does it. melissa: everybody does it. >> state department offering that. melissa: you have a way to advance this. >> yeah. this, clearly is an issue in which there is enough suspicion about what happened to the emails that were deleted whether there was anybody present when these emails deleted who didn't have security clearance of the all sorts of things, so the inspector general needs to get involved. i have a very source close to the inspector general's in the national archives who read to me the following. we can put put up full screens. each inspector general will report expeditiously, to the attorney general when they have reasonable ground to be violations of federal criminal law. the inspector general is required by law when there is

enough controversy to go to the attorney general and demand a subpoena to look into any documents or any server, computer, server, that is available that could be looked at. there is some, hillary's people said, hey, wait a minute. this is government property. no the server was on private property. it was a private server. so there is no conflict between the -- melissa: attorney general of president obama is not going to be motivated to go on this witch-hunt after hillary clinton. and witch-hunt -- >> i would sate to see, hate to see the kefuffle if he denied the ig coming to him saying we have the right to have a subpoena. melissa: are you sure? i don't know. rich don't you feel like they will weasel out from under this. >> of course they will weasel out. there is no will on the part of the obama administration holding her accountable. one thing driving story, at least the press for the moment really seized with this matter. melissa: markets seeing red. dow plunging triple dirge its as the fed kicks off two-day policy

meeting. we'll have a official decision at this time tomorrow. tune in, followed by a news conference by fed chairman janet yellen. not to be left out oil is hitting a new six-year low. you want to take a peek at that. look at that. veronica, tell me what you think happen with the fed tomorrow? what is the first question for fed officials at the meeting? >> i want to hear if they will remove the word patience. we'll see about that we'll probably have more clarity what they're thinking about the economy on wednesday. and we'll go from there. i think that the timing of the rate increase we'll see when that happens also the pace. that is a key question we're all hanging on. melissa: do you think they take the word patient out? people backtracked on that. >> shows you how screwed up the world is. our economy is, that it rests on one damn word. aren't our markets a little stronger than to stand up for lack or addition of one word? melissa: good point. >> not very exciting word. we hang on one word make it something else. melissa: nobody in my house is

patient at all. we're not familiar with that word. apple might be ready for prime time. the tech giant is preparing to launch its own television service in the fall according to "wall street journal" this is very interesting deal. it should be greeted with a little bit of skepticism. they're announcing this. they don't have the deal yet. don't necessarily know details. speculating 30 to 40 bucks. nbc universal is not in the group because they had a spat with apple. they're trying to tie together broadcasts to deliver it. what do you think. >> i think they could do it. the new apple iphone 6, has something called the hot spot app which allows to you create a hot spot without any cables in your house. create it by your phone with your at&t contract whatever it is somehow find a way to look that into the apple tv you don't have to pay anybody anything. you have already got it on your iphone. melissa: if you did that you wouldn't get our fantastic channel. >> you could find a way to stream it in. you could stream it in. melissa: if you just have apple. >> you could find a way.

union led by isac herzog whether they get the nod to form a new government. at play the seats in knesset. no one in israel's history ever won a majority of the seats. more likely the zion it movement could pick up more seats than likud. if they pick up only four to six seats, it is possible if likud loses seats and form the government, and netanyahu would still be prime. if they get more than six seats in zionist union, and herzog would become prime minister. everyone is keeping a eye on that. last night, mr. netanyahu said there would be no palestinian state while he is prime minister. just recently mr. herzog said he takes the two-state solution seriously. he would give 100% effort not guaranteeing 100% outcome to a two-state solution with the palestinians. melissa: adam, thank you so much for that report. we'll stay on top of that as well. we have no breaking news right
