i'm scared about going down that. >> tomorrow we've got another big show planned. cheryl casone will be here. we'll see you back here tomorrow martha: imagine waking up have this is your home this morning. from a local news photographer who sent a drone up to catch these images in arkansas. you can see the homes, the businesses flattened after multiple twisters barreled

through that area. bill: it keeps going and going. near little rock, what does it look like there? reporter: bill, the situation is not good. we are near little rock. 20 miles or so to the north of little rock. mayflower. i'm going to show you around here. it is this time of year, spring is upon us. a relatively quiet tornado season and voided that change this season, especially in arkansas. it is very culinary at this point, but some meteorologists by looking at the damage to this could be an ef3 or higher. this is still very much a search and rescue operation because one of those terrifying things about storms like this is when they happen at night, and this happened a little before 8:00 or

so central time, so little bit before 9:00 eastern. the sun is starting to go down at that point, dark, cloudy, windy, and it is very difficult to see any funnel clouds. we have a lot of folks without power. this is the edge of a neighborhood. you can see the front of that home just obliterated. we will continue to walk this way. people without power, a powerline snapped in half, 17,000 people around arkansas without power this morning. what can 135 plus mile-per-hour wind do? they can topple an 18 wheeler. these are the wheels, it is on its side. a tap piece of scrap metal. those 18 wheelers are tilted to the side. that is what these types of wind can do. of course the headline out of here this morning, 16 people in the state of arkansas alone are

dead. some officials fear that number could go higher as the sun is now up as they're going door to door trying to still search for people who are unaccounted for. bill: what do you have from there? reporter: about another 20 miles, 21 miles to the northeast of us, that community took a direct hit as well. some of the fatalities are up in that community. that community had a very bad tornado that went through there a few years ago. some of the folks who went through that particular storm a couple of years ago said it was just all too common, the feelings of the warnings coming last night, hunkering down in storm shelters. those people dealing with what we see here, a lot of damage, lots of destruction and

unfortunately a number of fatalities, bill. bill: casey stegall, good to have you on the ground. reporter: thank you. martha: these twisters touched down to the north of that area in oklahoma. one person was killed. first responders say the storm developed very quickly. people did not have much warning at all. >> way too many times in this area. it seems to be a repeat that keeps occurring. it's something that is hard to deal with as emergency responder because he wants to save everybody, but in our line of work, we have to realize it's not a possibility to save everyone. martha: dramatic stuff. awful situation. quapaw is 20 miles from joplin. which you remember the massive tornado that devastated the city of joplin back in 2011. 161 people were killed, 1000 were injured. a final crow funnel cloud was sr

joplin yesterday but it never touchdown. twisters touching down in linn county kansas on the missouri border. this barn and other buildings destroyed. now looks like a scrap metal yard out there. incredibly and thankfully in that area nobody hurt. bill: a lot of warnings went out. look at this image from northeast oklahoma. look at all the damage and destruction they have to go through. two areas hard-hit. one person dead in oklahoma. in the area of arkansas where casey stegall is reporting north of little rock about 20 miles, you had at least 10 die in that county. northeastern oklahoma is where you had another fatality overnight. today though it will be extreme yet again, a lot of warnings going out for the leading edge of this storm.

mississippi into alabama and tennessee and maybe a little further north kentucky and ohio river valley. talk about a history of these storms. three years ago yesterday 122 reported the same day. 316 killed. throughout mississippi, alabama, tennessee, alabama. let's hope the technology can perhaps save some lives. martha: count so much on the warning systems, they do save lives. sadly it can't always save everyone. so we will be watching that as the weather develops across the country today. this is the other very big story today. the nba is now investigating as players and fans around the league are outrage over racist comments that were allegedly made by los angeles clippers owner donald sterling. his own team staged a silent protest. watch this footage. took off their shirts, had the

shirt underneath them turned inside out so you couldn't see the clippers logo. their own team logo on their own shirts. they wore black armbands in solidarity. coaches spoke about the alleged comments. >> racism, injustice of any kind should be front and center, we should never run from it. i will tell you that. we all do a good job, h you shod not run from it. try to do your best to handle it. >> my point would be don't think it is just the clippers that have been affected by these comments. i think it affected us all. martha: live on this story, how did all this start? >> it began to unravel for donald sterling when his estranged wife shall he got anger he was spending so much of their money on his girlfriend. she also goes by the name of vanessa perez, others. sterling's wife calls her a gold digger. filed a lawsuit demanding should

return a ferrari, two bentleys, a house of $2,000,000.240000 in walking around money. she refused. that is when the audiotapes between sterling turned up. a man asks her not to bring blacks including hall of fame legend magic johnson to clippers basketball games. >> you can do whatever you want. the little i ask of you is not to promote it and not bring him to my games. i support them and give them food and clothes and cars and houses. who gives it to them? does somebody else give it to them? who makes the game? do i make the game or do they make the game? bill: 80-year-old sterling

changed his name as an adult, he made his money in real estate, bought the clippers for $12 million. today the franchises worth 700 million. this not the first time he has been accused of racism. in 2006 the justice department sued him for refusing to enter blacks that he said attracted mermen and hispanics that smoke, drink and just hang around outside. he paid $2.7 million fine in 2009. the clippers effective sued sterling for employment discrimination after he told him he wanted to fill his team with "more black boys from the south." martha: what is next in this investigation? >> the ball up in the court of the nba commissioner who will make a decision by tomorrow before the clippers next playoff game against the golden state warriors here in l.a. protests are planned in l.a. be at they can suspended him from operating a team for a time. the league could force him to

sell the team without his consent, but only if he is insolvent, not for behavior that would result in a lawsuit. it could take over the team on the day to day basis. the owners could effectively freeze him out. according to the league bylaws, they cannot sue each other. players are not refused to play, four sterling that would violate the playing contract. but employers cannot find a player for opposing discrimination. >> it is bigger than basketball. we have an obligation to society. that is also why they are outraged because anything that paints or tarnishes this great game that we love so dearly, there's no place for that. there is a unanimous sentiment around that. >> these are all allegations, of course. the nba will against the authenticity of that tape. sterling's wife has obtained an

attorney. back to you. martha: more on this coming up. william, thank you be at bill: a fox news alert now. , is been michael graham arrested earlier today taken to fbi headquarters in new york city. he faces corruption charges. is this a big surprise, eric? good morning. reporter: good morning. investigations have been going on some time for michael grimm. as my he has a dubious distinction of being taken into custody to his former colleague. he represents new york city's staten island and parts of brooklyn on corruption charges on his business dealings. two of his fundraisers have faced charges over more than half a million dollars that he raised. allegedly using straw donors.

a mass never seen before. up to a million packing st. peter's square with pope francis with the retired public benedict. pope john xxiii, pope john paul the 23rd, fox news religion contributor on this, good morning to you. what did it mean to you to see that moment? >> 800,000 people is what they say was in the square. they went over there three hours before, she cannot even get into the square with that many people. it was historic because w we hae john paul ii, john the 23rd, people under the age of 65 don't remember. pope francis saying for some reason these two men are very important for us to remember as holy men going forward in the church. that going forward is fascinating. what is francis all about here.

bill: he really elevated the church in the modern age. why did francis choose to do it this way? >> it was a total surprise. john paul ii, john the 23rd was a surprise. he was revolutionary, as you said. he started vatican two. i believe pope francis is saying you know what, revolution isn't bad, it's not bad at all. in the presence of benedict giving us so much tradition, saying let's do it together, go forward. bill: and benedict is there as well. apparently they greeted each other twice during the ceremony. in st. peter's. what did his presence mean to you? >> benedict had the decision to retire. and because of his decision, we got pope francis.

he decided to be there in the presence of pope francis, he is saying hey, folks, this is one church, let's go forward together, the world needs the voice of the gospel. bill: they made that decision together. >> to be in each other's presence. awesome. bill: a very remarkable sight. probably one we will never see again. >> that's right. bill: breaking news back to martha. martha: the horrifying scene on a helipad. see what happens when this emergency responder became the emergency himself. bill: the donald sterling controversy making its way to the white house. we will show you what should happen and what could happen to the clippers owner. >> the united states continues to wrestle with the legacy of race and slavery and segregation. that's still there. ♪

bill: we have some surveillance video showing a frightening crash. this video of a medical helicopter trying to take off from the roof of a helicopter sell hospital. it crashes on the side of the landing pad. the pilot and two medics walked away without a single scratch. investigators blamed the crash on a mechanical problem, they will be okay. martha: a fox news alert on the crisis in ukraine. president obama announcing new sanctions against russia. they will target specific companies and individuals. we have had some of this before. this will go a little further according to the administration. chief correspondent ed henry is in the philippines. critics are saying these sanctions don't have the teeth they think are required. tell us about the reaction.

reporter: that's right. these targets, seven russian government officials, 17 russian companies that have ties to vladimir putin. so-called cronies of the russian president. a news conference here today, president obama said these sanctions do not target putin personally, necessarily, but that the goal instead is to change putin's calculus there on the ground in ukraine. but as you noted, republican critics like bob corker saying the president has been doubling here, and it may simply be too late to force putin's hand. >> what i fear is all we're doing is tweaking, folks. i am very concerned what we've seen from the administration on so many tough issues their policies are always late after the point in time we could have made a difference in the outcome. reporter: corker is pushing for tougher so-called sectorial

sanctions push in different sections of the russian economy like the banking industry. the president would first wants to have european leaders on board for those sanctions but is leaving the door open to eventually getting to those down the road, martha. martha: a lot of criticism the united states should go first. if they follow that way of handling this whole thing. you pressed the president at the news conference on a lot of issues coming up in the foreign policy. what did he have to say about that? >reporter: to have a series of negative stories about the president's foreign-policy approach. he has gotten attention on the trip about his mideast diplomacy failings, the red line in syria. so i asked him what is the obama doctrine after five years in office, what is the guiding principle for you? he pushed back saying i am

simply not highlighting some of the positive stories about the foreign-policy. listen. >> there are complement three pieces as well about my foreign-policy. i am not sure you ran them and that may not always attract a lot of attention, and it doesn't make for a good argument on sunday morning shows, but it avoids errors, you hit singles, he hits doubles every once in a while we may be able to hit a home run. reporter: you hear the president saying go for singles and doubles. the key for him is don't make a major mistake in foreign-policy. conservatives are mad at him that he won't go with military action when any foreign-policy just pops up. clearly this whole issue is on his mind. the question got him all worked up. martha: very interesting back and forth.

bill: how will republicans respond to obamacare? latest reaction from the senator in the studio today. martha: first responders helping after the devastation of the tomatoes over the weekend as people wake up this morning to disaster. >> this is unbelievable. i would have never guessed i would come back and see our whole shop and everything totally destroyed. ti-layered security solution to keep your information safe & secure. century link. your link with what's next.

martha: president obama now weighing in on this scandal that surrounds the l.a. clippers owner donald sterling after he was reportedly caught making some racist comments on tape. the president answered a question on the controversy during his news conference in malaysia over the weekend. >> when ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance commie don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk and that's what happened here. the united states continues to wrestle with a legacy of race and slavery and segregation. that's still there. the discrimination. we've made enormous strides, but you're going to continue to see this percolate up every so often. martha: with townhall.com, fox news contributor. richard fowler is a fox talkshow

host of his show as well. good to have you here. let me start with you, what did you make of the comments and of the president's reaction? >> i think the president's reaction was right on message, martha. you can ask the question, doesn't surprise me. every but he will look at the president to speak for the african-american community. i think he answered just right. we've overcome a lot, turned the corner on racial relations. effort prominent figure like this to make a statement like that is very disparaging, downright sad. martha: what do you think? >> i think the comments themselves were horrifying, but i reject what president obama says when he paints the united states a is still struggling with this idea of slavery and discrimination. the fact is race relations under president obama have gotten worse. he hasn't united us on that issue. when it comes to these small minorities of people like the

owner of the clippers allegedly said these comments, this is not something widespread, i reject this notion the united states as this country that openly discriminates and has a huge problem with race because we don't. the president is black, attorney general is black. for him to act like this is somehow a wider spread problem than it really is in a foreign country nonetheless only helps to divide that racial line further rather than bring us together. martha: do you want to respond to that? >> the president got asked a question. that doesn't even answer the question of whether we still dealing with racial issues of the country. you have folks making this type of comments, we still have to deal with race in this country. not saying it is a jim crow south or anything like that, but our country continues to grow. >> that is not true. you have voter id laws just like the jim crow south.

people at the highest levels of the government making statements like that which are absolutely not true. we have these isolated incidences that should be condemned but they are isolated incidences. one thing for the president to condemn these comments from a specific person for him to then go on and condemn united states as a whole of the country goes beyond the point. martha: whether or not they should be broadened out. you look at the ridiculously disparaging comments she made about jewish people, about gay people. it raises a question, this is an individual acting badly, and in this case they're going to to investigate, look to authenticate this tape, they will go through the process as the head of the nba, commissioner of the nba and figure out what kind of action to take given all of this, richard, what kind of action do you think he should take?

>> there are a lot of options on the table. it does not allow them to take away the team from him. we will have to see what the nba does. clearly the players are very offended by this. the act of coming together not wearing the clippers logo speaks to that. the whole league's outrage. when magic johnson speaks out, there is clearly outrage because the nba is a place you have always seen diversity and a celebration of diversity, for it to go to the opposite direction is absolutely horrible. martha: a suspension is a possibility unless the team is insolvent, they cannot take the team away from him under nba rules. a suspension along the lines? >> a suspension is probably in the works if they can prove this was him on the tape. he hasn't denied the comments but they haven't been able to prove it is him. i don't know what the rules are with the contracts and everything like that, but seeing a boycott from the players even

if he is given a suspension, it'll be hard for him to come back from this if he is the one speaking on those tapes. martha: we should point out there is a lawsuit going on, his girlfriend is being sued for embezzling $1.8 million from the family. we may see a situation similar to what we saw from his girlfriend on the left where he has been nudged out b the other members of the family from his leadership role in the team ownership situation. thank you very much for weighing in today. thanks as always. bill: back to our breaking news. mayflower, arkansas, picking up the pieces after a string of deadly twisters devastated their town. tim griffin, mayflower is in his district and he is with me now. that morning to you. >> good morning. bill: have you had a chance to see mayflower? >> yes. right shortly after the tornadoes passed by last night, i went up, first toured another

town in my district, and we met with the mayor, he told us about a neighborhood that no longer existed. i thought it was about 50 homes at the time, maybe 40 homes. went up there and looked at the neighborhood, some brick homes probably built in the last three years or so, the entire development completely gone. what was shocking, some of the homes were completely gone down to the concrete foundation. no sign of furniture, no sign, it is just incredible. awful. the first priority is life,

trying to make sure that everybody who can be taken out of the rubble or what have you is found, and the first responders obviously were there. we were there around 10:00 or so, maybe 9:00 something. the whole town was shut down. bill: 16 dead in arkansas in your state. how possible is it that number goes higher? >> daylight will reveal a lot that we were unable to see last night. i can tell you a lot of the work for the first responders, doing incredible work, is still dangerous. when we were out there, the stench of natural gas or that smell for the gas so you know it

is there was a very strong. you could hear it pouring out of the lines, so there was gas breaks. i know pretty sure they've got that pretty much secured now. they were powerlines not just small power lines, but major power lines right down through the middle of town. were down. you had similar circumstances in mayflower. just three years ago they were hit. i was up there that night, this looks to be far, far stronger tornado. bill: sir, thank you for your time, i know you were busy today. >> pray for arkansas. bill: indeed, we shall. prayers for everyone. martha. martha: if republicans do take the senate as some think will happen, what could happen to obamacare in that kind of scenario?

the senator is here with our take on that. bill: a frantic search for missing pilot after two planes collided in midair. >> probably lost a weighing and spun violently and hit the waters. and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply. polident kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains. that's why i recommend polident.

the law. kathy mcmorris rodgers saying we need to look at reforming the exchanges. it's a top down, one size fits all. consumers should have more coverage. senator rob portman is with me now in ohio. you have a big job trying to win back the senate for republicans. that may get to that in a moment. the headline from washington state is pretty interesting. there is no exact quote given to her saying it is going to stick around. so we reached out to her office moments ago, here is the statement. the headline is an accurate portrayal of what the congresswoman said in the interview, what her voting record reflects is what she believes. she will continue to work on repealing every opportunity moving forward and replace it with patient centered reforms. that brings us to you, all

republicans wav waiving the rigt flawhiteflag and surrendering wl fighting it? >> it is a bad law. the obamacare work, why do we find of the 8 million people they say they signed up, only 25% were previously uninsured. why do you look at what the congressional budget office says which is after 10 years of this law over a trillion dollars in spending, all the mandates still 30 million americans are still uninsured. so we think we can do better. the point is to replace it with legislation that does give people more opportunities to get coverage they want. bill: you're saying the phrase repeal and replace is still alive. >> definitely. if we get the majority, we should work with the house to pass legislation that appeals and replaces with better ideas. it may take a new president to do this because one that president obama is likely to be do what we are trying to do. but the sake of the american people, american families, the

economy, we have to change this law. we have repeal it and replace it with something better. bill: you are well in tune with the republican races. for november, can republicans win the majority? the answer is yes, the question is will they? >> there is a very good chance of it. you and i have talked about this, more democrats than republicans this year. the second is the map. a lot are in republican states think arkansas, louisiana and west virginia, with carolina, montana, south dakota, alaska, states like that. the mood of the country's negative on obamacare and should be because it is bad law. the president's approval rating is at record lows right now, so they are not liking what we see in d.c. people who run our in it for the right reasons, talking about what they are for, the need for reform obamacare, get rid of it, replace it.

those of the issues people care about. bill: reforming the exchanges, cap to mcmorris rodgers is talking about. is that part of your strategy? how would obamacare change? >> i don't think these changes are working. fewer than 25% of those who have signed up actually were uninsured previously. 5 million people who have lost their coverage, it is coverage they wanted for themselves and their families. these mandates put in place are not things most people want. they want something that works for them and their family increase in the cost dramatically. i personally think it is a failed model. we have to put in place better policies that allow people to keep what they have and allow people to get coverage who can't afford it. bill: on repeal and replace, what would you like to keep? >> there is some stuff in the law having to do with wellness.

republicans are interested in that. i am very interested in the health savings accounts as are most republicans. they took away some of the tax advantages and overall, bill, there is very little i can point to that is actually positive. the point is we have better ideas and ideas to get people coverage, to keep the health care cost down. which is a key issue. to allow people to get what they want. bill: when people say you are waving the white flag, that is not true. >> we can't for the sake of the american people. one thing that is happening with obamacare is more people are going to part-time, which is bad for the economy. people concerned about getting into obamacare keeping their the numbers down because there is a cap. these are bad for the economy. this is not a good law by its own standards, is on metrics.

after 10 years of this law the congressional budget office tes 30 million americans would be uninsured. after all the new mandates and all the new costs, it doesn't work. bill: welcome back to new york. in the studio. martha. martha: the u.s. economy is generating jobs, but it turns out most of them are low-wage jobs in strip malls and fast food joints, places like that. a stunning analysis of the economic recovery is straight ahead. bill: a search for missing pilot after two planes collide over san francisco bay. >> tragic, death spin like that. you can't jump out, you can't get away. it's really sad. i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com.

>> righted now, there are search and rescue teams working their way through central and southern states after a powerful stormed ripped through the area spawning several tornados. that is a eerie sound over mayflower arkansas. i am martha maccallum. >> and i will bill hemmer. good morning. more than a dozen people dead and emergency crews digging and and searching for survivors. the main focus is saving lives. in lin county, kansas they are

picking up the pieces. >> we could not see the tornado that went through here. but we saw another one. we put most of the stuff we tried to save in the barn and so it would be safe. but you would see how that worked out the whole barn is gone. we didn't constant communication with everybody. >> the town of mayflower in arkansas hit especially hard and that is where maria malina has been and watching you earlier today before the sun came up and now it is up today. what do you see around you? >> reporter: the debris is terrible out here in mayflower, arkansas. you can see there was business with a brick wall but the force brought it down.

we have steel that was manage mangled and forced under this truck. something went through this steel plate. over here, this tornado was so powerful and strong enough to stack two semi trailers together. this is showing the speed and force of the tornado. what appears to be part of a truck came into force into this steel and this is elevated. it is stuck on the to the bottom part of the semi trailer. we spoke to a police chief and he said it looked like a bomb went off. >> you hear folks say this is what you see on tv over and over. or refer to this as a bomb blast. that is accurate. the pictures you see, and what you see on tv doesn't do this

justice. >> reporter: we knew the risk was high in arkansas. the storm prediction center issued a high risk. we went to oklahoma, texas and arkansas and chased the tornados over the weekend and followed this storm system that impacted mayflower. we arrived a couple minutes after the tornado touched down. the sun was setting and people were being rescued along interstate 40. people are injuries and in the distance we could see fires. today the storm system continues and there is a threat that the chance of tornados is high enough and the threat might be issue issuing a high risk again.

that would be in tennessee and alabama. anywhere from parts of louisiana, up to the midwest, you have to potential for severe storms. have a way to get the warning. in mayflower, the worst happened last night. >> you were predicting it over the weekend and the conditions are ripe again today were the same thing. thank you for that report. >> the u.s. plans a new round of economic sanctions on russia in the wake of the ukraine crisis. president obama says they will target putin's inner circle and the companies they control. >> the goal here isn't to go after mr. putin personal. the goal is to change his

calculations on how to current actions he is engaging in in ukraine could impact the economy overall in russia and encourages him to walk the walk and not just talk to walk over resolving the crisis in ukraine. >> brett hume is here and he joins me. what is your reaction to the way the president handled that? >> i think what he is signaling is he, putin, can have his way with ukraine. the sanction are more of the same kind that the president and other nations have done. aimed at individuals but not whole sectors of the economy, which would make a larger difference. i would think the putin is

saying i can do this or they might taking further action if i go all of ukraine. but as far as eastern ukraine, he has has been waved through the gate. >> if you compare what he did and we did there is no contest. he has jets flying over the area, thousands of people mobilealized on the border down. exercises in poland to show what we might consider. when you add up the list there is no comparison to the action. >> and the president announced there is no real military action here and that maybe two -- true -- but there is no reason

to announce that. if you are dealing with a expansionist foreign leader like putin, it seems like you would want to keep him guessing. you might want him to fear what you might want to do. so it sounds like a remark that is no way intended to deter vladimer putin. >> this is an interesting point. this is a president who has told people he is going to end the wars he were in and he wasn't interested in going that route and keeping the country on a war war footing. you have covered presidency and dealing with russia for a long time. how far do you see this going in terms of how far vladimer putin will go? >> it isn't known.

but it isn't hard to see that putin wants to annex many of the states that are around there and many are nato and we have a pack with them that pledges our defense to them if they are under attack. so i would say does what we have done so far that it is going to get bad and the price will be extremly high were he to advance on any of those other countries. i think not. and the other question is if you have a set of sanctions you are prepared to impose on a dictator who is aggressive like this -- is it is a good idea to impose them gradually or all at once? which sends a stronger message?

i think there is a case for all at once sends the stronger message. >> and discussion on whether we should let the eu first move we should follow them. >> getting the eu to move given their entanglement is a tall order. this is hard. but that is when your leadership comes into play. can he do it? good question. >> brett, thank you very much. good to see you. >> now this report gives context on the economy recovery. low-wage jobs replaced the higher paying positions that once existed. in fact a million high paying jobs have been loss and two million low paying jobs have been added.

stuart varney is here. >> this report gives a low score to the obama administration. the level of jobs is going down. and this is coming from the left. it is from the national emp employment law project that skews left. it says to repeat your point 40% of all of the private jobs that are being created since the end of the recession are in fast food, low end retail jobs, strip mall service work ers. a total of 3.8 million jobs created and 1 million jobs like health care, finance and real estate is down. the middle class is being

squeezed. >> quickly, we are a service economy. >> yes. >> and maybe not a good one. >> yes, that is a statement of fact bill but the president's policy are tax the rich and legislate higher wages. that hasn't worked. >> see you in 49 minutes. thank you. >> all eyes are on the nba as the league is weighing action against donald sterling after this making these comments. >> if you want to broadcast you are associating with black people. you don't have to. >> you associate with black people. >> i am not you and you are not me. >> all right. so what is going fto happen to him? jim gray weighs in. >> she admitted to making mam

grams and now she will learn her fate. a secret list at the va hospital that vets waited on forever to get an appointment. the whistle blower talks to us live. >> i was screaming how dare you. do you know my father in law is dead? thank you, va. i am families, please come forward. no body be scared. it is all for good souls.

>> a former technician is going to jail for falsifying 1300 mammogram reports. she entered negative results indicating there was no cancer because ten of the mammogram

were filled. her continue said she filled them because she didn't want extra paperwork. she got six months in jail. up to 40 veterans may have died while waiting for care at the phoenix va. a doctor claimed that secret waiting lists have been created denying care to the veterans. hospital officials say the charge is completely false. >> i have never directed staff to do a secret waiting list. >> we have not found any cases related to delays in access or care. dr. sam foot is the doctor who is the whistler blower in this case and has been a physician with that va for 24 years.

good to have you, dr. foot. >> thank you. this starts around a scam that started in february of 2013 that we believe the director came up with to try to further her career. when new patients came in, the clerks would type in their information and rather than save it, they would do a screen print. it was transforwaerred to a sec list that the evade the va software which is how they track the waiting time so her numbers would let better. >> in the sound byte she said i never instructed anyone to create a secret list. how do you respond to that? >> there is documentation to

provide she knew about it as early as july 2013. if i can finish though, what happened was they got the waiting list down to take care of the new people and that freed up time to start working on the return patients because she was being scored by the va in july, august and september on the waiting time and by limiting the number of patients it acquired more new patients and they did scrubbing which is canceling patients. she got a $9,345. and where was the jaime roberts

and the others? did they know what was going on? or were they deceived from her? >> we have seen the tears and the outrage as the loved ones waited for months on end to get an appointment even. have you ever seen anything like what you are seeing now in the 24 years you worked there? >> no. this is a sad thing. it started in 2010 with the access getting worse and worse. one of the things that has me upset is we keep hearing the va upper management in washington whining where is the evidence. and i will tell you where it is. it is in the hands of the national va inspector general and they are out here in force in phoenix and they will get to the truth of this i do believe.

>> where do you think this is going to go? what do you think about the response from the administration in terms of wanting to crack down and find out what happened? has that been acceptable? >> the administration is defending it and cheryl lied to the media and senator. she said she had no idea about a list and first heard about it from representative miller but it truth is she new about it from at least july of 2013. they are defending this so hard because there is a secret that the phoenix va and washington don't want to let out and that is there is a huge mismatch between the demand for care in phoenix and phoenix va's ability to supply that care. and it isn't the employees, it isn't the patients, it isn't the

medical providers. it is the administrators. >> very sad story and comment on how we are treating people who fought in many cases were wounded and injured in defense of this country. dr. sam foot 24 years working in that hospital and thank you for coming on the show. ms. helmen you are welcome to come tell your story. >> 21 past the hour. and house speaker john boehner taking aim over immigration as fellow republicans: >> here is the attitude. don't make me do this. this is too hard. >> guess who is taking his hat off for the speaker now. one guess, one clue. and a kidnapper snatches a little boy but let's him go tha

number and reach of federal regulations being turned out by federal agencies is reaching highs. wane cruz compiles this is says they are costing you in ways you never expect. >> regulations cost $1.9 trillion if y break it down they cost close to $15,000 a year for the typical family. and if you think of $65,000 income the regulatory tax is 23% on the household. >> i checked on the government's own website and it has posted 6, 782 newly proposed federal regulatory action. >> it is getting longer. what is the administration's

position, shannon? >> the president has repeatedly said he is work to roll back the heavy regulatory state. in this 2013 is state of the i union address he said there is no question that some are out dated and costly and i have ordered federal session to eliminate the ones that don't make sense and lhe's signed off on some things. all of the these go into the federal register and the page counts are more than 70,000 and 4-5 highest years on record belong to this administration. >> holy cow. you have a long day ahead of you. >> lots of reading. >> back to reading. >> i bet it is fascinating, too. as we know today recovery efforts are underway after a

tornado that went through and caused the major damage, from my understanding was absolutely huge and moved very, very quickly. so even with the warnings, i am not sure in some of the cases it would have been quick enough. >> we are looking at cars that are upside down and houses no longer there. mayflower particularly hit hard. what other areas were hit hard? >> may fp flower right and we had vilonia. >> there is the picture where you can see the path it cut through. our thoughts and families are with the families of the 14 lost in your state.

think will happen? >> suspended indefinitely, and fined up to a million dollars. at the ends of the day when the sponsors and fans don't pay for it you will have the ultimate thing and that is players won't come. what players will come play for the los angeles clippers? the players drafted have to come but everybody else will not and that will be undoing unless steps forward. >> they will push him into a corner and make him feel uncomfortable and he let's go of control. that might happen. but there is a game tomorrow night in los angeles. does the league have to issue a response within 36 hours? >> i would think adam silver

doesn't want this to know to be in the news psychcycle. this is casting a huge shadow and overshadowing all of the great play and all of the other teams. i believe adam will have something before tomorrow's game at 7:30 pacific time. i believe he is going to be suspended for the rest of the playoffs and indefinitely and told not to come into the arena and issue a million dollar fine. cannot throw him out and they don't have anti-trust exemption. so he could go to court and get an injunction and prevent it. >> a lot of people are talking about the cincinnati case in the 1990's. but it isn't clear they forced

don't understand that politics is about winning. for the moment, from my perspective he is not the only one maocking these that are obstructing this. >> and we have joe trippi here and also our other guest who served on the reagan panel. ed, i thought it was interesting. he said there was a guy back there with the camera. he knew it was going to get attention. >> the first part was correct. i think john is going to have a rough week and a lot of members are going to be unhappy. you don't call out your own members. when you are the leader you do

it in private. immigration isn't going to get done right away and if we don't take the senate people will come back and blame boehner for this controversy when we are on the path to do better >> joe, what do you think? >> i think that boehner knew the camera was there and there is a strong division in the republican party with immigration. we saw this with marco rubio and why was the runner there and he exposed the friction there. and for boehner to do this the same way isn't going to be helpful to the partly. i lend with juan and very supportive of the speaker's

comments but i don't think they will be helpful. i think ed is right. if this division in the party and we are seeing it in the senate parties, it could be so divisive it hurts the chances of the party in the senate. >> immigration is toward the t bottom so you feel it is a mistake to bring it up >> i was very involved in the '86 resolution that took five years with reagan and bipartisan support to get it done and it was still very difficult. the only bill that is alive and well is the senate bill and that is not acceptable to the republicans. it is a controversial bill and

they should take time to do this after the election. i love juan and joe but either are voting republican. my sense is thank you for your talk but change your registration. >> i want to get your thoughts on what i think was an interesting piece about a race in california. carl demayo is democrats name and he is running in a june 3rd primary. but he has an interesting story. lost his parents, built two multi-million corporations but cold them. but he is openly gay, in a committed relationship running for office. and she is pointing out the heat is from liberals and some left-wing group funded a center

pac that sent pictures of him next to a drag queen to neighbors that wouldn't like that. do you think there is a double standard for quality? joe, let me start with you. >> i think the tactic you describe was repugant and shouldn't have happened and there should be no place. >> but it is significant it comes from the left. because god forbid any conservative say something they are offended by. they will be all over them. and it happens on both sides. but the fact this man, who is running for office, can't get credit for being who he is and saying theori these are my politics and don't attack me based on my sexuality.

>> we should. this is the 57th congressional district in san diego. the congressman is named scott peters and defeated a republican. it is a competitive district. california is a strange system. it doesn't have you run as a democrat or republican in the primaries. it is the top two voters. so anything they can do to distract this candidate from doing well is to the benefit of the democrats. >> i encourage everyone to take a look at dana's piece about quality. >> so the power of music and faith. a little boy kidnapped and let go after singing a gospel song
