8:00 am
bill: the last time we saw jack bauer he was in a world of hurt. martha: looking forward to him being back. bill: we'll catch you tomorrow. martha: bye, everybody. see you tomorrow. jenna: all eyes on capitol hill this monday morning as we soon learn will head up a special congressional committee investigating benghazi. hello, everybody, i'm jenna lee, welcome to "happening now." jon: i'm jon scott. the announcement could come at any moment. the select committee expected to expand into the 2012 terror attack that left four americans dead. also dig deeper into an alleged cover-up by the white house. meantime some democrats and republicans clashing over the need for another probe into the attack. >> i think it is a colossal waste of time. we've had four bipartisan
8:01 am
investigations of this already. i don't think it makes sense for to us give this select committee anymore credibility than it deserves. >> this is absolutely essential. if the democrats boycott it, doesn't take part in it, it shows they either have something to hide or afraid to discuss this issue in the public light. it should not be a partisan issue. it really should not. it is four americans killed. that is the issue here. jon: let's talk about it with bret baier. he is of course the anchor of "special report." there has been talk of this committee for, really ever since the attack, bret, but speaker john boehner resisted until now. what seemed to tip the balance? >> jon, good morning. the speaker's office is saying release of this email from the white house, white house aide ben rhodes with briefing of then u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice before she went out on the sunday talk shows. the fact that the email did not come out when it was subpoenaed
8:02 am
by congress, the fact it took foia and then a judge to make that release happen, and then when it got up to capitol hill before that, it was redacted. so that holding back of that information and then some other questions and pressure from republicans who believed there is a lot more to look at, i think speaker boehner is moving forward with this. the going bet, jon, that congressman trey gowdy from south carolina will head up this committee. the really question is whether democrats sign on to it or whether they boycott it. jon: yeah. because we heard that from representative adam schiff there, the speculation that democrats might just stay home. can they do that any mean can they refuse to submit members, submit names for the committee? how would it all look? >> yeah, that can happen. it would be interesting if it did happen. obviously there is significant push back from democrats not just congressman schiff but others. release from senate majority leader harry reid and nancy pelosi talking about this,
8:03 am
saying it's a waste of time and taxpayer money. there is big pushback. whether they go so far as to not isn't any names for a special committee would be interesting. especially red state democrats that face tough races. as you know, polls show 60 plus percent believe congress should still keep investigating. there are unanswered questions on a number of fronts. jon: well there are a lot of unanswered questions and there are unanswered promises. the president having said we would get to the bottom of the benghazi attacks, find those responsible and bring them to justice. none of that has happened. >> yeah, comes down to about four different acts now. it was three, now four. first is the security ahead of tile. why was it so minimal? why was additional security turned down after multiple requests including from ambassador stevens. two, the response that night. not, could they have gotten there in time, but why wasn't,
8:04 am
why weren't a number of things initiated, that many in the intelligence and military community believe could have been started? not analysis of whether they could have prevented the attack or gotten there in time. three, the talk about it and what republicans charge is a political cover-up ahead of the november election. and they knew, in the earliest hours that this was a very specific terrorist attack. they even knew who was behind it. there were target lists being developed. and four, as you mentioned, the fact that two years later there is no one arrested, no one who has been killed as a result of trying to track down who was responsible. jon: hillary clinton famously asked when she was testifying before the one congressional committee, what difference does it make? well it could make a big difference in her presidential aspirations of course if in fact that probe goes on into the fall and really does develop some of the information, some of the answers. >> yeah. i mean i think the administration is to point out
8:05 am
that they acknowledge this was a tragedy. they acknowledge this was a horrible thing. they would like the focus, they say to be on securing these facilities going forward, and the political impact of it is, not hard to see, right in front of you, especially with the potential of a hillary clinton candidacy. you know secretary clinton is expected to lay out her role in benghazi in this new book out june 10th. that will be an interesting read. i think for people who have been following this from the beginning. jon: bret baier, lots to talk about tonight on "special report." we expect we'll get the announcement of that special committee between now and then. bret, thank you. >> sure. jenna: another big news story today, more bloodshed in ukraine. the interior minister says at least six ukrainian personnel were killed in fierce gun battles with pro-russian fighters in a key eastern city. leland vittert is live in ukraine with the latest. >> reporter: good morning,
8:06 am
jenna. this is quickly escalating from an insurgency to all-out civil war in eastern ukraine. we just got back from the battlefield. for the first time both side are really pulling out their heavy weapons in this fight that they say they are in it to win. the last ukrainian check point before the pro-russian strong hold of slaviansk. this is the first time we've really seen the you rainian army trying to lay siege -- ukrainian. they are checking every car, turning a number around. five armored personal carriers in fighting position. the soldiers appear to be heavily armed and certainly on guard. give you a sense the battlefield there, that right there, that ridgeline is the town around we've seen incoming rounds go in. helicopters overhead from the ukrainian military. just over there is the television tower that the ukrainian military recently retook. the question going forward, these guys who set up and clearly ready for battle are
8:07 am
going to actually move into the town where clearly as pro-russians have said, it would be a long and bloody battle to retake that town. right now, as you look at the battlefield situation, these pro-russian militants claim to be citizen soldiers but they are certainly well-armed. just today, jenna, one more ukrainian helicopter shot down. the question for ukrainians going forward is the balancing act we've been talking about, using enough force to take back control of this part of the country without giving russia is pretext to invade as they threatened to do. back to you. jenna: this story continues to develop. leland, thank you. jon: well it is only may but america's election headquarters is gearing up for a very big day tomorrow when two of the nation's premier battleground states, ohio, north carolina, hold primaries. plus voters in indiana also head to the polls. chief political correspondent
8:08 am

8:09 am
mike huckabee. till lis is hoping to reach 40%. otherwise runoff of top two in three weeks but republicans want to get after hagen. in ohio, knows the best way to run for president is to get reelected governor in one of the most important states in presidential politics. the democrat is ed fitzgerald. he is expected to win democratic primary. in ohio, house speaker john boehner is on the ballot. considered safe across the board for re-election a lot of tea party groups have been circulating petitions to try to out of him. indiana votes tomorrow. the no u.s. senators. governor is not up. mike pence is looking to run for governor in 2016 too. nine congressional seats are up for bad. nine republicans and two democrats running for re-election. they're considered safe in their primaries and re-election. whoser state looks like it will stay pretty close where it is at
8:10 am
right now. jon? jon: carl cameron. thank you. jenna: a massive wildfire in the central part of oklahoma is forcing people out of their homes. so far it burned more than 4,000-acres and destroyed at least six homes. fire crews say this all started north of oklahoma city yesterday when a controlled burn got out of hand a 56-year-old man was found dead in his hope. firefighters are working through the night. they have been working through the morning to control the flames. right now they're saying it is at least 75% contained. still quite a story there in oklahoma. jon: you played college softball. jenna: i did. jon: did you ever have a ball go whizzing by your head, that kind of thing? jenna: yeah. you're not a true player, jon. jon: listen to this some danger from outer space. aster road the size after double-decker bus hurt tells past earth this weekend. why this thing went undetected until it whizzed by our collective heads? also the serious concern it is
8:11 am
raising. an airshow stunt goes horribly wrong. what happened right before the deadly crash? we're live with the story. plus high drama at "the blade runner" murder trial in south africa. we learn what oscar pistorius said and did right after he shot and killed his girlfriend. his neighbor's powerful testimony up next. >> you see an expression on his face, an expression of sorrow. expression of pain. he's crying. >> how -- >> to keep it locked. woman: this is not exactly what i expected. man: definitely more murdery than the reviews said. captain obvious: this is a creepy room. man: oh hey, captain obvious. captain obvious: you should have used hotels.com. their genuine guest reviews are written by guests who have genuinely stayed there. instead of people who lie on the internet. son: look, a finger. captain: that's unsettling. man: you think? captain: all the time. except when i sleep.
8:12 am
which i would not do here. hotels.com would have mentioned the finger.

8:15 am
stepping down. the retail giant announcing a partnership with mastercard for more secure chip and pin technology for your cards. asker to rid just like this one narrowly weeking by all of us on saturday -- asteroid. it was just, just 200,000 miles away. that is closer than the moon. it is raising big concerns why it wasn't detected until days before its arrival. jon: that is not a baked potato. that is an actual asteroid. dramatic new testimony in "the blade runner" murder trial. the trial of oscar pistorius just resumed after a two-week recess. today his neighbor's daughter took the stand, detailing scene and what the athlete told her immediately after the deadly shooting. >> from the second i walked into that house, he was frantic. he just, he just wanted to get her to the hospital and i told him no, can you please, when you got her to the bottom of the stairs, just put her down, just put her down, so we can see what is wrong. i'm sorry, my lady i apologize.
8:16 am
>> are you sure you can proceed? >> yes, i'm sure. just a minute. he was begging me to put her in the car -- [inaudible] jon: our pan in the courtroom paul tilsley watched all of the testimony live. he joins us on the phone. paul? >> reporter: jon it was mostly a good day for the defense, starting with the father of the young woman who you just heard. stander is a friend and neighbor of oscar pistorius and the first person the athlete called after the shooting. stander testified pistorius called him, pleading, please, please, come to my house. i shot reeva. i thought she was an an incruder. please come quick. when stander and his daughter got to pistorius's house, jon, he told the court he saw a scene he would not like to experience again. "the blade runner" coming down the stairs with reeva in his arms. he said, you can see the expression on his face. he is crying. he is praying. he is asking god to help him. with "the blade runner" hunkered
8:17 am
down in the dark, rocking his hands over his ears, stander dramatically went into this scene in great depth. >> he was torn apart. broken. desperate. bleeding. >> reporter: stander's daughter went on to further support pistorius's case, she heard a man screaming for help repeatedly. jon? jon: it has been a powerful case for the prosecution to this point. these were defense witnesses. was it sort of a slam-dunk day for them? >> well, not necessarily jon. right back at the bail hearing. prosecutors here told fox news it doesn't matter who pistorius shot. today, stander has been yet another witness to say pistorius told him he fired after thinking
8:18 am
reeva was an intruder. the state's view is that even if pistorius did think he was shooting an intruder. that is no defense. it is still murder, jon. jon: still interesting too, the first phone call he makes is to a neighbor and not to the authorities. >>and a neighbor who was former manager of the estate and a nabe for a good friend of his, who some say was a mentor to oscar pistorius. so it's very peculiar that he was the first person that was called, jon. jon: paul tilsley, who is in the courtroom in south africa as "the blade runner" murder trial goes on. the paul, thank you. we'll have much more on the "blade runner" murder trial and impact of the neighbor's testimony has on the case against oscar pistorius when our legal panel weighs in in our second hour of "happening now." also our live chat such and running. we want to hear from you. what does the pistorius defense team need to do to get back momentum in this case? go to foxnews.com/happeningnow.
8:19 am
go to america's asking and you can participate in the chat. >> how british police hope to find answers in the madeleine mccann disappearance. we'll have latest on that. plus is it the fountain of youth? it is a big question. how youngblood could really be the key to slowing down the aging process. maybe even reversing it. we're going to talk to a lead scientist on one of these studies and explain it all to you after the break. ♪ i saw this red, blistery, rash and i felt this horrle pain on one side of mback. i d 16 magic shows to do. i didn't know how i wasoing to be able to do these shows with this kind of painhat i was in. i told mwife what i had. she went on the internet and said "i think you have shingles."

8:23 am
jon: right now, british police hope to find new clues in the 2007 disappearance of three-year-old madeleine mccann. their efforts will take them back to the resort in portugal where her family was staying when she disappeared. patti ann browne in the new york newsroom with more on this. >> that's right, jon. back in 2007 madeleine mccann was three years old when she disappeared from the resort in portugal where she was staying with her british family. she was never found and british investigators are reportedly not convinced portuguese authorities have done all they can. so now, scotland yard detectives plan to launch extensive digs in and around the resort area.
8:24 am
madeleine's parents told reporters, police are not acting on a specific tip. they just plan to use radar equipment to search for forensic clues in the case. "the daily mirror" reports that british detectives are investigating a suspected pedophile ring they believe was active in the area at that time. the paper says there were 18 break-ins at the villas between 2004 and 2010. nine of those reportedly involved sexual assaults against british girls as young as 10. an international warrant is out for a 77-year-old man who jumped bail in australia in 2012 in another case. jon? jon: patti ann browne, in the newsroom, thanks. >> this is quite an exciting story today. some are calling it vampire therapy. others see it potentially as the fountain of youth. new studies finding that youngblood, real, young blood, can improve and reverse aging process in mice. the question, can it do the same
8:25 am
thing in humans. we have a neuroscientist and facultity fellow at university of california in san francisco and author of one of the studies. doctor, great to have you on the program today. >> thank you. thank you for having me. jenna: tell me a little bit about your part of the study. what did you do? what did you find? >> yes. so this study was initiated in the lab at stanford and continued at my own lab at ucsf. by giving blood plasma. , we took out cells, just factors that are let, administering to mice that are older we could see improvements in learning and memory. to put it in sort of a human context, the type of memory we looked at in mice is spacial learning and memory. the example i drive every day to ucsf, i have my car in the parking lot. i usually have a view of golden gate bridge and near an elevator and electric car charger near me. i go for the work in the day and my brain uses those cues,
8:26 am
elevator, to find my car. as we get older we have hard time doing this. you see people with car alarms trying to find it using alarm. you start noticing that with age. so that is sort of same thing, that concept is what we can actually study in mice, using a water maze. we have spacial cues. hidden platform and put mice in the water maze and how well they find the platform using cues around the room. a younger mice can find it really well. older mice takes a lot of time and has lot of errors than younger mice. jenna: you have older mice and give them some young blood from younger mice. how young exactly was the blood you gave the older mice? >> yeah. so, roughly equivalently to someone in their 20s. then the old mice were more along the line of their 60s. jenna: so when you gave the mice the young blood, how did they brave? what was their change in performance? >> yeah, so, those i am parents that we saw, the fact they made
8:27 am
more errors and fact they took longer, we no longer saw that to the same extent. so they weren't quite as good as young mice that are three months old but they're much, much better than they normally would be 18 months older mice are. jenna: does this take one blood transfusion for lack after better word, you might have a better word, doctor? how much blood did you need to gift older mice a little boost? >> we did this two different ways. at stanford we did intravenous injections. we did eight injections 5% volume over 24 days. close to a month and we did testing. at ucsf we did another technique, intraorbit tall injections, it still gets into the bloodstream. same results. different places. jenna: how do you begin to test this in humans? >> that's a great point n a controlled clinical trial environment, the doctor is just a cofounder of a company called
8:28 am
alcahes. they're actually really, really interested translating this toward human therapeutics. jenna: playing out high poe threat ticks this is a hypothetical situation, we haven't done this for humans yet, what would be the potential for human beings if it actually works in human beings? >> if works to translate over, we would take impairments we normally see and maintain the brain at younger state. i really think that's key because there is neurodegenerative diseases. we get the impairments later in life. we don't get them when you're younger. if we keep the brain younger we may coin interact before the -- counteract bench the disease onset. we may use the own ability when they're younger to counteract those things by keeping an old brain younger. >> so fascinating. would you try this, doctor? if you could volunteer, to be part of the study would you try it? >> i think if they showed me exactly what they were going to
8:29 am
do and told me exactly what they're going to give me and i had doctors and physicians there, then we'd talk. jenna: okay. i just had to ask because you're close to the reserve. it's so interesting to think about that. i know our viewers had a lot of questions. we got great ones on twitter. i want to ask you a quick one. we have seen blood therapy used for example, for injuries in athletes, p are p they call it. use treatment for your blood and put it back into the area where you're injured. i've seen kim kardashian got a blood facial. i know we're covering a lot of different ground here. seems there is something in the blood that is resonating with researchers. but this really came from decade ago. we're sort of picking it up. can you tell our viewers a little bit about that? and where you see potentially the limitations. >> absolutely. you know, our work really stemmed from a growing body of work that's about a decade old where they looked at muscle and liver and in a lab and they looked at these stem cells,
8:30 am
adult stem cells could be rejuve united. we did a study with dr. cory, we saw neurostem cells, brainstem cells could be rejuvenated. that is why we moved on to look at things like cognition. multiple studies really suggest there is something in blood that is very special i think. whether it is just one factor or whether it is multiple factors there is still so much research that needs to be done of the bottom line there is something in blood that obviously can have a big impact on aging. jenna: thank you so much for getting up this morning on the west coast. we're fascinated by your research. look forward to having you back. >> thank you so much. jenna: we'll check in with you and talk to you soon. jon: breaking news on a case we told you about here on "happening now." cornelius mike anderson, convicted of taking a bb gun to rob a fast-food manager in 2000 but they never went to jail. they lost his paperwork and
8:31 am
never sent him to prison until recently. breaking news on his case in just a moment. the obama administration facing harsh criticism for its foreign policy decisions, the ukraine, failed negotiations in the middle east. we'll look at all of that. plus, disaster at a california airshow. a biplane plunges to the ground as the crowd watches in horror. >> watch him and -- >> oh. >> oh, man. >> all right, everybody stand still. stay right where you are. do not move. ur rate cd that wothat's correct.a rate. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons. look, you don't have to feel trapped

8:34 am
8:35 am
jon: a fox news alert and an update to a story we've been following closely here on "happening now." cornelius michael anderson took a bb gun to rob a fast food manager. he was convicted of armed robbery but the sentence was never imposed, even though he notified the court through his lawyer that he was waiting to go to jail. he went on to kind of turn his life around, became a successful builder, got married, had a family and then all of a sudden, the state of missouri came calling. 13 years later, sent a s.w.a.t. team in to arrest this man who had been in no further trouble and sent him off to prison. well, his attorneys appealed and just now we got the word that a
8:36 am
missouri judge has freed him. cornelius mike anderson is supposed to be getting out of jail, out of prison any moment now. that based on the decision of a missouri judge. he gets his freedom immediately. we'll keep you updated as we learn more. jenna: we're going to want to talk to him and find out how things are going. he's been in prison since summer waiting for this decision. things are heating up on hill. house speaker john boehner could name the person who will head up a select committee investigating benghazi. our chief congressional correspondent jon:s us live from capitol hill where all the action is. mike, what is the latest on the announcement? >> well, i'm told that it is likely today and the name i've been hearing since friday morning, south carolina republican congressman is the pick that a lot of people want to see to head this select committee. a lot of people think this
8:37 am
former federal prosecutor worked as a federal prosecutor for six years, is the right individual to lead this benghazi select committee. >> well, i hope somebody like trey does it, former federal prosecutor, good relations with democrats, hard working guy. i don't know who is the speaker is going to pick but somebody of that caliber. >> the speaker can decide whether he thinks an old washed up prosecutor from south carolina is good or not but i'll help the committee regardless of what position, if any, i have. i will volunteer to be a summer intern. >> his family has three pets. judge, jury and bailiff are the names of his dogs so a real law and order kind of guy. jenna: good to know he's available for summer internship if needed. mike, what about the democrats? they came out, fox news sunday, chris wallace did an interview with adam shipp and he broke the news that maybe democrats will not participate in this process. what are you hearing about that? >> i've been in touch with leadership aides who have not
8:38 am
heard from the republicans on the make jum, the composition of the select committee, the ratio of republicans to democrats but as you mentioned already, a house democrat is saying they should not participate. >> i think it's a colossal waste of time. we've had four bipartisan investigations like this already and i think it's driven by a couple of things. the republican conference is so fractured, there's only two things they agree on. they don't like obamacare and they do like talking about benghazi. we've had four investigations about that. >> already today one key house republican says that if they don't participate, the democrats, that it shows they have something to hide or are afraid of what might be uncovered. jenna: we'll see what happens. mike, thank you. jon: the white house is coming under fire, it seems, on the foreign policy front with the obama administration taking heat over everything from the crisis in the ukraine to the mideast peace process. is the criticism warranted?
8:39 am
let's talk about it with jim pinkerington, writer for conservative may go sglen and alan colmes is host of the alan colmes show and author of thank the liberals for saving america. what do you think? is there criticism to be levelled at the white house or are the media giving the president an abnormally hard time? >> both. >> can't have it both ways. >> well, there is criticism to be levelled and -- tl is also the media and sometimes focuses on the wrong things. let's take benghazi. i think there is a focus on benghazi to be appropriate to talk about in terms of what went wrong. they should never have invaded benghazi and decided who the government should be because the lack of control led to security issues in benghazi. that is what caused the issue and what we should be focusing on with benghazi is how do we make sure going forward that there's enough security at embassies and consulates so this
8:40 am
doesn't happen again? the media rarely points out this happened 13 times under the bush administration where americans died and embassies and consulates were attacked. the media has not focused on these particular issues. jon: what do you think? are the media missing the focus here? >> i think it's -- you mean jim, i think. jon: i did mean jim and i'm sorry. it's monday. >> you get us confused. i understand why. >> we're both wearing glasses. skipping elsewhere to the middle east, i was amazed that mainstream media didn't pick up on an article by a very respected israeli journalist who writes in which he quoted an unnamed american peace -- quote, peace negotiator saying, you know, it's a shame there wasn't -- that maybe we'll need another intifada, another palestinian terror wave and this american official saying we need that to bring the peace process together
8:41 am
again. it's a crazy statement and the mainstream media didn't touch it. it was probably too damaging to the obama administration. jon: this one goes to alan colmes. can you point to a place where you think, you know, relations are better? we've got russia gobbling up parts of another sovereign country, threatening to get more and what are the foreign policy confesses? >> what would the republicans do? have invaded? go and start a war? i mean, it's easy to be critical of what is not being done but what would the other side do that's different or better? have relations improved? i think john kerry making a noble effort between the israelis and the palestinians. until any administration realizes that israel has illegally made settlements in the west bank, it's going to be hard to do. "new york times" pointed out relationships with the iran and
8:42 am
possibly have a nuclear deal have advanced par beyond where it's gone previously. there are advancements being made. base in the philippines hardly gets any attention. it's not a toughest spot in the world but there are accomplishments not being focused on by the media. >> let's not lose track of what the obama administration really cares about. the reason we're not bothering russia is because they're worried on climate change. it's on the front page of "the washington post" today, dramatic, bold article about the president's dramatic actions to stop the co 2 molecule. this is what they care about, fighting climate change is as important as fighting the russians or the chinese or iranians or whatever and the mainstream media are laughing it up. they love it. >> what do you mean? that's not accurate he's not doing a thing. he's tightening the economic noose, trying to get allies together to go against what russia is doing in the ukraine. what would republicans be doing?
8:43 am
>> they would do what reagan did, increase energy production and obama is trying to shrink energy production. >> we have more oil production than previously. >> the obama administration has fought it every step of the step >> they've been promoting it. it's happening now. jon: this has not been a petroleum friendly administration. most of that increased drilling has taken place on private land. >> it's promoting green energy which has to be our future. if we want to solve our foreign policy issues, we can't be dependent on foreign oil. >> we are not. we have $128 trillion in u.s. lands. jon: obviously we have two guys going and we'll have to continue this discussion tomorrow. alan colmes, jim pinkerington, thanks. jenna: let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. hi, guys. >> hey. well, former secretary of state
8:44 am
condoleezza rice pulling out of a college graduation ceremony, why she says she had to do it and what it says about our ability to hold a dialogue. >> plus the first lady's healthy lunch rules are leaving a bad taste in the mouths of some students and it seems that some of the schools actually agree. >> super model carol alt how men and women have different ideas of what the perfect body looks like. >> plus our hashtag one lucky guy is here, outnumbered is up at the top of the hour. >> i like to see who gets that seat. jenna: see you soon. the company behind the popular sports drink power ade is now eliminating a controversial ingredient. you probably didn't even know you were drinking it. i certainly didn't. we'll tell you what and who prompted the change coming up.
