his mother and his ability and his moment to thank her. it is his first time mvp award. lebron james was second and he was very happy for ckevin. >> thank for sharing that. we have to run. >> fox news alert from capital hill on the benghazi scandal with new details about the select committee tasked with investigating the deadly terr terrorist attack. i am jon scott. >> and i am jenna lee. in less than three years, the house committee will create the resolution to get the details on what happened before and after the attack of the murder of four

americans. catherine is live with more >> a short time ago the house speaker, john boehner, announcing why the republican house leadership has elected to take the investigation to the next level. >> this is a serious investigation. our system of government depends on transparency and accountability. we owe it to the future of our country and to the next administration to do our job. to make it clear that types of activities that may have gone on here are not acceptable in our system of government. >> this morning we are learning new details about the select committee that investigate the lead up to the attack itself including the way the government characterized the situation to the american republican. 12 members, 7 republicans, and 5

democrats on the committee. there is no deadline but the idea is they will issue the report before the session con venes in january. nancy pelosi are considering whether they will participate in the committee or boycott the process in an effort to undermine the select committee. there is a call for democrats to boycott and stay out of the committee. >> we will see what happens this time around. more throughout the day from catherine and much more on the benghazi scandal and the house select committee that will investigate it. we will talk to a man in moments some see as the committee special council and he is going to tell us why he is not not the right choice and who might be. we are awaiting the release

of a bombshell report on how your tax dollars are spent. the pig book reveals government waste and the news conference is going to start any minute. john mccain, jeff flake and ted cruz are some who will attend. >> does that make you thing of bacon or just me was i am pregnant? >> it kind of does. i didn't have any this morning. >> it is always an interesting book. even more action on capital hill, the house could vote on whether to charge lois lerner with contempt congress. all of this is coming as the commissioner of the tax agencies is appearing now before lawmakers. we are monitoring this testimony and will bring you developments. and two big hears on

obamacare. the senate is hearing from the operating chief from the center of medicaid and medicare. the agency responsible for the website requesting a budget for 2015. and hearing from insurance executives on the latest enrollment figures and how many obamacare customers have paid the premiums. >> and they told the new york times that 80% of new obamacare enrollee are paying for the coverage but there were many p duplicates in the total sign-up numbers. that is because consumers that tried to enroll once might have enrolled more. >> results are in after

primaries in three states, including two big battle grounds in the 2012 election. one key race in company saw tom tillis defeat several challengers to run against kay hagan. republicans think she is vulnerable because of her position on obamacare. they hope to win it to take back the majority. carl is live for us. tom tillis wants to knock off hagan. can he do it? >> no question about it. and the gop's chances are stronger because he got more than 40% to delay the distraction and beat his tea party rival 2-1. north carolina was one battle ground state the president

carried in 2009. hagan backed obamacare, stimulus and climate issues. this is tillis last night. >> we need to be clear, though, this isn't the end of the prima primary. it is the beginning of the primary mission: which is to beat hagan and make reed a relevant american. >> primary mission on the national level and politics were in place. jeb bush backed tillis but rand paul backed the tea party canada and mike huckabee was behind the third person who failed. in ohio, boehner won with 69% of the vote but that is down from

past margins. we will get a much better idea of where things stand between the gop and the mainstream of the party over the next eight weeks. there are a bunch of primarys and the polls show most are safe and the gop is in a good position to take more positions in the house and make take to senate. tom tillis has been neck-and-neck with hagan for week and mow he has the boost of the victory and will look better as the polls come. >> he doesn't have the challenge of fighting off primary c contenders now. karl rove and joe trippi is here to talk about the primary election and a key look aheadatt kentucky and georgia races.

we talked about the primary race in north carolina but we have to look at the democratic primary in the same state. clay aikin, american idol winner, is in a rough off with keith crisco. they will find themselves in a match up with elmers. aikin is a competitor. >> he has a lot of name recognition. the head of the department of veteran affairs refusing calls to step down and two other top va executivexecutives who have under fire for days following the repeated allegations of mismanagement of seven va hospitals including in phoenix and fort collins, colorado where the delays led to the death of dozen of veterans.

some lawmakers say it is not acceptable >> our veterans are loosing hope that the va will care for them. it is clear that the dysfunction is extending from the top to the bottom at the highest head quarter and down to local levels in some medical facilities. >> we have the chief correspondant for the washington examiner here. eric isn't going to resign and he has substantial support on capital hill, does he not? >> he does. but i think over time that could change although it may take longer to change. he was a poplar four star general, former secretary of the army, war hero injured during service so there is a lot of reason to throw support behind him. it isn't like the veteran's

administration was running well before he got there. he has been there since 2009. many veterans need help and the turn around isn't happening. you have heard a trickling of calls for his resigning. no democrat is on board with that but there is an inspector general report due to come out and other investigations by the house and senate and the evidence here is appalling. you are talking about 40 people died because of mismanagement. shr shredding of documents and false list. this demands change. you may see more calls for r regsignation. >> when the allegations of secret waiting lists and veterans dying for care, when

those came to light, people jumped into action. dr. robert pretzel is in charge of va care, head of health services, he testified yesterday before the senate and had this to say: >> we found no evidence of a secret list to date and no patients who have died because they have been on a wait list. >> so if that turns out to be the case, i mean the va is running its own investigation and apparently says some of this appears to be overblown. >> that is what is so outrageous about this. it is the va that is conducting the ig report. can we trust what they are saying? you have other independent doctors saying they have been shredding evidence about the waiting list congress is trying to investigate. so what maybe required is an

outside investigation too what is going on with the va. you are looking at a 200 day wait for veterans. people are dying and you have two groups calling for him to resign. if we don't see changes happening quickly, that the drum beat will grow louder for him to step down >> there are millions of people in this country who rely on the va and the veterans who have served and, you know, done some honorable are expecting they will get the care they need. the fact this has been reported at centers all over the country, it seems like a systemic problem throughout the organization. >> that is a great point. fort collins and phoenix and other places where i think what you are seeing is a real effort to hide the fact that they are

not able to get handle on the amount of care need and the amount of people there to handle the care. in fort collins they were trying to prove they were meeting the 14-day wait requirement and that wasn't happening. so the staff was instructed about ways to get around that and show they are meeting it when they are not. the more it is being reported and the more evidence out there. mitch mcconnell is saying this maybe a good time to replace the leadership at the top. it just depends how quickly eric can pivot and shows an approach to clean up the va. so far waiting for the ig report but that is not going to be enough >> the american legion wants him out.

funny, there was no mention of hail in the weather report... (vo) celebrate this memorial day with up to 40% off hotels at travelocity. (gnome) go and smell the roses. >> a quick update on stories we are following on happening now. another red flag remains in effect in western oklahoma.

could be seeing temperatures up to 100 there. a tense stand off at a juvenile facility in tennessee. no one was hurt. the white house was briefly on lockdown after a car carried the motorcade carrying the president's daughter on to the ground. the driver is an employee at the treasury department. it isn't clear why he wasn't stopped at the white house security checkpoint. and moments ago, a surprise announcement from vladimer putin saying russian troops have pulled back from the border. that says nato is responding saying they have no evidence of russian troop movement and neath does the appellant gone.

leland is live. >> this is a change in rhetoric by the russian leader but it hasn't changed anything on the ground. the united states and nato hasn't seen pull back of the 40,000 russian troops who are on the border waiting for the order to invade eastern ukraine. nor have swe seen a change in te russian stronghold whe. there are 800 fighters held up and they tried to break out of the siege by the ukrainian military that has been laid there. the ukrainians haven't pushed their way in at the same time. we don't know how this will

change the views of the pro-russian separate. may 11th there is a referendum they want to have about cob c conceding into their own country. vladimer putin says they should not good forward with that but they said they will but the date is changing. and president putin seemed to embrace the ukraine presidential elections scheduled for may 25th which earlier they had dismissed as something that could not happen under the amount of violence. there has been a lot of change in the russian rhetoric, the question is if the changeeris w

have an effect on the ground. we have to wait 24-48 hours to see that. thank you. primaries wrapped up in key battleground state. and what they tell us about the midterm. and as we get new details about the house committee for benghazi operation. we will talk live to the man who people are saying should be the special commander of the committee. >> from an ethical standpoint i think it would be wrong to consider it because one thing you don't want to have is someone who is out doing comments and made conclusive statements about what he thinks has a gone own here. has a gone own here. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well:

back to the top story. the house committee is taking shape for the benghazi council and my next guest has been labelled as who should be the heder of it. andy mccarthy is here. a former prosecutor who headed up the investigation on the suspects in the 9/11 bombings. has approached you in an official capacity to do this job? >> no one. and i would be surprised if that happens. >> how important is this special council

councilor? >> i think trey gowdy is big but he has another job and they need legal staff dedicated to move it forward. >> you said a poorly selected committee will be worse than now. why? >> because we are at least finding things out. whereas, if they have a committee that screws up we get no place >> nancy pelosi is non-committal. there is a question still about a democrat boycott. how does that figure into this? >> i don't think there is a chance they will boycott it. they realize it is easier to

obstruct from within than from without. the benghazi scandal that we have been looking at is what happened on september 11th and going forward. the policy that led to the event, not talking about the not preparing the situation, but this hasn't been an obama-only policy. >> leading republicans were all for jumping into the car and go to car in libya. sgr >> because you have been critical about the benghazi investigation and how the administration has handled it. let's say you could advise

either side, what advice would you give? >> the facts of the benghazi massacre and the immediate run up and aftermath are indefensible. i want to let the facts sing for themselves. so don't appoint staffers who made judgments about this. investigate it, let the facts speak for themselves. if i were the democrats, i think i would not in good conscious be able to advise people to delegitimize the fact but they should focus this was a bipartisan policy. >> one of the things we will talk about is boko haram, an islamic terrorist group terrorizing africa. and you said you want to talk

about the powerment that led to islamic surpremist. >> i would argue we need to go back 20 years and focus on what these people believe. the fact that somebody isn't looking to blow up a bridge this minute to establish their view of a state doesn't make them moderate. >> and you are saying a query on that would have changed actions? >> you could not get support if y knew how anti americans they were. >> thank you! a new plan to take more money from your pocket when

travelling on the roads. and karl rove and joe trippi own what the north carolina elections mean. >> we need to be clear this isn't the end of the primary. it is the beginning of the primary mission. which has been the mission all along and that is to beat hagan and make harry reid an irrelevant american. avo: wherever your journey takes you the expedia app helps you save with mobile-exclusive deals download the expedia app text expedia to 75309 expedia, find yours we cannot let the fans down. don't worry!

>> right now the mid-term election seeinason is heating un north carolina. tillis won against a deep republican field and he is going to challenge kay hagan who is considered vulnerable. but what does it mean for george and kentucky? let's ask experts. joe trippi and karl rove are here. both fox news con tributers. tillis is running even with hagan now. are democrats nervous? >> that is the win the gop wanted and i think a lot of democrats would have preferred either the tea party or the

social conservative took second and third in the race. it is a big win for the gop. they got the candidate they wanted. the establish rallied around tillis. jeb bush, romney sported huppor. and here in north carolina the tea party rebellion has been put down and the next six weeks will tell if that continues in georgia and mississippi. >> american cross roads supported tillis in this race. do you agree with joe's assessment? has the tea party been put down? >> i have a different view of it. there was a poll before the election by a think tank in

north carolina and it showed tillis was winning social, economic and tea party conservatives. his approval was 56 approve and 26 unfavorable. among tea party members it was 59 approve and 24 disapprove. so what happened here was a candidate who could unite the party won. d tillis received support from my group and the commerce but harry reid's super pack spent $4 million beating them up and egg hagan's campaign sent $2 million on her campaign. and $6 million was wasted because the guy they tried to

suppress cruised to a victory. >> he is running neck-and-neck with hagan now. this is a threat for democrats it would seem. >> money did sell the tale on this. tillis was at 60% in january. and $10 million american with american cross roads with $2 million. $10 million in outside money in terms of the republican primary came in. the tea party candidate, outside groups scraped together a couple hundred thousands. it is clear that jeb bush, romney and the outside help he got got him over the 40%. they have the same fight in georgia and mississippi and kentucky. i agree with karl rove in that most of the places the democrats are hoping to win the fight.

in kentucky is doesn't look like it is registering much. but there is a couple places where it is legit might and we will see how it plays out. i think there is still a struggle within the party. it may turn out that the right candidates get nominated. >> karl, what your view of the kentucky primary? where does that stand? mitch mcconnell coasting now? >> first, joe mentioned $10 million spent by the outside groups. $3 million on tillis and the other $7 million sent going after hagan. as to kentucky, i think mitch

mcconnell is going to cruise over bevin because of bevin is a crippled candidate. he pretends to be a tea party candidate but endorsed the bailout. he is also a guy who didn't vote for republican presidential candidates but noted have extremist nut candidates. and republicans want a team member who is loyal. he is sinking in the polls and i think it will be bad showing. >> is just win it the new republican model? >> no, let's go back to tillis. you need a person that can reunite the party. he brought together economic, social, national defense and tea party conservatives and brought them together in an eight person race. and joe and i agree.

he represents -- there is 120 members of the north carolina house of representatives so he represents a slither of the state coming from the charlotte area. but because of his message, who he is and his record in office he was able to unite the party. and remember this, the republicans have a much larger primary than the democrats and hagan got 77% of the vote against two candidates that didn't campaign. she got basically three quarters of the vote against no body and that is not a good sign for senator hagan. >> we are going to be watching all of this as these other primaries take place and all the way up to the november mid-terms. >> and let's check out what is ahead on out numbered at the top

of the hour >> guess who is back? mo monica lieu wensky is back. and a survia finds a number of journalist who identify as republican dropped to 7%. >> and running out of excuses to get out of bad date? the new accessory that can help. and the #one lucky guy out number numbered. >> we will see you in 19 minutes. the u.s. sending a highly trained team to try to help with the rescue of hundreds of girls helped captive by a brutal group of islamic extremist. how we can help and the limitations we face next.

>> ladies, go get married. leave western education. i am the one that captured your girls. i will sell them in the market. there is a market for selling people. god has commanded me to sell.

>> a fox news alert. the united states joining the hunt for the leader behind the kidnapper of 200 girls. sending law enforcement teams to search for the leader of boko haram. we learned eight more girls were kid napped and he plans to sell them into slavery. >> i sell women. and i will sell women as commanded by allah until the land is filled with the blood of unbeliever unbelievers. >> the president weighing in this morning on the growing threat:

>> we have identified them as one of the worst local terrorist organizations. i can only imagine what the parents are going through. >> jaime williamson is here and a david ross. let's talk about boko haram. what do we need to know about the group? >> they are a brutal group. in addition to kidnapping the girls and the leader saying they should not have been in school in the first place, they have carried out attacks on churches and bombing them because they dislike christians and want to stir up the tensions. >> how successful are they in doing that? >> they have not had the full

success. in the late '90s, there was a lot of clashes and they would like to stir up those again. they have caused killings by christians and muslims but haven't triggered the all-on war that will benefit them. >> the state department is putting together a cell and military support to help the nigerian government. tell us what that can do and if that can help get the girls back? >> thanks, jenna. at this stage time is of the essence. it is primarily an intelligence operation. a team of military and law enforcement can bring to bear robust intelligence collection and platforms and unique equipment to collect that intelligence and bring appropriate forces to bear to

bring these girls back >> that is the short-term goal; to get the girls back. the long-term goal is how do we destroy this group? doesn't sound like the people we want around >> it is a very difficult things to do. groups like this have demonstrated they are resilient and difficult to destroy even by leadership decapitation. the group has a large group of numbers. my guess is the united states will settle on a containment strategy. >> is that the right strategy? >> i think at this point it is. i would love to see the group destroyed but that is difficult to do and one of the lessons from the past 13 years is getting over ambitious can suck

you in. >> what do you think? >> there has to be a foreign policy set to combat human trafficki trafficking. there are nexus to the drugs and human trafficking. and they have direct ties to al qaeda. >> you have looked this this; their ties. but finishing up. we have looked a northern africa and there is a size of africa the size of texas that is an islamic state now. there is a threat of extreme islam and terrorism across north africa. containment or more aggressive? >> right now it is containment. i think ultimately forming a more robust strategy is

important. but boots on grounds shouldn't be an option. the local government should handle that and we should help them. >> we pray for the safe return of the girls. unbelievable this day in age that is going on. remember the teen who stowed away in the wheel well of the the plane that went from hawaii to california? a major update and what the video has to do with it.
