"happening now" right now. confirmations hearings about to begin for the woman who could become the new face of obamacare. sylvia birdwell sits down before the senate finance committee as all signs indicate she will become the next healthnd human services secretary. also, two key players in the gop strategy to win back the senate and the challengers though face as brand new reaction to a new round of primaries. two wildfires raging right now. one on the outskirts of a major city. they worry whether conditions could shift and change

everything. but first -- >> go ahead, john. take it away. >> it's all you. >> a key hearing tomorrow considering the health of america's heroes as the va secretary prepares to take tough questions on capitol hill. welcome to a new hour of "happening now," everybody. i'm jenna lee. >> i'm john scott. what lawmakers and the american people want to know are reports of long wait times for veterans needing medical care, isolated incidents or pervasive across the va system. why did it take so long to address the problem and how do we guarantee veterans coming home from war zones get the best health care? secretary shinseki will face these hearings tomorrow. we already heard from veterans outraged about the scandal in including one we talked to yesterday on "happening now." >> how could he not know? poor leadership. i would have been removed from my post while i was on active duty if i claimed i did not know when my marines were not performing the way they're supposed to perform. the secretary should own up.

he should lead the charge in changing this. i do ask for him to resign. >> all of this comes as nn influential house committee the member calls for a special commission to investigate the growing scandal. chief white house correspondent ed henry live on the north lawn for us now. there are, ed, new revelations coming out of chicago. what's the latest on that? >> that's right. you see the frustration there, john, from veterans bubbling up about -- they want answers. what happened here? cbs news reporting last night there was a secret waiting list of patients at va hospital in the chicago area. that on top of what we already know as you mentioned, in phoenix, north carolina. various points all around the country. republican jeff miller chairs the veterans affairs committee. he fired off a letter to the president of the united states last night saying, in part, mr. president, a year has passed since i wrote to you requesting your involvement in addressing a rash of suicides, preventable deaths, and other serious patient care issues at

department of veteran affairs medical centers around the country. jeff miller writes, he has simply not gotten answers to any of that in the past year and is now demanding that an outside panel review this instead of having the va and their inspector general investigate it. >> secretary shinseki is supposed to be on the hot seat tomorrow on capitol hill. what does the white house have to say about that? >> bottom line is you're right, he is going to face a tough grilling before the senate veterans affairs panel. i just pressed jay carney a few moments ago. he was saying, look, they're on top of this. they're trying to deal with it. they put all kinds of money into trying to deal with the problem at va but i pressed him then, why have we had all of these problems. listen. >> what's been done? >> well, i mean, i can cite you what's been done including the increases in standing for va services this president has insi not always with -- well, ed, as you know, that's under investigation.

and we will assess what happened there when the facts are fully known. we take that situation and the allegations around it very seriously. >> jay carney was asked about lawmakers in missouri now asking about all investigations that a st. louis va hospital as well. bottom line, john, is it's clear the administration does still not have a complete handle on how many hospitals here were effected, john. >> the drip, drip, drip of bad news, not good for the secretary. >> yeah. >> all right. ed henry at the white house. ed, thank you. we're going to stay with politics. another big round of primary results from two senate races in the running for the midterms. chief political correspondent cameron on who won and who lost. carl? >> hi there, jenna. big night last night in nebraska for the president of midland university, ben sasse. he got more primary votes for the u.s. senate seats than both his rivals combined. the sasse camp is out with a memo that says they give great credit and substantial credit to

the out of state super pacs who backed him for the win but the lesson really is about recruiting quality candidates. the sasse is making the case that they need constitutional conservatives who can inspire the tea party but also have background in politics that is credible. sasse pleases both the gop establishment and tea partieriers and the super pacs on both sides of that battle. listen. >> that you want solutions, not sound bites and you want bigger ideas to tackle the big problems that we face. you told us that you still believe in the nebraska way and american creed because it wasn't just the hope and promise of yesterday but it's the hope and promise of our kids for tomorrow. you also told us that you wanted to turn the minority leader into the majority leader, and that it's time to fire harry reid. >> and he's had a favorite when it goes to november because republicans are strong in nebraska. the president's particularly unpopular.

as for governor, pete rickets john the gop nomination for the same sort of reasons like sasse, he is heavily favored to be the governor at the end of next fall. in addition, west virginia made history last night. they are officially nominating both republican congresswoman and democratic secretary of state natalie tenet for u.s. senate. that means the mountaineer state will is have a female senator next year. the winner of the primary for capito's open seat, money. both mooney and in many ways sasse have the credibility to resonate to take the office and hold it. >> interesting trend, carl, thank you. so as carl just reported, the tea party showing it is still a force in u.s. politics. for more analysis on these latest primaries let's bring in ed o'keefe, correspondent for

the "washington post." michael warren is staff writer for "the weekly standard." some people had written off the tea party for dead. do these results from last night suggest that that was a premature epitaph? >> last week, what were retalking about? tom tillis in north carolina and the establishment fighting back. this week we're talking about the tea party fighting back. i can find the truth sort of in where i often tifind the truthsn the rapper l.l. cool jay, they've been here for many years. the tea party for the last several years have merge with the republican party on a lot of these issues. what you ended up having in nebraska, for instance, are three kraents who are sort of indistinguishable on the issues but ben sasse, having backing of those tea party groups he was able to put forward his candidacy and showed that he was the best candidate, smart, conservative guy but would get along with the establishment as well. so i kind of reject the whole

establishment versus tea party kind of dichotomy, at least in nebraska. >> all right. nebraska might be a very different animal from virginia. let's talk about eric cantor, ed. majority leader of the house of representatives, he is said to be in potentially some trouble from a very tea party affiliated tea party, oriented challenger. what do you make of that? >> david brat is the name of the challenger. raised $40,000 compared to the $2 million that eric cantor has in the bank. but already tea party backers have really up ended the state party organization a bit by rejecting basically the state party committee from cantor's district that was a friend of his and an ally. many now believe that could be the precursor to a possible, if not win, by mr. bratt but at least a closer than expected margin for a man who many believe one day will become speaker of the house. it's a bit of an embarrassment for cantor who would probably

prefer to be focused on gets his other colleagues re-elected and not worry about himself. i would agree, this doesn't necessarily signal the return or the comeback of the tea party. they're here. this is the whole reason congress is acting the way it is these days. what we're in the ♪ midst of is two-month primary battle going state by state, district by district. in many cases so-called establishment republicans running against so-called tea-party backed republicans. everyone is going to win a few. so far it looks as if the establishment candidates are doing better. they got victories not only in nebraska last night but west virginia race as well. >> some of the establishment candidates may be tempering their language a little bit to suit what tea party voters might be looking for or looking to hear. >> that's right. i do want to make a point about west virginia. i read about shelly a few weeks ago from "the weekly standard." she didn't have any primary call leng and she considers herself sort of a centrist type

republican. she's pretty much far away from what the tea party stands for in terms of, you know, west government spending. she defends spending government money, you know, to help the library get a new roof, for instance, somewhere in west virginia. so in a lot of ways it comes down to this particular state, to the particular electorate, and so it's really a diverse party, the republican party, diverse country which we know as well. >> and in west virginia when you have a president who is anti-coal, state like west virginia, you know, anybody who is not of the president's party perhaps may be appealing. all right. >> that's right. >> ed o'keefe, michael warren, thank you both. we should have an l.l. cool j coat for i've everything. we have six months. we'll see. >> good idea. that was not one that i knew, but i'm not familiar with the l.l. cool j repertoire. >> we're going to play the clip for you during break.

all right. one more note at least when it comes to the primaries that we wanted to mention to you. one-time "american idol" winner clay aiken is officially a democratic candidate for congress after a too close to call race aiken won the democratic nomination for north carolina congressional seat. and this decision comes less than 24 hours after his primary opponent, keith crisco, died suddenly after a fall at his home. aiken will likely have a tough battle in the gop-leaning district but as you know anything can happen. so he will be running against republican incumbent renee ellmers in november. a whistle-blower on obamacare claiming workers are being paid to do nothing. now one lawmaker is vowing to get to the bottom of it all. and it was breaking news yesterday. during "happening now," new video shows a guy plowing a stolen truck into the lobby of a tv station. and it only gets worse from there. the charges, the person behind the wheel faces now. also, is wiring your baby

our new york studios with that. >> this is every parent's worst nightmare. three kids were in that bounce . a 10-year-old girl and two boys, aged 5 and 6. it was swept up, as you can see, and these pictures we have by a gust of wind, the 10-year-old girl fell out almost immediately and wasn't badly hurt. but the 6 and 5-year-old boys taken into the air some 15 to 20 feet, according to the police. the 6-year-old fell directly on to the road. the 5-year-old fell into the apartment parking lot where they had been playing, hitting his head first on a car. here's a witness. >> he hit his head off the back of my car. >> i heard his head hit my car and then i heard him hit the ground and then i just heard screaming everywhere. >> that boy who hit the car, we are now told is in a medically induced coma. the other boy, the 6-year-old, has two broken arms, a broken jaw, and possible internal

injuries. as for what caused this, the police say obviously wind was a factor. they do not expect, though, any charges against the owner of the bounce house. they say at the moment they believe it was sbimply a tragic accident, albeit a very difficult one for everybody, including first responders, to witness. listen here. >> it's quite brutal. it's heart wrenching. >> makes me want to squeeze my kids extra at night. >> definitely. it was hard to see what i seen. >> now, the bounce house was made by a company called little tikes nape told us in a statement today they are also investigating this accident and their thoughts and prayers are, as are everybody's, with the families of those two little boys. >> what about tie-down or sandbags or something like that? >> i talked to the cops today about that, john, and they said that indeed the bounce house did

have stakes, about six-inch long plastic stakes. so it appears that it was correctly secured and that this, according to them, was nothing more than a freak accident and a very, very scary one, obviously. >> very scary. we were just commenting in the studio the thing looks like it's way higher than 10 or 15 feet. >> when you look at the height it reached, it looks to me about 50 feet at its height. but the boys fell out at about the 15 to 20-foot level. >> it's not loaded there. that's probably why it went in the air higher. what a story. thank you. >> terrifying. something you don't think about. we will think twice about now. new concerns about who is xwat thering information about you and we're not talking about the nsa. private companies collect, study, and sell a mind-bongling amount of information about your habits. companys make a lot of money. a question is raised today in a

politico article about who watches the watchers. let's bring in morgan wright, cyber security analyst. this was quite a read. >> absolutely. >> we spend a lot of time on nsa and what they're doing and how we feel about it. >> yeah. >> and the over arching theme of this article is there are private companies doing far more than the nsa. what is your general take on it? >> they're doing $39 billion worth of business collecting and selling our personally identifiable information and they're doing it legally. you know, the difference is between doing it for government purposes and doing it for private purposes. jenna, it's mind boggling. i just met a company this morning called manageyourid.com talking about your personal safety. you become shocked when you realize how much information is being sold. but more importantly, the government, many city, county, state governments are the ones selling this information. >> really? who are they selling it to? >> the department of motor vehicles information, a lot of

other things are being told to people. people are electing license plate information, being able to track things for insurance purposes. one report out of this report, 75,000 different points of information may be collected on consumers and being sold. >> i don't want my information being sold, that's what's going through my mind. is there anything that someone can do about it to prevent that from happening? >> yeah. and like i said, the company i met with this morning, manageyourid.com has service where's you can go in and put your information is around it will find all the different places your information is and remove it and monitor it on a monthly basis. there are several other companies, too, that provide similar services. people have to be empowered and you have to give them tools to remove themselves from this activity. >> what is the political angle in this article mentioned this, that republicans are adverse to any new regulations on businesses, democrats are skittish. the politico article says about alienating campaign donors on

either side. these are two generalizations as to what the reasons are for not push legislation. what is your thought on that, morgan? do we need legislation? >> when you look at the latest government and you see how many regulations there are and the cost of regulations i don't know that we need more regulations. i think milton friedman said it one time. he said there is a place for litigation in our society. you don't want to over lit bait gate but people are using these services when you use a website you give consent for them to collect your information. the question is how many people actually read the trm terms and conditions and the privacy policy? probably not nearly enough of these. do you want to use that application on that phone, what do you click, yes, i agree to the terms because you want what that application provides. people are making an exchange, i give you my personal information in return for being able to use some feature, some convenience. so it's a business negotiation but i think the problem is people aren't educated and they

don't understand enough where this information goes once they give it. >> as you point out, volunteering a lot of personal information just going about our daily lives and wanting to be sufficient and searching on the web. morgan, it's an ongoing conversation. this is the beginning. thank you very much. >> thanks. >> thank you. speaking of watching and who is watching what, there's brand new technology for babies monitoring everything from their breathing habits to their eating habits. and they wear the sensors on their bodies. that's right. is this a good idea to have it in your onesie? we're going to talk with our medical a-teamer about that. what do you think? we do it to ourselves, right? you have a wristband to say how many calories you burned today. foxnews.com/happeningnow and join the discussion. we look forward to hearing your opinion on that. >> maybe you have one of those little monitor things. >> i don't. swear, look. it's nothing. >> all right. the face-off between ukraine and russia could reach a whole new level. the latest on the crisis and how it could impact what's happening

americans buy homes. reversing course on efforts to tighten lending standards that were imposed after the financial crisis. this amid growing concern of a weak housing recovery and its impact on the overall economy. let's talk about with fox news network correspondent sheryl casoni. first of all, first things first. until you really get the housing sector rebounding you're not going to get much of an economic recovery, are you? >> no, you're not. janet yellen and secretary lou have been vocal in saying that housing is the weak spot. we've seen that. the data coming in over the last three months of existing home sales, new home sales, bimder confidence, all of it has been rather weak. a lot of it came down to financing. these banks, the lending standards, the underwriting standards, they were so lax and so loose during the financial crisis, well, that, of course, what does d.c. do, they go the other way, swing the pendulum to the other side and clamp down on the entire market. >> now you have 20% down, 30%

down. >> exactly. >> what first-time home buyer, by the way, they are not anticipating in the housing recovery. what first-time home buyer has 20% when they are sitting on heavy student loan debt. you can't have a housing market without a job market. we have weakness in both right now. they had to do this. they had to make this change. a lot of nervousness is bubbling up in d.c. especially with the housing drink that tell me that this was the worst idea. you had the bill that also made them very nervous, to get rid of fannie and freddie. now you have it as a backstop. is it enough? we're going to have to find out. interest rates are 4% right now for 30-year loans. that's a positive. a very good thing. we've got to see the first-time home buyers get into the market and they knew that. the administration had no choice but to back off of these incredibly ridiculous stifling regulations that they put into play. >> fannie and fahd freddie are going to make it easier for

people to qualify for more mortgages. are we going to see a return to easy money that led to the problem? >> there is a lot of concern about another bubble coming up. that's not going to happen. why would a bank want to go back to the days of 2008 in the financial crisis? i mean, we've got the opposite problem right now but do you really think -- people are talking about nobody down loans five years ago when this blew up in 2008. you don't have a job in we'll give you a us hoing loan, no problem. take a house. that's never going to happen again. the banks, the shareholders of the banks in particular, do not want to go back to where we were in 2008 when the blanks nearly collapse and we had to save them. >> and the tax pay ersz helped bail them out. hello. >> that is not the plan here. i think these fears are overblown. i think this is the right move. i'm very, very grateful that this happened yesterday. we've got to see people buying homes again. we've got to see this economy get out of the doldrums. we needed this. >> i just want to get into a business where if i screw up mightily, the taxpayer pays for

my mistakes. that's why want. thank you. john, right now crews in california are getting ground on two wildfires near san diego but their efforts could be hampered by the winds expected to pick up this afternoon. what firefighters do not want to hear, as thousands of people return home after a massive evacuation order was lifted. will is live in san diego with the latest for us. >> the winds have picked up and firefighters tell us that they have grave concerns about the weather conditions heading into the afternoon. today is another red flag warning day. that means the winds will continue to be strong. there will be low humidity. temperatures will be in the triple digits. it's dry. california is in a drought. put it all together and it's perfect wildfire conditions. yesterday schools, thousands of residents were all forced to evacuate. this part of northern san diego which is about 25 miles north of downtown san diego. the fire burned almost 1600 acres and although it's 25%

contained, firefighters say there's still a lot of work to be done, especially at the fire flares up. >> we are prey paired for the worse and hoping for the best. but we are going to monitor the next 24 hours with the weather conditions and if we have any flare-ups or any spot fires we'll aggressively attack those from the air and the ground. >> fire investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what caused this fire as of right now 350 firefighters are on the front lines and they say they're doing everything they can, jenna, to keep these communities safe. >> wish them the best. will, thank you. all right. many of us depend on our smartphones to keep track of our lives. but your trusty phone could also make you a big inviting target for thieves. why security experts say your phone is worth more than a solid block of silver on the black-market. speaking of phones, a new app is giving new parents real peace of mind.

archaeologically and made available to scholars and schoolchildren around the world. it's the voyage that changed the course of human history and i feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to make sure it's done correctly. >> that's a replica of what the "santa maria" would look like. barry, we hope you'll come back on the program. appreciate the time today. we look forward to having you back. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. thank you, bye. >> they were very tiny ships. if you've ever been on a reconstruction of them -- >> makes them more remarkable, the they were able to do -- >> something about the size of a bathtub, is what it felt like. we are waiting for confirmation hearings to begin on capitol hill. we'll have a live report as the senate considers sylvia matthews burwell as the next health and human services secretary. vo: david's heart attack didn't come with a warning.
