now. and we begin with a fox news alert. the white house responding after va secretary appearance on capitol hill. responding to the hospital's keeping fake waiting list. delays that may have been deadly for dozens of vets. at one point the secretary was forced to defend his performance on the job. >> explain to me after knowing the information you should not resign? >> i am here to accomplish a mission that i think that they critically deserve and need and i can tell you over the past five years we have done a lot to make things better. we are not done yet. >> in your judgment, are people uncooking the books and is that

a problem in the health care system? >> i am not aware other than than a number of isolated cases where there is evidence of that. but the fact that there is evidence in a couple of places behooves us to take a second look. >> the incident made him mad as hell. nwhite house press secretary jay carney asked if the president feels the same way? carne replied. he certainly does. members of various veterans groups are before the committee right now. they will answer questions and we'll continue to monitor the hearing and bring you the latest developments. and you can see it live on fox news.com. we have it streaming live for you there. >> but first, three republican

senators involved in the punish for answers on benghazi, holding a press conference. this is jon scott. >> i will heather childers in for jenna lee. >> senators wrapping up their remarks and refer to a letter signed by dozens of law makers asking senator harry reid to form a committee to investigate benghazi. here's senator lindsay graham. >> we think that the senate is derlength in its job. we have had a partisan view of benghazi and that is unfortunate. the intel- committee did a good job. and armed services and foreign relations did nothing on dod and the state department. i think that is a stain on the senate's reputation of being an oversight body. >> joining us now with more on

this. chris wallace, anchor of fox news sunday. i don't know, chris, if you are a betting man, but what would bet the odds are of harry reid ceding to the wishes and putting together a committee to investigate benghazi. >> it is a sure thing. it is not going to happen. the talk that it is partisan, it is certainly partisan enough and you can make an argument that o and the house should hold hearings on benghazi. there is no chance that the democrats led by harry reid will allow a select committee in the the senate. now having said that. we have had select committees in the past. watergate was a select committee and others are both houses. and the investigation will be

just the house and not senate. >> there is interesting numbers. many democrats said benghazi is not an issue that resonates with americans. but when asked if the president knowingly lied about what was going on in benghazi, 57 percent said, i am sorry, poppercent, i misread that. he lied to help his reelection campaign. 39 percent said no. and then a question that brings former secretary of state hillary clinton in the mix, has similar numbers when asked if secretary clinton and the president tried to deceive. president obama gets a 54 percent mark for trying to sdoef the american public. and hillary clinton 50 percent. and only 38 percent said the president was honest. those are ominous numbers for

the president and former secretary of state. >> yeah, there is a lot of unanswered questions. and the white house was not helped a couple of weeks ago when under a court order because a conservative watch dog group sued under the freedom of administration act that the administration had to release documents despite what jay carney had been saying, in fact a top white house advisor ben rh odesadvoiced susan rice to blame the attacks and benghazi on the video. that leads to a growing suspici suspicion. there is a lot of democrats and not only republicans and independents, but democrats questioned whether or not the administration is telling the straight story on benghazi. >> asked whether congress should establish a special committee to investigate benghazi, two-thirds

of those respond nothing the fox news poll said yes. 67 percent said let's get to the bottom of it with a congressional special committee and that will land with a thud on the doorstep of harry reid. and we have one on the house side. when asked if reid and the republicans in congress want to investigate benghazi. 64 percent said it is all political gain. no matter the motivation, the public believes in large part it is more politics than getting to the truth. >> yeah, those two things are notes inially contradictory. you can think that the administration sdoefd the american public about benghazi and what really happen there and feel that a year and half later, 20 months later when republicans timely decide to announce and form a select committee. they are doing it for political

reasons, my guess to a large degree both of those are true and people sense that. >> i want to get your attack on what susan rice had to say, this came as a lunchion and they asked her what else is there this administration could provide regarding benghazi. and this is how she answered that question. >> danning if i know. i moan honestly. the administration has produced 25,000 pages of documents or 25,000 individual documents. they supported and contributed to the the investigations of seven different committees, and we have had an accountability review board by a distinguished group of outsiders and house and senate committees pounced on this repeatedly, so it is hard

to imagine what further will come of yet another committee. >> the question chris was whether the select committee would reveal now evidence. i invited you and lipped say graham posted these questions. listen to this. >> who told susan rice about the level of security in the consulate in benghazi. there was nothing in the talking points about the level of security. we know that benghazi was a death trap. what information did she rely on and who briefed her and the information that they had available to make her believe that she could say this honestly. >> for susan rice and the administration, it seems to be two years ago, more than, and very or almost two years ago and it is old news to them.

>> i think the two points about susan rice's comments. to a certain degree she is a victim herself. i remember that weekend vividly. this is after the september 11th. >> she was on your show. >> yeah. we were trying to get hillary clinton on the program, remember there were attacks on two dozen u.s. diplomat enstal aegzs. the middle east and africa and a number of them had been shut down and we tried to get secretary of state hillary clinton to talk about this. they done put her out and instead put susan rice out and had little involvement. you realize how little. they were briefing her about what to say. she was a un ambassador. when she said dang if i know. she was the person to speak out instead of hillary clinton who

should have been out speaking this weekend. and when she asked what more can we provide. despite the 25,000 documents and we didn't find out about ben rh odes e-mail until after a court order in the judicial watch case. what more is there to know? if we found out, everything that is there that the administration hasn't given us. we'll know if there is more or not. and the administration is not providing it in their own good space. >> and thank you, chris wallace. chris has an exclusive interview with former vice-president dick cheney and lynn cheney. check your local listings on fox news sunday. >> and the national september 11th memorial museum

will open at ground 0. victim's's family members and president obama spoke and other leaders. rick was there live still in lower manhattan with the latest. hi, rick. >> reporter: hi, heather. we heard compelling accounts of survivors including a woman who came down 77 flights of stairs and a four fire pulled from a hole in the rubble. and past and preponderate officials who led the city and country through the darkest days and recovery. focusing not only on the act was terror but compassion from the first responders and neighbors around the world. they spoke about the profound and moving experience. the exhibits that serve to remind us of the horrors and administration that followed. >> a nation that stands tall and united and unafraid because no

act of terror can match the strength or the character of our country. and today, we heard the story of wells pratinger, the man in the red bandana. a former firefighter who worked in finance on the south tower employer he made his way on the 78th floor. and helped people to safety and his mother spoke in the morning's ceremony. >> it is our greatest hope when people come here, and see wells red bandana. they will remember how people helped each other that day. and we hope they will be inspired to do the same in ways both big and small. this is the true legacy of september 11th.

she certainly was one that day. >> cute little girl. >> yes. we have brand new fox poll. 46 percent of the americans feel he is doing a good job. and this approval rating is one of the best he had seen last fall. and what is behind the numbers. we'll ask a fox news political analyst. and a former political advisor of frank la utenburg. >> the polls are errat and i can change on a whim. i don't know if it is a poll that should be taken as a holy grail but part has to do with the positive roll out of the obama care numbers and they exceeded expectations by 8 million. you can laugh about. that but everybody said the sky was falling and 8 million people

signed up for something and the market is going through the roof recently and economic news paired with the success of the obama care roll out is why you see it reflected in the north. you got a good laugh in there. but the fact of the matter is, the second poll number shoes the trend. back in march 2014. and he has a 38 percent job approval and april it was 42 percent and now 44 percent. and he's up six points since march. >> look at the roll out of the number that are part of the affordable care act. how many of those people are paying and get rebates and subsidies and how many are young healthy people. that is number one. the economy, look at all of the cities that filed for bankruptcy under the president's watch.

detroit, and valeo jo, california and stockton and harrisburg. it depends on the pool that you poll. americans are suffering and the reason why the numbers are up. spin, spin, spin. and the president has the bully pulpit. >> and on that point, why the people feel that the president is or not doing a bad job. when it comes to job disapproval. the main reason he is doing a bad job and 18 percent said his performance on health care is a big part of the reason they don't like the job he's doing now. 17 percent say they do like to reverse. it and the number two reason for people disapproving of his work

is health care. >> i tell you what you are seeing with you and angela. >> it is high he partisan and electorate as you can see here on tv. people love obama care or if they don't love it they support the president in trying to change health care or they think it is the worst thing to work. >> and you will see it reflected in the polls. and same thing in the economy. the sky is falling and you can see it time and again. it is highly polarized, highly charged environment in the 20 years that i have been doing poll teches and i think you so it reflected in our debate today. >> i want to say this, jon, the affordable care act is supposed to be affordable. people call and said when they call the hot line to sign up

because their insurance was cancelled. well, if you are on public assistance, it would be cheaper. that was not the purpose of the law, it was to insure people that were not insured and not cancel people who are insured and so it is back wards, julie. >> you are one of my dearest and closest friend. one of your friends, my health care went down thanks to obama care. can you find a million examples of people who benefitted under the law and you can find them who did not benefit. why are you seeing people approve or disapprove. it is partisan divide that you see between angela and myself. >> geomer pyle. surprise, surprise. i'm very surprise. >> i will send you my bill. we'll go from there.

>> and the president is under water when it comes to approval rating but ticking up a little bit at a time. julie. and angela. a h. nlong day, jon scott. >> exactly. i am having one of those days. angela and julie, thank you. >> under water to under fire on capitol hill. veterans affairs secretary telling senators he is determined to get to the bottom of the claims of the delayed medical treatment as to questions of crime beings committed and new reaction from one vet up next. >> isn't there evidence of criminal wrongdoing? falsified roars and false statements to the federal government. >> that is a crime? >> should be, yes.

are responsible. the notion we are sitting back and letting the inspector general. he invited the inspector general to look bo it. he shpt invite but direct him and give him strict guidelines. i don't want to pound on the the secretary too much because of my respect for him. but at the same time i am disappointed in the leadership he is exhibiting. >> he was a four star army general he enjoyed broad support. and he did a good job and wounded in vietnam and a soldiery's soldier. and long enjoyed the trust and confidence on capitol hill. he was fired by the bush white house for saying he thought we didn't have enough troops in iraq and it turns out he was
