12:00 pm
of a twitter fan saying, really, hash tag, relationship status, hash tag, none of my business, hash tag, leaves people own to predators. hash tag, you have a lot to stay. >> thank you for being part of the "the real story." >> accusations of new coverup over scandal over medical care for veterans, and another hospital now accused of keeping a secret waiting list to hide delays. >> new york racing rules kept horses from wearing breathing strips on the noses but the horse who won the last two triple crown leg used them. now word belmont is getting on board. and memorial day right around the corner. no more sun screen. today the company that is offering a brand new alternative, instead of putting sun screen on your body over and over again you drink this internal sun screen.
12:01 pm
one and you're protected. sun screen that you drink? let's get to it. >> happy monday to you and yours. first from the fog -- fox news decree, this is the first time that the feds have charged foreign agents with cyberspying, an accusation the chinese officials say the united states made up. according to this indictment, chinese military officers hacked into an american nuclear and industrial company, or series of them-major players, including westinghouse, alcoa, some u.s. steel. the feds report the hackers stole information like product design and confidential legal strategies to give chinese companies a leg up on their american competition. >> we must say enough is enough. this administration will not
12:02 pm
tolerate actions by any nation that seeks to illegally sabotage american companies and undermine the integrity of fair competition in the operations of the free market. >> we have the fbi's most wanted posters up on the wall in all, five members of china's military face a long list of charges, including economic espionage. >> the companies are in the pittsburgh area with the u.s. attorney who handled the grand jury explaining the costs in the bills of dollars. >> but, yes, absolutely. i'm saying that this cyberhacking leads directly to the loss of jobs here in the united states. >> the five chinese military officials work from the shanghai office building known as unit 61398. first publicly identified as a base for cyberespionage last year by the american cybersecurity firm. asked if the u.s. is working with the leadership in beijing
12:03 pm
to arrest the five men the justice department official overseeing the case said the chinese would not move on anything until they had proof. >> i can only tell you the chinese government had said if we had evidence that would stand up in a court of law, show it, and today we did. >> only last week the administration seemed to roll out of the red carpet chinese officials visiting washington no indication this specific case was raised with. the at that time. >> what's the fallout so far? >> the chinese foreign ministry putting out a statement this morning that the indictment is baseless and should be withdrawn and reads in part: china is a staunch defender of network security and the chinese government, military, and associated personnel never engaged in online theft of trade secrets. and given the recent nsa revelations the chinese government is saying u.s. intelligence agencies are aggressively engaged in similar
12:04 pm
activities. >> our intelligence activities are focused on the national security interest of the united states. we believe there should be a continuing dialogue on these issues with china. >> chinese government is also calling on the u.s. to withdraw the indictment, and beijing is dropping out of its engage independent a cyber security working group. what we heard from analysts is the likelihood these five officials will be prosecuted in a just court seems thin to say the least. >> thanks. let's turn to gordon cheng. huge indictment, big show. is it more than that? >> what we're trying to do is say to the chinese, look, we know a lot about what you're doing. we know where you live. when you think you're alone we're going to find you. otherwise this doesn't make sense. these guys are never going to be coming to the united states and say, please arrest me. take me into court. that is just not going to happy.
12:05 pm
so i think what we're trying to do is start a conversation with the chinesçe and sort of up the ante a little bit. >> what the chinese do is they copy our products, big and small. we know they knock off electronics. now we're led to believe they're going into everything we do and copying all of it. is the problem that serious. >> it is. the estimates of annual loss range from 20 billion to about 350 billion, and probably we're talking at least $110 billion a year. that's a trillion dollars over a decade. so, clearly we have to do something. it's 2.1 million person jobs that are lost and that is important. >> how is it that 2.1 million american jobs are lost? >> because when you have a plant close down, which they referred to in the press conference, the u.s. steel plant doing u.s. tubes in texas. this plant would be open and selling to umpers if the chinese did not have the price information to undercut u.s. steel. so that was juan exempt there's
12:06 pm
so many and it's not just the steel companies of western pennsylvania. i think we're probably going to see more indictments. >> how well organized is this and how much of it comes directly from the chinese government. do we know? >> all from the chinese government and very well organized and not only the people's liberation army because we had five military officers indicted today. also you have state enterprises do this, the communist party uns doing this so a lot of differing groups in china doing this but they're all part of the chinese central government. >> the question is, how too you stop it? and gordon cheng has made the case that the chinese need us a lot more than we need them, and you give specifics. >> yes. last year, for instance, china's merchandize trade surplus against the u.s. was $318.4 billion. that was 122.6% of their overall surplus. now, that means we can find other suppliers in the world for our goods but they cannot find another market because they run deficits with the rest of the world to run a surplus against us.
12:07 pm
>> so in other words, we could make these products ourselves probably at a higher cost because we would have to pay people above slave labor but they couldn't find anybody else to buy the stuff. >> we can make this stuff in bangladesh, you walk into a wal-mart, house brand is bang a la -- or jordan or mexico. so we can find other places. and a lot of manufacturing is coming back to the u.s. for a number of reasons, including the cost of energy, which in the u.s. is so much cheecher -- cheaper than china. >> police say they arrested nearly 100 people across more than a dozen countries in connection with software that lets hackers hijack your computer's web cam without you realizing it. that malware is called black shades. it also lets hackers steal your personal information by recording everything that you do every key that you hit. officials in europe say the raid went doesn't last week. the feds got the names from to
12:08 pm
black shade developers who gave a list of folks who bought their software. in addition, we just learned of a deal that gives nigeria access to some u.s. intelligence in the hunt for hundreds of kidnapped school girls. the boko haram group kidnap the girls a month ago u.s. had been using satellites to search for signs but washington hat no security protocol for sharing intel with the knee jeerans and now we do. >> when you get out of college you walk away if a a diploma and education and in many cases a rip crippling dead and the class of 2014 is setting a record how much they owe. and spf15 that you never put anywhere, never greasy again. a spoonful of it, and that's all you need. can this really work? a doctor is in. the company behind it. what you need to know is coming up on "shepard smith reporting." all we do is go out to dinner.

12:12 pm
graduating class will leave school with student loan depth, 20 percentage points higher than the class of 1994. fed officials say americans now owe a whopping 1 trim -- $1 trillion in student loans more than car loans and credit card debt. jerri willis is with us. these don't even include parental debt. this is just what the students owe. >> parents have $29,000 worth of debt for the same kid. so all in the debt equals $60,000, and what is going on here? the grants aren't keeping up with the price tag for college tuition, and secondly, mom and dad's income is not going up very much. so people are in a real other tight squeeze to make this happen. >> are they able to pay these loans? >> one in ten of them default on student loans. what is more, a quarter to a
12:13 pm
third of all students don't enmake their first loan payment because there's a six-month forgiveness program at the outset and people are trying to fine a job and thinking about more than paying back their debt. >> we wonder why we saddle or kids with all of this debt. just don't really have a fair shot. >> if you're starting life with $30,000 in debt, it's hard to dig out from there you delay having kids, you delay buying a house, delay your entire life to pay off the debt. >> back to mom and dad's house. all right, we'll look for you this afternoon. there is no evidence that russian troops are pulling back from the border with ukraine. none at all, despite what putin says. that's the word from the white house today after the russian president reportedly ordered his troops to return to bases. so putin ordered his troops to return to bases, you know they're going to, right sniff he really did that. no the first time he made this promise. the "associated press" is reporting president putin
12:14 pm
ordered russia's defense minister to pull back the forces in the so-called springtime exercises, taking place in the three regions bordering ukraine. if it happies ill will signal a calming of one of the worst crisis in the afternoon since the world war days -- the cold war dagoes this prime minister of malaysia suggested the cia is with holding information on the missing malaysian airlines jet. it's our foul. the flight has been missing for two months. the form are prime minister claims it was most likely not an ordinary crash, and he hinted that somebody could have landed the jet elsewhere and disguised it. of course we have heard here's theories but but they're saying
12:15 pm
boeing could have remotely flown the jet and accused the media of covering up what happened. now it's our fault. the prime minister once suggested the attacks of 9/11 were staged in order to stir up hatred against the muslim community. the word from the leader of malaysia. former leader, at least. >> reps for u.s.a. company say they released a new sun screen you don't need to apply to your skip. they say you're supposed to drink it. a teaspoon or so down the hatch. they say it works. our managing news editor on the deck says it cannot work. we'll explain to you why he says it cannot work. we'll have a doctor weigh in. we'll report, you decide. a real product. they say drink it and you'll have 30spf. does it work on uva0 or uvb? will it get you a beer? that guy said it but is laughing. he said it cannot work. >> i don't buy it. >> we'll report.

an enormous amount of rain causing some of the worst flooding in more than a century in parts of southeastern europe. the disaster reportedly killed 35 people. weather officials say three months of rain fell in just three days. some pictures of the area around this. here's an aerial of a town, you can see the flooding turned all the streets into rivers and they're still bailing out. heroicsers in serbia are helping folks just outside the capital of belgrade. you can see a man riding on a buck in the bulldozer, and here they're handing out water.
12:20 pm
volunteers with boxes of food and water. thousands of people still without power in bosnia, this used to be a street of sorts. it destroyed villages, unearthed land mines from the country's conflicts in the 1990s so a sea of mud and this is how people are sleeping inside shelters erick vac waited flooded homes and taking shelter in nearby sports arena in sarajevo. historic flooding. forget having to re-apply slimy sun screen every few hours. now is the story of the company here in the united states that claims you can now drink your sun screen. one teaspoon for three hour of what amounts to spf30 production. they call it harmonized water. the company claims ingesting the product provides special sort of circumstances, a special sound frequency that vibrate on your skin and protects your skin from the harmful uv rays.
12:21 pm
three ounces set you back $30. the food and drug administration is not checked out these claims because this is not a drug and it's not a food so they don't have to check it out. could it work? we have a board-certified internist. the way this thing claims to work there are two varieties able, tanning and nontanning. the former allows you to achieve tan while being protected from harmful rains rains and the othe blocks everything. do we buy it? >> i don't buy it. sound crazy to me. there's no way that this could work. how do we know that this stuff is really getting absorbed? if you drink it. plus there are two uv types of rays with hey to ware about. uva and uvb and even some of the good sun screens don't protect us. how do we know that's going to work. let's say it just protects you
12:22 pm
against uvb. you might not get red but how do you knower not getting subject damage underneath the skin. causing the aging and the increase in skin cancer. >> that's says for extended intense exerciseout doors or taking sun sense tieing medications -- >> ibuprofen. >> use alternative protection after 30 or 40 minutes how do you test for this? well, caroline wrote to this company and writes: i was thrilled to hear about the uva water andted it on my son who had a sport camp every day for a week. tested it on her son the temperature was 98 to 102 degrees and when he came home his skin was neither red nor burnt. my son told me the water works. no need to apply sun screen. so presumably caroline had faith in the company because shed used
12:23 pm
her son as a guinea pig. >> if you go out in the sun and don't get red, that doesn't necessarily mean you're protecting your skin against long-term sun damage, and a higher risk of skin cancer. >> harmonized water works because it shares hundreds of thousands of beneficial vibrations, massages, frequencies, its says, with the body that restore a harmonious environment. sounds like hooey. >> i don't o'how to explain how it could work. >> it was beautiful weekend on long island -- sarah, would you be willing? we have sarah over here, who is fairly fair, and then john glen who is sort of fair. maybe put you both out in the sip for eight yours. you get your traditional and you use the harmonizing water. >> i don't know about that. i struggle enough not getting burned with the traditional stuff. >> we should tell parents from
12:24 pm
sea to shining sea, if you have twins, put one twin with and it one -- >> i think it's a great idea and the webs notes there's growing recognition the body is better describe as a hologram than matter. so i think -- doctor, i'm sure you would agree. >> certainly a lot of moving parts. >> a hologram? >> a lot of moving parts. >> i saw michael jackson last night and it was cool but he was dark. apparently had not used enough harmonizing water. it's seriously, this web site -- you can buy this in the united states right now. it says, my card is empty but you can buy this, for 30 bucks. less expensive than good sun screen. should parents try this? >> absolutely not. even on the webs they say if you want to try this, try like a small patch of skin. like maybe you're foreign -- forearm and go out in the sun
12:25 pm
for 20 or 30 mungoose, so i put sun screen on your boy except one play and drink the water. >> they're saying cover yourself up except for a small area, wear a long sleeved shirt some see what happens on your forearm. so maybe try that. i wouldn't want to take the risk. who knows what will happen long term? >> will the fda ever look at this? >> i doubt it. not if it over the counter and won't look at it unless there are problems. people complaining about toxic reactions or rashes, the fda will look at it. >> if the kids come in with a burn -- >> they'll have a problem. if it does work, what about your vitamin d? >> thank you. the recommendation is? >> be very careful, take your vitamin d. >> get as sun, makes you feel better. heroes who went to war for this nation denied medical dream. that's the accusation. now it looks to observers as if the veterans affairs administration had waiting lists

more accusations of secret wait lists at va hospitals. this latest one is in the state of new mexico. the daily beast, an online publication, quotes an anonymous doctor who says the veterans affairs hospital in albuquerque made seriously ill patients wait months with no treatment. that doctor says some of those patients had serious heart
12:32 pm
conditions. brain tumors, the source also tells the daily beast hospital staffers destroyed records to cover their tracks after reports of a similar list in phoenix. the delays at that facility led to dozens of preventible deaths. look at the wall over here. va facilities in 13 states face accusations of mishandling treatment patient. last week the tom for at the department of veterans affairs resigned but the head of the department has refused to step down. ed henry is live at the white house. what's the latest from the obama administration? >> well, shep, what is interesting is they're trying to push back by saying, the president has been doing everything he can to help veterans. they talk about how for the first time he has covered claims for post-traumatic stress disorder as well as agent orange going back to the vietnam war and he also acknowledge what that did was swelted the number of claims at time when the
12:33 pm
virginia -- va is an overwhelmed bureaucracy. so jay carney says the president is trying to pour more money in his budget to deal with this. i pressed him whether they think it's just throwing money at the problem and not actually managing this to make sure the benefits get to the veterans. listen. >> throw more money at it, which is great -- >> no, no. >> not happening vas. >> that's not the case. you have more veterans being served through halver ins around the country. more veterans having the available of disable claims approved. through that process. >> bottom line, the "washington times" reporting that during the presidential transition of 2008 the bush team warned the obama team that they were real problems with wait times at va hospitals and tells us would things, these problems predate this administration -- goingen on in the bush administration as well -- but, two, this administration has had almost
12:34 pm
six years to deal with it. clearly has not been dealt with. >> may have gotten more money for it. in fact the statistics show they did exactly that. but look at the results. this isn't working out. >> no. you mention albuquerque. problems in ohio, already heard about arizona, north carolina. the map is getting quite scary in terms of va hospitals all around the country. illinois, texas, where there have been problems. fox and friends today also had a whistleblower from west virginia who said she is aware of at least two people who committed suicide waiting for their appointments. listen. >> eventually they really stopped talking to me, so i was functionally silent, but they just kept booking them, and i knew, i knew the suicides were inevitable and worse if they hadn't been treated at all. >> this leads to the question of accountability, you mentioned robert petzel has stepped down.
12:35 pm
jay carney saying he was the undersecretary of health. the american legion wanted him out and basically this is a big move. but then was pointed out that the american legion is also asking for general shinseki to step down. jay carney said the president is not ready to do that. so they're selective how they want to hold people accountability. >> ed henry, thank you very much. the federal government is spending millions of dollars so you won't pay too much for coffee. but it's also to identifying -- fight a disease that is killing off coffee crops in south america. the disease is called coffee rust. and officials say the lost crops could lead to a spike in prices. the u.s. and researchers at texas a&m university are investing 5 million bucks to help fight the disease. those research concern the farmer us because i they've lose their jobs that could add
12:36 pm
poverty and violence in those nations. prosecutors say some folks in one major city managed to get out of traffic tickets because they had connection with wealthy business owners or political elite and that cost the city and state much needed funds. hmm. now six former traffic court judges and two businessmen are going on trial, accused of taking part in a ticket-fixing scheme. all going down in philly. investigators say the former judges would flat out dismiss tickets or find the ticketholder not guilty if that person never showed up to court. prosecutors say the judges often shredded paperwork, spoke to each other in code, and referred to these special cases as requests for consideration can. they've all pleaded not guilty. kennedy is the owes of the independents on fox business network and is live on the fox news channel news deck. fixing tickets? this is just -- sounds like 1970s kind of nothing. >> the grand scheme of things, the kind of government corruption we see on a daily
12:37 pm
basis north that big a de. put for people who are so frustrated by corrupt government, they say, i hope these judge goes down. i hope they pay for what they have done. i don't know about you but i've never been able to get out of a traffic ticket. >> neverren out of one, unless it happens on the spot and they give you a warning. >> i've only gotten a warning for talking on he handset and i don't do that anymore. >> help our viewers under theme judges are not accused of taking money. >> there are a lot of counts there. there's wire fraud, mail fraud, there are six judges who are being investigated for a number of different things, and one judge in , michael sullivan, has a south philly tavern and would invite people to come to the tavern and slap their tickets or letters or complaints on the bar and they would magically be
12:38 pm
taken care of. another one of the judges, willy singletary, was at a biker rally and told people, i'm running traffic judge and i need someone to help me. if you get a few traffic tickets that increases your insurance, points on your license, depending on where you live and it's great for those people who are politically connected but for the rest of us, this kind of corruption stinks. >> some people have been writing on this, case of overkill? defense attorneys think it is. but i don't know. what is good for one should be good for everyone. who you know should not do it. >> no. it shouldn't be matter of if you know a well-connected businessman in philadelphia. >> what should we do the judges. >> lash them 400 times in a public square right before we stone them. >> will you start this -- >> absolutely not. i don't live in philadelphia. it's one of those things where judges are supposed to be
12:39 pm
impartial. they're not supposed to behave like politicians. they've got too much power. and we're not talking about the kind of judge who could sentence you to 40 years in prison, but they could give you a hefty has if they watched to. >> i saw your program when you were speaking to rick santorum. that was interesting. one thing i found interesting about your program is they don't give it up to anybody. you sort of have to answer to libertarian ideals and understands the way in the world should you and you explain to me why it's better. >> rick santorum and this brings up the republican party, because he has been very aggressive toward libertarians. i'm a -- >> makes no bones about it. he doubled down with you. >> absolutely. he says he will not defer to young voters when its comes to appealing for votes in the 2016 presidential election, nor should any republican. it should be a party of conservatives, not people who
12:40 pm
are rationally inclined. and many conservatives, by the way, are now becoming very philosophically libertarian. they're taking a look at foreign poll and i and obamacare, maybe limited government is a good solution. >> you hat another remark that was funny. >> i misspoke a little bit. >> you didn't. was freud involved? >> perhaps. >> take a look at this dramatic individual video out of china. a traffic cop hanging on to a car's hood while the driver weaves in and out of traffic? the cop says he pulled over the driver for making an illegal u turn but the driver tried to get away. the cop wasn't going to letly scheme so he held on. the traffic cop is fine now and the driver is in police custody

12:47 pm
