dog thor to spent 11 months in afghanistan are reunited. thor is a bomb-sniffing dog that took part in five deployments. should get' laxed. i love the stories and the dog gets back. they reunite. bill: that's what he said, go to petsmart. >> martha: get all the dog stuff. have a great weekend. go digital-free. "happening now" starts right now. jon: we begin on this friday with brand new reaction to the va scandal, this time from defense secretary chuck hagel. good morning to you. i'm jon scott. welcome. >> hi, there, jon, great to be with you. i'm heather nauert in for jenna lee. secretary hagel calling for accountability and urging lawmationers and the president to get to the bottom of the growing crisis. >> i support secretary shinseki.

i've known him a long time. the president said yesterday there has to be accountability. there does have to be accountability, right up and down the line. but, i think we've got to fix the problem. that's the real focus here. >> meanwhile critics are blasting president obama's handling of the crisis. in a recent editorial from "the daily beast," jacob siegel writing, quote, had the president's speech come two weeks or even 10 days ago it might have been taken in good faith that a signal that real accountability was coming in short order. but for many that moment has passed. for more let's bring if karl rove, former white house deputy chief of staff under president george w. bush. also with us, joe trippi, former howard dean campaign manager. both are fox news contributors. is it the fact, joe, that it took three weeks, essentially from the time the first talked about this that he was angry

about it at his news conference in the philippines until his statements on it the other day? those three weeks intervened and there didn't seem to be much happening. >> well, that's true. i also think the other part of it was that there wasn't, there were not like, real concrete actions that he took when he did wait the three weeks. i mean, had he either fired somebody or had, which i don't, think is really a mistake right now. i mean, first of all, when they fire somebody, or somebody resigns, all the attention goes off of it. everything solved. that is the not case. it is about fixing the problem. he did not have any concrete offers on how he was going to do that. other than we're going to keep looking at it which i think is not a satisfactory thing. one of the political contexts unlike is and benghazi and some of the other things, everybody in a polarized country, this is one thing we agree on is our troops and our veterans.

that is why this has political consequences that reaches beyond the others. jon: should somebody fired, karl? other than the forced resignation one week ago of dr. petzel who was on his way out the door anyway, nobody has lost a job over this. >> dr. petzel already announced he was leaving and would serve until his replacement. he was window-dressing. i agree with joe. it took the president over a week when this broke to comment on it. he did not do that on his own hook. he was asked a question. it took a month to address it in a con create way with his statement and even then it was conditional. then said if the allegations proof to be true. he tried to excuse it. this is not a new development. we've had wait lines with disability claims approved but never secret waiting lists for people desperate for treatment. i don't want to get ahead of ig

report. this makes it look like it is condition conditional and trying to distance himself. presidents look strong when they grab a i hold and do something. contrary to walter reed. february 28th, 2007, there were revealed problems at walter reed. within a matter of few days secretary of defense was at walter reed. the head of the facility was fired. the army secretary lost his job. the chief health official inside of the department of the army lost their job. all within a matter of days. 10 days later there was a presidential commission led by bob dole and donna shalala, bipartisan, republican, democrat and make recommendations how to avoid this happening the army and military health system. the president is not taking decisive action and not embracing this as a leader truly should. jon: joe, the president urged everybody, let's not make this political but if it is about how his administration is handling the tasks that have been entrusted to it, how can you

have an argument about that without making it political? >> well i mean, look everybody is, going to use the crisis, any crisis or scandal to for political purposes on both sides. that's going to happen of the problem here with this one, look, everybody's to blame for this. the congressional oversight. these problems have been known for a long time. whether, by, multiple administrations, by congressional oversight, by this president and this va and general shinseki, from the day they got in there knew that this was a problem. maybe not the extent of the list, playing games with the waiting list but they knew this was a problem. nothing's been done about it from anybody. and that's, that's why this is going to anger a lot of people on both side in both parties because, like i said, in a polarized nation the one thing we can all still agree on, support of our troops, support for veterans, making sure they get the benefits they deserve.

that's why, i think immediate action like, you know, like, some have suggested. putting, letting any veterans on a waiting list go immediately to private evaluation within the medical system with payment from the federal government. just to get them evaluated and into the system because when they're in the va system, everybody believes, says that they're getting great health care. veterans themselves believe once they're in, they, the quality of their care is great. but getting into the system and, quickly, doesn't happen. well, that could be fixed right away, while we study everything, while we look at everything, while we get to the bottom. i think there should be accountability but only after we know who actually did this they should all go. jon: well, karl, joe is right. there have been problems under all administrations with the va, republican and democrat but if joe is also right, if the obama administration was aware of these problems, i mean they have had six years to fix them.

>> well, first of all, let's be clear. i don't want to sound like i'm defending administration here but let's get the facts right. there has been a continuing problem for decade with claims for disability status that with a huge backlog of those. it has been whittled down, was, it, when bush came into office, took you average of 230 days to get that disability claim turned down or accepted. that was worked down to about 161 days. it is now back up by 2012 to 262 days. that is a continuing problem. however, what we're dealing with here is a new thing and that is, that inside the va, there were at certain facilities secret lists that were basically slow-paying people who already been approved for disability status, were in need of procedures and health care, and were not getting it. that is a different thing that what we've won heretofore talking about for decades. so this is something new.

now i don't, i don't believe that every administration needs to be able to very much vision they can find out these problems exist before, you know, anybody else but when you get told about them like we were told about phoenix, you ought to have all, you know, all call battle stations. everybody ought to be at the post finding out how widespread it is. there are intimmations that this is happening at 40 facilities across the country. think about. the president makes remarks couple days ago. he says he get as preliminary report next week. we don't know when he gets with the final report. let's not interfere with the ig. i have my man, deputy white house chief of staff looking into this. we don't know when he will report. i'm worried that the president is simply trying to stay on top of this rhetorically and not get into this. look what happened last night. the u.s. house of representatives passed a bill that said the secretary of the department of veterans affairs has the authority get rid of

high-ranking officials that oversee this to hold them accountability. house passes overwhelming on bipartisan vote. the white house says, we would not oppose the house bill. that is just, showing a level of engagement. for or against it and push it. jon: the language could be a little stronger it seems. karl rove, joe trippi, we have to leave it there we'll have you on to continue our discussion. thank you you both. >> one scandal to another we have new information to bring you on the is targeting scandal. the agency is now overhauling rules designed to restrict political activity by tax-exempt groups after republican lawmakers warned that the move could spark further intimidation of tea party and other conservative groups. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is in washington. hi, there, mike. tell us about the concern with the proposed rule. what was it all about? >> reporter: irs was bombarded with 150,000 comments on the rule would seek to split limit political activity by tax-exempt

groups. the agency said it was big response to any proposed regulation in its history. house ways and mean chairman dave camp who has been investigating irs targeting of conservative groups says quote, during this committee's investigation we exposed true intent of this rule, to silence of the voice of conservative non-profit groups. we also uncovered the fact this rule was purposefully kept out of the public's view and developed off-line. this proposed rule was wrong from the start. now irs officials say they will likely make changes to the proposed regulation based on comments they have received. some conservatives are saying they should crap efforts to stifle free speech. heather? >> enormous number of comments from people. they usually get a handful but that is a huge amount. tell us about reaction from top democrats. what has that been so far? >> reporter: they're very unhappy. new york democratic chuck schumer said quote, one ogreatey faces unregulated wild west nature of 501(c)(4)s that

allows a multimillionaire to spend undisclosed millions on tv ads and call it social welfare. this is delay is deeply disappointing a real setback for democracy and faith in government. schumer says only hope when the irs goes back to the drawing board they don't give into any form of political pressure. schumer says the irs should enact a very tough rule that will equally curtail liberal and conservative groups. the delay means whatever new rule they develop won't be in play in this year's mid terp election. heather? >> mike in washington. mike emanuel, thank you so much. >> reporter: thank you. jon: the calls are growing for the release of the u.s. marine jailed in mexico since april 1st. the sergeant said he made a wrong turn crossed into mexico late one night with three illegally registered guns in his truck. william la jeunesse live in los angeles with the latest. william. >> reporter: jon there are two stories here. one, why this wasn't resolved immediately and why it happened in the first place. let's look at border check

point. if you haven't been here before it is confusings. in the past there's this huge green sign saying, u-turn to the u.s., eight by six feet, high in the air. but now under construction, the new sign is about a foot by a foot. it is on the ground, and there are no lights. and there are concrete barriers that prevent drivers who missed the last exit to get in the far left lane. i'm told drivers miss it all the time. see the tiny sign in the corner. sergeant tam morici's mother told me, that he declared the mistake and customs was about to escort him back to the u.s. and military officials got involved and he was arrested. people who run the border working it out, calling in favors, call your counterpart like you frequently do off the books. example, mexican soldiers

frequently get lost and wander into the u.s. they're not arrested and they're returned. here, no reciprocity. >> we had several incidents where mexican mexican military or federal police other local police inadvertently crossed the border and armed and apprehended by us and we were able to dispense the cases pretty quickly and get them back home. >> reporter: now the state department says they're working on this, but others say, hey, we give mexico 400 million a year, we train their soldiers. give them intel. cut it off. slow down the southbound traffic. cut off tourist cash flow. that will get their attention. on wednesday, the sergeant will tell his story to a mexican judge. he is likely to make bail. i'm told he could be encouraged to take a walk, never come back, making this problem go away for both sides. back to you. jon: that would be nice. should have happened before now it seems. william la jeunesse. thanks. >> what a story that is. jon: you got to feel for the guy. >> you really have to see the

picture to understand how easy it is for somebody to get lost down there. lawyers for o.j. simpson are now requesting a new trial. why they're trying to get his 2008 armed robbery conviction overturned once again. then weeks after a near mid-air collision over newark airport there was another frightening close call in the skies. listen to this, two planes taking off nearly fly right into each other over houston. what averted that disaster? we'll tell you about that next. captain: this is a tip. bellman: thanks, captain obvious. captain: and here's a tip. when you save money on hotel rooms, it's just like saving money on anything else that costs money.

like shoes, textiles, foreign investments, spatulas, bounty hunters, javelins...

jon: what could have been a mid-air collision just south of houston's airport narrowly averted this month. turns out two united airlines flights taking off at the same time came within 400 feet of each other altitudewise, with almost 150 people on each plane just weeks after a similar incident at newark's airport. molly henneberg joins us live from washington with the latest on what a very close call. molly? >> reporter: absolutely, jon. you know how close it is for two passenger jets to r 400 feet vertically and .8 of a mile laterally apart from each other. it happened two weeks ago when a air traffic controller apparently told a plane taking off to turn right, instead of left. here is how the faa explains it,

in a statement, quote an air traffic controller instructed pilot of united flight 601 to make a right turn from runway 9. the controller then noticed that care craft was heading into runway left where united flight 137 just departed. the controller issued instructions to both pilots to safely separate the aircraft. according to houston station tv station that air traffic controller may have been in on the job training program but faa wouldn't confirm. you can hear the pilots talking about what happened. one pilot, hey, you know what happened there? another one said, you all basically crossed directly over top of each other. that is what it looked like from my perspective. i had no idea what is going on in the tower, but you know it was pretty gnarly looking. i'm guessing he was supposed to

give us a left turn. in april there was another close call involving you nyed planes at newark airport. one plane was cleared to take off as another plane was cleared to land on runways that intersected. the faa changed rules for takeoffs and landings at that airport after that incident. jon? jon: unfortunately there is a human element involved in all flying and as long as that happens, going to be incidents like this i'm afraid. molly henneberg. thank you. heather: we're learning more about the case of a young california woman who said she was kidnapped 10 years ago. there have been felony charges filed against this man she says took her and we'll tell you why his attorney says that the woman's story is all a big fat lie. our legal panel is here and they will weigh in. plus there's this. a stunning new poll and shedding light on the class of 2014. what millenials are saying about life after graduation and what it could mean for the midterm

these poll numbers. you found 44% of these college grads said they will move home after graduation. 39% said that they are not optimistic about finding a job. and 37% believe they will be worse off than their parents generation. i think that marks the first generation ever to say such a thing. how are you finding the mood of these millenials different from those in previous years? >> yes, heather, the results here are sobering. the at young americas foundation we work with young people to promote ideas of freedom and get them engaged in the society around them but when you come back with results like this where you see 44% of young people moving back home which wasn't in their original plan just because they're being so crushed by student loan debt, when you have 67% of young people in debt between 10,000 and $70,000 with the average there about $35,000, that is too crippling for them. the economy is not helping with youth unemployment high as it is

higher than the general unemployment rate. when you're looking at it, they're coming out of college and hopeless. heather: they're having a hard time finding jobs. unemployment rate average regular americans overall is 6.3%. if you talk about the millennial generation, those aged 20 to 24, it is 10.6%. that is such a huge concern, not just of those millenials but their parents as well. when you talk with them, why are they saying that they can't find jobs? >> a lot of it happens to be because, and it is not for lack of trying, heather, i will say that much. in our poll we found out of those who have not secured employment of any kind, full time or part time, 72% of those who are searching have applied for at least one job and out of that, 20% have applied for 10 jobs or more but only 42% there have actually said that they have been able to maybe get an interview. so what we're seeing is that it is not for lack of trying that they're not getting jobs. it is a matter of the economy being so bad for them right now.

they're looking -- heather: i wonder if they're competing against older people looking for jobs? or if there is tendency to put young people in a lot of unpaid internships? >> i think that is a big part of it too. a lot of them for lack of or fear of not finding a job and going to graduate school an continuing education. not only are they putting off finding employment because they're afraid of not being able to find it but now looking at graduate school taking out more loans obviously and saddling themselves with more debt. heather: okay. >> i think the most sobering statistic, heather, 80% of the people surveyed here, which were college seniors, the issue here they're putting off big life decisions such as marriage, homeownership which will definitely have big impact on the economy moving forward. heather: certainly. where are they placing the blame, if they're placing blame anywhere? republicans, democrats? do they blame this administration? >> i see this as a big, big

target for this administration because of fact policies coming out of washington for some time now really affecting young people. when you see youth unemployment where it is, 10.6% of those between ages of 20 and 24. it is 18.1% for those between the ages of 18 and 26, the policies coming out of this administration and this liberal white house are adversely affecting young people than any other demographic at this point right now. heather: that's funny. you would think that would make them want to turn out in the midterm elections but there is a new harvard poll, 30, 23% said they will vote in the midterm elections. 31% voted in the 2010 elections. wondering why they are not more engaged. we'll continue discussion. get out there to vote and make their voices heard and hope they get some jobs. ashley, thanks. as we get older we need the kids to support us, pay social security. jon: i have two kids out of college, i'm so thankful right now both of them have jobs so.

>> forget secretary shinseki or even president obama. now the media is coming under scandal for focusing on political pandering and shoddy fax checking distracting from the actual conditions contributing to misconduct and facilities around the country. are the mainstream media focusing on diversions? judith miller. both are fox news contributors. there seems to be plenty of blame to go around here. the administration has sort of been dodging it, but what about the media role in all of this? >> the media has been trying to polarize the issue this is been godsey, this is a real one. this is one the president cannot run away from matter how much some in the mainstream media pretend he can.

when 2007 when walter reed was discovered to have serious problems, rachel maddow said it is an outrage, a crisis, unacceptable for a man who took us into war, but when the same things are happening under president obama, this is suddenly a problem in progress. >> is there selective attention being paid by the media? >> i think there is. there is a history of americans in the media when they take serious issues they want to investigate it because the veteran affairs crisis is a dynamic, exciting thing for those who want to know the news. when they are suddenly not interested in the details, you know there is a problem. there are other stories happening that perhaps this in and of itself a distraction like between russia and china with the massive natural gas deal

that affects our relationship regarding the ukraine situation. pretty much that is not getting any coverage at all. you will see looking at how to make this something that is about someone else's fault. i know there is a problem, there is an issue for someone. i don't necessarily want shinseki to go now. for the media it is difficult enough to do a great job of investigating. another thing to spend so much energy avoiding it. >> a quiz he put in his online column, let me read it for our viewers very quickly. he writes news quiz, president obama and administration team hope the americans are dumb, distracted, numb to government inefficiency, all of the above and the answer

is. >> all of the above. he is the kind of take no prisoners, equal problem, equal blame kind of reporter. he and other reporters have done a very good job pointing out what obama has really done well, however this is one problem obama cannot walk away from. he campaigned on this, the treatment of veterans is outrageous, promised to fix it, now he can't say his outrage, mad as hell and already another condition. >> that is the thing that is a little offer some. when we found out about the irs scandal, the president was outraged and yet virtually nothing has happened in more than a year since that came to light. he is mad as hell, but what do we do, weight to see if anything happens?

>> that has been his reaction to some very serious issues facing the american people. this has been predictable, a template if you will, not surprising at all. to see the media respond as if they are perplexed at what is occurring is in and of itself bizarre because we all know this what he does. it is a ritual of his. for the media which is opposed to be the watchdog, obama would have been a better president and every president is a better president when they are questioned and challenge. obama is in dire straits because it has been no challenges on the issue from the media and they are the ones were supposed to be doing it. >> there just seemed to be a lack of passion. he was expressing his outrage, but there didn't seem to be a lot of emotion. >> that is because it is the same mo.

three steps of a reaction of president obama in any crisis. i do think when he says people will have to be accountable even if he mentions his good friend eric shinseki 10 times, he did say he will hold people accountable for the problems but the problems are systemic nts had six years to fix them. >> president's aides blame others for problems, the problems were inherited, low-level officials were responsible. the present with ignorant, he learned about it in the media. he is mad, really mad. >> at this point the president almost seems board. i think he is, don't think he knows really what to do. we talked about the issue of maturity and experience, this speaks to that again as well.

we are past the point now where this is about pandering and shifting to win the news cycle. >> come back again. >> a new developments in a california woman who said she was kidnapped at a teenager by her mother's boyfriend. charges were filed against this man. our legal panel will weigh in. and then look at this, a baby boy on a ledge falls to stories, but it is an amazing rescue all caught on camera, we will tell you how it turned out. memorial day weekend?

good morning to you both. let's talk about what the defense is in this case. >> it is a live report from individual who had millions of opportunities report this crime over the past 10 years, it will be incumbent upon the state to show she had a syndrome she was worried if she reported it they would deport her or worse. i think it will be a major roadblock for the state to prove that. maybe she is lying. >> how do you respond to that? >> if i was the guy prosecuting this case, i would take it. this woman has had ample opportunity. critically when she went to the police it was not to say she had been kidnapped, it was to say she was the subject of domestic abuse.

she had ample opportunities report being in trouble. the statute of limitations runs oanything that may have happened from when she was 15. >> the guy, he has been charged with rape and kidnapping. what is the statute of limitations on that in california? >> my understanding is there is a 10-year window after the individual turns 18. i have until 28. theoretically charges from 10 years ago if proven would fall under the statute of limitations. >> it depends if it was forcible or statutory. it all depends on what they charge. >> there is somewhat of a complicating factor.

they apparently got married legally at some point along the way, they had a child and speculation she went to police because her husband was filing for divorce. in this case it seems to be a mess, i don't know which side to be on here. >> let's not lose sight of the fact domestic violence in this country is a very serious problem. i am not sure this case is an example of it. she is trying to advance her position by making these horrible, horrible accusations. >> let's talk about another case, o.j. simpson. he now wants a new trial, the lawyers are trying to get him released from prison on the armed robbery sentence claiming the trial was tainted surrounded by the acquittal in the murder of nicole brown simpson and ron

goldman. what do you think happens to this case? take us out to that. >> i think oj stays in jail. i know how dedicated he is to finding nicole's killer. his arguments are worthless. the judge said the sentence had nothing to do with the prior acquittal. he had been offered a plea deal which he didn't take. he is not going anywhere soon. >> i agree. and the attorney is throwing a hail mary because this isn't going to happen. you have to find the lawyer was effective and he was innocent. the evidence is overwhelming, this is just a publicity stunt and some attorney wants to file a million page brief, it is not going to fly.

>> it was almost 20,000 words and the court's the limit it can only be 14,000 words. can they not take this case based upon the didn't follow the guidelines? >> what you end up doing, there is no middle of political art. what you can do is file in motion which is usually granted. the problem is the bigger problem is they are throwing everything up against the wall hoping something sticks and that is a surefire way to lose. >> thank you so much, enjoy your weekend. >> thank you. brand-new health alert for you ahead of the weekend. the research showing has a lot of invisible company when you are flying. a company that can make you pretty sick. last night jimmy fallon trying to find you the best drummer in hollywood is.
