tv Happening Now FOX News May 29, 2014 10:00am-11:01am PDT
10:00 am
and i guess. i guess i am a fan of tony the tiger. >> hey, it is fun to have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> we'll see you on outnumbered tomorrow. for now happening now. we start off with a fox news alert. the white house on the record after a blistering watch dog report on the medical care or lack thereof, given to our nation's veterans. >> i am jenna lee. >> and i am jon scott. they are talking about the accidental outing of the cia chief in kabul. and the president's speech at west point and the ongoing scandal in the veterans administration. >> reporter: the new york times said the president missed an
10:01 am
opportunity to explain his foreign policy and the washington post said his foreign policy ties america's grand. the post accused him of mischaracterizing his critics and accusing them of believing that every problem has a military solution. the veteran's administration problems are system wide and not isolated to phoenix where the first reports emerged of officials hiding the time vets waited for medical care. the wait was four months. more democrats calling for va secretary shinseki to resign. house speaker boehner is not sure he is the problem. >> the question i ask myself, is him resigning going to get us to the bottom of the problem? is it going to help us find out what is going on. and the answer i get is no. the real issue is that the
10:02 am
president should be held accountable. >> reporter: today is mr. obama's press secretary briefing since the president's visit for afghanistan when they were told the name of the cia station chief. the white house relayed a list provided by the military and there are different opinions about whether the station's chief should have been on the list given to the white house press office or if the white house should have removed it. cia asked reporters not to do the story sense the list went out before it was replaced with a version without the station chief's game. wend all, thank you. >> we await jay carney and bring you back to the press briefing room when he steps to the briefing room. we heard from speaker boehner on the va scandal. house republicans are meeting to
10:03 am
discuss the ongoing problems in the veteran's affairs department. there is a title wave of calls for secretary shinseki to resign. not just republicans. seven democratic senators calling on the top va official to step down and along with 16 democratic house members. chris wallace is on fox news sunday. it seems that everybody is outraged. chris, based on your reporting, does anyone have a plan on how to fix this? >> partial plans, jenna, things like what the va could have done for sometime to allow the veterans that are waiting 115 days to see a doctor to go to a private doctor and the va had that authority. and va secretary shin shen said over the weekend, that they could do that. and you know, there could be a wider plan for that private
10:04 am
voucher system. in terms of figuring out the problem and a huge increase in the number of veterans seeking primary care visits, like a 50 percent increase over the last three years, you obviously even though they spent billions more in a va budget you have too few doctors. there are serious problems that have to be addressed. that would be a immediate one and than say look you can see a private doctor right away. >> could congress make that happen for the veterans in the meantime? >> the va has the authority to do. that congress doesn't need to do anything. eric shinseki, the va secretary as i said over the weekend, he said anybody who wants to see a doctor, we'll get them a voucher to go see the doctor. that could make it a more
10:05 am
proactive plan. >> speaking of shinseki, it feels like a title wave, different law makers asking for shinseki to resign. do you think that he finally does? >> he seems to be toxic at this point. and the real key as you pointed out, you can see democrats and not republicans and not members of the loyal opposition, but democrats who feel that shinseki may not be good for the literal health for veterans but not so good for the political health. mostly senators seeking reelection this year and in addition to several candidates and democrats running for the senate. grimes is runs against mcconnell in kentucky. and they have called for shinseki to step down. they feel longer it continues
10:06 am
and the more it hurts their campaign. not that shinseki is leaving, fixes the va, but it would be seen by the candidates running for election something good for their political help. >> there is a political impact and it feels off some what. talk about the political implications. but we are talking about people's lives here in the va system. which brings us to a broader point beyond the politics. senator mccain is calling for the fbi to investigate. with charges of criminality. how does that impact the politics and how does the issue grow in dc? >> it is a politically potent issue. it is nonpolitical. and we'll see what the contradiction is there. it doesn't matter if you are a republican or liberal or
10:07 am
conservative, you care about the ones defending our country and suffering mental and physical wounds and they are having to wait 115 days. imagine making an appointment in june. and they say we can see you end of september. these are people who were harmed to defend the country and they are getting that kind of a brush-off. it is so politically devastating from the democrats and not sosay they are literally responsible for. it but the broad brush about ang this. >> chris, how does jay carn sxet white house address this today if at all? >> well, the decision has been made obviously.
10:08 am
they know that this is on everybody's mind. and a decision is made whether shinseki will leave or not leave. and let's assume that the president is not going to get rid of him today, they have to talk about waiting for more studies and interim actions and i suspect he will face questioning as to where eric shinseki, presiding over the va, who presided over the va over the entire length of the obama administration. before briefings take place, the top official sat down with the press secretary in any administration to discuss and a roleplay. and they ask me this, what is our response. and if he is late, what do you day. you have the report and you wanted to wait for the report
10:09 am
and you can see the problem. wais your answer. >> they will have to wait and see right now nothing changes. we look forward to sos you on sunday. >> and a big interview with chris on sunday. he will sit down with republican congressman jeff miler from florida. and joining chris. a va whistle blowers. nrngs and one more score score about the hard- earned tax dollars. medicare paid out 7 billion for health care visits that were billed in the wrong rate or lacked documentation in the visit. these payments amounted to 21 percent of the medicare's budget
10:10 am
for dinoftec visits. >> there is a selling. and the u.s. economy shank in the first quarter. it is a drop in business spending and closer pace in inventory accumulation. and the economy is contracting instead of growing which was the first rating on the economy. and some say that this is only temporary. and we'll wait for a time reading on the gdh. >> front the number of people eke seeking unemployment benefits to three thereined. they are cutting fewer yobs. and it may beoccing up's bit. the dow up a handful of points. and not a on on always going, go

the fox fews today. the fight to get a u.s. marine 14 from a mexico prison takes a new turn. the marine remains in jail where he's been two months on gun charges after he accidentally crossed the border in to mexico. >> here's the latest, william. >> reporter: his supporters are looking for a political solution from the u.s. and arguing that the punishment does not fit the crime. he was arriving yesterday for the court appearance. soon after his arrest, he is going to tell in a interview. he was stripped naked and chained to a bed and beaten until he could not breathe.
10:12 am

10:13 am
his mother found him on a consulate website. and against andrews wishes submitted a false statement. the e-mail to admit he was there previously would undermine and make his story less credible. >> he called me up and we are in the 72 hours of arrest, mom, where did you get that attorney? >> he just made me lie. >> she said you told him to lie. what is your response? >> my response is no. i don't want to get into that. we have had our differences about how things happen. >> tamrisi will argue that the totality of the circumstances should result in his release. >> what a story. tragedy in the skies averted once again. federal investigators looking in

10:36 am
today homeland security jay johnson said the idea is to create time in the election year and law makers take another stab at comprehepgz reform. the house calls it amnesty and it is dead on a arrival. and still house speaker boehner and eric cantor said there is willingness to pass reforms this year but need to be smaller and responsible. it is it a huge dispute. liberals said the president accelerated deportation and should dial them back. conservatives argue that the president admitted the numbers are some what misleading and enforce laws differently. the numbers are changed and what happened the administration is including in the numbers. people caught and returned immediately in the border. previous administrations never have done. that there is not a lot of time

to sort it out. the house takes next week off. and july another week off. and jon, you know this, rarely does the house work three days a week and take the entire month of august off. if anything passes this year, it is not likely to occur until after the november elections. and all of the politicians here know that most legislation is during the holidays and they will never have to face the voters for two years, jon. >> those are our hard- working representative in washington. >> you got it. >> thank you. check it out. new technology that is trying to address something that is impacting a third of our country. a devastating drought. 40 percent of the land mass is classified to moderate to exceptional drought in fact. and if we 0, in the state of

10:41 am
working with us to reduce the backlog. he's put his heart and soul into this thing and taken it seriously. when it comes to the current situation inquiries and allegations, the president wants to see the results of these reports, he as you know made clear that he believes there ought to be accountability once we establish the facts. >> does that leave open the question of whether secretary shinseki can lead the apartment. >> the president identified that he expected a preliminary report from secretary shinseki's internal audit very soon and when he receives that, he will be able to evaluate those findings along with what we have seen from the inspector general. and assess where we are at that time. >> is it fair to say that the white house moved from the point
10:42 am
where the president has confidence in secretary shinseki. >> i think the president himself made clear his views and how he will assess the issue of accountability when it comes to the accusations of mismanagement and misconduct in the va. >> he ordered up the internal audit that secretary shinseki has undertaken. and that is involving more than 200 people. he expects to receive a preliminary report very soon. as he mentioned last week from the podium and we'll be interested in the results. and your understanding that the president will wait until that that is a review and whatever rob neighbors is working on. and before making a decision on leadership. >> i am not going to speculate
10:43 am
more about personnel and i almost never do. what matters most to the president, is making sure we are not waiting for preliminary and interim reports to take action to insure that veterans are getting better care and service more quickly. that's why the steps are undertaken by the va. and he expects further action to be taken so that the most important mission we have here, which is providing benefits and health care to the veterans is performed effectively. >> what is the status of that report from the va, and secretary shinseki, has the president set dead lines and will you make it public? >> i don't have anything from the president. he expected a preliminary report from the secretary by the end of this week. >> and following the ig report
10:44 am
that the president described troubling. you mentioned that they are health care issues and that has the president instruct to get that done? >> the president made clear last week, even as the separate inquiries were conducted, both the independent ig's investigation and the internal audit, that he asked secretary shinseki to conduct. there is a broader review that his advisor rob neighbors is conducting. there ought to be action taken to improve care and service to the veterans based on the information we do have. yes, when it comes to acting now and based on what we do know in improving care to veterans and while we await the results from the inquiries. >> there is a follow-up question.
10:45 am
does the fact that so many congressman call for secretary shinseki include the members of the presidential party suggest that the secretary lost the public's confidence in the way it makes it impossible for him to do his job properly? >> the president is focused first and foremost on the need to address the problems that has impeded the quality and speed of care and benefits that our veterans have been receiving. he's also committed to making sure that people are held accountable. if it is established there was misconduct or mismanagement, but we can take action on the former and while we await assessments on the latter. he is extremely troubled as we said yesterday about the prelimary results reported by the ia g. and looks forward to a full investigation by the inspector general and the results of that
10:46 am
investigation. he also anticipates receiving the preliminary results of secretary shinseki's internal review very soon, and the full completion of that review. and then there is a third tract. the broader review of the operations that rob neighbors is overseeing on assignment from the white house to the va. all of these investigations are important and they should not preclude taking action where the va can speed up service to our veterans in the areas that is identified that the waits are to long. >> and just one other topic, the regulations expected on the emissions from coal plants. is highly controversial.
10:47 am
how has the white house planned to present the plan to the public and a neighbor of members of the president's own party are expressing concern about it in the states of kentucky and west virginia? >> i would say a couple of things. first of all we have a moral obligation to leave our children a planet. >> that is the guy whose job i would not want. jay carney dealing with the questions on the veteran's administration scandal. he said the president is committed to making sure that the people are held accountable and so far there is not much of that happening it would seem. he's getting in explanation about the president's new coal rules that will not be popular in states like west virginia. we'll monitor that news conference live if jay carney
10:48 am

plus, shocking new numbers on the rise of measle cases right here in the united states. and while most people think teens shouldn't be sending nude selfies, should the school be able to go through their phone and be able to ban them from prom for having one on their phone? a controversial move at one of the schools. we'll be talking about it at the top of the hour. stuff on a phone. now there's an app for saving strangers' lives. a volunteer firefighter helps a man who was going into cardiac arrest after getting alert on his phone. a smartphone app called pulse point knows when someone calls 911 and the app searches the nearby area to see if there's anyone else with the app who can help. and on may 9th in portland, oregon, it worked. scott brawner was off duty working out at the gym when his
10:53 am
phone got a pulse point alert. said a man nearby needed cpr. he followed the map provided and found drew bass in less than a minute. bass was slumped over in his car in cardiac arrest. he performed cpr until paramedics arrived. the doctor who later treated him said those early minutes were critical in saving his life and health. >> there's very few things that the general public can do in their day-to-day lives where they can make such an impact in one of their fellow citizens. >> and later got to meet the man whose life he saved. >> it was really emotional. i met him a week ago and i've been there twice and met his family, his children, his grandchildren. and it's -- it's pretty amazing connection. >> well, bass is in stable condition and should be able to leave the hospital soon. the pulse point app is free for ios and android devices.
10:54 am
>> it's a great story. patty, thank you. and we'll take the technology one step further. there's a revolution underway involving technology you can wear. including the t-shirt you see on your screen there that can monitor your heart rate and breathing while you're working out or walking around. and we talked about technology on babies' onesies. that monitor their vital signs. this is taking this technology to the mass market. let's bring in kevin campbell, practicing cardiologist with us as well as shane snow, a technology journalist. it's nice to have both sides of these stories. this is my heart rate monitor. you used to wear. this goes around your waist and got the watch, it's monitoring your heart. it's positively old fashioned at this point. what do you think about the t-shirts that do it for you? >> an amazing technology. it allows us to really optimize our training and participate in our own health care in a way that we can prevent disease and we can treat disease better so
10:55 am
you don't have to run back and forth to the doctor all the time. >> how does it work exactly? >> well, essentially the same way they've always worked only it's taking the computer out of the device you're wearing. so any time you have a heart monitor, there's a sensor and a computer. now we all carry computers in our pockets. so they are building sensors that are small enough to be woven into fabric which cuts down the barrier to entry for any of us too lazy to go buy a heart monitor, right? >> it is a little cumbersome, too. it's not super comfortable, as well. one of the t-shirts we've been looking at. you can wash the t-shirt and take it out. but do people really know what to do with the information? it's great to have information, but do we all know what to do with the information once we have it? whether it's our heart rate or anything else? >> i think that's the struggle. we're going to have large amounts of data in these data silos that are all biologics. and we've got to work with our physicians to understand how to interpret that data and act on that data. otherwise it's garbage in equals
10:56 am
garbage out. >> what happens if you're on a date and you're monitoring your heart rate to see how it goes, you know. what about the danger of the technology? is there a danger associated with? can you get electrocuted or something from it? >> so far, there's nothing on that. people will wonder just in the same way that we wonder with cell phones mess with our brains. i think the neat thing about it is that, well, you know, right now you and i -- we have no reason to wear a heart monitor day in and day out. >> right. >> if you're an athlete and really sick, you might. but if there's no -- nothing stopping us from putting on a shirt. if it's built in, we can be forewarned when there's something wrong with us. >> do you see any danger or just an upside? >> i see an upside because we know, lots of studies that show patients engaged in their own health care outcomes improve and health care dollars are saved. so if i can engage my patients because they are participating in their own care because they have this data to act on, then i think it's all upside.
