scream and curse. todd says people watch. tammy spends her time tweeting. all right. good idea, folks. thanks so much for being part of "real story"." tomorrow i'll be live in l.a. we'll begin with the primary surprise that no one saw coming. eric cantor defeated. >> i want to give thanks endlessly tonight. this is is the happiest moment of my life. >> i know there are a lot of long faces here tonight. it's disappointing. >> what does this disappointment mean for the republican party right now and in the months ahead? who leads now? and can any work get done now for the country? what does this mean for 2016 reports and analysis. let's get to it.
12:01 pm
first this wednesday afternoon, the number two republican in the house of representatives is stepping down from his seat and gop leadership after the epic upset that a source in congress tells fox news has members and i quote, freaking out right now. fox news confirmed that eric cantor told fellow lawmakers he'll resign from his leadership at the end of july. we expect a formal announcement in 1 1/2 hours. as you have probably heard, a little known political newcomer trounced eric cantor, double digits in virginia's seventh district primary. a shocker nobody including the winner saw coming. eric cantor spent 26 times more campaign cash than his rival. the professor from college, david brat. in fact, "the new york times" reports now that eric cantor spent tens of thousands on steak dinners than brat spent on the whole campaign. supporters at cantor headquarters seemed stunned as the results came in.
12:02 pm
at one point someone turned off the giant screen showing rules coming in. eric cantor came to the stage and conceded he came up short. >> serving as the seventh district congressman and then having the privilege to be majority leader has been one of the highest honors of my life. >> the winner of the seventh district, david brat, in the primary obviously reached out to tea party voters and attacked eric cantor saying he supported amnesty for illegals. that counters what cantor said he was against amnesty didn't matter to many voters. brat spoke to sean hannity after the win. >> i ran on rule of law, property rights. i ran on immigration. i don't think those are right and left issues. i think those are just free market constitutional issues. >> they were winners for him. his primary win not only shakes up the republican leadership but analysts say it could affect everything from which bills congress takes up to who scores the republican presidential
12:03 pm
nomination in 2016. think of this. a republican leader at this level had not been ousted in a primary since the 1800s and this leader got beaten from the political right in his own party despite the fact that eric cantor had a 95% conservative rating from the american conservative union. 95% conservative lifetime. got beaten despite the fact that he stood in lockstep against the white house on almost every issue imaginable. eric cantor was not conservative enough. he was seen as squishy on immigration reform and now he's out. we go live to washington. cantor's own district polls show voters on the majority were in favor of some sort of immigration reform. what happened? >> you're talking about a poll of both republicans and democrats in the district overall and primaries in the republican party tend to be conservatives. this had a higher turnout than past races.
12:04 pm
it wasn the truth is the republican party -- for the republican party amnesty is an alarm bell. and mr. brat used it very, very effectively against eric cantor. cantor said and john boehner have said for the last couple of years that they will not take up the senate passed comprehensive immigration reform bill because they say that's amnesty. what cantor suggested was possible was taking up smaller pieces of legislation and for that brat pounded him and it did have an effect. by the economic professor's own acknowledgement, that was only part of it. this was against washington's inability to get things done. this was in part that eric cantor didn't seem to be in touch with voters. he spent more time in d.c. and certainly a heck of a lot more money than mr. brat did. as a consequence, brat was able to knit together a coalition that shocked that virginia seventh district and the
12:05 pm
republican party here in washington. it was a slam dunk. the cantor people right up until the polls closed last night never saw it coming. said as much repeatedly last night. >> who wants this leadership position and what will the change in leadership mean, first for 2014 and then 2016, which is a whole different thing. >> there's a whole bunch of different scenarios that can take place. cantor said he would leave the majority speaker position by july 31st. there's a chance that speaker boehner may appoint an interim speaker until there is an election. that could be an election that could come within the next week or so. it could be that fast or it could be after cantor leaves. general thinking here is republicans want to get this out of the way. it's a huge distraction. it means that any member of the republican conference who wants to run for office is going to be more focused on that than they are on legislative calendar. so the current house republican whip is kevin mccarthy from california.
12:06 pm
he wants to move up and become the majority leader to replace eric cantor but texas congressman pete sessions who chairs the house rules committee has been making phone calls to gauge support about a possible run against mccarthy. and then you have a question of what would happen to the current chief deputy whip. that's illinois congressman. he wants to become the whip and replace mccarthy assuming mccarthy moves up but will face challenges from conservatives particularly the louisiana congressman, chairman of the republican study group, the conference internally with republicans that's the most conservative. there's also texas congressman who could run and to give you an idea of how angry some republicans are here, steve king on the right-hand side of your screen, a republican from iowa, he and a handful of others have been quietly whispering they should boost the entire leadership team including boehner and start fresh. that's not going to happen. boehner isn't going anywhere. they need some form of stability
12:07 pm
through this transition period and as one said, it can't just be "lord of the flies." >> i watch this channel and i heard republican analyst after republican analyst say that if republicans are seen as blocking immigration reform, they don't get latino votes and they're not a national party anymore. they're a congressional party but they can't win the white house. is that still true and does this play into that in 2016? >> because of redistricting and the way in which those districts are, republicans know the primaries will be very conservative and comprehensive immigration reform or anything called amnesty will not go well. the internal upheaval in this leadership election could slow down the legislative agenda. immigration reform never had much of a chance to pass in the large bill this election year any way. now, with attacks on cantor for supporting amnesty which cantor would argue he never did, it means it will be really tough to
12:08 pm
get anything done if there was ever much of a chance any way. the other aspect of this is it slows everything down in terms of appropriations in the budget. many key players on capitol hill on the republican side are now going to be wondering if they can get an internal leadership promotion. >> i bet they are. wow. carl cameron on capitol hill. thanks very much. good to see you. we've got breaking news while we're going through that. the truck driver that faces charges after the deadly wreck that involved actor tracy morgan just appeared in court a few minutes ago and he entered a plea of not guilty. the driver is a guy named kevin roper facing charges of death by auto. he drives a truck for walmart. prosecutors say he had been awake for more than 24 hours. he admitted that to them and didn't notice traffic ahead of him slowed down because he was too tired. he swerved and crashed into the back of tracy morgan's limo bus. morgan has broken ribs, broken nose, broken leg. he was critical. the crash killed james mcnair
12:09 pm
and hurt several other people. this happened on the new jersey turnpike halfway between new york and philly. since then somebody claiming to be kevin roper tweeted about this case. several media organizations report it is in fact he, though i can't confirm that. one of the most recent tweets reads i thought in our country we had the right to be innocent until proven guilty. that doesn't sell newspapers and get website hits. of course he is innocent until proven guilty. for its part, walmart claims roper is not on social media and this is a bust and he was following federal safety regulations when the crash happened in the first place. we get more on this from our newsroom in new york city. >> you mentioned prosecutors claim he was awake for more than 24 hours and that's an important detail under new jersey law. if a driver has been awake for more than 24 hours, it can legally speak to whether he was driving recklessly. we've not been able to contact kevin roper or his attorney but that person who claims to be him on twitter denies after saying he was awake for 24 hours
12:10 pm
tweeting "these are lies being spread because they are pressured to make an arrest as this accident was covered nationally because a famous person was involved." he also tweeted to please remember he wasn't drunk or high and a precious life was lost but it was an accident and it should be noted that walmart denies kevin roper even has a twitter account. we're learning more details about how horrific the crash was. a passenger inside the limo said "there was no window in the limo so he couldn't brace for anything and there was crunching metal all around me." legal experts say the tricky part is proving he hadn't slept for more than 24 hours and if convicted he could face more than ten years in prison. >> let's get legal analysis now. we have a former new jersey superior court justice, the state where this case is
12:11 pm
happening. the most serious is death by auto. what's the bar for conviction on that? >> the penalty for death by auto is five to ten years with no prior presumptive term is seven years. the prosecution would have to prove not only he was driving a car and that somebody died but that his behavior was so reckless and wanton he didn't know what he was doing or didn't care if somebody died. 75 miles an hour on the highway is not reckless. 75 miles an hour in times square would be reckless. driving for a period of 24 hours without sleep absolutely would be reckless. if as the police report says -- i read it before i came in here -- he told the police that he had been driving for 24 hours, that is clearly reckless given the size of the vehicle he was driving and the location where he was driving it and the speed that he was traveling. so if a jury believes the police who say he told us he was driving this length of time, he's guilty.
12:12 pm
>> is walmart in any trouble? could walmart face lawsuits? >> yes. walmart will certainly face lawsuits from the estate of jimmy mcnair, from the comedian who was battered and bruised and broken bones and anybody else that was injured. i don't know and we can't find out if walmart is self-insured or has an insurance policy. if they have an insurance policy and backup insurance policy, it will probably cover all of it. walmart is worth many billions and it's clear they would have assets to cover this. the plaintiffs would have to prove that walmart knew that he was driving for 24 hours without sleep or didn't know that he was driving for 24 hours without sleep and let him drive their vehicle anyway. either way walmart is on the hook. >> is there a chance that this person according to police caused this crash that he might go free? >> well, there's always a chance that he might go free.
12:13 pm
i mean, look, maybe he didn't tell the police that he was up for 24 hours. >> that would be a weird lie for cops to tell. >> it would be absurd for police to put that in the police report. maybe he's not the person that's doing this tweeting. maybe he would get on the witness stand and be credible and police would testify against him and not be credible. these are big ifs. it seems like a slam dunk case against him. i have to tell you, not just because the injured and deceased are celebrities but because the behavior on a public roadway was utterly reprehensible, absolutely unacceptable and completely, completely unlawful. >> judge napolitano, he just plead not guilty in a courtroom. thank you, judge. >> of course. remember the las vegas shooting where the couple shot and killed police officers and then went on their rampage? there's video of that couple committing suicide. and we have it.
12:14 pm
we'll play it tastefully but we want you to see the rest of this story. killed two cops. we'll be right back. you know that dream... on my count. the one where you step up and save the day? make it happen.

12:17 pm
right thing to do in the case of bowe bergdahl? that's what we're getting to the bottom of now we're told. either that or some big political show. lawmakers today questioned the defense secretary chuck hagel over that prisoner swap. critics on both sides of the political aisle, some of them complained that the white house failed to notify them of the deal, which it did. but today secretary hagel testified that the exchange needed to take place quickly, efficiently and quietly. >> as the opportunity to obtain sergeant bergdahl's release became clear, we grew increasingly concerned that any delay or any leaks could derail the deal and further endanger sergeant bergdahl. >> they went on and on with this and hearing ended just a short time ago and our congressional guy is keeping up on it. what else happened, mike? >> reporter: there were questions about who ultimately made the call. hagel said it was commander in chief and questions about the taliban five. the five guys who were at guantanamo who were given up for
12:18 pm
exchange for bowe bergdahl and what happens if they return to the battlefield and one lawmaker asked who picked them? >> who specifically s particular detainees that were transferred? >> five detainees that were transferred had been the subject of conversation and negotiation over a period of time. where those five individuals initially came from, i don't know the history into that. >> reporter: the concern from some lawmakers is that the taliban itself picked those five so that's why he was trying to get to the bottom of that issue with the defense secretary. >> we've been hearing those five names since 2012, mike. those names are not a surprise to anybody on capitol hill who has been paying attention to this, are they? they're just not. that's just not true. >> reporter: there are some who were hoping perhaps you could give away some lower level fighters and they're saying these guys were kind of the dream team, if you will, of the
12:19 pm
taliban so that's why they were trying to get to the bottom of whether the united states offered them or whether that was whether that was what the taliban demanded to get to the bottom of negotiations and there was questions about congressional notification. the chairman said if you told congress, there wouldn't have been much pushback. >> i know the president put a signing statement when he signed the law that had that 30-day requirement in it saying he was concerned about the constitutionality of. the law is the law. the way you challenge constitutionality is you go to court and figure out whether or not the court says it's constitutional or not. until the courts rule on that, it's the law. >> reporter: a few fireworks. marathon session on capitol hill but the first open hearing after closed hearings didn't change opinions up here. interesting to see if things change now that hagel has been on the hot seat. >> it will get louder. what do you bet? >> safe bet for that.
12:20 pm
>> mike, thanks a lot. we spent $17 billion by estimates that i've read trying to get iraqi security forces ready to take over iraq and make the place safe. $17 billion. iraq is being lost to the terrorists as we speak. they are on the move toward baghdad. they want to spread it all over the middle east. the iraq war today's version, security forces abandoned their post. many left the military. their weapons, their tanks, they have fallen into the hands of a terrorist group that was so bad al qaeda dumped it. the new reality in iraq will turn your stomach. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

12:24 pm
iraq is an unfolding disaster. give me three minutes and we'll work through it. the united states spent $17 billion to help train and equip iraqi security forces. today they are losing quickly and badly. they're deserting the iraqi military and their weapons are being left behind where the terrorists picked them up and not just any terrorists. this group is so extreme that al qaeda cut ties with it and is now in control of an enormous swath of that country. the group is so organized and well equipped that it controls entire cities and regions and is fast approaching baghdad. that's amateur video, which we're told shows two iraqi military vehicles on fire in saddam hussein's hometown of tikrit. officials say militants are now in control of that city and others in the northern part of the country.
12:25 pm
officials say extremists have rampaged police stations and military bases and even an airport while forcing the iraqi military to abandon it all. i'll show you the extent of it in just a second. first our slide show. these are refugees right now leaving mosul. militants overran that area earlier this week and now terrorists control it. hundreds of people have reportedly now left. here you can see military forces lined up in battle but so many get leave from the military and then don't come back to the military. it has heightened security concerns throughout the region. even in baghdad. a little background now, these militants belong to a group called islamic state of iraq and syria or isis. this is the guy in charge. some analysts call him the world's most powerful jihady leader. he's also said to be more violent and more anti-american than osama bin laden ever was. let's head over to the wall
12:26 pm
here. i want you to see this big swath. everything in red here is now controlled by these extremists that were too extreme for the taliban. see that over in syria, they are almost there. that border doesn't mean anything to them. these lines are lines that have been drawn by other people. it hasn't changed their live its. these people don't identify themselves as syrians and iraqi, they're sunni and shia. remember mosul? it's gone. the terrorists took it from the iraqi military. tikrit, saddam's hometown, gone. extremists control that kirkuk, members of military abandoning. remember the battles in fallujah for years. fallujah has gone to the terrorists. this is baghdad. 70 miles away. baghdad, they're on the way. iraq's prime minister says the
12:27 pm
military is regrouping but there is no sign of that actually happening. other fighters aligned with the terrorists are reportedly battling forces as i showed you 70 miles from iraq's capital and at the root of all of this, differences in religion and tribal allegiancallegiance alle. the goal was to make them think more nationalistic than tribal, not sectarian. something iraq has never been and it still isn't. we spent $17 billion and 4,489 of our soldiers lost their lives and iraq today is getting lost to the terrorists. $17 billion americlater.
12:28 pm
how did we not see this coming? >> this argument was made in 2002 when there was a republican administration for a reason not to go into iraq in the first place. it was made to a democratic administration over the years previous to withdrawal of u.s. troops to leave u.s. troops there to be a trip wire and you wouldn't have this event and there would be a backup and air cover for the iraqi military. so it's been made -- it was made by two different administrations, u.s. involvement in iraq was a dicey proposition and we see the results of that dicey proposition. you see dissolution of iraq. al maliki is not able to form a proper allegiance and you see an iraqi military melt in the face of the onslaught. it feels like vietnam all over again. a quick retreat by the south
12:29 pm
vietnamese, the iraqi soldiers, and dumping of incredible military stores in the hands of militants who will not only use it in iraq but use it in syria as well. >> that's why i want to come back over here. that's why we're being asked to support the rebels in syria now because what's happened is remember all the weapons we gave them, we gave them weapons. we gave them tanks. we gave them body armor. we gave them ammunition. we gave them training. and everything but the training they just dumped. they put on their clothes and went home to mom and dad or home to the wife and kids and the terrorists have taken those tanks and all the weapons and they've taken it over into syria. so what's going to happen now in syria? the militants against whom we have taken sides now have the weapons which we gave the iraqis. >> this was a concern of the obama administration if they armed the so-called more moderate elements within the rebels in syria. the same thing could happen. you would arm them and they
12:30 pm
would be overrun and the weapons would then be in the hands of the head of issa who is a player. active militants unlike the leadership of al qaeda which is much more cautious and he apparently knows how to avoid being detected. his movements are not as well known as the previous leaders of al qaeda in iraq who were killed as a result of the u.s. identifying them. >> how great is the fear, first, that we'll get drawn into syria to help fight the enemy of our enemy and further that if baghdad falls, we'll find ourselves back in that no win situation again. >> the concern throughout the region is pretty high right now. the u.s. apparently has already chartered its course. it doesn't want to get dragged back into syria.
12:31 pm
it was after the west of iraq the anbar awakening. it was tribal leaders saying we don't want al qaeda in our towns so we're going to help the americans get rid of them. now what's happening is that they are allowing the militants to use their territory because they feel put off by the al maliki government in baghdad. >> we're sunni. we're shia. we are not iraqis. those borders don't mean anything to them. >> that's the ultimate statement on the al maliki government, it wasn't able to transcend those differences and not able to seize the moment when the u.s. had supported iraq and there was stability 2 1/2 years ago to make a new iraq. that didn't happen. >> there might have been stability but history books tell us this has never happened.
12:32 pm
this was something drawn up in our minds. we thought he would make them change the way they thought five times longer than we've been a nation. you wonder how anyone -- we have four seconds. >> u.s. is worried now, how much does baghdad look to iran for support? replace your laptop? start with the best writing experience. make it incredibly thin. add an adjustable kickstand, a keyboard, a usb port, and the freedom of touch. and, of course, make it run microsoft office,

12:38 pm
police say they had expressed anti-government views before the killing spree. 20 years after the murders of ron goldman and nicole brown simpson, goldman's sister says one of o.j. simpson's lawyer joined the legal dream team to avoid testifying in the case. that lawyer was attorney robert kardashian, father of the reality tv star kim kardashian. he reportedly took a garment bag from simpson's home the day after the murders. prosecutors suggested all along, almost every day of that trial, that that bag is what contained o.j.'s bloody clothes. maybe even the murder weapon. nobody could even find out. all they knew was there was a trail of blood from rockingham to bundy. a whole trail of it. somehow that didn't convict. kardashian argued he never even looked inside that bag. his friend, robert kardashian, never looked and later turned it over to the court. before he died in 2003, he admitted he had doubts about
12:39 pm
o.j.'s innocence. o.j. simpson weeventually went prison for an armed rob ybery ia vegas hotel room in '07. meantime, ron goldman's sister says just three years after the killings, she saw o.j. crossing a parking lot and considered running over him. she says she couldn't do it. kim goldman is with us now. do you wish you had? >> no. that's not who i am. i don't have that violence in me. i did fantasize. it was 18 years ago. >> i remember talking to you in the year after and during the trial and you were, like, he killed my family member. >> yeah. i think people have a hard time now because the title of my book is "can't forgive" people wonder how i can't forgive and still have rage in my heart. i'm managing.
12:40 pm
it's appropriate anger that i have towards him and appropriate grief for the loss of my brother. >> are you surprised in any way that there hasn't come a time, a sort of come to jesus moment, where he just laid it all out? >> i mean, my feeling, he wrote that book and that was his way of righting the wrongs. i think of the things he said people thought of him and that was his confession. i don't think anything else will come after that. >> why did you write the book? >> i wanted to talk about closure and forgiveness. i wanted to show myself that i am taller than i used to be. i'm standing prouder. i want to leave a legacy for my son. i think it's important for victims and survivors to pick up the pieces and to march on and an important time for me to get my voice back. >> been through a lot of murder trials. never been through one with so much evidence and never seen families quite as torn as yours
12:41 pm
was. >> you know, we were there every day. we watched everything right along with the media. it was really heartbreaking for us to see the verdict come down the way that it was because in some way we felt like we had betrayed ron or let him down and we didn't work hard enough. our goal was to make sure that his name was remembered and his face was remembered and his legacy was honored. the rest of it was out of our control. we did the best that we could at that time. >> it's been 20 years. how's everyone doing? >> we're plugging around. we're baby step kind of people. every day is a new day. i have a beautiful son that i'm raising. he's 10. i'm counseling teens. i run a nonprofit organization. i get to give back and work with victims and survivors and my dad is thriving in arizona and we're plugging along. >> when you look back, i know there wasn't one moment but the trying on of the gloves was a complete and utter disaster. >> you know, when you're sitting there, you don't think it is because it's fitting. for me i was watching it happen.
12:42 pm
>> it actually was. >> i think that's the part that was so frustrating because -- >> he didn't pull it. >> i was watching the theatrics of how that went down. there's lots of moments that strike me as upsetting and odd. you know, i think loss control in that courtroom. i don't know if he had it to begin with. it got away from us from the very beginning and that did a detriment to the outcome. >> were you in touch yet with this possibility that he might actually walk free? i remember standing in front of the courthouse the day of the verdict not knowing and wond wondering if he's not guilty do we run to vegas? >> i don't think i walked into the courtroom thinking we nailed it. i don't think i thought he would be acquitted either. i'm not sure what i was thinking. i think when we walked into that courtroom with him being the celebrity he was and carrying that with him, we lost the case
12:43 pm
then. i think that marcia and chris had a tremendous amount of evidence and a lot of confidence in their case as they should because everything pointed to one person. at some point we were up against something that was far bigger than any of us could understand. >> ever had any contact with any of his kids? >> no. we've never had any reason to other than when the idea of a book came about there was issues ro around the company he formed. >> did you get any money of the settlement? >> our judgment is over 40 million. we've collected less than 1% and we will as long as we need to. >> why should someone buy your book? >> it's from my heart. it's authentic. it's who i am. it paints a really beautiful story of a victim and survivor living a life with beauty and honor and i'm proud of the woman that i am today and all of the things that i've been able to accomplish in the face of adversity and it's just from my heart. >> good for you. >> thanks. >> nice to see you again. >> thank you. >> i can't believe it's been 20
12:44 pm
years. >> crazy. >> i was thinking about the biggest memories of that were. i wondered if there was a family roller coaster every day. were you crying over each other every day? >> we went to court every day. we would get home and listen to the news and argue with the tv because we thought they got it wrong. it was really emotional having people in front of our house calling constantly. everywhere we went it was around us. sometimes we wanted to hide from it but we couldn't. >> if you hid, that's better pictures. >> you know, ultimately the support that we garnered from people was so incredible and so welcome and we embraced that. >> to your brother, nice to see you. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. what's your favorite kind of cheerios? honey nut. but... chocolate is my other favorite... oh yeah, and frosted! what's your most favorite of all? hmm...the kind i have with you. me too. a yummy reward is important so i give butch delicious milo's kitchen chicken grillers recipe dog treats.
