we'll so you back here at noon eastern. >> three developing stories, live look at capitol hill. and a surge of immigrants crossing the border and the irs targeting scandal. challenger chris mcdaniel hoping to unsociety tha d mccrockrin. would a daniel win put the gop at risk of losing to democrats in december. and a sudannes was released from the prison yesterday and now been arrested again. what happened this time? >> and a heated hearing on capitol hill. welcome to a new hour of happening now. i am jenna lee. >> and i am jon scott. what is the agency doing to slow the flow of thousands of illegal

imdprants and many of them unaccompanied children from central america. it is so bad, border agents and facilities and law makers are sounding off. >> regardless of how we feel about immigration reform in this country, how can we watch the country's national sovereignty, violated over and over on our southern border. >> this humanitarian crisis will be laid directly at the feet of president obama and we need to protect america by getting our neighbor's attention and instead of increasing funding. hundreds of millions of dollars that the the president called for i think we need to stop the aid immediately. >> we are talking about large numbers of parents that arrived out of our border and hungry and scared and vulnerable. and how we treat the children in

particular is a reflection of our laws and values. and chairman. house home land committee. and congressman it is nice to let you on the program and i would like to start with the results of this one and what did you achieve today? >> i think we heard from the secretary what his strategy is. we have a crisis in my home state and backyard. over 50,000 children crossed into the united states and i talked to the border patrol in the rio grande sector, over 250 children were apprehelpeded every day. and there is a flawed policy and failure to get border secretary policy underway and the reason why it is happening. >> what can we do about it, congressman? >> viewers are solution oriented

and what they want from the congress right now. and regardless of who is to blame for it, what can you do to change or improve the situation on the border today. we need deterients. and we don't send a message, they will keep coming in the united states right now cartels are working to get them through mexico and a dangerous journey into texas because they are told you get in the united states, you can stay. that is a message and a wrong message and only way, jenna, we can stop that is mandatory detention and renewal. the mess amg will get back to central america that you will not stay and you will have to go back. we have to secure our border and the mexican southern border to stop the central americans from coming out. >> congressman rogers asked the

question. and asked why we can't put the children back on the bus and instead of coping them in our care and custody. and this is what jay johnson had to say to that? >> we are creating additional detention space for adults that bring their children and i want to consider every option of stemming thisatoid. the law that was created in 2008 requires that we turn these kids over to the department of health and human services. >> the law requires that, congressman and your solution will change the dynamic and would you have to change the immigration law. what would you have when that is not the process. >> and if you are 14 and older, you can be mand torly detained.

13 and younger the law has to provide them to be turned over to hss as a ward of the state. and that is to iraq and afghanistan and exploited by central america. an makers need to look at that law to change that policy. and why these kids are over 14, they are coming across and we need help in the detention space to detain them and remove them. to do otherwise will encourage massive migration in this to this country. >> and there is talk about wide sweeping immigration reform. and i wonder what you think about that. if the crisis is so immediate in your own states. getting back the question of what you can do immediately. we talk about policy and changing law, that can take a lot of time. what do you so to have a solution proposed so that you

don't have humanitarian crisis happening on our southern borders. and these are the children sent through mexico with the drug cartels and one way to it stop that, we can send the national guard down to provide a support role so the border patrol can do their job. and secondly, we can't mand torly contain and remove those and do that immediately. and third, more assets particularly in the rio grande sector to get it secower and deal with the governor of mexico. and we'll secure the small southern border to upon stop the central americans from coming up in a dangerous journey through mexico to the united states. >> we'll play the interview later on this week. it was interesting to hear it from their perspective. and we'll take it back on the

program and follow-up with you and those proposed ideas come to fruition or not. it is great to have you, thanks, jenna. >> and you heard from the chairman of the home land committee. what do you think of the national guard? we heard from border patrol saying they are under staffed and don't have hours or funding. what do you think of that fox news/happening now and click on the americans asking to be part of the conversation. jon? >> we are less than a hour away from house and senate law makers sitting down and hashing out the reform on veterans bills and making it easier for veterans seeking care in private hospitals. a top investigator identifying a troubling pattern of deficient care of va hospitals and down

played by the agency even when pointed out by whistle blowers. >> there is an unflattering picture. cancelled appointments and no follow-up and leaving veterans exposed to deadly diseases and more. tom coburn released a scatting report. over the past decade a thousand veterans may have died because of va ma lfesance. and the va paid out thousands for medical malpractice. it is reflective of a larger culture within the va where admen straighters manipulate data and employees to give an appearance that all is well. the departmental review is launched and due to be completed in 14 days. in the meantime va officials are

taking heat on capitol hill. numerous law makers expressed concern and saying that the admip straighters get the gravity of the situation. here is the colorado republican. >> i am stunned that you would call this with all of the information that has come out, i don't think we are at the bottom of all of this yet, that you would call this a good system? i think it is absolutely stunning, and i just, i just think that the veterans administration is the most mismanage approximated agency of the federal government. >> both the house and senate in response to the va croisis. they will hammer out details to get to a single measure ready for a vote. >> i hope they can do something to fix this. >> shannon, thank you. >> coming up later this hour. speaking to a reporter that is breaking details on the va

scandal. >> he has just interviewed a whistle blower and telling us what he has seen firsthand. >> it is quite a story. sudannes woman finally free after being sentenced to death because of her christian faith. now there is new developments and a strange twist to the story. and republicans and democrats coping a watchful eye on the races in the south. why it could be good news for the democrats. jon has that interview coming up.

>> more drama of the sud annes woman was who released from prison after her sentence was thrown out bite court. now we a learning her and she and her husband were detained in an airport trying to leave the country. her case drew international outrage. it is unclear if she is back in custody and whether or not she will remain there. we'll keep you posted on her plight. >> a critical primary in mississippi could have long- term affect for republicans. tha d mccochran is facing a tea

party republican mcdaniel. and democrats see themselves an opportunity to win if mcdaniel is the gop nominee. for more on this is tom cusack. prospects of. that mcdaniel is ahead in most polls, right? >> mcdaniel has the edge and he is the favorite which is stunning. rarely do incumbent senators get defeated. mcdaniel has the momentum here. it is a tea party versus establishment race. in ken kep mitch mcconnell won and now the tea party is making a come back. eric cantor lost and tea party is emboldened and think that mcdaniel is going to pull it

out. >> and in the advertising tha d mccochran is saying i have brought home the bacon. that is not the norm for a candidate. >> that used to be a winning argument whether your clout to bring it back to the state. and that is not popular now. and certainly among the republican base. and so this is a tough argument for him now. he is trying to get democrats out. it is difficult to predict how many people are going to be turning out. this is up in the air. but a lot of independent handicappers that thought he needed to win but mcdaniel edged him out. and now if mcdaniel wins can

democrats steal the seat? >> what is the chance for that. republicans have spent weeks slinging mud at each other and they are damaged candidates at this point. and are they damaged enough that mississippi will turn blue? >> it is an uphill climb. democrats are rotting for mcdaniel to win. they think they can take him out. more than mccochran. this is a state that mitt romney won by double-digits and travis childers, he voted against obama care and climate change, but the republicans, who ever wins today would be the favorite in that race. >> in the same time if mitch mcdaniel wins. senators have contributed to the

critic ochran campaign. what will he get the cold shoulder from fellow republicans, what will happen? >> i think the republicans are facing with a major decision. will they get beend mcdaniel and trent lott, indicated he would back the nominee no matter who it is. that could mean the difference in controlling the senate. i think washington republicans will get behind mcdaniel. >> and they need six seats and they have not talked generally about mississippi. they thought it that was a foregone conclusion. >> bob, thank you. >> and the cost of the edcaution goes up every year. many grads are left with thousands and thousands of dollars in debt. and coming up. new research that shoes that the

college degree still worth the money? >> and coming forward in a va hospital in arizona. recently tried to conceal the detects o deaths of veterans. [ laughter ]

smoke? nah, i'm good. [ male announcer ] celebrate every win with nicoderm cq, the unique patch with time release smartcontrol technology that helps prevent the urge to smoke all day long. help prevent your cravings with nicoderm cq.

>> a new study finds that folks with bachelors and associates degrees earn more money over their lifetimes even factoring what college costs them. that research comes from the federal reserve bank in new york. and a third of all college graduates remain underemployed most of their careers. >> and roughly an hour away.

law makers from both pears and chambers are sitting down together and agree on one simple bill what most agree is a broken health care system. they have passed separate bills to make it easy to practice health care in hospitals and bombshell new allegations and a new whistle blower coming forward and keeper of the so- called secret list and accusing others in facility of recently trying to hide the deaths of veterans waiting for care. and joining me is many who had the scandal. >> and they are an investigative reporter. dennis great to have you on the program. and can you take up where you left off. what is the latest allegations that our viewer ares need to know about. >> she was a scheduling employee in the va hospital and va medical center in phoenix.

and she said two key things. she was instructed to take veter veteran appointment test. and we are going to meet the goals and take the pages and stuff in her drawer and leave them in there until we can make it go. she had a this happened or so in well and today, she said she objected to this practice and tried to fight it. but she feels guilty today that she was part of the problem. she worked with existing patients. and trying to get them in. and in some cases would get an appointment time and call them

and tell them i have a set for you. she would call and get a family member who would say you're too late. the veteran is dead. and she checks the computers and where she inserted the computer where the patient was deceased and someone erased that and entrow by mistake and no longer needs an appointment. it takes your breath away. and what you are reporting that pauline is a veteran herself and that is her background? >> she was a army combat medic. >> when her work was erased and went back in she is suggesting a cover up.

how far up does this go? >> she doesn't know who was responsible for that. i only know what she's telling me and i don't think she's had access to computer media date. and i don't know if they can prove it was done with malice. >> you are looking and you covered it since the beginning, you filed freedom of information acts and looking for more information from veterans affair and the government. hearing her story, one wonders if there is a problem with technology. she was band-aiding a big problem? what do you so in the heart of the issue? why did this happen? when you step away from the work at the end of the day, what is the issue that kept perpetuating the problem?

>> i think you had too many patients and not enough staffers to handle them. and the agency that was telling its employees from the top down all the way from dc saying we need to cut the wait times. there is a severe problem here and they couldn't do it in a realistic way. so allegations of sticking them in a drawer and not count them. they had a carrot and stick. your career would go no where if you didn't follow the rules. >> and does it seem like anything is getting better? law makers are trying to fiend out a solution. does it seem like patients are getting better quicker and

treatment and access to care? >> i am getting mixed information. i have veterans calling and e-mailing me and i have mixed information on that. i think you have a huge bureaucracy and you have a political system, and you have technology and all of these different things to address and it is not like a single tale given to the va and cured. they have to address a bureaucracy and leadership and a culture that evolve would in that agency over a decade. i don't think there is an easy solution but will require a lot of work and monitoring. >> i hope people who need the care will get. it one can only hope. it is great to talk to you today. and i appreciate your work very much, thank you. >> and a controversial plea deal is gaining national attention.

>> a vaurt of seven choosing to get a vasectome to spend less time in jail. some are comparing it as forced sterilization done by the nazis. starts with back pain... ...and a choice. take 4 advil in a day which is 2 aleve... ...for all day relief.

john? >> a child endangerment case in virginia is getting a lot of attention. jesse herald is agreeing to get's vasectome in order to reduce prison term. the some are comparing this forced sterilization if you will to what was done to thousands of people in virginia and dozens of other states over the last century. a lot of states abandoned the practice after being referred as germany purity efforts. a lysse wheel and analyst and former prosecutor. this guy was offered a deal. he's undertaking this voluntarily because the judge said you know, you get more jail

time if you don't agree. >> five years more jail time. >> i would argue that is not valleyitarily to say if you don't take the deal you will be there five more years. >> everything has a price. >> five more years of jail if you don't go through the vasectome and even if he's on probation he can't get it reversed. >> the guy is 27 years old and fathered seven children by six different mothers. >> i can so the argument where people get up and arms and this is forced sterilization. but he agreed to it. and it is hard to get around. that >> five years in prison. and by the way the supreme court, already ruled against punitivesterlization. >> no, it isn't. vasectoms and i am not a science professor are reversible.

he can reverse when probation is over. >> and who knows if it will work. to put on that kind of punishment. that is to say you shouldn't have more kids and go into a dead beat dad program. but to force that, i don't understand it. >> but the judge said look, you have to be able to pay for the kids you have. and you have fathered seven of them. doesn't society have an interest in making sure he can support the kids? >> we have had a case like this in wisconsin. and the u.s. supreme court didn't review it. and unless you can step forward and show you have the financial wherewith all. i will prohibit you from having a child. >> and not to be a broken record. it is still reversible. >> and the opinion is

reversible. and that is a good one. and if you don't do this. you will have five more years of hard time. you think that is voluntarily stuff. ? no. if he doesn't take care of the kids. garnish the wages and not that vasectome. >> and i am not surprised by the friends of a lawyer. i am still processing. that >> it is right here. and i also had four kids and that is enough for me and i can't imagine having seven kids like this. and at the age of 27. and when you have someone with seven children and woman incidentally. >> and the point is, it is something that needs to it be done. i understand what people are up in arms. >> what will you do?

go to the prison population and say there is a couple of dummies and get sterilizsterilized. >> and guy took. it she's got to get her tubes tied. and john, i am with you. 2- 1. rightly so. >> and thank its very much. >> and jon, a head lean with a twist. a family were told to leave a fast-food restaurant because of the daughter's facial scars. and now the story may have been a scheme to get money and we'll explain that. and going under water to get inside the military toughest training programs.

>> a man with a medical break through. look at this man in the video. he was paralyzed in a swimming

accident and lost all feeling from his elbow down. thanks to a microchip he can move his hand for the first time in years and becoming the first patient to do so. and there is an engineer that interpret brain signals. and doctor, a li resid, is a nuro surgeon who performed the brain surgery. we'll try to work through this. thank you for taking time to join us. we were blown away by the video and seeing it take place for the first time for this young man. can you explain how it works? >> okay, we have a tiny chip in the motor area of the brain and picking up signals and we call it decoding and interpreting

what ian is thinking about and going around the spinal cord injure and translating it language that the muscles can understand. he can achieve it. >> and how quickly does it happen? from the point that ian is thinking about it the movement how quickly does it take place? >> we developed our medical for a number of years. and have it down to a stepth 10 a second. >> wow. >> ian is making incredible progress and we are hoping to reach that kind of goal. >> doctor, i know that surgery is an important part of the process as chad mentioned. what did you have to do to make it possible?

>> yes, what we did implanted a micro sensor in the part of the brain that is responsible for movement. and it was in an it into the ar controlling his arms. it is connected to a computer that allows ian to use his mind and wearable sleeve allows him to move his own hands and muscles for the first time after four years he's able to move his hands and flex or extend his fingers and to have function he lost for the past four years. >> it's so incredible. how challenging of a surgery is that to make sure that you get the chip in just the right place? >> well, it requires a lot of imaging and physiology and mapping the brain to find the right spots. you have to find the exact spot to implant into an area of his arm. >> we were talking about his story. he does have a spinal cord injury is my understanding.

he's paralyzed. for people with not as extensive of an injury that have lost use of their hand, where do you see this technology going? who do you see benefiting the most from it? >> right. so one of the things we've been looking at is stroke and stroke rehabilitati rehabilitation. as you probably know, there are million of folks affected by stroke in the u.s. alone and our thoughts and collaboration is to actually adapt this technology to help folks speed up that recovery and regain some of the control that they've lost and some of the weakness on one side of the body that's affected by stroke. >> doctor, as far as what the brain has to do, we're talking a lot about technology. it's amazing to see on the screen. we continue to run this video that you've supplied us with. it's amazing. does the person that is using the technology, so ian, what sort of mental exercise does he need to do. i would imagine it's after several years of not being able to move your hands that it would

take a little practice to send the right signals. does that just automatically come back or is it something that the person has to almost train for? >> there's a lot of training involved. what we're doing is recording signals from the brain and decoding them and recoding them into the device. in this case as a wearable sleeve that's moving his hand and basically ian visualizes movements and that allows his brain to send a signal that is coupling to the sleeve or for that matter any other wearable device and there's a lot of learning going on with the device and ian brain. it's a continuous learning process. machine learning going on with ian constant levolving his brai signals. >> we have to give ian a lot of credit. he's been working with you guys very closely. >> he's done an incredible job. his level of focus is amazing. we're learning a lot from ian and at the same time we're learning from his data and from

his brain activity and like the doctor said, we have to actually adapt in realtime so our software and methods that analyze data have to adapt and get better and better. at the same time ian is getting better and better. usually after five or ten minutes, his performance is just unbelievable. >> constantly improving over time. >> take us out whether a couple months or a couple years. where do you want to see the technology go? how would it change the use of prosthetics in the future? where do you see this becoming available to consumers and something that they're able to use that could really change their life? >> we're looking at adapting this technology for as we mentioned stroke rehabilitation which is sooner than some of the other applications. some of the other applications like brain injury as we've talked about in our

collaborations is that a little further out but something where we believe we can adapt this technology toward in the future. >> right now technology is with the wire and it will involve to wireless implant and then toi external implant to make significant impact for those suffering from traumatic brain injuries, stroke, spinal cord injury and any deficits with the brain not able to send a signal so we harness the power of the brain to move muscles and other functions to improve these individuals' lives. >> i think about traumatic brain injuries and those suffered in the wars in iraq and afghanistan specifically when you talk about it. is it okay for me to tell you good job. it's pretty awesome. you're smart and really accomplished but i hope you don't mind a thumbs up from us because we're amazed by the technology. hopefully we stay close with you and hear about your progress in the next several months and years to come. thank you for your time today. >> thank you. >> great story. basketball star lebron james is about to become a free agent.

james informing the miami heat he's opting out of the final two years of his contract with the team according to his agent who spoke to ap. james could stay with the heat but will be allowed to signed with another team as of july 1st, next week. for heat fans, it could bring back memories of his infamous decision to leave cleveland for the heat in 2010 after they lost their bid for a third nba championship to the san antonio spurs. third consecutive. the miami heat president pat riley saying the move does not come as a surprise but the team looks forward to "sitting down with lebron and his representatives and talking about our future together." >> interesting how the story is back to back. >> he makes a lot of money to stuff a basketball in a hoop. >> we spoke with congressman mike mccaul about the
