don't forget, the all-star game tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m. there live. you guys going to watch? bill: worried about our jobs there, martha. martha: me too. bill: fox news alert. another black eye for the va if you believe this. all delays and cover-ups in veterans getting health care, a stunning new report, many benefits are not getting benefits they owed earned while serving their country. good morning. moreout rage on this. welcome to a monday version of "america's newsroom." martha: your pitching arm good? we'll have a recap. you will see bill pitch over the weekend. good morning, everybody, i'm martha maccallum. back to the veteran's story. struggling to keep up with disability benefits owed to our returning vets. this revelation comes from the inspector general's office. comes from a congressional

hearing where you hear quite a bit about this big story tonight. bill: peter doocy live d.c. good morning to you. what else did the inspector general discover in this report? >> reporter: six veterans writing to va asking for help and thousand of their letters sat there. in indianapolis, the inspector general found 3200 unprocessed mail. the delay processing 11 to 146 work days. in philadelphia, staffers were cherry-picking only processing easy claims. they destroyed mail that couldn't be delivered. systemwide, poor follow-up procedures cost the government big bucks. perfect example. 88% of vets with temporary 100% disability ratings didn't have their cases reviewed to make sure there is medical evidence to support that 100% disability claim. but they got paid anyway. that led to $85 million in improper benefits paid since january of 2012.

a lot of new details about issues at these facilities came during visits to regional offices last month. bill? bill: so, peter, what is the va doing now to fix these problems? >> reporter: bill the va wants to be 98% of accurate with all disability ratings claims within 125 days, by next year. they say they're on their way. a spokesman for the va emailed this morning to say, quote, the veterans benefits administration vba made significant progress to transform way it does business to eliminate the backlog of disability claims in 2015. at the same time we certainly have more work to do to achieve our goal. but their inspector general isn't so sure that the va is taking the right steps right now. they say, quote, although vba reports that the pending compensation backlog has decreased we continue to identify a high rate of errors in veterans affairs regional offices processing of these claims decisions. tonight on capitol hill, more

whistle-blowers will testify about what they have seen and heard at va offices across the country. bill: just keeps going deeper and deeper. peter doocy, thank you, leading our coverage on that this morning. martha. martha: meanwhile the pentagon issued pink slips to thousands of soldiers. in all some 2600 officers are losing their jobs. you may have seen one of their wives just a few minutes ago and we are told that number is going to go higher most likely. the last including more than 1000 active duty troops serving overseas right now. the defense department chalks this up to mandatory budget cutbacks and larger plan to scale back the size of our military. we are getting exclusive first-hand looks at one of the facilities that is housing illegal immigrants that are pouring across our southern border. now these are exclusive fox pictures, cameras as you know have been blocked from these facilities. you can see faces are blurred in these. these were taken inside the border patrol detention facility

in mcallen, texas, on border with mexico. many unaccompanied children with their moms, streaming across the border, believing once they make it across to the united states believing they will stay. john roberts got the exclusive footage. he toured that facility. he is live in very warm mack allen, texas. first the situation there and what you saw inside the facilities? >> reporter: the headline from the rio grande valley, martha, the number of apprehensions are down, 6 to 700 a day, down from 11, 1200. let's look inside the facility we got exclusive access to. we saw families, unaccompanied children, and men there as well. 80 men were crammed in one 120 by 120 area and the place was beehive and as they were trying to process the illegal

immigrants to get them out to detention facilities elsewhere. there were 460 people, down from a peak of 1500. the border patrol has the decline to seasonal drop-off, in the month ever july. message may be getting out to central america not to come to the united states. it is still a huge problem though. we toured the border over the weekend with texas republican congressman louie gohmert. gohmert is highly critical of the president's request for $3.2 billion to address the situation here. gohmert said the first thing the president needs to do that the border is closed to illegal migration and anyone who crosses it will immediately be sent back. >> until we do that, they're going to keep flooding in here. as soon as we send them back, and they realize, wow, we spent $5,000 and we've got nothing, we've got nothing in return, that flood stops.

>> reporter: that $5,000 is money most of these people pay to coyotes to move them up from guatemala, honduras, el salavador and mexico to the u.s. border. his fellow congressman, steve stockman says if the president is looking for a good photo-op, him standing in front of a airplane with people being sent back to central america. martha: unbelievable you said 80 men crammed into a 20 by 20 space. what does the border patrol say about this whole situation, john? >> reporter: those numbers are better than they used to be. the border patrol chief of the region tell me believes they're beginning to get a hand dill on this crisis. they're processing the illegal migrants more quickly than they were able to in the past. there are more places to send them than the detention facility of border patrol. they say they're getting just about everything they need from the department of homeland security to address the situation here on the border.

bigger picture the border patrol union told me this will be burden american taxpayers, interdicting the migrants, providing medical care, social services, potentially education for those who eventually stay here in the united states. not to mention the american jobs that many of them will end up taking if they stay. >> i don't think the american taxpayer can quite grasp of what is going on down here and how much of their tax dollars are being wasted. >> reporter: you know the border patrol also told me they're beginning to see a lost gang members coming across the border. they're doing best to screen them and deal with them before releasing them to other places in the united states. of course they remind us that this is all huge business for the drug cartels which control much of that side of the rio grande river, martha. martha: the drug cartels and ms-13 and influence we don't need coming any closer and over those borders, john. incredible pictures and images. we'll see you later today with

more. thanks, john. >> reporter: thanks, martha. bill: we'll talk to mr. cabrera a bit later in our show. we'll talk live with oklahoma congressman jim bridenstein. he was finally allowed to go into the facility in his home state. we'll ask what he saw and priority to solve the issue. he has a number of things on his list. we have been in touch with him and his office for a couple weeks. don't miss that. martha: you can feel the action loosening up. very hard for cameras and press to get in there. everyone understands there are children but there are ways to cover the story. that's what we're doing now. bill: another headline from overnight, sergeant bowe bergdahl reporting for duty? according to the pentagon bergdahl was released after five years of captivity could return to the active duty roster as a u.s. soldier as early as today? sergeant bergdahl was awash in controversy after he disappeared from post. some call him a hostage. others a deserter. his psychological therapy is

over and going back to works. steve hayes, fox news contributor, "weekly standard." good morning, steve. did you expect this move? >> i didn't expect this quickly. i thought eventually they could get there because it is part of normal army protocol to put him through this reintegration process but it seems pretty early, particularly given the fact they haven't completed the investigation about the circumstances of his departure. bill: so they have not concluded that investigation? so that is going to continue one assumes as he is reinserted into the army life? >> right. he has been interviewed several times about his, the circumstances of his depart you are, about his time in captivity. he will be meeting with this kenneth dahl heading the investigation in coming days but they haven't reached any conclusion about whether he was or was not a deserter. you remember that the early army investigation, a previous army investigation found that he had left his squad of his own volition and walked away of his

own will. the question is whether he was a deserter and to be a deserter there is textbook definition. you have to have had intent both to leave and never to return. and i think that is one of the things that the army is dealing with right now. bill: have you heard whether or not he left with his family because i have not? have they been to texas? have they had a conversation on the phone? >> i haven't heard whether he has met with them or whether they have spoken but presumably if they had met we would have probably heard about it by now. bill: yeah. the reintegration process continues there but as you rightly point out, there are still a a lost critics who are suspicious about his disappearance, steve. >> i think there need to be answers. i think one of the things you will hear in coming days is questions from his squad mates who want to know what you finding in this investigation? these are, young men and women in some case who is believe that they risked their lives searching for this guy who walked away, again, according to the army investigation, on his

own, by his own choice and they want to know why did he do this? what were the circumstances of his captivity? was he held against his will the entire time he was in captivity? there are lots of questions, very few answers at this point. bill: he is still in texas. he will live in barracks and have two other soldiers help him readjust. steve hayes, thank you for that pro washington. >> thanks, bill. bill: 11 minutes past. martha: after being criticized by journalism groups for quote, censoring the news, the white house says the president obama is the most transparent president ever. what will the panel say coming up? bill: interesting debate. two years after the deadly shipwreck off the coast of italy, the costa concordia floats yet again. this massive undertaking comes at a hefty price tag. we'll show that to you. martha: hamas going high-tech. the new weapon the terror group is using against israel and why the israelis say they will do whatever it takes to defend

themselves. >> our mission is to restore a sustainable quiet, sustainable security to our people by seriously degrading hamas and other terrorist groups capabilities in gaza. i think we're proceeding and continue until that goal is achieved. movie night. i get 2x the points on streaming movies and takeout from restaurants with my citi thankyou card. everyone wins. you mean you win. yes i do. the citi thankyou preferred card earn two times the thankyou points with no annual fee. to apply, go to citi.com/thankyoucards.

martha: more than two years after 32 people died when a crews liner shipwrecked on the italian coast a massive salvage operation going on right now. the costa concordia is being refloated so that 10 tugboats can drag it to demolition. that ocean liner weighs more than 100,000 tons and this removal operation has already cost nearly a billion dollars. who could forget the images of that overturned ship after it slammed into a reef back in january of 2012. the ship's captain is facing manslaughter charges. bill: israeli military now confirming it shot done a drone launched from gaza marking first

time it faced such a weapon in the current conflict with the terror group hamas. israel especially is concerned because drones can evade israel's sophisticated iron dome system and inflict casualties. rockets from gaza keep coming, 24/7, targeting the israeli homeland. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he will use any means necessary to stop the attacks. backing up that threat, israeli tanks and troops massing along the gaza order ready to invade if the order is given. kt mcfarland, national security analyst. good morning to you. prime minister netanyahu yesterday on this. >> this is the difference between us. we're using missile defense to protect our civilians and their using civilians to protect their missiles. that is basically the difference. they're embedding rockets they're firing wholesale into our cities, terrorist rockets, trying to kill as many as they can. bill: react to that and also

this report of the drones. >> when i've been to israel and units where the pilots are, is rally pilots in an attack would have to bomb areas where the hamas missiles are, they have said that every time they go they get intelligence on the ground, they know if it is apartment building for example where they are. they drop flyers into the apartment building into that neighborhood. get out, we're going to destroy that building. they give the kind of warning to the civilians to get out. hamas isn't doing that when they're firing rockets into israel. they're trying to hit, although not very successfully, trying to hit civilian areas. bill: a little more on that point. john mccain from sunday talking about that very thing also. >> israel is being attacked by hundreds of rockets. their people, a third of their 307lation has got about 60-second warning. picture the united states of america with a country contiguous to ours that we're being subjected to rocket attacks so that the restraint of the israelis in my view is, is

admirable. bill: he went on to say because there haven't been more israeli casualties, hamas has not tried? >> they're good at it. the cycle where palestinians provoke, israel respond. palestinians lob rockets into israel. israel destroys the rocket sites. everybody breath. happens a few years later when the palestinians decide to provoke it. palestinians get resupplied. who are they resupplied from? iran? iran has a much bigger footprint than in anybody -- bill: they're getting supplies from syria. we're finding syrian rockets that travel much further than they have before out of gaza. you tweeted this morning is this diversion from the failed iran nuclear tax? what do you mean by that? >> why did the palestinians proprotect this crisis now? why not six months ago. they provoke it, taking three teenagers and killing them.

what is the timing? almost the same time the israeli-palestinian crisis wrote out, the supreme leader iran said by the way we're not dismantling our nuclear encentrifuges, we need 10 times more than we have. at the same time negotiations are in vienna over iran's nuclear program. this is iran telling hamas clients, cause a little problem over there so nobody notices what is really going on which is iran's nuclear weapons. bill: that is going on. secretary kerry who is negotiating this iran deal. >> yes. bill: that apparently is a bit tenuous at the moment. perhaps to say the least that might be an understatement. and there are those in the middle east who are suggesting that secretary kerry should stay away from the current conflict. wasn't that part of the re-engagement a year ago the administration wanted to manage? >> that was something a year ago secretary kerry said his big objective coming secretary of state was to solve the

palestinian israeli crisis once and for you will. the biggest crisis in the middle east, the biggest threat to the region is if iran gets nuclear weapons. iran has shown the world it is not going to dismantle its nuclear centrifuges but sanctions have been lifted. economic pressure on part of the west and united states businesses to lift those sanctions further will be overwhelming. at the end of the day, i don't think iran needs a permanent deal. they got what they wanted in the first step, u.s. would lift sanctions a little bit and rest of it the market forces will take care of. bill: a lot to follow but we will do our best with your help and your great experience. >> thank you very much. bill: thank you, kt. martha. martha: well it is a u.s. giant that is picking up stakes and moving its jobs overseas. why? we're going to talk about that with stuart varney. bill: a detention facility housing many illegals in texas but they're also being taken to spots all over the country. we'll talk with a oklahoma congressman who tour ad

facility. he has been waiting 10 days for the tour. he finally got in. he will be our guest live this morning. >> when a member of congress, when a representative of the people wants to show up at these facilities we shouldn't be rejected or turned away seemingly for political purposes. this should be transparent. it should bea open. in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam

have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. but parallel parking isn't one you do a lof them.ings great. you're either too far from the curb. or too close to other cars... it's just a matter of time until you rip some guy's bumper off. so, here are your choices:

bill: some of the joy apparently missing from the happiest place on earth. a power outage shutting down a monorail at disney world near orlando, trapping 120 people inside. firefighters helping everybody off safely. cause of outage is not known. powerful storms and a lot of lightning were rolling through the area at the time. martha: big story here. u.s. pharmaceutical giant reportedly planning to move their operations overseas. the maker of the popular arthritis drug hue mara,

announces they have a offer to buy a dublin-based company for more than $53 billion according to "wall street journal" this deal will allow the company to go to ireland to avoid higher tax rates here in the united states. this is a trend. bring in stuart varney, host of "varney & company" on the fox business network. stuart, we have the second highest corporate tax rates in the world, right? >> highest corporate tax rate of does realized democracy, 35%. nobody should be higher than that. martha: this company is former abbott labs and other companies are moving to ireland? >> this is running away from very high corporate taxes at federal level and running away from very high corporate taxes in illinois. this company is based in north chicago, illinois. it has to pay 35% to the fed and i don't know how much, but very high tax to the people in illinois as well. so they jumped ship. away they go. they're going to ireland oar plan to go to ireland where the tax rate is much smaller. they would be, if this goes through, by my count the 4th

american company to -- 48th american company to jump ship go overseas, primarily for tax reasons. martha: there is this notion that corporations are the big bad guy the way the parlance of the federal government over at least the last several years and we need to basically milk them for everything we can because they're not good about corporate governance or not good at. they're chasing these companies out of america. they're biting off their nose to spite their face. >> that is very accurate. 47 companies gone so far. here is another that proposed to go. the administration will not lower that high tax rate. it won't cut it from 35% down anywhere lower. it won't do that. its solution to say, we'll make it more difficult for american companies to leave. well, fence them in. we'll keep them in. that is not the way to go about it because they keep on leaving constantly leaving. martha: and otherwise i would imagine, because companies as you and i are talking about, it is their responsibility to their

shareholders to make as much money as they can to return a positive return to their shareholders. that's what they do, right. >> that is the responsibility of the people running a publicly-traded american corporation. martha: right. >> maximize the amount of money flowing to the owners of the company. that is the shareholders. martha: that is what is expected. >> you don't go for 35% tax rate, you go for 12 1/2. martha: you would be dumb. >> i was in ireland last week, and i walked past a row of american companies in dublin purely for tax purposes. >> there is a way to change that situation. lower. create incentives like texas to bring american companies into that state because they don't want to pay taxes elsewhere. there is way to get around this. >> have a word with the white house, martha. you have clout. martha: we'll work on that. stuart, thank you very much. bill: a big win for germany turning to riots in argentina. [speaking spanish] bill: they needed tear gas, rubber bullets to break up angry crowds after the world cup

final. details on the mayhem. martha: white house press secretary doubling down saying not only is the white house an open book, he says it is the most transparents presidency ever. we'll have a panel discussion coming up on that. >> let me say it as simply as i can. transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstone of this president.

bill: about half past the hour now on monday morning. some of our top stories, secretary of state john kerry planning to meet with iran's top diplomat as a deadline approach force deal on iran's nuclear program. kerry and other european leaders have so far failed to get a deal to stop tehran from enriching uranium. citibank agreeing to pay the justice department $7 billion to settle a government probe ovariesky mortgages sold during the financial crisis. eric holder saying despite the deal citigroup could still face criminal charges. the survivor of a helicopter crash in the state of washington saying thoughts of her children

helped her stay alive. that chopper plunged into the water northwest of seattle early saturday. both she and a passenger did survive with no serious injuries. martha: so the white house doubling down on the line that it is the most transparent administration in u.s. history. and this comes just days after multiple journalism organizations, 38, sent a letter to the white house complaining about the lack of access to information. press secretary josh ernest said this over the weekend. >> i am definitely committed and i have responsibility in this job, to try to help the president live up to his commitment to be the most transparent president in history. if you look at some steps we've already taken -- >> i'm surprised you still toe that line, most transparent president in history. >> absolutely. >> he is criticized so much saying that prosecution of whistle-blowers and other steps. you still stick by that line. >> absolutely. absolutely. martha: absolutely.

absolutely. katie pavlich joins me, news editor for townhall.com and fox news contributor. jessica ehrlich and former congressional candidate and attorney. he is incredulous, jessica, because of long list of typically not conservative newspapers like "the new york times" and "washington post" that have called this white house out dramatically on several occasions for being very untransparent and for blocking their access to very important stories. >> no, absolutely. you know, it is certainly not just as a democrat but as a citizen you want to have the ability and freed dome and access of the press to be able to do the stories they need to do to have coverage and bring news information. pointer institute was one of the institutions in my hometown, i trained there as a student growing up. the work they do is tremendous. everyone is on vossly very frustrated as josh earnest said

in the next two years we'll see a little more transparency coming out. i know they have been putting a lot of social events and things on the calendar and hopefully we'll have a little more from agencies going forward. martha: social events and calendar something you might dig into the during the course of investigation if you try to figure who visited and why. >> right. martha: we know there have been difficult that kind of thing, talking about visits during health care formulation and irs, and all of that, access has been next to impossible. katie, i think almost laughable given the across the board criticism that josh earnest can say this is the most transparent presidency in history? >> the only transparent about the administration and press at this point, martha, therapy statements and those we can see right through, okay? you look at survey, that political magazine put out of white house correspondents and reporters and they say that they believe, 50% of these reporters

think the white house has lied to them. 41% of them say that obama white house is the most secretive white house they have worked with. "the new york times" has classified this administration as a control freak administration. and let's go beyond the issue of transparency here. this isn't just about transparency and not allowing press access to white house and very important stories that the american people deserve to look at, this white house openly attacked and waged a war on the press through monitoring of phone lines, monitoring of family members, related to reporters, who are simply doing their job to get people information that they deserve. so this goes beyond just even allowing reporters into the white house. this goes into the white house actually doing what they can to even classify reporters as criminals in order to avoid that transparency. so they have done the opposite of what josh earnest has said. barack obama is not transparent. this white house is not transparent. we're six years into this and i doubt two years we have left we'll very anymore transparency.

martha: i wonder, you look at the situation with the border coverage which has just begun to start to open up a little bit, reporters and even congressman were blocked from seeing what was going on inside of our own country, jessica, which i think is unprecedented situation but this is a president who promised, we showed a clip of it before we went to the break, that he would be the leader of the most transparent white house in history. he went in with such broad hopes and dreams to really be so much more accessible. what happened? >> you know, i think, what seeing also is, as a democrat this comes out, is this general frustration in the ability, certainly in the administration to communicate message and communicate what is going on to the american public and to the press. they're sort of, i don't know that is really so much antagonistic nature that is sort of come up as a result of this just seems like continuous

miscommunication. even when good things are happening they can't get the message out. it is frustrating for democrats. it is frustrating for midterm elections. it will be frustrating going forward next two years. martha: people understood what the president said when he said it he was going to be open. he would talk about, for instance the irs scannedtoday, right? he wouldn't want agencies to get away with actually hurting american citizens. he would be open about that kind of thing. benghazi, when something went wrong out there, he would be open, he would be transparent in their own investigation. in all of these cases he said very clearly he wanted to get to the bottom of it. that is simply the last you hear about it, katie? >> yeah. no, barack obama has done exactly the opposite what he promised this is just one more example of that. he promised most transparent. he has been completely the opposite. they have done everything not allowing photo journalists into the white house to classify reporters as criminals in these cases and asking the justice department to take a look at that.

that is a very serious thing. you asked the reporters who are covering this white house, they will tell you that they do not believe the administration has been open. barack obama campaigned against george w. bush saying that george bush was not transparent. he would be more transparent. you asked reporters working white house now they will tell you that the bush administration was much more open with information about what was going on and bottom line is this. barack obama has had a lot of problems in his administration with scandal after scandal after scandal. they haven't been opened because sunshine is the best way to get rid of corruption and the administration doesn't want reporters looking at those kinds of things. that might bring us some accountability. martha: yes a i wonder was the press too kind, overwhelmingly kind to the president in the beginning? did they sort of set themselves up by creating a environment where the white house felt they didn't have to worry about the press, they were on our side the press. the second the press started questioning them they smacked them back and closed the door?

>> i think people were hopeful and excited in the beginning there would be more transparency as the president said. certainly as katy mentioned it was something he campaigned on. we had gone through eight years a lot of us felt tremendous frustration there being lack of transparency everything going on in the administration and policy. unfortunately, once that sort of started happening again i think this sort of antagonistic relationship developed. my concern is, that in the letter they mentioned that all the newspapers and journalists sent to the president, they suggested having an ombudsman, sort of like another level of this bureaucracy of him encouraging the federal agency employees to be more open with the public. i just don't think that is a good policy for anyone. i never worked anywhere, go ahead, talk to the press if you're not in charge. i don't know that those are the answers and what concerns me is we're not going to really get to see the level of communication as to what is happening that the american people want. martha: i think a lot of people

hear your concern. jessica, katie, thank you very much. >> thanks. >> thank you. bill: germany making history at the world cup. a last-minute goal in overtime by germany's mario goetz. terrific goal for the young player. 1-0 over argentina. this first world cup as unified nation. last win was west germany 24 years ago. fourth world cup title overall. in argentina they were not taking the loss laying down, were they? riots in the capitol city. rocks thrown at police injuring eight officers. police firing back with tear gas and rioters vandalizing businesses. overall a great tournament, hosted by a country of brazil that were tested. olympics are coming up in two years. i think brazil did very well based on everything. martha: heart-breaker last game. did a great job with the

tournament. think pope benedict called pope francis to say i gotcha? bill: i haven't seen his tweet yet. >> good for him. this story now. an army post in america's heartland transformed into temporary housing for hundreds of illegal immigrant children. oklahoma congressman jim bridenstein has seen it first-hand. he was practically banging on the door to see what is going on in his own state. he will be here next to tell you what he saw. bill: could users be allergic to an electronic tablet? martha: probably. bill: is that possible? ♪

to see first-hand how the immigration crisis on the boredder is impacting his home state. jim bridenstein out of oklahoma touring fort sill over the weekend. you remember he was turned away from the fort which is housing 400 i will lease, most of them children. republican congressman jim bridenstein is with me back in washington. good morning to you. we've been in touch two weeks. what did you see? >> my concerns were validated. there are a lot of children there that have suffered on the trek to the united states of america. we're talking about cases where people were abused. one of the things that i thought was of interest is the fact that a lot of these children have either family members or friends in the united states that are here illegally. those folks are paying coyotes and transnational criminal organizations in mexico and other places to transport those children here. that is where the suffering is

occurring. when you pay criminal organizations to transport children, you're putting your children in harm's way. of course in many cases not just the children of illegal aliens in our country but it is also just friends and relatives of illegal aliens already in our country. bill: let's try to get to a few specifics about your visit though. you did not bring a camera, right? were you allowed to bring a camera? >> i did not bring a camera. we did not push the issue. here is what they told us. you can come on a visit. you can't ask questions. you can't talk to the staff. you can't talk to the contractors. you can't talk to the children. we told them very clearly we will treat their restrictions the way the president treats laws of this country. we will treat them as suggests. that's when we did, they were very accommodating as a matter of fact. we talked to the personnel that worked there. we talked to the medical staff. in fact we talked to some of the children and heard some of their stories. bill: and the stories are what, sir? >> the stories are horrific. there are a good number of those children who were abused on the

way to the united states by these transnational criminal organizations that have to be paid in order to get them across. look, we don't control the southern border of the united states the way the law requires right now but transnational criminal organizations in northern mexico, they control the southern border on the south side of the border. if you pay them enough money you get into our country. if you don't pay them enough money your children could be subject to forced labor, forced prostitution. sold into slave trade. many cases there are death. there are mass graves in northern mexico because somebody didn't pay the right criminal organization. the other thing that was concerning to me was how the children, once they're at these facilities, by the way, children who make it there, are the lucky ones. there are a lot who don't make it there. once they're there, how are they released? who are they released to? what i found out a lot of them are being released to folks in the united states of america who are not legal citizens of our country.

as such, it is very difficult to do a criminal background check, if not impossible when they are released. they get a date to come back for court. a lot of them don't come back for court. they just, go off into our country and they remain illegal residents and perpetuity. bill: you say getting answers on this issue is like pulling teeth. -- tooth. has that changed now or will we see this flow? >> we actually had a great opportunity to meet with the staff down there at fort sill. so we made an issue of it. we're now getting answers. i know your previous segment was about the secrecy of this administration. one thing to keep secrets. it is another thing to put outfalls information. we've seen willingness of this administration to do that. if you look at benghazi and them blaming benghazi attack on obscure video nobody had seen. that is the big concern here. we need to keep asking questions. it is our first amendment right. it is my obligation as member congress. he is asking us to spend

$3.7 billion. we have got to solve this problem. we don't want to just expand the current programs that are leading to the crisis. we want to solve the crisis. we need operational -- bill: operational control is only 44%. people in central america still believe once they get here they can stay here. in a word, will you go back to fort sill, yes or no? >> absolutely i will go back. this is too important of an issue. children are made to suffer. federal policy is causing this administration. we have to get it right. bill: jim bridenstein, thank you for coming back, sir. thank you for keeping contact with us and our program. >> thank you. bill: martha. martha: shooting outside of a nightclub and caught on camera. [gunfire] bullets flying into the crowd of a downtown district. we'll have the latest details what happened. bill: there is wild weather rolling across the country. heavy hail slamming the heartland. we'll tell you where this happened. that is some hail.

bill: severe hailstorm, even for oklahoma standards, pounding that state. watch. hard rain is going to fall. strong winds and rain also moving through. forecasters say the storms, that is back of a pup truck rolling down the highway. that is a selfie, huh? the storms pack a strong punch rolling through oklahoma. >> terrifying scene as shots rang out in a crowded downtown area. [gunfire]wow, witness capped tht dramatic video. a gunman opening fire outside of a nightclub in samford, connecticut. folks in the large crowd,

ducking for cover. laura engles in the newsroom. what happened? >> reporter: seems like a miracle no one was killed or came away with light threatening injuries after watching that video which shows people running their their lives. one person is under arrest but detectives is under arrest but detectives in stamford. someone standing near the shooter took a dark and blurry video on mobile phone. you can hear terrifying moments as gunman fires shots into the crowd as police run for cover. police posted the video on social media in hopes witnesses will provide more information. detectives say four men and one woman were hit. martha: what do we know about the shooter. >> reporter: 22-year-old,daron wills, slade gunfire out of tina's nightclub. wills was tracked down and taken into custody shortly after the incident and was charged with

five counts of first degree assault. he is held on one million dollars bond. wills admitted to the involvement of the shooting getting into a fight over a woman. told police he discarded his weapon nearby. cops found his loaded 40 caliber handgun which he has a valid permit he was legally registered to carry the weapon. wills es a mother gave interview. her son had the permit because he worked in security. his friends told her that he got jumped in the club. they found a small amount of pot. wills is expected to be arraigned today. if you have further information call the stamford detective bureau. martha: lucky he didn't hurt anybody in that situation. thank you, laura. >> thanks. bill: attorney general eric holder say critics of president are motivated because he is african-american. we'll have republican senator rob portman out of ohio.

fox news news alert. a mysterious smell is sending people packing in a suburbs. they found high numbers of the a gas that was also used during the nazis era. new investigators are blaming the organic compound found in sump pumps for the order. overseas now, hamas is launches unmanned drones as the fight

intensifie intensifies. this is brand new video showing the grown stri-- drone -- in thr there. good morning. i am martha maccallum. >> and i am bill hemmer. militants fired nearly a thousands rockets into israel and now hamas is taking it to a new level using drones. david lee miller is live in israel. what did he know about the drones, david lee? >> reporter: we just received word as i speak to you right now the sirens are now going off in the city of televeve. we have seen this repeatedly but

there have been no fatalities among the israelis. let's talk about the drone that hamas sent up. the question is: is this a game changer? it is too early to tell. but we know at 6:30 hamas sent up a drone that was shot down at 7:30. about 14 miles into israel. the design of this particular drone is an air bell 3 of iranian design. the video released was from hamas tv and we don't know if the actual drone you see in the video is the same zone that crossed into the israel air

space. it isn't clear if the drone that entered into the israel space was armed. it may have been just for surveillance purposes. in any event it was neutralized by a patriot missile. there have been hundreds of rockets fired into israel today alo alone at least 71. there is one injur y one city. an 8-year-old was minorly injured and where i am standing a house and car was damaged. >> thank you, david lee miller reporting live. israeli's prime minister spoke out this weaken: >> i want your viewers to

imagine the united states being hit not in just one or two city but every city between new york and colorado. 20% would be exempt and 80% of your citizens would have to be in bomb shelters or ready to go into one within a minute or two max. no country is okay with that. >> brit hume is here. he interviewed the prime minister. and it seemed like he was keeping his card close to the vest and leaving his cards open. >> you notice that when we described the mission it was

simply to restore a state of relative calm. it wasn't the elimination of hamas. he is not talking about destroying hamas. he is talking about suppressing this constant missile attacks that are coming from gaza. the strikes have been numerous but it masks that this is a limited operation with a limited goal. >> what do you think about this president's response to what is going on there after seeing other president's respond? >> the united states doesn't have much of a roll here. they put out the statements of comments and whatnot. but we are always trying to

broker a peace between israel and its neighbors. there has been successful like the peace deal with egypt and jordan signed under clinton have been successful. but the hardest problem is israel and the palestinians. and the palestinians have proved not to be a reliable partner. if you are trying to deal with the top party but then you have hamas in gaza and there is no indication hamas is prepared to work out a peace deal. i don't think there is a military role for the united states except to help israel with supplies. we are aligned with israel in the end but i don't think the united states is a factor in this. >> he brought up iran as well.

and there is a concern giving everything that is going on iran maybe moving along the track in terms of nuclear programs while the world is focused in other places. >> there is a lot of focus on this effort the united states made it some of its partners to make a deal with iran dealing with its nuclear program. the prime minister made it clear he is afraid a bad deal could come out which iran agrees to small steps and inspections and goes about its business of building a nuclear weapons arsenal. he said no deal is better than a bad deal. i think he has a point. the administration is dying to make a deal but what matters is

the detail and in terms of the tough deal that many of us want, i think it is unlikely to happen and the greatest likelihood is there is no deal. >> very interesting interview. brit, thank you very much. >> there is growing upation to the president's request of $4 billion to clean up the border. the republicans are addressing their own concerns that they thi think are the problem. jim is here live. we talk today brian who wanted to get into the home facility over the weekend and he said this is like pulling teeth to

get answers. brian stein now. >> we need to keep asking questions. it is our first amendment right. he is asking us to spend $3.7 billion. we have got to solve this problem. we don't want to expand the current programs leading to the crisis we want to solve the crisis >> that is one view. where are he new, ed henry? >> you have governor rick perry yesterday saying he is opposed to giving the president the $3.7. he had an open mind in recent days after meeting with the president in texas and they had a private meeting and all of that. perry says there is not enough border security in this $3.7 billion. the answer from josh earnest is pass immigration reform because

some of the bills would add 20,000 workers. but there is no way they will pass the immigration reform with the current crisis showing them we have to do something about border security first. >> senator mccain has an idea. what is his chance? >> he is talking about sending plane loads of kids back to central america because otherwise you will keep having more kids coming in. if you pass the $3.7 billion in two-three months there is going to be more children and we will be writing another check. the white house is cold to the idea of putting kids on plane. but in august, if they don't get the $3.7 million they are out of beds for the kids and then you have a bigger problem. >> as ed was saying the texas

governor rick perry wants to send in the troops. >> the issue is being able to send that message. it is the visual that i think it is the most important. >> why he says just seeing the national guard at the border would have an impact on the billions the president wants and we will talk to someone from the border patrol on that. >> north korea defying the west and flexing muscle. some thing this might be more than a saber fight. >> and -- >> there is a certain racial force for some.

vo: this is the summer. the summer of this. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to.

where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come. get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less. expedia. find yours. >> north korea stirring tensions with its neighbors and the united states firing dozens of

rockets and shells into the sea a day after a test fired two ballistic missiles. all of the saber rattling coming as an american aircraft carrier arrives for joint exercises with korea and ge japan. this is exclusive video of the detention center in mcallen, texas. the governor is saying we should bring in the national guard, put them at the border, not miles inside, of texas. >> it is the visual that i think it is most important. we know that. conversations are being

monitored with calls back to the central america and the answer is come up here, everything is great, and they are taking care of us. that needs to stop. >> we have the vice president of the national border patrol union joining us now. chris, welcome. >> thank you. >> what do you think of governor perry's idea? would a stronger national guard presence make it impossible to cross and would it deter the folks trying to come? >> i think it would be a big deterant as far as people coming in and it would free up agents to get out there and patrol. as long as they let the national guards men work and not put them behind desks and monitor whatever tasks we gave them in

the past. i think it will have a tremendous impact. >> what are your border patrol agents telling you? >> a lot of not happy with what is going on and the sheer number of people and it is tough to see the young kids coming in, alone, and scare -- they are very fragile and our agents don't like to see the kids in the conditions especially coming off the long journey they have been subjected to and the diseases some agents are contracting. we had one get sick and some getting scabies and lice. >> what do they think needs to be done to improve the situation first?

>> well, i think the number one thing is mandtory detention and removal which is a message we are sending you back and you cannot stay here and then the flood gates will stop. >> why do you think we are seeing such an influx at the moment? some people are saying the situation in guatemala, hondoras and el salvador is rough, but why do you think they can come here? >> they are exploiting a loophole in the system and they are doing it well. >> what do your patrol agents think of that?

>> they are frustrated with what is going on. we would like the president to come down and see what is going on with the people in the cells. it is heart breaking to see the things we are seeing on a daily bases. >> why do you think he didn't come? >> i have no earthly idea, ma'am. i don't know what he would think would be more important. i am sure he had something on his schedule but we would like to see him here. >> how do you feel about how the governor is monitoring the situation? >> i think he is doing a great job. he seems to get it and have a grasp on what is going on and has good ideas on fixing the issues. >> are you getting help you need in terms of the health situation? you talked about scabies and such being brought across the border is there a federal effort

helping with that? >> the border patrol is trying to play catch up and we're having a lot of diseases coming in and some we haven't seen in decades and we are worried they'll spread throughout the united states especially if they are being released and have the disease. >> you have a lot on your plate and you are trying handle it in the most humane way. but your message is clear: if we lockdown and send back viewer kids will be put in this situation on the journey and the peril situation once they get here. thank you for joining us. islamic militants taking over the government's military and why that is a threat to the united states security. jack keane is here on that. bad when this happens. quickly turned a relaxing day

this is when the party goes south. a driver crashing a pool party in suburban cleveland. she drove her car through a fence and into the pool and narrowly missing the people in the pool. >> i took a dive in the pool and when i hit the water i was like that was an awesome explosion. so i turn around and there was a jeep in the pool. everyone is saying go safe the women. she had a belt on and i pulled

her out of the vehicle and threw her on the deck. >> no body was injured. cleanup crews brought a crane in to remove the car. she was driving as impared. everybody is okay, though. >> apparently she was in there going king james is coming home! >> better ways to celebrate. an assessment of the crisis in iraq with the pentagon reporting that islamic militants have taken over the iraq government units and they government is dependent on the sunnis so much the united states is at risk.

jack keane is here. what is the most serious threat? >> isis is the most serious threat. it dwarfs what the old al-qaeda was. this is the new face of al-qaeda. and the isis movement in syria and iraq determined to destabalize the entire middle east is what the old al-qaeda thought about and that was to establish a caliphate. that is not in the united states interest. number two, this is a breeding ground for terrorist fighters coming from europe, the middle east and the united states who go there and train and conduct acts against the homeland. >> what do we do about it?

or what are we doing about it? >> we are not doing much of anything about it to be frank. i think our focus should be on isis and our second focus should be on the political complex situation in iraq which we know if it is changes will help the iraqi situation. but i believe now while time is of the essence because this is a growing movement with hundreds of fighters joining the movement we should get after them. we have targets in syria and iraq, station basis, equipment storage areas, commander control facilities and sancutaries. we will have to deal with this. >> we don't hear about airstrikes which suggests they are digging in and getting

stronger. >> and they are growing in numbers because everyone recognizes who was radicalized that was this movement was on the march and a successful movement. they are not hiding in the mountains of pakistan has al-qaeda leadership has been doing for ten plus years. this is something you want to be a part of if you are a radical islamist. and that is happening. the sooner we start dealing with this as a threat to the middle east the better this is for united states interest and security interest. >> jack keane with a keen eye on what is happening there. keep us updated on this. controversial comments on talk of the white house with eric holder saying he thinks some of the opposition to obama is because of his race. >> and the obama administration

eric holder is lashing out at critics of obama saying many of the critics are partly motivated by racial hostility and standing by his comment that america is a nation of cowards when it comes to race that he said previously. >> i would not walk away from that speech. there is a certain racial component for some. i don't think it is a main driver but for some. >> what does the republican leadership think of that?

rob portman from ohio is with us live in cincinnati. good morning. what do you think of the comments from the attorney general? >> he said he thought america was in a better place than it was 50 years ago -- i agree. i agree with him also there is more work to be done. but i don't think blaming the opposition of obama on racial reasons helps us or takes us in the right direction in terms of making progress on dealing with this eternal issue we have in america which is to make sure we are doing everything we can to fight racism. i don't think it is a constructive statement. >> he talked about people taking his country back as well. i hear that from both sides. >> if you look at the polling right now a lot of people who voted for president obama and

don't have anything toward him personally are disappointed and for good reasons. we have the weakest economic recovery since the great depression, being seeing their paychecks going down, higher cost for health care and a country that is not coming together. the president hasn't been able to work with the other side of to get anything done. i don't think it is grounded in animosity towards him but in that he can't get the results people are looking for. >> look at the billboard for a moment here. balance of power stacks up like this. 53 democrats, 2 independents, and 45 republicans. 51 is majority. your magic number is six to take the majority.

as you scan the country is this going to happen for republicans or not? >> i think it looks good this year and a couple reasons for it, bill, is one is math. there is one republican up and six democrats up so the math and the map tend to work for the republicans. and there is a sense in the country we need to change direction. and that is about the president and the senate as well. the senate is blocking legislation and we are not getting things done so all of that helps. sometimes we republicans overpromise and underdeliver but it looks good this year. >> it sounds like you are saying

it is too close to call. is that fair? >> i think it will be a fair majority but i think the chances are we get the majority and that is a function of the direction the country is headed and the fact we have good candidates. >> why cleveland? republicans are headed there in the summer. >> perfect choice. i am excited about it. i lived in cleveland as a kid. i think it is a great choice. it is an emerging city in the heart land and no state is more of a swing state an ohio so that is good. it is big, diverse, represents everything the republican party represents in the sense we are a big diverse party and we need to communicate that better. it will be a great platform to talk about the agenda and we can help lift people up. it is a fun town.

>> and with the lebron james. you are getting lots of attention with that announcement and the convention now. you say if people are not willing to step up and change america the way you want it you will throw your hat in the ring. how serious are you for that? >> i have said i think the country is in trouble with the lack of opportunity and hope and we need someone who can bring the country together as we talked about. the president hasn't done that. and i am concerned about the international situation. if you look around the world, america's role in the world. we are the one indispensable country and i will see who steps up. i think the republican party needs someone who is going to take the broader approach and

make sure people understand our policies for economic growth, getting america back on track, affect every family in america and we have to broaden the reach. >> i will mark it down as a maybe and in television world that is a standby. we will have you back closer to the time. directors and whistleblowers testifying on in front of a va committee about the issues across the country. mike emanual is live. what can we expect to hear from the witnesses today? >> we got a sneakpee speak peek the peek -- a sneak peek that one staff member was

vegas baby. kiss is going to rock vegas. this is a marriage made in heaven. the band announcing their new residency at the vegas hard rock

casino. they will play nine shows. the vegas hard rock spent a year trying to book a group at the venue. >> at the joint. >> guitarist paul stanley said it will be like nothing else the fans have seen. >> let's go to vegas and gets tick tickets for kiss at the joint. detention centers packed in border states with tens of thousands of children waiting to be process and the secretary of health and human services is asking the governors, and in some cases, not asking to help the out with the children. in several states like in nebraska the bus loads showed up with no notice. >> why are they conducting a

secret operation, transporting them all over the country and now to nebraska and the federal government won't tell us what is going on? i want to help the president here. he said he wants to return them. the only way you can do that is keeping track of them. we need to know who they are. >> we heard the same thing from mary fallon. we have leslie and mark here to talk about is. there is a humanitarian side of the crisis. some of the children are by themselves and need to be taken care of. but do we have the capacity and dump people on the state without telling the governor they are on the way? >> actual i don't think dumping children on states without speaking to the governor and notifying them is the right thing to do regardless of who is sitting in the white house. but the reality is we have no

ability based on a law from 2008 and lack of funds -- and this shouldn't be i don't believe a political issue despite the mid-term election. it is terrible using the children as pawns on either side. but we have to put the children somewhere. i do feel they should be tracked and the immigration status of the family members they are placed with should be found out and i do feel the governors should be notified. we have a solution which is turn them around and deport them quicker and currently with the 2008 legislation and lack of funding we cannot do that. >> changing the legislation is one think that can be done. glen beck is loosing subscribers because he is saying the children need to be taken care of and he is bringing truck loads of supplies to take care of them. what is the most important need? >> i think the most important need is for america to have rule

of law. we have open borders and any country like this is no longer sovereign. the governor should be notified and it is an unfair burden on the states. the president disobeys any law he wants issuing executive orderers to change laws but he must follow this. he could propose a change of the law. >> leslie, why doesn't he do that? >> first of all, lark, i love your confidence that congress can't get anything done and doesn't every agree with the president would take place. and you guys are angry with him over the executive orders and if you talk about the cost -- it

does cost to deport the children and that is a cost to. but the national guard on the border. i don't have a problem with that. >> these governors are saying this problem wasn't created by us. you cannot put the kids on buses and send them to family and friends and whoever they can find without checking the immigration status before they get here and then you will round them up and send them back. it is not realistic to think the states can absorb the kids. no one is in charge saying first we will shut the border and then deal with the children here. there are so many questions and not a lot of answers coming from washington, d.c. >> there is not only not answers there is secrecy. when leslie talks about the cost. there is a cost to sending the kids home but it is less than

the cost of keeping them here in the united states. so you cannot say this is a money issue. this is a political issue driven by the white house and it has been since the beginning. >> final thought, leslie. >> come on, mark. any political issue has money attached. >> $17 trillion in debt! >> part of the job of congress. cheaper to ship them home and keep them here. >> you are going to be adding to the number of kids sitting in the classroom and it feels like no body is in charge. thank you mark and leslie. big questions to resolve here. ten minutes before the hour. how about help for the honey bees? a multi-million plan in the works but some say that is not enough. why this is important to you, me and everybody at home.
