you do that? >> bill: fair and balanced it was a strike. martha: well-done. we'll leave that picture up as a permanent backdrop for you. don't you think that is good idea? we like your sneakers. giving him a hard time for sneakers. you look cute. e we're over. bye, everybody. see you tomorrow. bill: bye-bye. >> do we get to see video to decide whether that was a strike or not? jenna: we need to double source that. that is not enough to know if it was. jon: let's find that out. "happening now" investigation. inside look at the immigration crisis. good morning to you, i'm jon scott. jenna: that is our top story of the day, everybody. hope you're off to a great week so far. i'm jenna lee. thousands of unaccompanied minors and women with children streaming into your country. making their way here crossing illegally into the united states through our southwest border. now apparently they're hoping to

stay. so as our president and lawmakers struggle what to do we have our very own john roberts with a tour of the border area. he joins us with a live report from mission, texas with more. john? >> reporter: jenna, good morning to you. we're getting in last 24 hours what might be first piece of good news in all this. according to the border patrol, daily apprehensions in the rio grande valley are down from 1200 a day to 6 or 700. we got an exclusive look inside of the detention center that the border patrol has in mcallen, texas. the first time cameras were allowed there. there is 600 people in the detention center, down from 1500. that it is still crowded. a enormous amount of people for border patrol agents to process them. why do you ask are the numbers down? typically there is seasonal drop in illegal migration as heat gets out there. the border patrol believes the message may be getting out for

central american countries for people not to come. there are indications that this problem will only continue to grow. we toured the border with texas republican congressman louie gohmert. he was there when dozens of illegal mig grants were apprehended 2:00 a.m. through one interpreter, one gave gohmert what he said was an on must message. >> he is asking you are you going to stay until everybody finishes coming? he said because if you're going to stay until everybody keeps coming you will be here a long time. he said there are thousands of us. >> reporter: gohmert is one republican who is highly critical of the president's request for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to deal with this crisis saying what the president really needs to do is increase the number of people being sent back. that is an opinion shared by many of his republican colleagues and the border patrol union here in texas. >> once you start sending people back the word will get out, that the message is, if you come you're going back and you're

wasting your time. therefore it happened before. once you do that mandatory detention, mandatory removal, everything stops. >> reporter: now the department of homeland security is trying to speed up removal process for adults and family units at least, hoping to have up and running enough space in the next few weeks to house 6300 family units. they can only house 90 of them right now. that will cut down theoretically on process of taking these family units and sending them across the country to relatives or friend or anywhere from manassas, virginia, to seattle, washington. a process during which many of these people are expected to simply disappear. jenna. jenna: much more on the story throughout the day, john. thank you. jon: new information on the scandal rocking the department of veterans affairs. in just a matter of hours a house committee is holding a hearing on the backlog of veterans disability claims. last year, you know, the va reduced a large percentage of those delayed compensation cases but written testimony for today's hearing says it has

taken many wrong steps in processing those claims. special report anchor bret baier is live in washington with more. this va scandal just keeps going on and on. another hearing on the docket on capitol hill, bret. according to this "usa today" story the agency has done better, maybe picked up the pace in processing some of these backlogs of claims but they have done so at the expense of claims that were on appeal. those seem to be going nowhere. >> that's right, john. obviously the va, we've been you can talking a lot about wait times at hospitals what that meant and fraudulent lists this deals with the compensation, something that dealing with these benefits claims that the administration has been touting has been a real success story. now this inspector general report, the written testimony, says that that success story has been overstated. dramatically so. and while there has been some success, it has been overstated

according to the inspector general and that other claims are still on the way backburner and these appeals for benefit compensation have been pending for a long, long time. i think you're going to see a lot of fireworks, not just on the treatment of veterans but also on this compensation benefits situation and what the va's doing about it. jon: because the veterans affairs committee will be holding that hearing tonight, the one i mentioned earlier. apparently one of the problems, is not just with health care but the overall benefits that are owed to, you know, troops coming out of the wars in iraq and afghanistan. they're coming back. they are owed certain kind of compensation. and the va simply can't handle it. >> it's a massive, massive thing. this $73 billion this year alone on this it is essentially half of the veterans affairs agency, the department's budget and, it

is getting backlogged. it has been backlogged. they said they cut it more than half of the backlog but, this inspector general report says that's a little bit over, overambitious as far as how they're dealing with all of this benefit, these claims. and, you know, you're going to hear testimony about specifics, about people who have been waiting x number of days for benefits that just have been lost in the system. jon: yeah. as the father of a soldier who fought in afghanistan and a brother of a soldier who fought in vietnam i don't want to take anything away from our troops obviously but apparently one of the problems is that some of the folks are being paid benefits that they actually aren't entitled to, either because they're collecting veterans benefits as well as collecting reservist benefits. that kind of thing. a lot of these claims apparently are being evaluated are actually being overpaid. how do they get to the bottom of

that? >> i mean, there are three words in washington that are very, very popular for a number of different agencies, waste, fraud and abuse and it, it is all over this city and every department deals with it and every lawmaker says, let's cut waste, fraud and abuse. in this case hundreds of millions of dollars are being paid that shouldn't be paid. the inspector general is looking at that as well. jon: is that something the agency will wrap its arms around or is that sort of low on the priority list, do you think? >> the va has a lot of issues right now and finding that is probably low on the prior list. jon: we'll let you go find some of it, bret. we'll see you ons evening. thanks for joining us today. bret baier. jenna: new developments in the crisis unfolding in the middle east with israel shooting down a drone launch from gaza. the first time it encountered that type of technology. israeli prime minister benjamin

netanyahu made it very clear on "fox news sunday" that his country will do whatever it has to do to defend itself? we'll not give them immunity. so we have to attack them. we try to minimize as we can civilian casualties. but with this kind of enemy we'll take, whatever necessary means that we need to take. i tell you, brit, we tried surgical action. we're not indiscriminate. it is very tough. there will always be civilian casualties which we regret but we have to defend our people and that's what we'll do. jenna: hamas launching nearly 1000 rockets at israel since the conflict began, aiming them at israeli cities with very heavy populations. israel targeting with 1300 airstrikes targeting hamas in gas s the u.n. secretary over the weekend called for immediate ceasefire. we'll talk with jonathan schanzer, a former terrorism analyst who worked for our government and who just returned from israel with his

observations there. jon? jon: mean time president obama once promised to have the most transparent administration in u.s. history but now, as we take a live look at the white house, officials are playing defense amid growing complaints from journalists and ordinary americans that the obama administration has been secretive and far from transparent. senior white house foreign affairs correspondent wendell goler live with more on that. wendell? >> reporter: jon, some 40 news organizations including the society of professional journalists and the national press club wrote the white house earlier this month to complain about obama administration secrecy. their letter called on the president to quote, stop the spin and let the sunshine in. it noted mr. obama's promise to bring a new era of openness to federal government but said instead he continued a practice growing over the past 20 years of isolating federal officials from reporters. most reporters have to go through public affairs officers and survey found that 40% of

them admitted they blocked certain reporters because they didn't like what they wrote. on cnn's "reliable sources," yesterday, press secretary josh earnest defended administration that it does a couple things that past presidents didn't do. it publishes salary information about people that work on the white house and lets reporters into private fund raisers. >> the previous administration went to the supreme court to prevent that information being released. this administration releases voluntarily on internet on quarterly basis. reporters clamored to get access to fund-raisers attended in private homes. reporters have access to those when this president goes to a private home. >> reporter: earnest brushed off of the complaints as part of natural tension between the press and presidency. if reporters felt they were getting enough information they wouldn't be doing their jobs. jon? jon: wendell, have they evoked

blackout curtains behind you? >> there are places we can't go. there are a lot of place west can't go. this is not new to this presidency. jon: they will leave you, let you stand out on their lawn, won't they? nice of them. wendell goler at the white house, thank you. jenna: he is charged in a fatal movie theater that started over texting. this former police officer is out of jail and back at home. the conditions of his release. we'll get you caught up on that. plus two years after a deadly shipwreck, the costa concordia is floating again. where the cruise liner is heading next. we want to hear from you, do you think the united states is doing enough to deal with the border and the crisis there. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow. of the how would you solve issue. we'll be right back. i make a lot of purchases for my business.

>> reporter: jenna, it has cost $2 billion to get to this point t has been an unprecedented salvage operation which first, jenna, involved righting the costa concordia which had been on its side on a reef since it crashed 2 1/2 years ago and floating it up to the surface and that watts key milestone, the achievement of today. the ship had been hoisted on to a specially constructed platform on the seafloor and enormous boxes were attached to its sides to steady it. those got pumped full of air today, floating the massive vessel which is twice the size of the titanic up to the surface of the mediterranean sea. once sufficiently stablized it will be towed to the port of genoa where it will be scrapped. 32 people were killed when the costa concordia sailed too close what it called a salute to the aisle land. the captain is being tried for manslaughter having abandoned ship. all but one of the bodies has been recovered. rescuers are hoping to have another chance to recover the body of russell rubello, a young

waiter on board last seen trying to help people on to lifeboats. jenna, for residents of the island, the carcass of the ship has really just been such a painful reminder of the tragedy that took place there, claiming so many lives. jenna? jenna: amy kellogg, live in lond do, amy, thank you. jon: a shocking crime to tell you about in a residential neighborhood a man accused of going on a shooting spree killing members of his ex-wife's family. now we're hearing from a teen who was the only survivor of that shooting. and as the violence grows between israel and hamas, stunning words from israel's prime minister to bring the crisis home for americans. >> i just want your viewers to imagine the united states being bombarded, not in one city or in two cities but in every city between new york and colorado. no country can accept that. we can't accept that and we'll

hospital friday. she attended an emotional memorial over the weekend. >> i'm really thankful for all of the people that have been praying to me and keeping me and my family in their thoughts. >> reporter: cassidy is credited saving lives of their grandparents calling police immediately after haskell left. they believe he planned to kill the grandparents next. the suspect appeared in court friday and colapped during his hearing. the his lawyer says haskell is mentally ill. his ex-wife melody lion is heartbroken over the death of her sister, brother-in-law and their four young children. her lawyer says she was abused during her 11-year marriage to haskell. jon? >> patti ann browne what a sad story. thank you. jenna: we'll take you overseas next. the growing steps in the battle between israel and hamas. israel said they shot down an unmanned drone in gaza, possibly looks like this one traveling

along the southern coast. first time israel said it encountered such technology since battle with militants began last week. big question where the militants are getting that technology. no signs of cease-fire between the two sides though. we want to talk about this with jonathan schanzer, vice president of research at the foundation for defense of democracies. jonathan, we heard from the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, speaking on "fox news sunday" saying that americans don't understand what this is like to have rockets coming pouring into your country over the majority of your population. you're an american who actually knows what that is like because you were just there in israel. tell us a little bit about your experience. >> sure, jenna. i should just note i lived in israel when the second intifada broke out. that is when i was getting my master's degree. when the threat of hamas suicide bombings were getting israelis running for cover. people were afraid to go out shopping. they were afraid to go out to malls. now we have a different kind of tactic where rockets being fired

blindly out of the gaza strip into israeli population centers. you have basically 15 or 20 seconds to get to a shelter. i had two experiences like that. once in jerusalem where i had to quickly get off of a rooftop deck where i was having dinner of the following day i had to go into a shelter at the airport because rockets were firing in. this is the way a lost israelis are living right now. this of course is a climate of fear. jenna: there are geeing calls for restraint on the behalf of the international community for israel, to show restraint, from firing back into gaza. you don't hear those same calls necessarily for the folks in gaza firing, actually say terrorists fire into israel. talk us through that double-standard. why does it exist? >> well, look, i mean the bottom line there is not been a death yet on the israeli side as a result of the rocket fire coming out of the gaza trip. but that doesn't tell the whole story. the reason why there has not been a death is because there is a system that has been developed

by the israelis with a assistance here from the united states. significant amount of funding. that system is called iron dome and it literally shoots down these rockets with anti-rocket artillery. this has saved countless israeli lives but intent by hamas and some of these other groups is absolutely there to inflict as much damage as humanly possible. so the israelis have the edge thanks to u.s. assistance and their technology, their ingenuity but certainly that, that's not told right now as the story unfolds. jenna: a big question as well, jonathan, is there a way to overwhelm the iron dole? >> there has been. i think we've seen a couple of examples where hamas fired five or six or seven rockets. it has been i think perhaps a little more difficult for the israelis to tackle all of them. the system is very complex. they're able quickly to determine whether those rockets are destined for areas where they are not civilians there, so they choose not to

shoot them down, focusing on ones that appear to be headed towards civilian populations. jenna: as you point out if the technology wasn't there this would be a very different conflict we would see deaths obviously on both sides. where do you think this goes from here? what will you be watching to see if it gets bigger than it already is? >> so far we've seen the united states offer to broker this. this really has fallen on deaf ears over there in the middle east. we've heard talks of perhaps the egyptians brokering a cease-fire but egyptians and hamas don't get along terribly well right now. what is interesting we're hearing calls for turkey or qatar to broker a cease-fire. this is very ironic because both of these countries are sponsors of hamas. i don't see how they would be able to do this with any credibility. and so i, it is quite possible that this thing drags on for another couple days or perhaps even longer. jenna: if that is the case, what is the appropriate foal for the -- role for the united states in this? >> the united states should try

to get both sides to back down. we need to keep those channels open with both sides but i also think that we need to understand that the israelis do have a right to continue to defend themselves. you don't want to see these long-range rockets going into israeli territory. there will be a limit to how many of these rockets they can shoot down. so i think, you know, there needs to be an understanding of the defense needs of the israelis and i think united states basically has accepted that for now. jenna: we'll see where it goes from here. jonathan, great to see you as always. pleasure. >> pleasure, thank you. jon: shots ring outside of a nightclub in a crowded downtown area. [gunfire] but what happened right before the bullets went flying. also we are live at the white house amid growing criticism from journalists and other groups that the obama administration is far from the most transparent in u.s. history as the president repeatedly promised. what the white house is saying and how the media are covering it all.

we'll go in depth with our panel just ahead.

jon: right now a quick look at what is still to come this hour of "happening now." citigroup settles the subprime mortgage case for $7 billion. what it means for your bottom line. a mysterious smell forces folks out of their homes. why hazmat crews are responding now. plus as comedian tracy morgan heads home from the rehab center to finish his recovery from last month's car crash he is now taking legal action. who he is suing. we're live with the "fox 411". jenna: bullets flying on a crowded street outside of a nightclub in connecticut after a fight apparently gets out of control. laura ingle live with the story from the newsroom. >> jenna, seems like a absolute miracle that no one was killed

or came away with life threaten injuring that showed people running for their lives. detectives from stamford are still looking for witnesses. somebody standing near the shooter took the dark and blurry video on a mobile phone. you can hear and see terrifying moments untold as the gunman fires shot after shot into the crowd as people run and duck for cover. police release a video posted on social media and hopes witnesses will provide more information. detectives say four men and one woman were hurt. 22-year-old day wrong will list allegedly sprayed gunfire outside of tino's nightclub early sunday morning. wills was taken into custody after the incident and charged with five counts of first degree assault. he is being held on one million dollars bond. stamford police said wills admitted his involvement in the shooting after getting into a fight over a woman and told police he discarded his weapon nearby. police found a loaded .40

caliber handgun which wills had a valid permit. he was legally registered to carry the weapon. wills mother linda gave an interview with a local pep said he had the permit because he works in security. he told the stamford advocate, her son told her he got jumped inside the club. he had a small amount of pot when he was arrested. he is expected to be arraigned today. if you're have more information call the stamford detective bureau. jenna? jenna: laura, thank you. jon: a battle over transparency at the white house as growing number of journalism groups say the obama administration is giving out too little information and too much misinformation. but the new white house press secretary josh earnest sees it differently. he is doubling down on the transparency issue. listen. >> i have a 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 steps we've taken -- >> i'm surprised say that line.

>> absolutely. >> he has been criticized so many times saying that given prosecutions of whistle-blowers and other steps. >> yeah. >> you all still stick by that line? >> absolutely. absolutely. jon: joining us jim pinkerton, contributing editor and writer for the "american conservative" magazine and alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show, author of the "thank the liberals for saving america." both fox news contributors and both quite transparent. >> that is why i'm wearing a light suit today. >> what do you think, jim, about josh earnest's claim that yes indeed this is the most transparent? >> well, you can begin with the letter last week from the society of professional journalists urging the president to be more transparent and saying this is a secretive administration. this is, society of professional journalists what is sound like a trade association that has been around since 1909 for journalists. they were joined in signing that letter by 36 other media groups

and pointer institute and group called investigative reporters and editors, ire. it is pretty well-known group. what can you say the entire journalistic professional establishment disagrees with the paid spokesperson for the obama white house about how transparent they are. jon: you are, alan, a professional journalist. >> i'm not. jon: okay. >> i'm not journalist. i'm an advocacy broadcaster but i wouldn't call myself a journalist. but i'm not shocked journalists somehow feel an administration is not transparent enough. there is nothing shocking about that. fox news opinion poll out just this morning shows that while about 38% say they're as transparent, 27% say they're more transparent. which means about 65% say this administration is either as transparent or more transparent than previous administrations. so, but it is not shocking to find that journalists are upset that not enough transparency.

jon: but look at numbers on the top line, especially jim, august of 2010, you had one in four americans thinking that maybe this was not so, not as transparent an administration as in the past. now the number is up to one in three, roughly, 30, let's see 34%. >> right. the public is reacting the findings of, for example, len downey, former executive editor of "the washington post" who is now a journalism professor at arizona state university. he issued a giant report, just last year, on secrecy again. and how the obama administration's effort including the effort to wiretap james rosen much fox news and also associated press and chased down all other leaks are undermining, this is len downey, "the washington post" guy talking investigative journalism. because it is the obama administration, as opposed to nixon administration and bush administration, the media are

not up in arms. if this was done by republican president they would be talking about impeachment. >> they're talking about impeachment. >> journalists talking about it. not a few on right. jon: talking about impeachment on other issues not freedom of the press. >> which itself is ridiculous. i agree, i wish this administration were more transparent. i wish every administration were more transparent. it is normal for those of us on the broadcasting side of things to want as much transparency as possible. and no governmental presidency or agency will ever be transparent enough to satisfy the desires of broadcasters, ever. never going to happen. jon: what about, alan, what about a guy like james rosen just doing his job for fox news -- >> i agree. jon: and gets put in professional yepdy, getting email records sifted through by the justice department? >> how far that extends into the white house i'm not sure. whether the president himself was involved of course has never been shown. i agree with you. there should be certainly much

more transparency and among many, many others but there is nothing surprising by this lack of transparency. jon: jim, since the president usually finds out about major crises in his administration reading them in the newspaper i'm going to assume that he didn't know the white was tapping into james rosen's emails? right. eric holder is president obama's not only employee and friend. you have to assume eventually holder would get around to telling obama that he launched an unprecedented wiretapping and surveillance effort against the media. at some point the president and maybe even josh earnest would find out about it and not be able to say with a straight face how transparent they are in fact doing opposite even alan acknowledges. >> i would point out, this is probably the most investigated presidency in history. darrell issa vowed he wanted to spend 40 hours a week doing nothing but investigating this presidency. this is only president had to show two different versions of birth certificate. i don't know how much more they want to investigate this

particular executive branch but come under more scrutiny i think than any other president. >> nixon, bush 43. come on alan. give us a break. >> this is nothing but scrutiny day after day. now they want to impeach him? >> they did impeach nixon. >> no, they didn't. he left before they voted on impeachment. >> the judiciary committee did. jon: alan colmes, jim pinkerton, thank you both. jenna: might be disturbing to see it. a corpse left in the middle of the street after it fell out of a vehicle. jon: whoops. jenna: what caused this? we'll tell you the story. plus a multibillion-dollar settlement announced between citigroup and the feds. our next guest says it is a win-win for both. fox news anchor dagen mcdowell explains why and why the consumer, may, may, get a break here next.

double-standard may be at play when women get that label because men don't. >> our hashtag hundred lucky guy on "outnumbered." thank you so jon: a pennsylvania coroner is explaining how a dead body ended up in the middle of a busy road. this dodd by nell out after coroner's van after a door malfunctioned. bucks county coroner joseph campbell said the converted pickup truck was supposed to be taken out of service and replaced this month because of wear and tear. you think? witnesses thought it was a prank. >> first it was weird. nobody was stopping. and i'm looking around to see if there is any cameras or anything around. that it was some kind of a weird prank. it started to sink in what it really was. i walked up to the stretcher and saw it was a body bag covered in a sheet. i knew. wow, that is no joke. jon: well you, bucks county residents will be happy to know that coroner's vehicle has been

retired after a very disturbing incident. bunge cords? >> the justice department attain ad landmark civil resolution with citigroup totaling $7 billion in fines and consumer relief to address the bank's involvement in a scheme to sell fraudulent securities that were backed by toxic loans. jenna: right now citigroup agreeing to that settlement with the justice department after an investigation into those risky subprime mortgages we talked so much about, especially because of their role in the financial collapse back in 2008. fox news's anchor dagen mcdowell is here with more on this settlement which you say is more or less a win-win for both sides. why, dagen? >> right, exactly because eric holder and justice department gets to say, hey, we're cracking down on big banks, the ones we bailed out and without going to trial to prosecute the bank or individuals. by the way if they had enough evidence to do that they would have done it by now. it has been more than six years

since these misdeeds were done. it's a win for them. $7 billion is a big amount. now jpmorgan settled similar charges in november for $13 billion. so it is still a sizable sum. citigroup doesn't have to go to trial t doesn't have a lawsuit filed against it by the justice department and if it went to trial, can you imagine the public relations nightmare that would be. jenna: certainly. what about consumers. do you see the $7 billion settlement, does any of that go back to consumers in any way? should it? i don't know. >> not in form of checks but 2 1/2 billion of the $7 billion figure will be in the form of consumer relief. a lot of that will likely come in mod nying mortgages -- modifying mortgages, citigroup will for knows who are distressed homeowners. it will get back to consumers. that is critical for the justice department to look like it is actually doing something. jenna: you know what it was like is specially during the financial crisis, you were covering it so closely and was such a big story. there were people calling for

bankers to go to prison because of this. >> right. jenna: is this the last of the last? does settlement with citigroup mean that is never going to happen? >> there is settlement with citigroup. the justice department is in talks or negotiations with bank of america. they're underway for a similar effort. but i don't believe that any individual will ever, in a major role in any of these banks will ever be charged. everybody in this country thought home prices were never going to go down. these securities were not as risky as they really were. so everybody bears some of the blame in all of this. jenna: that is what made covering the crisis so difficult, everyone was looking for a villain but everybody had a little bit of a role, the government, the banks and consumer took on debt they really knew they couldn't carry. >> i want to quickly say the justice department was able to extract this kind of settlement from citigroup because they had pretty good evidence people within the bank knew these mortgages were shoddy and packaging them into securities and not disclosing them in there

to big investors that were buying them. jenna: it is interesting. we'll see what happens if we get repeat somewhere down the line. >> right. jenna: quick final question, dagen. i know you fly some. you know, i see this report about new seats in the form of bicycle seats? can you walk us through this please? >> so, airbus has filed a patent request in europe. all you need to do is look at the seat. they are, basically bicycle seats. and you stand when you fly. there is no tray table. no head rest. jenna: looks like a spin class. >> little leg room. by the way there was italian company several years ago, about four years ago unveiled a similar seat. it did have a back component to it. but you're kind of sitting, standing when you're on the airplane. but the patent application by airbus doesn't say anything whether they will actually install the seats in planes. i can say one thing. at least this would prevent somebody maybe from putting

their feet on your, you know, your seat, arm rest where you look down you see somebody's toes creeping in from the aisle behind you. jenna: would you do that? would you get on a plane if that type of seat. >> if it was 75 bucks and flight shorter than an hour, maybe. maybe. jenna: jon, would you do it? jon: i think they ought to have the folks ped dill and push -- pedal and push the airbus in the air. i'm not an airbus fan. jenna: i know you're not. maybe take it up a notch. >> people will do a lot of crazy stuff for really, really cheap tickets. so i don't put it past anybody. jenna: at this point, absolutely. where does your luggage go? can't put it under the seat. that is another thing we have to talk about. i need a packaging strategy. jon: in your pocket. >> more of an overhead nightmare going. thank you, jenna. jenna: thank you, dagen. not airbus fan. jon: not an airbus fan. jenna: maybe a bike seat, maybe?
