tv The Kelly File FOX News August 26, 2015 6:00pm-7:01pm PDT
6:00 pm
writing to the factor. please remember, the spin starts here. we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, the father of a young reporter murdered on live tv this morning speak to the kelly file in a cable news exclusive. along with that reporter's boyfriend. welcome, everyone. i'm megyn kelly. it was just before 7:00 a.m. eastern time when reporter alison parker of roanoke, va's wbdj was conducting an interview about tourism at a local lake. parker who was 24 and her photographer adam ward who was 27 were a regular team on the morning broadcast. and today was no different. but toward the end of their interview, all normalcy was lost as the unthinkable unfolded on
6:01 pm
live tv. >> to provide a better experience. we want the people that come here to say that was -- [ gunfire ] >> more than a dozen gun shots punk waiting the tranquil exchange leaving parker and her sungt with looks of sheer horror. the newscast quickly cut back to the anchor chair where a stunned host would figure out what the sounds were and report back. a few hours later, the news station's general manager would confirm the worst, that parker and ward had died, and that the sounds the viewers heard were in fact gun shots. we learned the source of the gun shots, a reportedly disgruntled former colleague. we're not naming that shooter consistent with our kelly file policy that declines to help those killers seeking infamy. the shooter would lead police just a few hours north of the
6:02 pm
crime scene before crashing into the median where police discovered he had suffered a self inflicted gunshot wound. he was pronounced dead a short time later. to make it more horrifying, the shooter made his own video, posting it to social media. we are showing only part of it and only one time. and we warn you strongly that it is disturbing. you can see the live shot going on as the gunman walks up. alison park earn and adam ward and the woman they're interviewing unaware of what's unfolding around them. you see him circle around the scene and then the gun comes up. it points for a moment, the shooter is heard muttering and then he lowers his hand to gun. roughly 20 seconds later the gun comes back up and we will not show you what happened next.
6:03 pm
our coverage begins tonight with rick leventhal who is live tonight with what we are learning about a possible motive tonight. rick? >> all too afternoon after shootings like this you hear people say the gunman was quiet, we never thought he was capable of violence like this. with that's not what we're hearing about this shooter tonigt tonig tonight. former coworkers are describing the killer as off kilter, bizarre and threatening. he filed two lawsuits against former employers, including wbdj where he only lasted one year as a reporter and the bosses had to call 91 is when they let him know he was being terminated. after the triple shooting earlier this morning, the gunman found time to fax a 23-page rambling letter described as a
6:04 pm
manifesto and a suicide note into abc news. in it he blames today's violence on the charleston church shootings, praising the columbine and virginia tech shooters, claiming he was a victim of sexual harassment and bullying at work, picked on for being a gay black man. yes it will sound like i'm angry. i am. and i have every right to be. but when i leave this earth, the only emotion i want to feel is peace. the church shooting was the tipping point. i've been a human powder keg for a while just waiting to go boom. as you might imagine, the violence has left this town in shock. >> rick leventhal, thank you. joining us, alison parker's boyfriend and coworker chris
6:05 pm
hurst and her father. thank you for being here tonight. let me start with you, andy. how did you find out this morning that something had happened to alison? >> megyn, someone from the station, one of the producers sent us a text that said there were shots fired and they hadn't heard anything from alison. they didn't know if anyone was hurt. but, you know, something had happened. and you know, my daughter calls me every day, or called me every day. she was, you know, she loved us and we were such a tight family. that she always called me just to check in and, you know, get any opinion on what her package looked like. and when i heard that and then as time went on and, you know, there was no call from her, i knew -- i just had a gut feeling that something was wrong. >> you -- i mean the range of emotions you must have been experiencing today.
6:06 pm
i know you've said heart break, shock, anger. tell us. >> well, you know, i've been alternating between the shock and the grief. you know, i'm holding up, i guess okay but i've been crying my eyes out all day long. and you know, it's gone from -- it's gone back and forth, and now it's -- you know, the anger is starting to creep in there. because this should not happen. it shouldn't have happened to someone like alison. >> chris, you and alison lived together. you wanted to get marry pd and you're her coworker, the anchor of the 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. news there. she worked the morning shift. how did you find out this morning? >> megyn, i found out with frantic phone calls this morning. when i returned the phone calls, because iz was asleep.
6:07 pm
it happened around 7:00 a.m. and i -- you know, normally my schedule aligns with hers so when i come home after doing the 11:00 news, i make her breakfast and kiss her good-bye before he goes away in her car. we would always be concerned texting each other when we get to work. and she texted me, good night sweet boy. that was the last i heard from her. i was startled awake this morning telling me that there had been a shooting on the air and that i needed to come to the station. >> when you found out who the shooter was, a former colleague of both of yours, what was your reaction? >> unfortunately i was not surprised because he was someone who was known to people in the station for volatility. alison and adam carried no hate
6:08 pm
in their heart and expressed no hate or ill will. she had had a brief interaction with him when she was an intern at our station in 2013. and he did not work for us for very long. so my interaction and adam's interactions were brief as well. >> you know, he was there, you know -- when she got there, he pretty much was gone. and had disappeared for, you know, over a year. >> when -- of course today we've seen the rantings of a madman in his so-called manifesto. and i don't mean to give them any credence by asking you about it but i want to give you a chance to speak to his allegation before he took his own life, that she had made racist comments as some sort of a bizarre justification for his behavior, chris. >> well, megyn, you know, let me start, i watched no news today.
6:09 pm
i did not see any of that. i didn't want to see any of it. and unfortunately i was listening prior to our coming on that he used hollow point bullets. chit was tough to -- it's almost tough standing here knowing that. so i did not know any of the details. i didn't want to know any of the details other than, according to law enforcement that i talked to here, she didn't suffer. at least that's some solace. >> i'll answer your question, megyn, by saying that i do not think that anybody at wdbj 7 was intentionally rude or discriminatory to him. clearly someone who has decided to premeditated take action and kill two people in cold blood and tried to kill a third is not someone who is making rational and lucid thoughts when he
6:10 pm
issues what you are identifying as a manifesto. so i don't think you can take anything that is said in any of his writings and take it as something that is to be believed. >> he was a -- i'm sorry, chris. he was a crazy man that got a gun. and that's, you know, that's part two of where we're going. >> and i have posted on my facebook page that i report on mental health issues, and i have since last year when a state senator was stabbed by his son. so i think we need to be very careful with how we identify this man and we don't label him and then discriminate against everyone else who has a mental illness in this country who need access to services. clearly something went wrong here between him leaving our station, being able to purchase a gun and commit a premeditated act. what happened behind us was clearly wrong. but there had been ample time beforehand where many, many
6:11 pm
other things went wrong. those need to be addressed. not any of the allegations that he's saying about the love of my life, the daughter that he loved, a cameraman who deeply loved his fiance who is the morning producer and she loved him back in equal measure. >> it was believed by some that before adam died, the photographer, that he actually pointed his camera in the direction of his killer so there would be photographic evidence of the man who took his life. it's just speculation -- >> that's what you want to speculate, go right ahead. you're talking about two people who were killed in cold blood that didn't suffer. >> i really don't want to talk about that. i want to talk about -- and i was told that this is going to be about alison's life and what she meant. frankly she was -- you know, i had reservations coming here. if it were any other situation i
6:12 pm
wouldn't have. but she was a journalist. she was a journalist first and a tv personality second. make no mistake, he was a journalist and he would have wanted me to come here and state the case. you know, we even laughed -- we joked with her that he was the perfect fox news girl. she was pretty, she was blond and she was extremely smart. >> driven and dedicated. all of her coworkers talked about how hard she worked, how dedicated she was to the job, no shift she wouldn't take. >> she always went the extra mile. >> i hope abandy, that it's some comfort to you, and to you, chris, that she died doing what he loved to do. and in the presence of a friend who appeared to care for her as well. i want to give you the chance to offer your message, because it must be so hard to come on television hours after you've
6:13 pm
lost someone. i raised the point about the camera man's heroic actions only because iz was moved by them as a journalist. but i want you to have a chance to say what you want to say. well, i appreciate that. alison, she was only 24 years old. she only turned 24 a week ago. and yet she lived a great life. i mean she did a lot of stuff. she excelled at everything she did. and she loved what she did. she loved the people that she worked with. she was happy with her place in life. so, you know, we can only take some solace in the fact that she had a wonderful life. she was extremely happy. and she loved this guy with all of her heart. and that's, that's the toughest thing for me. everybody that she touched loved
6:14 pm
her and she loved everybody back. and, you know, i'm not going to let this issue drop. we've got to do something about crazy people getting guns. and, you know, the problem that you guys have -- and i know it's the news business and this is a big story. but next week it isn't going to be a story anymore and everybody is going to forget it. but you mark my words, my mission in life -- and i talked to the governor today. he called me and he said -- i told him, i said, i'm going to do something, whatever it takes, to get gun legislation to shame people, to shame legislators into doing something about closing loopholes in background checks and making sure crazy people don't get guns. and he said, you go. i'm right there with you. so, you know, this is not the last you've heard of me. this is something that is alison's legacy that i want to make happen.
6:15 pm
>> andy and i have been trying to be strong today because we felt that it was our duty to alison because she was a journalist and this is what she would have wanted us to do. to share her story. he was a story teller by profession. we're trying to tell her story. we're also wanting to make sure her life was not in vain. her university immediately decided to open up a scholarship fund in her name for the school of media arts. it is in harrisburg where she grew to love television news and journalism. that is somewhere he fostered her passion. that is what we're trying to focus on now. >> remember, you already know this, you guys, she was one of you. she was one of you and don't let this go. don't let it slide. >> you both do her great honor tonight. i don't know how you're standing but i'm so grateful for you coming on and speaking with us. all the best to you.

6:19 pm
tragedy in virginia turns to guns. almost as soon as news of the deadly shooting broke, everyone from hillary clinton to the white house and the democratic governor of virginia spoke of the need for more gun control, even at the time we knew little about the suspect or his possible motives. watch. >> i've said consistently, there are too many guns in people's hands that should not have them. i had to veto a piece of legislation that allowed individual to buy machine guns in the commonwealth of virginia. i had to veto another piece of legislation that allowed folks to carry loaded shot guns in their cars. >> did we know that he is not a permit holder? >> i don't. i don't. at this stage, i don't. >> this is another example of gun violence that is becoming all too common in communities large and small all across the united states. and while there is no piece of
6:20 pm
legislation that will end all violence in this country, there are some common sense things that only congress can do. >> we have got to do something about gun violence in america. and i will take it on. there are many people who face it and know it, but then turn away because it's hard. it's a very political difficult issue in america. >> joining us now, dana loesch. she's the host of dana and also the author of "hands off my gun", along with bill burton. thank you both for being here. let me -- i mean obviously all of our hearts go out to these grieving families and to our fellow journalists who lost their lives today. and you heard where the family is going with it. i'll just start with you, dana, as somebody who is a stauj defender of the second amendment on your reaction to what you
6:21 pm
heard. >> it's heartbreaking. there is evil in this world. megyn, first off, it's good to have you back. i was hearing on my radio program, hearing from people calling into my program, they saw this happen on thar televisions this morning and they were sharing their experiences and perspectives about it. you are always going to have criminals in this world and you are always going to have -- evil exists and it is real. this is proof of it. my heart goes out to their families and the colleagues. it's a terrifying thing. this is the first social media murder which creates a whole other new development. >> and yet, bill, you know, we didn't see anything done after, you know, what happened at an elementary school with a bunch of six-year-olds, and so what are the odds of anything happening now? >> you know, my son's nursery
6:22 pm
school, after sandy hook, they added a second gate before you could get in that required two hands to open it, a lock on the top and the bottom so a gunman couldn't walk in with a gun. and i think if even at a nursery school that my four-year-old son goes to, they can do something, the fact that lawmakers can't is disgusting. i agree with everything that dana said. there is real evil in this world and we saw it today. but americans are slaughtering americans every day with guns. and at some point we've got to do something about that. >> but the question is what. i mean, they're talking about, you know, background checks and so on. the news tonight, dana, is that he passed one. >> at the time when you had hillary clinton and everyone else who was making these remarks, we had no idea how he obtained it. if he passed a background check, it goes to -- he had already had a dustup at work. we don't know if he had a mental
6:23 pm
illness. and we already know for the instance in charleston, megyn, that individual, that murderer passed a background check because the fbi failed to properly file documentation. we know from our own vice president joe biden that when you fall fie the information on the thing that you fill out when you get a background check, they're not prosecuting individuals who are lying on those forms which is a felony. >> the question is whether we're enforcing the laws as they exist in a meaningful way. but we're learning more about the shooter's background and what was knowna anbout him or should have been known u about him and the question of whether he should have been given a gun. we're going to pick it up right after the break. a quick two-minute break. don't go away. new from meow mix with real salmon chicken or tuna. the only treat cats ask for by name. what would you like, apple or cherry? you're giving away pie?
6:24 pm
6:25 pm
everyone loves the chase. you owned your car for four you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!" then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. before i had the shooting, these feet grew up in a family diabetic of boys... married my high school sweetheart... and pursued a degree in education. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and she prescribed lyrica.
6:26 pm
nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda-approved to treat this pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new, or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and i love helping first graders put their best foot forward. ask your doctor about lyrica. serious questions tonight about the killer in virginia and whether he should have been able to get a gun. dana loesch and bill burton are back with me. if he passed a background check, what laws could be tighten to
6:27 pm
prevent somebody like this from getting a gun? >> exactly. if he passed a background check, then the question bks why wasn't this reported as we saw in the gifford shooting. you had an individual who had been kicked out of the college that had been reported to the sheriff's office, nobody followed up on it. virginia tech the same thing. the problem we see each aefr every time is you have an abundance of laws and you have people who do not follow those laws. i want to bring up something really quickly. everyone is focusing on the gun. can we bring up the fact that this is a racially charged racially motivated crime by somebody who had a grievance. >> you know, we saw this, we've seen this in other cases where a disgruntled employee goes back to the place of business and takes the live of husband coworks. we did a special on somebody who did it, he beheaded a woman with a knife. you can take away the weapon.
6:28 pm
shouldn't we be focusing on taking away the will to murder and is that even possible in 2015 united states of america? >> it would be great if we could take away the will to murder. the answer can't be do nothing. if people are being repeatedly killed with guns -- there are not a lot of beheadings in the united states. but guns are what's at the center every single time. and yes, we should focus on the fact that that's the weapon being used. more people get killed with guns in the united states than any other country in the world and there has to be something we can do about it. it can't just be that background checks can't save us every single tomb. it ought to be what the heck are we going to do to save the united states of america from the gun problem that it has right now. >> we don't have a gun problem. we have a criminal problem. we have a society that thinks it's completely permissible to shirk responsibility. we have people with no problem with what planned parenthood does. we don't speak a respect for
6:29 pm
life. we glorify violence in movie, music, film and books. this is what society has created. sit a reflection of us. and as i said, criminals are always going to be with us. i've had my life protected with a gun. i don't want that right taken from me. >> thank you both for being here. tough story and tough night. thank you both. 24 hours after univision ansore jorge ramos is kicked out of a news conference in iowa, neither man is backing down. guess what, he's here, next. >> okay. who is next. yes. >> mr. trump, vi a question. >> sit down, you weren't called. sit down. for me is it keeps the food out. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. super poligrip is part of my life now.

6:33 pm
last night the chief anchor of the largest spanish newscast in the united states was kicked out of a donald trump news conference. and tonight no one is backing down. with jorge ramos standing by his conduct and donald trump accusing ramos of quote ranting and raving like a mad man. i was 24 hours ago when ramos confronted trump in iowa. trump refused to answer at first because ramos was not called on by him. watch. >> okay. who is next? yeah, please >> mr. trump, i have a question. >> excuse me, sit down. you weren't called. sit down. sit down. sit down. go ahead. >> i have the right to ask a question. >> no, you don't. wow haven't been called. go back to univision. go ahead. >> you cannot -- >> go ahead. >> you cannot deport 11 million people. >> go ahead.
6:34 pm
sit down, please. you weren't called. >> i'm a reporter. i have the right to ask a question. >> joining me now, jorge ramos, host of america with jorge ramos on the fusion cable network. what is it like to be caught in the cross hairs of a billionaire presidential front runner? >> you know how it feels. but today is a really sad day for journalism. my condolences of the families of the victims today in virginia. you know, the only thing i wanted to do is to ask a question. many weeks ago i requested an interview with mr. donald trump. u sent him a handwritten note with my cell phone. instead of returning the phone calls or calling me, he publish it online and didn't want to give me an answer. however there are many questions that we have on mr. donald
6:35 pm
trump. how is he going to deport 11 million documented immigrants. how is he going to deny citizenship for the children of the immigrants here. how is he going to build a 1900 mile wall. we needed answers so we decided to go to iowa, go to the press conference and ask those questions. and clearly donald trump didn't like my question and then that's what happened. he tried to silence me. and in this country you cannot do that. i'm a u.s. citizen, i'm an immigrant, i'm a reporter and i have the right in this country to ask any question i want to whom ever i want. >> and you know what he said was you -- that he was suggesting you were looking for a confrontation, that you were rude to the other reporters in the room because you didn't wait your turn. >> no. i follow my turn. two reporters before me asked their questions and then i said i have a question on immigration. and nobody else said anything.
6:36 pm
he was ready to listen to my question, and as soon as i started telling him that it was impossible -- because it's really his immigration plan is full of empty promises. it's impossible to do what he's saying he's going to do. he didn't like the question. and then he called on another reporter trying to make sure that i would stop. and he told me to sit down. >> let me ask you this. clearly he's not a fan of yours rnls i follow the rules and he just didn't like the question. >> it's not unusual for a reporter to jump up and start questioning. it's not unusual for a reporter to do what you did. that's clear. >> do it all the time. >> however, let me ask you this. because he clearly is not a fan of yours. and of univisions. but it appears to be mutual. >> neither of yours. >> so in his defense, why would he want to engage with you when you are on the record as calling him the most hateful divisive figure running for president
6:37 pm
right now. >> well, because his ideas are extreme when it comes to immigration and when it comes to freedom of the press. i've been in journalism for 30 years and never been ejected from has news conference. those are things you see in dictatorships. not in america. it's important that he answer the question. he hasn't answered the question on how is he going to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants from that country? can you imagine? it will require the army. is he going to put thousands of immigrant in stadiums and use buses and airplanes to deport them? that's not the united states that i know. >> he's been asked those questions. >> he want to deny citizenship to the children born in this
6:38 pm
country. >> even when you came back in, you asked him some of those questions, you said how are you going to build a fence that's 1900 miles. he said it's easy. it's tougher to building a story that's 95 stories high. i'm a builder. do you accept that? >> no, of course not. he says he's very good with money. but let me tell you something, it would be a waste of money to build a 1900-mile wall. simply because 90% of immigrants come by plane and overstay their visas. >> he says he doesn't believe that. >> facts are facts and the fact is they come by plane almost 40% and 75% of latinos nationwide have a negative opinion of mr. trump. >> the gallop poll shows 65 p%.s but he did give you an answer but you disagreed with the answer.
6:39 pm
the thing is, he doesn't like univision. he's suing univision for $500 million because they canceled his miss usa. there seems to be bad blood and it goes back to june when they canceled the miss universe con fe test. and then the head of programming at univision sent out a picture of donald trump on one side and a mass rapist murderer on the other side. we always blur out the faces of the mass murderers. he was forced later to apologize for doing that. can you understand trump's side of it, which is this is not the outlet i want to take these questions from because their mind is made up about me? >> i understand that. but also, he's talking about the fastest growing electoral block in the united states. he's talking about 16 million la teen nos who will go to the polls and might decide the
6:40 pm
election. it doesn't matter if he doesn't like it. there are questions that need to be answered. and the problem is he's not used to being questioned. he doesn't like uncomfortable questions. it happened with you, with your colleagues at fox news. he hates it when he's being confronted. we have to ask the questions. as journalists, with all due respect, i think we have to take a stand when it comes to racism, corruption, public life, dictatorships and public life. when he's speaking -- when he's expressing those really dangerous words, ve to confront him. that's our job, to ask tough questions even if he doesn't like them. >> jorge, it's great to see you. thank you for being here. up next, an coulter weighs in on that interview. breaks news, a standoff in louisiana after a police officer is shot and killed. ♪

6:46 pm
immigrants mostly from central america coming across mexico. probably more than 50 million here. >> can you speak to the point that he got into. you've looked at this. speak to the point that people use against conservatives like yourself about there's in way to deport 11.3 million people. can't do it. >> well, i'd also say getting into that, he didn't have a question. i mean that was very obvious from your interview with him. he was reading a statement. it was like the woman who wanted a hug from me. i get this all the time at speeches. activists don't understand the concept of question. ask a question. what he said to you is my question is can't be done, it's impossible, you're going to put them in stadiums and call out the army. that's not a question. of course it can be done. the amount of money spent on the illegal immigrants here, you

have 70% of illegal heads of households with children collecting government assistance, you have all of the crimes, and that's not only the court costs, there are the court translators, the facial reconstruction surgery, the psychologists, the wounded families, the funeral costs. there's $20 billion being sent back to mexico every year by immigrants, both legal and illegal here. >> quick question. i want to ask you a quick question. we're short on time. forgive me. >> it's a time saver to build a fence and send them home. >> he says he has to speak out because as journalists we have an obligation when it comes to bigotry. >> he's an activist. he's not a journalist asking questions. he depends on lots of poor mexicans living here and not being able to understand, for example, your show. so they have to watch univision. he's an activist. bringing in lots of poor people to compete with other poor people doesn't help the poor

people already here. that drives their wages farther and farther down. it he's an ethnic activist and he was showing up to protest there, not to ask a question at all. >> ann coulter good to see you. >> good to see you. the only thing i disagree with donald trump on, and i told the crowd last night, is his attacks on you, megyn. you are great ratings when you have him on >> thank you so much. joining me now with more, dana free no. what about this. he continued to say as a journalist you have to take a stand on racism and human rights which does confuse the role of journalist with advocate. >> and in 2015, that line has been crossed by many people. and there is an evolution of universali
6:49 pm
journalism. when he said univision's position, that is choosing a side. that's pesh fektly acceptable. they're not shy about it. i'm not a fan of that tactic in a press conference in iowa. i do think donald trump was, you know, had decorumi, he's callin on the reporters. he's got the lawsuit against univision. >> and the instagram by the univision boss. i mean, you know, he's made a choice, jorge ramos has made a choice. it's worked well for him and his audience. i understand they want questions and i think they could have gotten them. but what he was trying to do last night was to get attention for himself. donald trump ended up with attention to himself which he didn't plan on. >> he always gets attention. >> and the only story today is about the exchange and the fight are with the reporter, not about the substance of the immigration
6:50 pm
plan. >> would we be talking about that if jorge ramos didn't do what he did? >> probably not. i do think that donald trump is a risk taker. when you're advising a candidate for president, you say if you want to get around this issue, high i think you should do it. and in a couple weeks he'll do it. well, did it serve both purposes? i think so. at least it got everybody talking. also, i don't think that -- i think you could shout a question at the end of a press conference, not at the beginning of one. >> he pointed out -- i hadn't seen this. two question hs already been asked of the trump staffer. so the presser was sort of ongoing, he saw an opportunity. as a journalist we stand up and try to get our questions answered. dana is on the other side, says she doesn't like it. we want to get our questions in. >> george bush had a good look, right? sit down. just like a look. you don't have to like say anything. >> yeah.

>> we couldn't deal with his inadequacy. so he looked in the mirror, didn't like what he saw and decided the only way he would make a name in tv news was to go out and find two people doing their job that had nothing to do with his inadequacies or inferiority complex and take them out so he could be the headline news. the best thing we could do after today is never speak of this guy again. with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb.
