tv   Shepard Smith Reporting  FOX News  May 26, 2016 12:00pm-1:01pm PDT

12:00 pm
years but might do it before the election help admitted he pays some federal tax and as john said, he said it's good i rattle world leaders. what do you think? let me know and have a faction day -- a fantastic day. here's shep. >> hello, i'm gregg jarrett in for sheppard smith. we're expecting to hear more from donald trump. set to give a big energy speech in bismarck, north dakota, and when that begins we'll take it to you live. first, from the fox news deck, donald trump has clinched the 1237 delegates that he needs to win the republican nomination. that according to the "associated press." it reports the billionaire reached the magic number after some unbound delegates told the news agency they will spurt him at the convention0. so take a look at this. here's the updated count. you can see trump now has 138 delegates, one more than he needs to lock up the nomination,
12:01 pm
and trump has been the presumptive nominee for weeks already and has been going up for the general election, and stepping up his attacks against democratic front-runner hillary clinton and how says he is willing to debate bernie sanders. >> yes, am. how much is he going to pay me? >> you would do it for a price? >> if i debated him, we would have such high ratings, and i think i should give -- take that money and give it to some worthy charity. okay. >> if it was done for charity, you would agree -- >> if he paid a nice sum toward a charity, i'd love to do that. >> what if the network put up the money. >> what did -- >> what did sanders day? he tweeted game on. hopes the debate will hey before the primary on june 7. his campaign manager says they're having back channel discussions with the trump campaign to arrange the debate.
12:02 pm
earlier this week hillary clinton turned down an invitation to debate bernie sanders here on the fox news channel, and donald trump is also been building up his warchest for november and held his first fundraiser last night. a $25,000 a plate dinner in los angeles. in the meantime, house speaker paul ryan is still refusing to endorse trump, even no. that he has won the magic number of delegates. the two republicans talked by telephone today anded to both trump and speaker ryan said they had a, quote, very good conversation. whatever that means. carl cameron is live in billings, montana, where trump is set to hold a rally tomorrow. >> reporter: a short while ago mr. trump said he had a very good conversation with paul ryan. when asked if he is concern the house speaker is withholding his endorse; trump said, give it a while, giving the impression it will happen but not imminent. trump today was flanked in his news conference in bismarck,
12:03 pm
north dakota, by his north dakota delegates. delegates, some of them unbound who committed to him and they are the ones who claim to have put him over the top and effectively clinch the nomination long before the convention. he was particularly subdued in his language. quite calm, and it comes the day after president obama took some pretty harsh criticism of him while he was in japan, and he -- the president was asked what foreign leaders are saying about donald trump to mr. obama, and the president was pretty harsh and said they're rattled. that was meant as an insult and the president cries size it trump's knowledge of form policy. day trump took the criticism and turned it into a compliment. watch. >> when you've rattle someone, that's good, because many of the world, as you know, many of our -- the countries in our world, our beautiful world, have been absolutely abusing us and taking advantage of us. so, if they're rattled in a friendly way, we'll have great relationships with this kuhn
12:04 pm
tres but if they're rattled in a friend friendly way, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. >> reporter: foreign and dong, willing to rattle anybody and has been rattling the cages on this debate issue with bernie sanders in his news conference trump reiterated his willingness to do it even though he turned down a number of debate invitations from john kashich and ted cruz before the drop out. whether it happens will hinge on a $10 million or more contribution to charity can be arranged as part of the deal. >> so that's trump's response to the president, but what is trump saying about his likely democratic opponent? >> reporter: well, it was interesting. yesterday when the state department's inspector general report came out on her use of the private e-mail serve, unsecurable, and her having not asked permission to do so which would have been denied heaven was initially pretty quiet about it. only talked about it for one sentence in his rally last night, and many expected him to
12:05 pm
tee off on. today he did. listen. >> this was all bad judgment. probably illegal. have to find out what the fbi says about it. but certainly was bad judgment. just read the report. it's devastating, the report. it's devastating. and there's no reason for it. it's just skirting on the edge all the time and you look back at her history and it's her history. a very, very harsh report. >> reporter: so, trump is going to start out his speech to the petroleum conference there, especially outlining what he and republicans describe as an up of the above strategy. fossil fuels, petroleum, energy, coal, gas, and renewables, do everything, make the u.s. energy independent from foreign oil. boost the economy. and actually, he says, reduce the debt with the profits that will be made by our bombing energy industry. >> carl cameron, thank you. let's bring in steven, a
12:06 pm
washington reporter for the "associated press." he led the team that counted the delegates for the ap. we have a photo of steven in action with his trustee calculator. steven, that looks like a 1985 calculator, but it must be better than that. but talk to us how you put this all together. >> well, we have been tracking the number of delegates the presidential candidates have been winning since the primary monday caucuses started at the beginning of the year, and trump has been very close to getting to the magic number. he was at 1209 as of the end of the washington state primary and has to get to 1237. we heard trump was going to be speaking in north dakota today, and was going to be hosting a bunch of north dakota delegates. they're unbound, which means they can support the candidate of their choice. so, in his goal was to have enough delegates there with him
12:07 pm
to put him over the top. so we start calling up bound december tellings across the country, we had reporters making phone calls to see if they were ready to commit on the record to a candidate they were going to support. and as the morning wore on, we got closer and closer, and i called a north dakota delegate named john tandrem, and got hims on his wife's cell phone he was on his way to meet trump. he said i'd be happy to be 1237. he said i'm not ready to commit until you get to 1236. hold on a second. got another delegate next to me and handed the phone to a state rep who said he was willing to confirm he would vote for trump and he handed the phone back and said you're at 1236. he says i'm your guy. >> congratulations on nailing that down. are you concerned that some who say they've committed may defect and go back?
12:08 pm
>> well, not so much worried about that because we have five mime players on june 7th with 303 delegates at stake. so, trump is going to have plenty of opportunity to pad his numbers. we knew he would get to the number as soon as the other candidates dropped out. since all the other candidates dropped out of the race there have been some protests both against trump in some of the primaries but largely the voters have been rallying around him. you can see the establishment republicans are still reluctant, including speaker ryan to endorse him, but he is still getting well over 70% of the vote. now that he is the only one in the race. and it would appear the delegates are starting to rally around him as well. >> does this allow trump to fully focus before the july -- late july convention on organizing his general election campaign and trying to unify the party, or had he pretty much already made that pivot? >> i think he started to make
12:09 pm
that pivot as soon as ted cruz and john kashich dropped out. now he can rest assured he can make the pivot because he doesn't have to worry about their -- there being any contention at the convention. he'll get the nomination. obviously there will be other fights over the platform, probably some protests outside. it's not going to be a boring convention, i don't think, but he can certainly pivot toward the general election now. >> i want to get your reaction to president obama's remarks. very unusual for a sitting president, who is abroad, to intrude upon been ongoings camp payment but said world leaders are rattled be trump and saying proposals by trump or ignorant of foreign affairs and a cavalier attitude and so on. is that the kind of criticism from a lame duck president that really is not going to move the needle much among voters? >> i'm not sure about that.
12:10 pm
i don't think it's any mystery what the president's views of donald trump are, and quite frankly, any of these establishment folks -- you heard a lot of the establishment republicans coming out against trump. very harshly, bit the -- by the way. remember mitt romney's speech. while there was still a contested primary, and that didn't affect trump supporters. i'm not sure they're the kind of people who look to obama for leadership. so, i'm not sure how much effect it would have. >> stephen, fine job in leading the team that arrived at the magic number of 1237. now 1238 for donald trump, clinching the nomination and thank you for sharing your story with us. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> we're still wait took hear from donald trump about his energy proposals. we'll bring that to you live when his speech begins. he is going to be using a teleprompt so going to be different. maybe a bit more organized. also, hillary clinton says the
12:11 pm
inspector general report that claimed her private e-mail server broke the rules at the depth of state will not affect her white house run. donald trump calls the report a disaster. coming up. real cheese people know how to get big flavor out of each and every itsy, bitsy, little, bitty bite. new sargento snack bites, just 20 calories per stick, with larger than life flavor, like colby- pepper jack
12:12 pm
and savory garlic & herb jack. you can nibble 'em, grab 'em, skewer 'em, pop 'em. you can call 'em big, bold, and brazen. real cheese people know better than to call them mild. new sargento snack bites, big flavor in a little bite.
12:13 pm
...have you tried the tissue test? question, are my teeth yellow? ugh, yellow... what do you use? crest whitestrips crest 3d whitestrips whiten... 25 times better than a leading whitening toothpaste i passed the tissue test. oh yeah. crest whitestrips are the way to whiten think fixing your windshield is a big hassle? not with safelite. this family needed their windshield replaced but they're daughters heart was set on going to the zoo. so guess what, i met them at the zoo. service that fits your schedule. that's another safelite advantage. ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ welcome back. waiting for donald trump's remarks should begin any moment now, live in bismarck. he will be laying out his energy
12:14 pm
policy, which would include more drilling, less regulations, perhaps more jobs for the coal industry. we'll wait and see and take it live. in the meantime, trump says the state department audit of hillary clinton's e-mails shows she has no business running for president. the inspector general report claims clinton broke the rules of her own department when she used her private e-mail server during her time as secretary of state. on twitter today, the billionaire called the whole thing a disaster, saying, quote, such bad judgment and temperment cannot be allowed in the white house elm hillary clinton says the audit will not affect her presidential campaign and points out previous state department officials used personal e-mail as well. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is covering the story and is live in washington. >> reporter: hillary clinton's defense today is the same as a debate with univision in march, that everybody was doing it, all her pred are sos were using
12:15 pm
personal e-mail for official business. >> i made a mistake. it was not prohibited. it was not in any way disallowed, and as i've said and as now has come out, my predecessors did the same thing, and many other people in the government. >> reporter: but this report by the inspector general found that no 0 other secretary of state has a personal server. colin powell used his personal account to e-mail people outside the office, and he also worked with the state department to secure his personal e-mail account. condoleezza rice and mad bin al bright did not use personal e-mail for other government business. >> investigators say that clinton and her aides refused interviews about that. is that true? >> reporter: well, that's what the report found, and the state department says today that mrs. clinton and her team were also not up front about the extent of her personal e-mail use. >> the people who may have had a
12:16 pm
broader knowledge or a fuller appreciation of the extent to which secretary clinton was using her personal e-mail nor long at the department. >> he said reporters would have to ask clinton and her senior aide why they refused these interviews with government investigators because a deep dive on the regulations and an act called the inspector general act of 1978, shows that clinton and her team were required to cooperate and no one is exempt. but on special report the clinton campaign spokeswoman claimed politics and an vector who works for the inspector general who once worked for a run senator. >> reports a few months oak affirming one of the top individuals in the office, the number two official, had a connection -- had formerly worked for senator grassley, who has been one of secretary clinton's chief antagonists. >> reporter: the inspect you're
12:17 pm
general at the state department was nominated by president obama and he was confirmed by a democratic senate. >> catherine herridge, at the thank you very much. we're waiting for donald trump to deliver his policy speech any minute now and as soon as that begins we'll go live, but in the meantime, let's bring in -- what's that? here is donald trump. i apologize. the music is playing in the background. he is supposed to be talking -- laying out his energy policies which would include fracking, horizontal drilling, more jobs for the coal industry, and the keystone pipeline. let's listen in. >> going to be a speech on energy but i have to start off because we love our farmers and we love -- right? do we love our farmers? and we love agriculture so for the farmers out here, you do an
12:18 pm
awfully good job and i've heard that for many years in north dakota. so, hello. now you can fall asleep while we talk about energy. okay? the farmers great. the miners are great. they've been so badly treated and we are going to treat them really well. you'll see. you're going to see. so, before we start, i really want to thank harold hamm, has been a friend of mine. anuccess story and an amazing guy, and i've learned a lot about energy from harold. so, harold -- i've never seen you so happy. when he got up here he became like i'm -- i'm glad i didn't have to run against you, harrell, and the congressman from the beginning was with us. and the governor is in the audience. where is the governor? governor, thank you very much. and your lovely wife. thank you, governor. thank you very much.
12:19 pm
and your entire staff. appreciate your'ing here. i also want to think -- i appreciate your being here. also want to thank the delegates. was coming out of my billing this morning and there was a big news flash that donald trump had won the nomination. and i said, what happened? i thought i had to wait a couple of more weeks, and they said, no, the delegates from your state, right here, you, north dakota -- where are you? where are you? where are my delegates? stand up, please. so, i guess you would call them unbound but now they're bound. so, north dakota brought us -- you brought us over the line, folks, and i will always remember that. i will always remember that. and to me inbound who are now bound, i think you're bound. you prompt missed you're bound,
12:20 pm
everybody? yes, they promise. so, thank you very much. this is a great honor and this was a little bit sooner. we were supposed to be watching hillary clinton and guess what? we're watching hillary clinton. that's the way it works. crooked hillary. [cheers and applause] >> crooked hillary. and that report yesterday, that was a report. let's talk about energy, okay? i'm delighted to be in north dakota, state where really you're at the forefront of a new energy revolution. oil and natural gas production is up significantly in the last decade. our oil imports have literally, frankly, been cut in half. that's something that nobody thought was going to be happening really for a very, very long time. but all of this occurred in spite of a massive new bureaucratic and political
12:21 pm
barrier. president obama has done everything he can to get in the way of american energy for whatever reason. he has made life much more difficult for north dakota as costly regulation -- i mean serious regulation -- makes it harder and harder to turn a profit. if crooked hillary clinton is in charge, things will get much worse, believe me. you've seen it. all you have to do is follow her career. she will shut town energy production across this country. and by the way, she'll also unrelated, abolish the second amendment and we're not going to let that happen. that i can tell you. that i can tell you. and i appreciate last week i got the endorsement of the nra and these are great people, and i appreciate that endorsement.
12:22 pm
millions of jobs and trillions of dollars of wealth will be destroyed as a result. that is why this choice and d -- and this is a very important choice -- november, going to be so, so crucial, and here's what it comes down to. wealth, serious wealth, for people, for workers, for everybody, versus poverty. north dakota shows how energy exploration creates shared prosperity, better schools, more funding for infrastructure, which we really need throughout our country, higher wages, lower unemployment, things we have been missing for a long time. it's a choice between sharing and this great energy wealth or sharing in the poverty promised by hillary clinton. [applause] >> you don't have to take my word for it. just listen to hillary in her
12:23 pm
own words. she has declared war on the american worker. here's what hillary clinton said earlier this year. we are going to put a lot of coalminers and coal companies out of work. [booing] >> bit the way her timing wasn't so good. the following week she went to west virginia and didn't do too well there. but i love the people of west virginia. and i love the people of pennsylvania. they don't like her too much, i can tell you. and if hillary can shut down the mines, she can really shut down our whole country, and your business will be permanently in many cases, permanently ruined. so let me tell you how pressure pressure undermined our crisis and our middle class. the president stated that it was his intent to eliminate oil and natural gas production in america if you can believe this.
12:24 pm
his policy is death by a thousand cuts through an onslaught of regulations. for instance, the environmental protection agency's use of totalitarian tactics, forces energy operators in north dakota into paying unprecedented, multibillion dollar fines before a penalty is even confirmed. which is actually rather hard to believe. government misconduct goes on and on. the department of justice filed a lawsuit against seven north dakota oil companies for the death of 28 births while the administration fast-tracked wind projects that kill more than a million birds a year. far more than a million, i have to tell you. far more. thest fish and wildlife service
12:25 pm
abuses endangered species act to restrict oil and gas exploration. adding to the pain, president obama now proposes a $10 per barrel tax on american produced oil in the middle of a downturn and you have had a downturn, but we did hit $50 today. 'll take credit for that. harold, i want 10%. i want 10%, harold. at least 10%. at the same time, i love you, too, thank you. at the same time, president obama lifts economic sanctions on iran, he imposes economic sanctions on america. he is allowed this country to hit the lowest oil count since 1999, producing thousands of layoffs. thousands. america's incredible energy potential remains untapped. it's totally self-inflicted. it's a wound and it's a wound
12:26 pm
that we have to heal. under my presidency we'll accomplish a complete american energy independence. complete. complete. lots of jobs. lots of jobs. imagine a world in which our foes foes and the oil cartels can in longer use energy as a weapon. be very nice. going to happen. if we win. but we're going to win. we're going to win. but president obama has done everything he can to keep us dependent -- this is so important -- on others. he wants us to be dependent on others. it's different thinking. it's from a whole different school. let me list some of the good energy projects he has killed.
12:27 pm
he rejected the keystone xl pipeline despite the fact it would have created 42,000 jobs. his own state department concluded that it would be the safest pipeline ever built in the united states. and it would have no significant impact on the environment. yet even as he rejected this -- and this is really something because we have that great relationship with canada -- so he rejected the america-canada pipeline, he made a deal that allows iran -- boy, does he make bad deal with iran -- to transport more oil through his its pipelines than would have ever flowed through keystone with not environmental review whatsoever. what are we doing? president obama has done everything he can to kill the coal industry. that we all know. you just ask the people of
12:28 pm
pennsylvania. ask the people of west virginia. look at what happened there it's horrible. here are few of president presit obama's decrees. regulations that shut down hundreds of coal-fired power plants, and block the construction of new ones. how stupid is that. a prohibition against coal production on federal land. draconian climate rules that, unless stopped, would effectively bypass congress to impose job-killing cap and trade. a disaster. president obama has aggressively blocked oil production of oil and national -- you just take a look -- every single move he has made its meant to block the production of spoil natural gas.
12:29 pm
he has taken huge percentages of the alaska petroleum and you take the reserve. he has taken it off the table. completely off the tail. oil and natural gas production on federal land is down 10%, which is pretty hard to believe. 87% of available land in the outer continental shelf has been put off limits. totally. atlantic -- closed down despite the fact they would create -- listen to that's -- 280,000 jobs and $23.5 billion in economic activity. president obama entered the united states into the paris climate accords, unilaterally and without the permission of congress -- this agreement gives foreign bureaucrats control over how much our energy and how much we use right here in america. so foreign bureaucrats are going to be controlling what we're
12:30 pm
using and what we are doing on our land in our country. no way. no way. >> so donald trump laying out the large part of his energy policy claiming that america will reach energy independence under a president trump. carl cameron is standing by live in billings, montana, where trump is set to hold a rally tonight. carl? >> reporter: that was substance you're watching there. donald trump, using teleprompter, rattling off a whole series of policies he believes when it comes to american energy are wrong and as he said over and over again, how stupid can we be? he what a whole series of reforeigns he plans and has been described by republicans and conservatives for years as all of the above strategy. it includes petroleum. that means coal, narl gauze, oil, et cetera, and also includes the rue kneable, whether that's air or hydro,
12:31 pm
solar, et cetera. leaves no stone unturned in order to breck away from foreign oil dependence and become a truly energy-independent country, and one of the things that trump is boasting about is that if he makes the changes, if congress will hip hem and the country goes along with it, it witness u will not only make our energy cheaper but so much profit from it -- he said this earlier -- we can actually start paying down the debt with it, greg. >> carl cameron is live in birlings, montana. carl, thank you very much. here at home, disturbing report on security at the nation's airports. we have a new set of details how often people are getting past fences, gates, supposedly secure areas even runways. and folks in kansas are cleaning up after a tornado stayed on the ground for more than an hour traveling more than 20 miles, and forecasters say the threat isn't over yet. i'm betty white and i'm known for

flying this weekend? why bother standing in long lines to take off you shoes and belt when you can just hop over the fence and barge through the gate. accord ago the "associated press" it happens roughly once every two weeks. the ap reports since 2004 there have been 345 perimeter security breaches at 31 of the nation's busiest airports. that's an average of once every 13 days. during that time, san francisco international topped the list with 41 incidents. the app points out the numbers are on the low end because several airports refuse to give complete information. the ap began the investigation after a 15-year-old climbed over a fence at san jose international airport, hid inside a jet's wheelwell and made it to hawai'i. police say intruders have scaled barbed wire fences, crashing
12:38 pm
cars, one man got into a helicopter cockpit and was about to take off. investigators say some of the people were drunk, delusional, and several were armed. five of them had knives. one had a gun. and while security managed to catch some of the people right away, others took hours, not withstanding all of that, one official said the perimeters are not a, quote, gaping vulnerability, really? they point to miles of fences and gates and guardhouses and the fact that none of the cases involved any sort of nope terrorist plot. that's comforting. pulitzer prize winning writer, martha men doze sacker helped spearhead the investigation and is a rite are foe "associated press." impressive work, martha. it's been a year since you guys first disclosed the problems at airport defenses, and still there are these breaches as
12:39 pm
frequent as ever, and it happens, what, every ten to 13 days? what kind of breaches tell us more about this? >> well, typically people scramble over a fence or they dodge their way through an exit gate, they'll follow vehicles going securely in. they'll follow them on foot. and there's a lot of people who accidentally crash a car into an airport fence and accidentally end up on the secure area as well. >> but it does underscore victories and these are the most -- naturallities and these are breaches. topping the list, san francisco, then las vegas, philadelphia, los angeles, and phoenix. las vegas, martha, put up a razor wire. did that make a difference. >> it did. las vegas airport is not too far from the strip and people sometimes try to cut across
12:40 pm
there like a shortcut and also there's people who are intoxicated driving near the airport with perhaps more frequency. >> having read your report, i was dumbfounded to find that airport officials and tsa officials often times simply deny that a breach is a breach. right? >> well, a year ago they did not. after we published a list of 268 breaches, that changed in some airports, so that at san francisco, for example, they said they had no breaches in 2015, and then we asked them what about the woman would went through the exit gate and tried to wave down a jet on the runway? what about somebody else who crashed through? and -- >> day said those aren't breaches. >> technically they said they were not breaches. >> that's an -- absurd. >> this has been a very frustrating process because we feel like people should understand how many breaches-at each airport, so that congress, and other officials can decide what needs to happen to improve
12:41 pm
the situation, but increasingly we're being told it is a security danger to even tell people about the breaches. even aggregate totals of breaches at airports are considered sensitive and secure information in some cases. >> you talked to an aviation consultant and said the reason wry somebody seems to really be alarmed or care in the federal government, the tsa or airport authorities, because nothing bad has happened yet as a consequence of the breaches. so in other words we're just waiting for something bad to happen before people get off their duffs and do something about it. >> there is this fallback that there's been in no terrorist that has tried to get over a fence or through a gate, and there are other parts of the airport that we know people have gotten through with really horrible intentions. on the other hand, there are people who say, that's all the more reason to address it before something bad happens. >> and real quickly, is there height 'ed concern about an inside worker who could gain
12:42 pm
access to planes? >> that's a heightened concern at the tsa right now because they have had some incidents where people -- workers who have badges were perhaps involved in crimes. so that certainly has been a focus but the big focus is on the passenger screening inside the airport. >> and the long, long lines. i wase one recently at jfk. slapped throughout -- stretched throughout the entire material until perimeter, which is enormous, and only about an hour and a half to two hours. okay. martha mendoza, good to see you. great report. thank you for sharing. >> thanks a lot. >> a we can alert now. crews in kansas cleaning up after massive tornado hit the northern part of the state last night. >> it's time to go! it's time to go! it's getting beggar. oh [bleep]
12:43 pm

my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. he was 34% eastern european. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors we thought was italian was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn't know about. he looks a little bit like me, yes. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com two navy fighter jets crashed off the north carolina coastline, happened roughly 25 miles off the coast of cape hatteras. the feds say civilians in a nearby boat helped the coast guard rescue all four crew members. lea gabrielle is here. former navy pilot who flew fa-18s. the kind of jet involved in today's crash. what do we know? >> the most important thing is that all four survived and that
12:48 pm
according to the coast guard they're all in very high spirits. now, these were two f18 super hornets. the version is a two-seater and we have some video of the coast guard helicopter arriving at the hospital where they were taken after this happened. you can see that the two that you're looking at now were able to actually get on to the gurney themselves and i've seep pictures shalt showed the other two crew members walking off of that helicopter. so it appears they're in good condition. the navy says this is a routine training mission and they're calling this an inflight mishap. the naveis going to conduct a full investigation and said this is a routine training mission. it's important to recognize that what these pilots do is dangerous. and it's worth pointing out at least one of the air crew has a top of experience because he has

a top gun patch. >> i don't know what a miss happen means. >> basically an inflight incident. they're loss of life or aircraft they call it a class a and the air crew goes to the hospital. >> you flew around this very area. let's walk over to the map here. you see the naval air station. talk to us about this. >> as you mentioned naval air station oceana, where this -- squadron is based. there are warning areas that civilians can't fly through without getting interpreter mission because they're missions conducted. if you look where the oregon inlet is to the west, there's a bombing range called navy dare where people can practice with small inert bombs but it sounds as though they were off the coast of oregon inlet here, by 25-miles which means means theye probably conducting air-to-air

operations. it's so important to recognize that for navy pilots, what they do any n training is just as dangerous and sometimes more dangerous than combat. these air combat ma insurgents they may be pointing at each other going 450 miles-per-hour or more and pulling 7 g's plus and do things like practicing formations, flying four feet wing tip to wing tip like the blue angels. >> so it could be either mechanical failure for pilot error? >> the navy would a let's due the full investigation. in my experience, it's more likely than not going to be some sort of a midair collision. if they touched wing tips that it lieu control and they have to get out. >> lea gabrielle, an expert on this, thank you very much.

ever go to a bouncy castle? well, guess what, nasa is billing one up in spice, sort of 0. astronauts testing an inflatable room at the international space station, except when they tried to pump it up, well, things didn't go exactly as planned. phil is live in the south florida newsroom with more. what went wrong? >> reporter: well, quite simply the expandable activity module known as beam did not expand as expected.
12:55 pm
lengthwise, widthwise and the pressurization readings. it's a rarity at the space station when what they're doing doings not go exactly as plan and the inflation stalled after blowing outward only several inches this morning the full expansion was supposed to take 45 minutes, becoming the size of an outer space condo. after a few hours going almost nowhere, nasa and they decide to cancel. this is a two-year test for nasa because this could be the way we get living spaces for astronauts cheaply and easily on far away missions like to mars. the working theory is as soon as we decide to send astronauts to maryland, a six-month journey, before they do that, rockets with these habitats so the astronauts have a place to live when they get there. >> sound like a good idea. phil keating, live in south florida. we'll be back with the look at birth of one the scariest
