12:00 pm
this is our first time on an airplane." passengers say the babies were very good travelers. and thanks for being part of the "real story," here's shepard smith. it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 p.m. in atlantic city, new jersey, where hillary clinton is trying to switch from donald trump to her server. there is no reasonable prosecutor who would bring a case against secretary clinton, but he dismantled a lot of her own excuses. we'll look at the fallout secretary clinton still faces and how donald trump is looking to capitalize on it. plus, the billion air has a headache of his own as some republicans threaten a revolt at the rnc convention. hundreds of delegates looking to deny trump their support. we'll tell you all about their tactics, and how the gop plans to deal with it.
12:01 pm
and in louisiana, a police shooting caught on video. officers recorded killing a man as they wrestled with him on the ground. now, the louisiana governor, the mayor of baton rouge, and the city's police chief are speaking. protest in the streets, the cops pulled from their beats, today, it's a federal investigation. killed by cop in baton rouge. let's get to it. now "shepard smith reporting" live from the fox news desk. >> and first from the desk this wednesday afternoon, the head of the fbi is set to tell lawmakers why hillary clinton was extremely careless, but not criminal with her e-may of stat. republicans in the u.s. congress called the director, james comey, to testify on capitol hill tomorrow. comey, already tore into secretary clinton for sending and receiving classified information on her personal e-mail servers but he quote no
12:02 pm
reasonable prosecutor, unquote, would take the case, and he recommended no criminal charges. even though director comey who is a republican himself, says politics did not play a role in his decisionmaking. some gop lawmakers say the decision is above the law. here's the head of the oversight committee, who called director comey to testify. >> we have a law in this country, and it seems to be violated and want to know why he doesn't want to prosecute that. is there a different standard for hillary clinton than there is for, you know, your average joe, who is working in the government? >> director comey insists it's the same standard, and so far hillary clinton has not responded to the recommendation not to prosecute. a campaign spokesman says secretary clinton knows she made a mistake and she considers the issue resolved. but even without any charges, analysts say the controversy selikely to continue, maybe until election day. the fbi struck down several of secretary clinton's claims about
12:03 pm
the e-mails. according to director comey, more than 100 e-mails clinton center or received contained information that was classified when the e-mails were sent and received. but he also says, investigators uncovered thousands of deleted work e-mails that were never turned over to the state department. director comey also knocked down hillary clinton's explanation for using a personal server in the first place. clinton claims she wanted to use only one smart phone out of convenience, but the fbi director says she accessed e-mail on several different devices while she was secretary of state. despite all of the damning claims from the fbi, director comey says no criminal charges are appropriate. now, clinton's republican critics are demanding to know more. kathryn harris is live in washington this afternoon. what do we know about these hearings? >> reporter: in addition, the republican chairman of the house and senate judiciary committees
12:04 pm
for direct responsibility for the fbi are calling on director comey to make the evidence public. senator grasply issuing the statement last night that reads in part quote even director comey said there should be extra ordinarily transparently, meaning giving the public a brief summary of the facts, and should include the actual evidence so the public can make an educated decision on its own about the judgment and decision-making of all the senior officials involved. a short time ago, the house minority, told fox news it's not a surprise the rbs aepublicans asking clinton to testify. he would not say the hearing is a political stunt, but he did say it is a political move. >> and what about this talk of blocking hillary clinton's security clearances? >> well, earlier today, the house speaker said the nation's top intelligence director, james clapper, should consider blocking clinton's access to classified information, given
12:05 pm
comey's excessmetestimony. >> it's part of a transitioned government. with no indictment occurring but a discussion or call for administrative action, i think it's the least we can do, given how she was so reckless in sending and receiving classified information on unsecured servers. >> john earnest did not directly address the issue and said the matter is with the justice department and it's not his job to weigh in on the security clearances of a future administration. >> i'm not going to render any judgment on that, primarily because it is the -- these are the findings and recommendations of the fbi based on their -- the investigation they have been conducting. the findings and recommendations of that investigation are still being considered by prosecutors of the department of justice.
12:06 pm
>> two final points, it's standard practice if someone is a security clearance holder even if there's an allegation that classified information is mishandled for that clearance to be suspended. that has not happened with any of clinton's aides, they've maintained their clearances, and said people in your administration who have resigned for much less, even minor -- relatively minor breaches into government networks and could not square the argument based on clinton's alleged or found activities by the fbi. >> kathryn harris in washington, thank you, kathryn. let's bring in andy linsky, thank you. >> politically, where are we now? >> look, i think that you know, at the end of the day here, what comey really did deliver the clinton campaign is an enormous gift. you know, the gift is that she is not -- we're not talking about an indictment, and criminal charges and at this
12:07 pm
point, that is what would have halted her campaign and made it extra ordinarily complicated. the other sort of subgift, if you will that comey gave her, is the timing of this. you know, this announcement comes out after the primaries are over, when bernie sanders is not going to make hay about it, and before convention. so, sure, it does halt momentum and we're all talking about it this week, but people are not paying a lot of attention to the details. now, the details are pretty ugly, so for your viewers, who are paying attention, and people who care about this, these details are awful, but the large majority of people, because of the timing on this, this july week, aren't going to be listening to anything other than the headline which is no criminal despite. >> annie from the beginning, several supporters said there were gifts for both sides, specifically, the early talk was, annie, and is true in my covering of prosecutors.
12:08 pm
often prosecutors say there is enough to move forward, or there isn't enough to move forward, i recommend no, and leave it at that. in this case, there were no specifics and i heard that was maybe a gift to the people. >> reporter: yeah, i think that is one way comey's argument has been described as -- he's saying, look, you know, the people get to decide because they get to vote in november, and i think that makes a lot of sense, but it does mean people need to pay attention and watch that 15-minute speech essentially that he gave. and it wouldn't surprise me if it's played in its entire at the rnc convention, because it was that gripping -- and he dead in such a clear as a matter of fact way, that he built this pretty convincing case, particularly on the idea that her -- this top secret information on her server may have been accessed by, what he described as foreign -- or
12:09 pm
h hostile actors. the headline is still no indictment, and the headline is still, her campaign continues and lives another day. >> what are you expecting tomorrow, hearing on capitol hill? >> you know, i think tomorrow, it's beginning to launch into a little bit more of the posturing. i mean, you know, this is -- you know, looking into these details that if you care about it and you're paying attention, i can't imagine we're going to learn a lot more new information from comey. but he's so good in these circumstances. you know, he was on the capitol hill a few years ago and testified in some gripping details about his experience with attorney general ashcraft, and andy card ien, and he's abl to tell these wonderful stories and he's a good performer so that will be something we'll all focus on. i can't imagine there's going to be anything out of that that's going to substantially change the narrative that was
12:10 pm
established yesterday. >> annie linsky, great to see you. >> good to see you. >> and if the narrative is not going your way, especially in politics, you try to change it. yesterday, what went down then, the president and the wanna be president went on a trip together and held a campaign rally. today, hillary clinton goes to atlantic city. she claims that donald trump would bankrupt america as president, the same way he bankrupted his casino empire, when he racked up enormous debt, and refused pay them. she made the comment, while blasting his record, where trump once owned several casinos. secretary clinton spoke in front of trump2014. >> when this casino collapsed because of how badly he managed it, hundreds of people lost their jobs. shareholders were wiped out,
12:11 pm
lenders lost money, contractors, many of them small businesses, took heavy losses and many themselves went bust. but donald trump, he walked away with millions. >> donald trump attacked hillary clinton on twitter ahead of that speech, and blamed local democrats for atlantic city's money problems and he tweeted i quote, i made a lot of money in atlantic city and left seven years ago. great timing as all know. pols, politicians made big mistakes, now many bankruptcies. hillary clinton should ask why he goes on to say, the democrat paul in atlantic city made all the wrong moves. convention center, airport, and destroyed the city. jennifer griffin is live in atlantic city. jennifer? >> reporter: well, shepard, this was perfect political stage craft on the atlantic city boardwa boardwalk. secretary clinton did not answer repeated questions from the
12:12 pm
traveling press who were with her today about the fbi investigation, about comey's remarks, about her e-mail server, but she did make the case against donald trump's four bankruptcies here in atlantic city. >> here's what he says about the whole experience. he actually brags about it. atlantic city was a very good cash cow for me for a long time. the money i took out of there was incredible. think about it, the money he took out of here. that says everything you need to know about donald trump. it's not about what he can build. it's about how much he can take. >> reporter: she brought on stage marty rosenburg who is a long time resident here in atlantic city. he was one of hundreds of contractors who never got paid by donald trump. he says he lost $500,000, and
12:13 pm
walked to the taj mahal, where there were workers where trump used to work, it's now owned by a political ally. >> donald trump blasting hillary clinton in what he calls a rigged system that, quote, let her off the hook in the e-mail controversy. his side of the story coming up with campaign carl cameron, that's next on fox news channel.
12:16 pm
politics coverage continues, and donald trump says hillary clinton put the entire country in darvenger by using a private e-mail server while she was secretary of state. the presumptive nomly blasted the recommendation not to pursue charges during a rally in north carolina last night. trump said clinton rigged the system, and even suggested that she bribed the u.s. attorney general, loretta lynch. the billionaire businessman did not back down onn twitter tweeting quote hillary clinton lied to the fbi and to the people of our country, she is soo guilty, but watch, her time will come. campaign carl cameron is live in cincinnati where trump is said to hold a rally. senator bob corker, and it seems after his appearance yesterday, he's no longer wanting to be in consideration for the vice presidential nod. >> that's true. >> reporter: he's the chairman
12:17 pm
of the powerful senate relations committee so he offers a lot of the skill sets donald trump might use as a vice president nomin nominee, and after the roally, mr. corker let him know he wasn't interested in being his running mate that. doesn't mean trump doesn't have a lot of other choices. he said today he's got about ten picks, and one of them will be on stage with him tonight, former house speaker, newt gingrich, who, today, was with trump in new york, and trump has been very, very pleased with his relationship with newt gingrich. gingrich, the former house speaker, worked with and against then-president bill clinton back in the '90s, and there's also the story of jodi ernst, the only woman he's been considering, and she's let him
12:18 pm
know she likes where she's at in the u.s. senate, and is probably falling off the list of her own volition, as well. trump has also made it clear while he's been looking at a couple generals, military men, he really wants somebody on the political side, somebody who can help him with the legislative mechanics of capitol hill, getting bills passed, getting things done, cracking the gridlock, and democrats are amused by that because they see somebody that has to be stopped. it's the republicans trying to find a running mate and a couple people taking themselves out of play, but the governor of new jersey, chris christie, being vetted, very interested, and mike pence, still very much in play and looking to see if they can't get a seat on that ticket, shep. >> it is rare to hear praise for sad am husbasein how is that flying?
12:19 pm
>> reporter: it's not rare to hear that from donald trump. he's more than once said the kind of thing at the rally in yesterday, when he said that, sadam hussein was a good guy, and was really good at quote killing terrorists, did it so oh, good, and when hussein was the dictator and president of iraq, the nation of iraq was on the state department's list of state-sponsored terrorist organizations. back in the '80s, he was known to shot scud missiles, and he was accused and there's lots of evidence to suggest he used chemical weapons on his own people. house speaker ryan pretty much rebeautizati for his remarks. >> he was one of the worst people and committed mass genocide, using chemical weapons. sadam hussein was a bad guy. >> reporter: that was of course last night with paul ryan.
12:20 pm
shortly minutes after donald trump made those remarks. trump continues to make controversial statements and defend them. he, today, has been really pounding back at hillary clinton who came at him in atlantic city and trump's argument was she needs to talk to the democratic politicians who trump says pretty much spoiled the economy and drove the ac into a ditch. >> carl cameron live for us, thank you. with the republican national convention just weeks away, a growing number of gop delegates are trying to aust the preitemtipreite presumptive nominee, and one perhaps suing donald trump, to vote for anybody but trump. we'll tell you what happened to one cabdriver and what he did when he discovered $187,000 stuffed in a backpack. details on that ahead on ""shepard smith reporting." you focus on making great burgers, or building the best houses in town. or becoming the next highly-unlikely dotcom superstar.

some gop delegates are trying to takedown donald trump. with less than two weeks ago before the start of the republican national convention, one of the major groups leading this charge is called free the delegates. that group is trying to make it such that delegates can vote for whomever they want instead of being bound to the results of their primary or caucus. take the state of virginia, one republican delegate there has filed a lawsuit over the issue, because under virginia law, delegates must vote for the candidate who got the most votes in the primary. that is trump. in arizona, some other delegates are stepping down, rather than vote for the presumptive nominee, and that's not all. alicia akuna with the rest, live from denver. hello, alicia. >> reporter: some 400 delegates decided to take this fight to the floor and for saying they're being bullied by their state party leaders including jared
12:25 pm
white who accuses the state chair of threatening delegates and forcing them to sign a pledge to support the primary winner. >> you know, it's a funny thing, when a pledge is presented to somebody, and they're told to sign it, under threat and coercion, is that a pledge at all? what's the pledge really -- if they say you have to sign this or we're goodbing to rip your credentials. >> and arizona chair robert graham doesn't deny it and say the delegates had a chance to change their rules at the state convention. >> it was a unanimous vote, there were no nay sayers, and guess what the rules are, they needed to sign the pledge to participate in this election. >> reporter: donald trump, shep, says the voters have spoken, shep? >> any word on what trump and the rnc are trying to do about this? >> reporter: right. publicly, the rnc and trump camp say this is outside the rules of
12:26 pm
the convention, but behind the scenes, the delegates we talked to, say they are being called and pressured by both. but, there are many more delegates supporting trump than not. one even wrote a letter to republicans to get on board. ultimately, it would require a change in the rules to allow delegates to free themselves. last night, bill crystal, editor of the weekly standard, joined a conference call to encowurage te challenge the convention floor. >> i think we're on the right side of history, as well as rejecting someone who shouldn't be the nominee of the republican party. >> reporter: organizers do admit this is an up hill battle, and legal experts agree. >> reporter: alicia acun alive in our rocky mountain newsroom. ever leave something in a taxi? maybe your cell phone or house keys? you know that feeling when you realize whatever it was, whatever is worth to you, it's gone. what if you, oops, left

12:28 pm
>> is it time for judging? >> a little bit. >> so, he left $187,000 in the back seat, the cabby return today and gave him $100? >> yes. he said his girlfriend is a little annoyed with him. >> a little miffed. i've gotten stuff from other passengers but never from the cabby himself. >> i've had pretty good luck. >> nice to see you, thank you. ahead, remember the planned overhaul the healthcare system for veterans after all the talk of long waiting times and all that? today we're going to find out how that's done, spoiler alerts, not well. you'll hear about the problems that remain to fix that plan and topping the news at the bottom of the hour, shot by cop in baton rouge, the investigation in the fallout next.

but first, president obama came in vowing to end the wars in iraq and afghanistan, but announced plans to leave more troops in afghanistan than predicted. troops who will be there when his term returns out. president obama says the u.s. will keep about 8,400 of our men and women in afghanistan beyond this year. the president's initial goal was to get that town to 5,500. there are currently 9,800 on the ground. the president says, afghan forces have made progress fighting the taliban on their own, but they're still working to improve when it comes to logistics, intelligence and other capabilities. >> the decision i'm making today ensures my successor has a solid foundation for continued progress in afghanistan, as well as the flexibility to address the threat of terrorism as it evolves. >> the war in afghanistan is already the longest war. more than 2,200 u.s. service members have died, and wounded.
12:35 pm
and all of these years later, the afghans apparently are still not able to do this on their own. the veteran affairs department, still has quote profound deficiencies providing medical care to our military men and women two years after that huge scandal over long delays and secret wait lines. that's according to a new report that's out from congress. in it, the writers claim the va's healthcare operations require urgent reform, and that's a quote. president obama says the report contains specific proposals that he will review in the coming weeks. our chief correspondent jonathan hunt with more. what else was in the report, jonathan? >> reporter: shep, the main concern the commissioners express here is still the ability of vets to get alternative care if a va doctor can't see them quickly enough. now, wait times have improved but in many cases, according to critics, they are still far too long.
12:36 pm
we spoke today to darren celnik of concerned veterans for america, who told us the story of a friend of his, an army vet, who had to wait eight months for needed tests, and then suddenly collapsed in the er. listen here. >> and they said no you have stage four cancer now. if he had the test eight months previously when they had been ordered he probably would have had stage one cancer been alive today. >> now, there have been attempts to get veterans the ability to see other doctors if va doctors aren't available, called the choice program, but the basic conclusion of the commission, shep shep, is that program simply isn't working well enough, shep. >> any response from the va, jonathan? >> va secretary bob mcdonald said things are improving. for instance, he said that there were a record number of appointments within the v adva,t in march of this year and wait times are improving greatly.
12:37 pm
josh earnest, the white house spokesman said that work is continuing but nobody in the administration will be happy until it is complete. that echos a statement from president obama late last night, shep, in which he said, quote, our veterans deserve nothing less for their sacrifices and their service. shep? >> jonathan hunt live, thank you. syria's government declaring a three day ceasefire for the entire country as muslims mark the holy month of ramadan. state media says the truce begins today, set to last until friday local time. no word on whether the rebels fighting against the dictator, are planning lay down their weapons, and it's unfair whether this affects the syrian operations against isis terrorists. a previous ceasefire that u.s. and russia brokered back in february never really took hold at all. it's estimated hundreds of thousands of people have died in the country's civil war since
12:38 pm
fighting broke out in 2011. islamic state terrorists are auctioning young women and girls using smart phone apps according to a reporting of the associated press, which apparently obtained some listings for slaves. the posts appeared in encrypted conversations between isis followers on various apps, and the details are at very minimum distu disturbing. one listing asks for money for a young girl and it reads as follows, virgin, beautiful, 12 years old, her price has reached $12,500 and she will be sold soon. that post appears alongside ads for kittens and weapons. another listing asks for thousands of dollars in exchange for a mother, a 3-year-old, and a 7-month-old baby. leah gabriel is here. what more do we know about these girls? >> reporter: shep, according to the associated press, about 3,000 are being held as sex
12:39 pm
slaves. most were captured in 2014 when their villages were overrun and they were taken captive. this 18-year-old girl was passed from militant, to militant, beaten and raped by all of them for more than a year. she managed to escape after multiple attempts, but at a cost. her captors were chasing her and a land mine exploded, burning her face and blinding her right eye. she told the associated press even if i lost both eyes it would have been worth it because i have survived them, and shep, there were two other girls who were trying to escape who were also killed in that land mine blast. >> and we're hearing it's been a lot harder for women and girls to escape. >> that's right, shep, you mentioned that smart phone apps are being used to sell and trade these girls and these women. smart phones are also being used by militants to actually keep records of them. the associated press obtained this photo the islamic state took of an a woman on a slave
12:40 pm
database. every slave is registered so if they manage to escape they'll be recognized at isis checkpoints and the leader of a nonprofit group told me the woman, when they were first captured, were categorized by their age and their attractiveness. somewhere gifts and others were sold. >> after having intercourse for them for one month they would switch. they were allowed to switch among themselves, and also those were the princess or the leaders within the cells in isis. they allowed to get them for free, and switch them whenever they wanted to. >> he said some women who refused have sex were burned and others committed suicide, and shep, in the past, the kurdish regional government helped families pay for smugglers get that money back but that money has dried up and isis has been targeting these smuggling groups so it's much harder to get away. >> it's hard to read it all, much less imagine what they're
