landon. that's one of the pictures you'll see that's been in the middle of the book. i'll be at the villages tomorrow from 1:00 to 3:00 in floor. come see me. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 p.m. in washington. we now learned the pentagon warned michael flynn took money from sources. the white house did it anyway. the fallout for flynn coming up. show down on healthcare. republicans' plan picking up steam in the house. does it have any chance in the senate? the proposed changes and how it could affect your coverage. taking care of american veterans. a new push to help wounded vets get better care and to get rid of v.a. staffers that don't cut it. the shakeup that could change the way you use the internet forever.

let's get to it. >> good thursday afternoon from the fox news deck. president trump's former national security adviser michael flynn and the hundreds of thousands he received from foreign governments and groups, especially turkey and russia. according to new released documents, pentagon officials warned general flynn years ago when he tired from the military about going through the proper channels before accepting payment. from a defense agency letter to flynn in 2014, if you were ever in a position to receive a fee from a foreign government or from an entity, that might be controlled by a foreign government, be sure to obtain advanced approval from the army prior to acceptance. flynn's lawyer a couple days ago, said his client followed all the appropriate procedures for accepting foreign funds, specifically when he met with vladimir putin in moscow a couple years ago. but he didn't.

during that trip, flynn made $45,000 at an event hosted by r.t. he also reportedly received payments for speeches he gave to a couple of russian firms. officials from the intelligence agency said they found no record of payment and no evidence that general flynn ever got advanced approval. in a letter to the house oversight committee, officials wrote dia did not locate any records referring to or relating to general flynn's receipt of money from a foreign source. also, d.i.a. did not locate any records of lieutenant general flynn seeking permission or approval from receipt of money from a foreign source. no record of the payment. if flynn applied to renew his security clearance in 2016. president trump fired michael flynn in february of this year, not even into a month in his role as national security adviser. that came as he lied about meetings with the russian

ambassador. as for security clearance today hearing it from sean spicer, it sounds like the white house didn't vet him at all. >> every individual that came into this white house applied for a security clearance or had one. everybody in the government goes through the ss 86 process. every single person. so why would you rerun a background check on someone that is the head of the department of defense intelligence agency that had and did maintain a high level of security clearance. >> shepard: because he wasn't any just old job applicant. spicer says they didn't vet him. spicer's comment comes after the ranking member of the house oversight committee, the democrat elijah cummings once again suggested the white house is hiding something. >> look, general flynn served in his position for 24 days. so that excuse from the white house will not fly. i do not understand why the white house is covering up for

michael flynn. i don't get it. after the president fired him for lying. >> shepard: that we don't yet know. we also learned today the dedepartment inspector general launched an investigation to determine if flynn violated regulations or broke the law. the white house says it welcomes that investigation. the republican chairman, jason cha chafetts asked for more information. catherine herridge has more. catherine, what else did we hear from congressman cummings today? >> shepard, on the house side, the democrats released these three sets of documents. the critical documents is the 2014 letter to michael flynn saying you have to get approval in advance and the ranking democrats say it didn't happen.

>> this letter warned general flynn as he entered retirement that the constitution prohibited him from accepting any foreign government payments without advanced permission. the pentagon's warming to general flynn was bold and could not have been clearer. >> democrats told reporters this morning that the second document did not show any evidence that flynn had declared this meeting in moscow in december 2015 where he went to celebrate the tenth anniversary of russia today which critics say is the propaganda arm of the russian government and had the famous meeting and dinner with vladimir putin. if you think back to tuesday, shepard, when we first reported the story and about flynn's lawyers' comments, we talked about how the language had been selected very carefully. now that seems to have been the

case. he said that flynn had discussed with the defense intelligence agency going to the russia today event and made no mention of the money. we see where it's brought us to today, shep. >> shepard: the idea is if you're going to be this close to the president of the united states, they want to know your foreign contacts, whether some foreign entity might have sway over you. whether you're in the bag for someone else. that's why normally they vet people. who kind of laws are we talking about here that are in question? >> okay. there's two issues here for michael flynn going forward. number 1, is whether he lied to federal authorities when he had his security clearance renewed in 2016. that's the ss 86 form that sean spicer was talking about. if you make -- if you lie on that statement, that would be a potential violation of this 18 usc, 1001 which prohibits you

from lying to the federal government or to federal agents. that can have a felony conviction and up to five years in prison. the second element of potential legal jeopardy for flynn is this inspector general's investigation that's not been confirmed by the defense department into his foreign contacts and whether he heeded the warnings not to accept these foreign payments. now, just for a little bit of context. those that support flynn say he had a series of bad judgments and errors, but they don't think it amounts to treason, which is what democrats seem to suggest. >> shepard: catherine herridge, good to see you. thank you. john roberts has the white house angle. he's live on the north lawn. elijah cummings says look, they don't appear to be cooperating. how do they respond? >> stone-walling, covering up, whatever language you want to use. the white house is glad that the president fired michael flynn when he did because if he hadn't

gotten rid of him on february 13th, he likely would have had to fire h two more times since then given everything that has come out. the white house insists there was no need to investigate flynn for security clearance when he became the national security adviser. he had the clearance for years, one that was reinvestigated as revealed today through the obama administration. that was after he appeared in russia and was paid $45,000 for attending that gala that was put on by the kremlin-backed media giant r.t. in russia. the question is when the security clearance was re-upped, did it flynn disclose his payments from a dutch company that was representing turkish interests that flynn did consulting for. sean spicer said he believed the department of defense in investigating flynn is taking a

a -- appropriate action. listen here. >> we welcome the investigation. but all of that clearance was made during the obama administration and apparently with knowledge of the trip that he took. so that's how the process works. i welcome the department of defense's review. >> i've done some poking around. here's something that i've learned that is the definitive word. people said when he was named the national security adviser, didn't he need to fill out a standard form 86s and get a new security clearance. the answer to that question is no. he did not need to fill out a new ss-86. he had that existing clearance. i will point out, shep, used to be different. when you moved around from job to job in the government, you on occasion had to fill out a new security clearance form. i don't know if it's because of budget cuts or whatever, or maybe they streamlined the

system, integration with computer but you no long very to do that. what it does speak to is a potential vetting problem at the trump transition where they said okay, you have a security clearance but let sit you down as the white house counsel's did with flynn after all of this came to light and hit him with a barrage of questions and put him through what is called a murder board to make sure there is nothing out there that could come up and embarrass the administration. >> shepard: and they didn't catch it. >> they didn't. they didn't put him through the process. >> shepard: the white house says they're confident that house republicans are getting close to voting on a healthcare bill. that's what the white house says. moderate republicans and the senate say they're not on board with the new changes. white house press secretary sean spicer says president trump wants a vote as soon as possible. the timing is still up to the house. earlier today, speaker ryan said he will not hold a vote until it's clear there's enough support. they don't have the votes today, so they're not voting in the first 100 days.

remember, party leaders pulled the original bill last month because so many republicans were voting against it. but as we reported here, the head of the freedom caucus and the tuesday group, so the conservatives and more moderates have proposed a new amendment. here's the change. it would let states choose not to provide so-called essential service benefits or essential health benefits. some conservatives are calling it a big improvement at least from a federal standpoint. they say the amendment will help lower healthcare costs. moderates against the first bill say really nothing has changed. they say this new amendment could cause people to lose coverage. they also say it would let insurers charge higher rateds to people seriously ill. today the house minority leader nancy pelosi said the revised republican plan is more cruel and costly. john roberts at the white house. the white house wants a vote as

soon as possible but they don't have the votes. >> exactly. they say when they get to 216 on the whip count, they will call a vote. what i'm being told is that a vote will come later on today to set the rules nor consideration of the healthcare bill. spent time with mark short. he's the director of legislative affairs here at the white house. he says he believes they have 80% of the freedom caucus on board. the freedom caucus as a rule, shep -- this isn't in all cases, but is in a lot of cases, that when 80% agrees, it's unanimous. so maybe that's why mark short was saying they have 80% of the people on board. they could get a vote as early as tomorrow, maybe saturday. certainly next week is looking very good for a vote. here's what sean spicer said at the briefing a short time ago. >> we feel positive about the work that's being done to get to that and the reaction we're having. as you recall, a lot of membered that initially had some problems and were very pleased with the reaction, the public reaction that they're having to what is

currently been negotiated. >> keep in mind this is all very important for president trump. the assumptions in his tax reform plan are all based on getting the trillion dollar tax benefit out of repeal and replate of obamacare. if they don't get the healthcare reform through, they have to go back to the drawing board on tax reform. >> shepard: governing is hard. john roberts from the north lawn. president trump explaining why he's not withdrawing the united states from nafta as he promised he would do. during a meeting with argentina's president, the president said he was planning to terminate nafta but the leaders from mexico and canada hit him up. >> i like both of these gentlemen very much. they called me. they said rather than terminating nafta, could you please renegotiate. i like them very much, respect their countries very much and the relationship is special.

i said i will hold on the termination. let's see if we can make it a fair deal. >> there you go. as a candidate trump bashed nafta and called at this time greatest disaster trade deal in the history of the world. president trump today said the deal favors mexico and canada, but said it would be simpler to renegotiation than to withdraw. membexico signed the green in 1. it got rid of most tariffs on trade. nafta is blamed for u.s. manufacturing job losses because critics say we import more goods from the countries than we make here. but others say nafta added millions of jobs in the united states without question. ahead, a closer look at the fight over healthcare. if a bill gets through the house, the senate could make some important changes, including on medicaid and tax credit. a big opportunity. that's coming up from the fox news deck on this thursday afternoon.

you need one of these. you wouldn't put up with an umbrella that covers you part way, so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. tell you what, i'll give it to you for half off. >> shepard: more on the house republicans push to pass the healthcare bill. they made changes to win over conservatives. as is often the case, that may cost them more moderate votes. anna palmer is here. she's a senior washington correspondent for politico. john roberts is reporting that the white house thinks next week looks good for the vote. they may have the votes. if they don't have them now what will they do to have them then? >> it's unclear what they're

trying to do here. remember, when they had to pull the bill a couple weeks ago, the white house said they had the votes then. so they're trying to get moderates on board with this. it's unclear if paul ryan is going to have the juice to get that done. so far, they aren't going to put a bill on the floor that will fail. that's why we haven't seen it come up for a vote yet. >> shepard: i talked to a couple people and said the important thing for the administration is to have the narrative so that his base says he's trying. later they can blame obama or they can blame congress. if you blame your own party, you risk alienating them on other very important votes, don't you? >> i think that's why you've seen them try to stay positive. you've seen sean spicer pivot in terms of having more of an open-ended discussion. they have a lot of things to get done. tax reform is big. they want to try to do it.

and they have to fund the government. right now they have in one-week c.r., funding stop gap bill that looks like it's going through. in terms of going against republicans right now, but for donald trump is probably not going to be an effective strategy. >> we all watched "school house rock." if you get it out of the house, it's got to get to the senate. everything from the senate, there's no deal. >> this has been a very house-driven process right now. certainly you'll see senate republicans want to put their mark on this bill. particularly the more conservative measures, they'll see a step back on that. >> shepard: a step back on that. what -- does that mean people that are relying on medicaid won't have the medicaid they're relying on like older people have been using medicaid to get -- keep themselves alive? >> i think what you'll see is senate republicans look to try

to make those cuts less than they are from the house bill. i think you'll see more funding for opioids and abuse. rand paul and others that have come forward saying they don't want to give any taxpayer money. so that's the other friction that you'll have. moderates trying to push for some of these things to be less severe but conservatives will try to push their narrative as well. >> anna palmer, thank you. breaking news! remember the doctor dragged off the united fight? seems they worked that out. they reached an amicable settlement, he and the airline. we'll break down the case with mercedes coming up. have a nice day. plus, the crisis with north korea. a very real and very bad. that's a quote from the commander that oversees our

forces in the region. he's working about kim jong-un. and vladimir putin's brand new base in the arctic. the strategy behind this. what is at stake? that's coming up. it's time for the can-am spring fever sales event. get a cash rebate of up to $3,000 on selected models. or get the outlander l, starting at $5,499. visit your local dealer for details. can-am. the ride says it all. he's told that joke a million times. and you always laugh like you're hearing it for the first time. at lincoln financial,

tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

>> shepard: the crisis with north korea is deepening. the man overseeing operations in the pacific says the situation is worse than he's seen it. harry harris spoke to lawmakers about the challenges of dealing with north korea and kim jong-un. >> i think the crisis on the korean peninsula is real, it's the worth i've seen. it seems that we're faced with a threat and a leader who is intent on achieving his goal

and -- of a nuclear capability against the united states. >> shepard: just yesterday the admiral told congress if it flies, it will die. talking about any missiles that north korea might fire at the united states forces. the admiral says the missile defense system should be up and running in days. here u.s. soldiers installing it at a golf court. the system can shoot down ballistic missiles, the kind that north korea might fire. the north koreans are not backing down. they have just released a new propaganda video with images depicting them blowing up the united states capitol. jennifer griffin has this from the pentagon. jen? >> shep, remember the north koreans don't have a ballistic missile that can reach the united states. all eyes today were on the top u.s. commander for the pacific, admiral harry harris that told the senate armed services committee it's no longer a

matter of if but when north korea will place a nuclear warhead on top of a ballistic missile that can reach the u.s. harris said north korea has threatened u.s. cities and australia this week. he's not afraid of failing in terms of missile tills and developing a nuclear-tipped missile. >> make no mistake, kim jong-un is making progress on his quest for nuclear weapon and a means to deliver them inter nine -- intercontinentally. >> admiral harris is pushing to establish a u.s. missile defense system to protect hawaii which he believes is vulnerable to a strike in the future. >> shepard: we're learning about a state of the art russian

military base in the arctic. the russians say they can perform service and combat tasks in the arctic, this is very controversial. look at this building. they call at this time arctic tree foil. you can see the three point here. and look here. a ground shot. russian defense officials say the entire thing is on thousands of square miles. inside, they say it can hold 150 people at a time and basically live there. here's another picture from inside. using a fish-eye lens. our favorite one -- remember, these are russian defense-issued photographs of their base in the arctic. we all love puppies. so if you want a controversial base and send out pictures, add puppies. people will like it more. the russians are hard to predict but they're not crazy.

top secret facility includes theaters an concert halls. the russians released another photo. the dogs. because the dogs. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. aside from the dogs, this is somewhat controversial. >> shepard, usually the russians are secretive. but this new base is being advertised by the russian defense ministry with the interactive tour on the ministry's website. it's 14,000 square miles, the polar complex can house 150 troops in subzero conditions for 18 months. recent photos showed armed russian troops riding reindeer. >> i believe the united states is behind. we've made great strides the last five or six years. we're still woe fully behind. the united states, we have our minds on a lot of other things around the world. we're not focused on the arctic.

>> admiral robert papp, the representative for the arctic. warns vladimir putin is positioning himself to claim the oil and gas reserves. larger than those of saudi arabia and the control future sea lanes. recently chinese research rest sells have been seen in the arctic to explore new sea routes. >> the sea routes are opening. you know, president putin himself has said the arctic is going to be the new suez canal. >> that's alaska senator dan sullivan who points out that the russian military has 40 icebreakers. the u.s. only has two and one is broken, shep. >> jennifer griffin, thank you. david dao airlines. has a ring to it. but it's not true that united will be changing their name to that. however, we have breaking news. united and dr. david dao have

come to an agreement. the details are next.

>> i'm lea gabrielle with a fox report. the pentagon reports two american service members have died fighting terrorist in afghanistan. the military has not identified the troops. officials say it happened in the same providence where the u.s. dropped the mother of all bombs two weeks ago. an accused cop killer is dead in delaware. police say they took down the suspect after a 20-hour standoff. it happened southwest of wilmington. cops shot a state trooper that approached his car yesterday. police say the gunman barricaded himself in the home and walked out and engaged officers and shot himself dead. check this out. >> holy cow! oh, my gosh! >> roadworkers on the run as a mudslide clothes in on the northern california.

crews have just cleared the road after earlier slides. no reports of injuries. parts of california got record-setting rain this wonder. we'll be right back.

>> shepard: now the breaking news. united airlines has reached a settlement with a passenger they drug off. there was like five iphones on it and all on portrait. nobody on landscape. come on! united bumped the doctor. when he refused to go -- oh, my god. kind of like that. the lawyers say they gave him a concussion and broke his nose and shattered his teeth in the process. so what did he get? mercedes colvin is here. his attorney released a statement saying --

>> shepard: this comes on the same day the airline announced new rules for bumped passenger. they can get up to $10,000 in compensation. they promised to take displaced passengers to nearby airports if possible. hopefully they won't be knocking more time out or breaking noses. mercedes colvin is here. this was a disaster. >> oh, my goodness! because everything gets recorded now. if you do anything in public, it will be recorded. may go viral. >> shepard: you shouldn't break people's teeth and noses. >> exactly. >> shepard: we don't know how much money he got. >> i'm sure its eight figures.

the stock just tanked. if you look at the polls coming out most say they don't want to fly them. >> shepard: they haven't recovered fully but the stock is coming back. it's not -- it's so often not what happens but what you do about it of the wards. they owned it. they're owning it. >> how many days went by? it was awhile. i love that you quoted. "we have to reaccommodate this passenger." for breaking his news, giving him a concussion. that's reaccommodation. >> shepard: and that was to get their own employees on the flight. >> that's what they said. why don't you rent a car? it was a four-hour drive. don't stick him in the plane. get them a car and let them drive there. >> it's been the complaint of

passengers that the airlines are forget ing who they're saving and paying their bills. >> sure, bump me off. $10,000. >> shepard: i'm people fly a lot. i'm guessing they'll have sick days. that would be crazy. you can do christmas with one bumped flight. >> shepard: easy. >> united has settled. how much? maybe something will leak it. thank you. republican house leaders meeting with moderate lawmakers trying to flip some undecided votes. one moderate republican tells fox news that party leaders have given up trying to get them to vote yes. that's dan donovan of new york. he said this new amendment to the bill doesn't do anything to address cuts to medicaid. cuts which has caused low income people to lose their health care coverage altogether. earlier today paul ryan responded to critics that say the new version lets states opt

out of providing so-called essential health benefits. >> the state would have to find a waiver for essential health benefits. so if anything, this puts more federal protections in on pre-existing conditions. >> shepard: that's quite a thing. democrats criticizing the state waivers. nancy pelosi said they would make coverage for those with pre-existing conditions astronomical. he said that the president is trying to rush the bill through and making fools of party members. >> he's asking them to vote for a bill that is wildly unpopular in the country, the wrong thing to do first and foremost. it will be doo-do. stuck to their shoe. >> shepard: what did she say? even if the house republicans get the votes, there's no guarantee it will get through the senate.

peter doocy is live with more. >> conservatives are backing it but they're having a hard time bringing moderates on. sounds like the conservative pitch is just as they mostly like the bill because they think it can pass. >> this is the best bill that can get out of the house of representatives or we wouldn't support it. it's the best thing that gets out. if we give the states to get the waiveder that will send the coverage look how premiums will come down with states with the waiver that will send the message to the other states. >> there's been whispers about a vote on this in a day or a week. every member of congress that you ask about this gives you a different answer when the it will be. >> shepard: and then the spending bill. how far apart are denims and republicans to get to prevent a government shut down? sounds like the preblame game has begun. >> it sounds like they're talking now and the top democrat

in the senate says that's because the white house is no longer involved as they were a couple days ago. >> we're not there yet. but once the wall was taken out and the cost sharing was taken out, there's been a real desire. i give leader mcconnell credit. i think he had a real desire to get this done. unfortunately the president stood in the way. that's why we're delayed. >> this bill that they're debating to fund the government is a continuing resolution. it continues for a week. so there's potentially more shut down drama a few days away when they talk about a new bill. >> shepard: cause for reporter employment. thanks very much. president trump will sign a new executive order. the white house says it will make it easier to fire or transfer workers in the va and help protect staffers that blow

patient safety. let's bring in emily gooden from real clear politics. this has been bad forever. >> they have, shep, you're right. the v.a. has undergone numerous problems and trying to combat this. this is a strong step by president trump to give them some sort to give rid of the employees that haven't been performing well. it's an example of his business sense that he's drinking to the government. companies is fire employees that don't perform. but it's hard in the government. >> shepard: he promised on the campaign trail. homes -- he's coming through. how will the v.a. now be able to? what does this do? >> it does make the process a little bit easier. this is also the administration's way of trying to give congress a little bit of a nudge. because there's a legislative end of this. the house has passed some

legislation but staled in the senate. so this executive order will do all that the administration can do. they need this legislative authority to make it even easier and stronger for the v.a. to do this. >> shepard: what is the hangup with the legislation? what are senators objecting to? >> some democratic senators are concerned about the collective bargaining rights of workers. keep in mind that several democratic senators, especially in virginia and maryland represent federal workers that obviously don't like this provision. so they're going to have to do some negotiating there. >> shepard: so they're trying to keep them from organizing and bargaining collectively working for workers. that's just sort of slid into this bill? they want that part out? >> no, democrats are worried that this won't be in there. they want to help protect the bargaining rights of workers. that's what the controversy is about. are they getting in i where? the president has been applying pressure. >> the president is applying pressure. that's part of the reason he's doing this again today.

to try to do that. the veterans committee is working on this and trying to get it done. they know how important it is, how the veterans are suffering. we'll have to see if there's movement going forward. >> shepard: the president has been seeking some legislative victories in his first 100 days. he's had a lot of executive orders, which republicans by the way -- when obama was doing them, they said he was czarring up the place but this is how presidents can get things done. the president said he's going to do this and he's doing it. but on the legislative side, he's batting zero. >> yeah, you're right. he's batting zero. with only a couple days left, i don't see that record changing any time soon. >> emily goodin, thanks to see you. >> thank you. >> shepard: the trump administration is gearing up for a fight that could affect evenry internet user in this country. the critics say there's a new
