tv   Shepard Smith Reporting  FOX News  June 15, 2017 12:00pm-1:01pm PDT

12:00 pm
water landing. the 36-mile flight starting in france and ending near the english town of dover, so they hoped. i'm melissa francis. here's bill hemmer in for shep. >> melissa, thank you. breaking news on the fox news channel. we are about to get an update on the condition of the american student just released from north korea. he's not in good shape. a news conference begins any moment. we'll go there live. i'm bill hemmer in for shepard smith. otto's first held his own news conference earlier today. he lashed out at north korea and many others two days after the country released his son in a coma. the north koreans said he contracted botulism a year. his father says he's not buying
12:01 pm
any of that. >> north korea is a pariah regime. they're brutal and they're terroristic. you can't believe anything. it's your choice. we don't believe anything they say. >> that was otto's father. the news conference begins soon. we'll see how otto warmbier got to that point. let's drop in now. >> today you will here from the following physicians. dr. daniel canter from the neurocare program. dr. jordan bonomo, neuro intensivist with the gardner institute, u.c. associate professor and director of the
12:02 pm
u.c. department emergency medicine division of critical car. and dr. brandon foreman. neuro intensive care specialist with the u.c. gardner neuro science institute and u.c. professor of neurology and rehabilitation medicine. before we begin, we want to make clear our physicians' comments will focus on what we know today regarding otto's medical condition. we will begin with dr. canter who will provide a summary and then accept questions regarding facts. we will accept questions and will conclude this gathering in approximately 20 minutes. at that time we will then accept questions regarding fact-checking and you can talk with kelly martin who is down in frontier regarding any facts or
12:03 pm
information contained in the press materials you've received. police note our physicians will not be granting individual interviews and a copy of dr. canter's remarks will be provided as you exit today. dr. canter? >> good afternoon. our purpose today is to describe the medical and neurological condition of mr. otto warmbier. he arrived at our medical center approximately 40 hours ago. the warmbier family has given us permission and has asked us to discussion his current medical condition. mr. warmbier arrived in cincinnati at president 10:00 p.m. on june 13. dr. jordan bonomo and the transport team met the aircraft and assumed care of the patient at the airport. he was transported to the neuro
12:04 pm
science intensive care unit at the university of cincinnati medical center where dr. brandon foreman and his team were waiting. an extensive barrage of tests began immediately. throughout the process, the warmbier family has been at their son's bedside and information has been continuous little shared with them. his vital signs were stable upon arrival and have remained so. he requires no supplemental oxygen or respiratory assistance. he has no signs of infection or dysfunction of the major nonneurological organs. his neurological conditions can be best described as a state of unresponsive wakefulness. he has spontaneous eye openings and blinkings.
12:05 pm
however, he shows no signs of understanding language. responding to verbal commands or awareness of his surroundings. he has not spoken, he has not engaged in any purposeful movements or behaviors. his exam shows a spastic quadra parasis, which means he has profound weakness and contraction of the muscles of his arms and legs. the most important diagnostic test thus far was the magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain, this study showed extensive loss of brain tissue in all regions of the brain. we have no certain or verifiable knowledge of the cause or circumstances of his neurological injury. this pattern of brain injury,
12:06 pm
however, is usually seen as a result of cardio pulmonary arrest where the blood supply to the brain is inadequate for a period of time resulting in the death of brain tissue. we received copies of brain mri images from the medical personnel in north korea. the earliest images are dated april 2016. based upon our analysis of those images, the brain injury likely occurred in the preceding weeks. at the request of the family, information regarding his prognosis, prospects for improvement and future care and treatment will remain confidential. the warmbier family has shown remarkable courage, strength and
12:07 pm
compassion. on behalf of the medical staff, nurses and associates of the university of cincinnati medical center, i can say that it's our privilege to care for their son and brother. thank you. >> at this time we will accept questions. raise your hand and kelly martin to my left, your right, will acknowledge you and bring a microphone to you so that everyone may hear your question. >> hi there. from the sunday times of london. you spoke about cardio pulmonary arrest. what kind of things might cause
12:08 pm
cardio pulmonary arrest? it sounds to me like, you know, physical abuse might be something that could bring that on. could you say a little more about that? >> we have no certain or verifiable information about what happened to otto prior to his departure. in general terms, one of the more likely causes of the cardio pulmonary arrest would have been a respiratory arrest. >> miguel marcus from cnn. on your mri and scans that you did of mr. warmbier, was there any indication of trauma to any part -- or any fractures, any -- anything in the head or other parts of the body and would you know if he were in a coma for quite some time if he suffered a heart attack or something that would cut off blood supply to the brain?
12:09 pm
would you be able to tell at this point that he suffered botulism, took a sleeping pill, had some other allergic reaction or some sort of reaction to something he took there? >> well, there's several questions put together there. i'm going to -- dr. foreman will address the botulism question. let me address the question of injuries. among the battery of tests we performed, we examined all the long bones of the body, a skeletal survey, we looked at the bony structures of the ribs, the pelvis, the skull and he's had ct scans of the chest, abdomen scans. the botulism question. >> botulism is a toxin that
12:10 pm
causes nerve injury. as part of his evaluation with us, we performed emg and nerve conduction studies. those tests didn't show denervation or active botulism at this time. so what we're looking for, we didn't find any evidence of that. >> cheryl folberg of "the new york times." can you tell how long a patient in this kind of condition might be expected to go on? >> at the request to the family, issues regarding his future, his prognosis are subject of ongoing discussion. they wish us to keep those
12:11 pm
discussions private and confidential. we'll remain about what might happen in the future to him. >> it would overlap with our private discussions with the family too much. >> ron mott, nbc news. you spoke about botulism. in your professional opinion or the likelihood of the story put forward by the botulism and a sleeping pill led to this result? have there been cases similar to this where that combination -- seems very rare and random. i just wanted your professional opinion about the plausibility of that explanation from the north koreans. >> it would be hard to speculate on anything related to his condition or treatment prior to his departure from north korea at this time. it would be very difficult for us to say. we have limited information about that time period. >> christina corbin, fox news.
12:12 pm
i wanted to clarify. dr. foreman, you say you didn't find any evidence of botulism at all? >> that's correct, yes. >> you said something about a respiratory arrest. what would trigger that? >> there's many cases of respiratory arrest. they can stem from intoxication to trauma. there can be other causes in a young person. in general, respiratory arrest is in a young otherwise healthy pair, a rare event caused by an intoxication or traumatic injury. >> for any three of you what otto has suffered in his brain, are we talking irreversible damage? can he recover from this? what is his brain going through? >> as i delineated, there's
12:13 pm
severe injury to all regions of the brain. because of the family sensitivity, we'll refrain from discussing what the future holds for him. >> given his condition, can you tell if he's been given good care for the last year plus since he's been in this condition? >> we still don't know for sure what transpired before he arrived. we can describe his condition upon arrival. his skin was in good condition. and he was well-nourished when he arrived at our facility. >> amanda kelly. i was wondering, how difficult is it for all of you to treat a patient that has such a gap in his medical history? i know that that is very important when anyone goes to the doctor. what has it been like for you?
12:14 pm
>> yeah, that's certainly been a challenge. one of the things that we did well as part of his care team, we performed a comprehensive set of evaluations. we had a great deal of information that allowed us to make a lot of inferences about his condition. so working with a great team, we had a lot of information that we weren't able to get with the missing records and missing information that you point out. >> [question inaudible] >> we have no ongoing relationship. these scans were present on a
12:15 pm
disc of material. they came with them, with the air transport service. there are two scans on the disc. they are dated april and july 2016. that's the notation. of course, we can't verify that. his current scan is consistent with evolution of changes that were visible on those scans. the word "extensive" in his case refers to severe loss of tissue. >> [question inaudible] >> so the final common pathway is the lack of blood flow to the brain for long enough to destroy brain cells. this can occur from a cardiac arrest alone or a respiratory arrest where there's inadequate oxygen supply to the body at which point the heart will stop functioning correctly.
12:16 pm
it's difficult to determine which of those occurred, of course. >> how does it work? miguel from cnn. how does it work? so if one from suffers that sort of event where the blood stops flowing to the brain, is the damage done all at once or what was that evolution of change that you saw from march to july and then presently where we have it? did it get worse or was this -- all the damage done in one go? >> the evolving changes on mri are consistent with tissue evolution, not new damages. so as the tissue is initially damaged, the body tries to remove the damage tissue. those are the kind of changes we're seeing, the removal of the damage tissues by the body's own internal house-keeping mechanisms. the damage to the brain of a
12:17 pm
cardio pulmonary arrest occurs within minutes of inadequate blood flow. >> [question inaudible] >> we do see respiratory arrest from medication overdose. it would be inappropriate for me to speculate about the intent-a misadministration of the medication. we have very limited information about what happened to otto prior to his departure from north korea. >> two quick questions here. one, mr. warmbier in his press conference today criticized the north korean regime about withholding top notch medical care from their son. i just wanted to get your opinions about whether in this
12:18 pm
ordeal you think he has had access to top notch medical care? the second question, the term you mentioned, "unresponsive waitf waitfulness". can you tell if there's any recognition of his surroundings? >> in terms of his medical care in north korea, we have absolutely no information about the care he received there. there's no way i can speculate on his car there. what i can tell you, here we've really taken a lot of effort to make sure we've addressed any problems that he may be having, including comfort and symptoms related to the extensiveness of his brain injury. with regard to the wakefulness that he's in, the way that we evaluate him to determine that is based on a lack of consistent and persistent responses to
12:19 pm
stimulation within his environment. so as we attempt to interact with him, give him verbal direction or cues, he has no consistent responses to those. in our evaluation based on standard scores and those sorts of things in addition to images and electrodiagnostics, we don't feel he has any conscious awareness in this unresponsive wakefulness state. >> one follow up. were the scans that you got from the north screens the entirety that you got from them? were there any other files? are there any signs of choking or drowning or anything else to the soft tissue that you might tell from the scans that you've done? >> the ct scan of the soft tissues of the neck performed as part of our series of tests, at the present time the study looks normal. we did receive a few pages of
12:20 pm
laboratory value reports from north korea, which are numerical values of various blood tests with dates. they did not, however, shed light on the circumstances of his injury or the exact cause. >> ann thompson from here in cincinnati. the speculation is that he was badly beaten. what if any evidence did you see on the mri of any injuries, trauma like that? >> the mri as i said previously, the type and pattern of damage we see on mri is not the type we normally see with traumatic brain injury. it's the time we normally see with cardio pulmonary arrest. >> thanks. dave king from the associated press. seems like there's various kinds of information. i know it's patchy.
12:21 pm
but i wanted to know if there's any like -- everything and anything that they might have told you, any kind of information, any kind -- all kinds of files. what did they tell you? what is the totality of what they told you? >> we've had no direct contact with north korean medical authorities. >> we're going to take two more questions and then we will conclude. >> can there be any more -- >> would you introduce yourself, please? >> amanda at channel 5 again. are there more tests that -- you've had him here for 40 hours. is there more that can be learned overtime or have you done the battery of tests and this is what we know and as far as we'll get? >> yeah, we wanted to perform a complete evaluation of his current state. so that's -- those tests have been done at this time. i think we have a complete view
12:22 pm
of his state. further tests down the line will rely on the decision making and discussions with the family which we said are private at this time. >> american intelligence officials have said that he was singled out for particularly brutal beatings. so i'm wondering, did he show any body scars or is it your opinion that he was not beaten? >> as i said there were no fractures to the bones that we can detect. there were minor blemishes on his skin that are thought to be consistent with medical care and intravenous lines. we didn't see any skin indications that are strongly suggestive of mistreatment. but beyond that, we cannot speculate on what might have occurred in the past. >> thank you. we value our media partners to share that story accurately. thank you, dr. kanter, drdr.
12:23 pm
dr. bonomo and dr. foreman. >> the news for the warmbier family is sobering. doctors just giving us an indication of what they learned in the last 40 hours. the neurological condition has spontaneous eye opening and blinking but not engaged in any purposeful interaction. the mri, extensive loss of brain tissue. as for trauma, they say there's no sign of trauma to his body or his skull or his bones as you just heard. was it botulism? no suggestion that that is the case. the damage they suggest could have been done within minutes. want to bring in josh lederman that covers foreign policy for the associated press and dr. mark seagle, professor is from nyc medical center in new york. josh, hang on. i want the doctor's reaction to everything we just learned. your evaluation based on what you hear from there in cincinnati. >> a lot of words that they
12:24 pm
didn't speak spoke volumes. first of all, this is a tragic situation. the fact that his eyes are opening and blinking doesn't change the fact that this is a vegetative state most likely which has a very poor long-term prognosis. he's been in this over a year presumably. the chances are by far that he will never wake up. he might persist in this state based on the facts we're hearing at this conference for a matter of years. but doesn't mean he will wake up. very unlikely he will wake up. we also heard that it doesn't seem from the mris that it was head trauma. people said did he get beaten. there's no evidence on the mri. he said repeatedly the mris they described are the mris with insufficient blood flow to the brain. why does that occur? one way is because you have a heart problem. there was no sign of a heart problem there or they would have
12:25 pm
said so. you can have an arrhythmia where your heart stops from something that you take, a medication, but much more likely some medication suppressed his breathing a sleeping pill or other medication stopped his breathing which stopped his heart. just minutes of insufficient blow flow to the brain is enough to cause this damage. >> there was a record that the day after he was sentenced, which goes back to march of this year, he fell into this condition. the north koreans said it was botulism and a sleeping pill. if you are given a sleeping pill, how can this be the result? >> you won't see this from a slingle sleeping pill. they were clear this was not botulism. he did not have that. it was ruled out. i don't believe he had one single sleeping pill either. it would be almost impossible that that pill would cause him to stop breathing. it would have to be more
12:26 pm
medication given to him. >> so his brain was starved of oxygen and the damage was immediate according to what we just heard. >> what we heard is most likely something caused him to stop breathing. when you stop breathing for a period of time, your heart stops beating. when your heart stops beating, you brain doesn't give you enough oxygen. minutes alone is enough to cause irreversible damage. >> you think we will ever know how this happened? >> we will never know. but we heard a lot that leads us in a certain direction. >> how could it be that we could not know of his condition for a period of 15 months? >> you have to keep in mind, there's so little information that comes out of north korea. we don't have diplomatic relations with them. we don't have a way to engage with them regularly. we weren't even able to get counselor access to warmbier while he was detained in the
12:27 pm
past few weeks. the swedes that represent our interests were able to get access to him. that's when this information about his condition finally came out. >> have you asked the question today, if that is the case with this 22-year-old american, what is the case with their nuclear program? how much do we honestly know about that? >> a lot that we do know about that for u.s. intelligence and intelligence services from allied countries like south korea and japan. but you're right. it's a very difficult environment for the u.s. to figure out what's going on, especially with our detained americans. there's three other americans that we know of that are detained in north korean. not a lot of information that the u.s. has regularly on them either. >> josh, the father earlier today had rather pointed comments about the obama administration. he had good things to say about the reception he was given by the current administration.
12:28 pm
can you characterize what has changed with rex tillerson and the job there at the state department? >> sure. i don't know if it's about tillerson per se. a long-standing concern under the obama administration that when there were americans detained, families were encouraged not to talk about it publicly. it wasn't just limited to north korea. oftentimes this came up in the text of potential hostage release discussions and whether people should be talking about what families were talking about with countries that were holding their loved ones about trying to negotiate their release. the general approach was, keep quiet. you don't want to inflame the situation by going public with it, possibly make it harder for these countries to release detained americans. there's been a different approach under this administration. we heard the father of this man talking today about how he was frustrated and how they finally said, we're going to talk about this and they wanted to build pressure. that's what they did.
12:29 pm
>> one more question for you. after this clip from fred warmbier earlier today. >> north korea is a pariah regime. they're brutal and terroristic. you can't believe anything. it's your choice. we don't believe anything they say. >> it's rather heartfelt earlier today. can you say whether this relationship between two governments has changed at all in the past four months? >> well, certainly we know that -- there really isn't a relationship between the two governments to speak of. we know the trump administration has been going around the world trying to get countries to increase pressure on north korea. that having been said, we know there was a special envoy that traveled to north korea to visit these other americans and to retrieve mr. warmbier. that is a significant moment having a u.s. diplomat in north korea, not something that you see very often. >> therein lies the question.
12:30 pm
why did this administration get an envoy in there to see and find out about otto and the past administration could not? >> the previous administration did get americans released. there were americans released and people that came from the u.s. to collect them. not always government envoys but people that were prominent americans. so whether or not that is an actual sign of progress to restarting some type of relationship is a question we don't have an answer yet. >> thanks, josh. thank you. and dr. marc siegel, thanks for your analysis. >> thanks. >> in a moment, steve scalise is in tough shape. those are the words from the president this morning. in a moment, we're live at the hospital with the latest on his condition and the others wounded in the attack. phone with our allstate agent,
12:31 pm

they're words to live by. the john deere ztrak z345r.
12:33 pm
>> bill: at least seven people are dead and dozens injured outside an explosion at a kindergarten. that's the word from eastern china. unclear if children are among the victims. no word on a cause. teams from the national weather service surveying tornado damage in northeastern wisconsin. three twisters touched down yesterday damaging homes and knocking down trees and power lines. check out this stunt. this is the wife of the dare devil nick wallenda this morning. she used her teeth to hang from a helicopter 300 feet above niagara falls. crowds saw her hanging upside-down from her toes. she's 36 years old, a mother of three. she was wearing a safety harness, which is required in new york state. five years ago today, her husband nick wallenda walked over niagara falls on a tight rope. the news continues after this break. son: hey mom, one more game?

12:36 pm
critical condition again today. a day after a gunman shot him and three others at the republican charity baseball practice. a source telling our senior capitol hill producer, chad pergram, his condition is complicated. the hospital reporting that scalise needs multiple surgeries after the bullet hit him in the hip, fractured his bones and caused organ damage and internal bleeding. yesterday president trump said the congressman would fully recover but today there's a different tone. >> it's been much more difficult than people thought at the time. he's in some trouble. he's a great fighter and he will be okay we hope. >> bill: earlier today the vice president and his wife visited scalise at the hospital. the vice president posted this picture on twitter. president trump and the first lady melania visiting scalise last night. doug mckelway is live in wash damage with more from there now. doug? >> bill, one of the troubling
12:37 pm
things here, the last update we got from the hospital was 17 hours ago. they said absolutely nothing today about the condition of steve scalise. it may be the fact that the wounds are so complex and so difficult to take care of that the course of treatment ahead is simply unknowable at this point. i don't want to paint too grim of picture but the course of action is something that they have to wait to feel out. may be that they're deciding to comment less publicly. the less said the better. in terms of other victims, a mixed bag. let's start with zach barth, who was an aide to congressman williams. despite being shot in the calf muscle and right field and making his way back to the dugout, he was back at work in the u.s. capitol this morning. showed no worse for the wear other than a limp. he described his run-in with the gunman. >> there's no why for me to go, no gate.
12:38 pm
so i did the best thing i can. get on the ground. i see him turn his gun towards me. it just starts popping all around me. he hits me in my leg. my adrenaline is pumping and my fight or flight reflexes take control. i said if i want to live, i need to get to better cover. >> he made it back to the dugout running full speed on the leg that was wounded where his bod, congressman williams, took his belt off and made a tourniquet to stem the bleeding. matt mika is in very serious condition today we hear from his family. he suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest. he's in critical but stable condition in george washington university hospital where he's set to undergo more surgery tomorrow. the two capitol police officers
12:39 pm
involved, mrs. griner and mrs. bailey are fine today. griner is being treated to the leg and expected to make a full coverry. bailey had a small injury and will do just fine. the serious cases here, scalise and mika. back to you. >> doug mckelway. thank you. the man accused of shooting at republican lawmakers railed against the rich in an occupy st. louis protest. here's what he said in 2011. >> the 99% are getting pushed around and the 1% are not giving a damn. so we have to speak up for the whole country. >> that was six years ago. federal investigators say they're trying to figure out why james hodgkinson opened fire. catherine herridge has more from the latest. the fbi is telling you what? >> a short time ago, the fbi
12:40 pm
confirming the atf trace on the weapons is complete and there's no evidence to suggest that a 9 millimeter handgun and the rifle were bought illegally. agents are processing the cell phone, computer and camera. agents remain hopeful the digital forensic trail whether the shooting was remeditated or opportunist opportunistic. the investigation is proceeding on multiple friends. whether hodgkinson had help in planning the attack. at this point they're leaning towards the conclusion that hodgkinson acted on his own. they're still working on the ballistics evidence and investigating the trajectory of his shots. >> bill: and what do you have about his past? >> according to police, there was a violent incident in 2006
12:41 pm
with his daughter. hodgkinson went into his house and grabbed his daughter by her hair. she escaped. he opened the door to slash the seat belts and punched the neighbor in the first. he pulled a gun on another man. he and his wife were arrested and charged with domestic battery. the charges were dismissed and not enough to block him from getting a firearm permit. >> thanks, catherine herridge. some american fighter pilots say they're facing a potentially deadly threat inside their own planes. our own former f-18 pilot, lea gabrielle explains. she's here to tell us what it's like about has the new report on what the navy is doing about this problem. that's next. i am totally blind.

12:44 pm
12:45 pm
>> bill: we're getting a look at a report from the u.s. navy about a problem that has brought pilot training to a standstill. some pilots said they were more scared of dieing in the cockpit than being killed by the enemy. that got our attention. the navy ordered a pause in training while they reviewed the situation. lea gabrielle is here. she used to fly fighter jets. what did you find out? >> the bottom line, the navy cannot say the t-45, the only jet trainer, can start reporting a again for training. there isn't a solution yet. the systems are supposed to provide clean air to the pilot and they don't. >> we're getting the latest look at the technology that helps
12:46 pm
teach the pilots. the reduced oxygen breathing device allows pilots to experience oxygen loss while flying but in the safety of a simulator. as a former f-18 pilot, i give it a try. >> we can put this mask on and slowly decrease the amount of oxygen that we're getting to simulate as best we can what the pilot would experience. >> pilots could become dizzy, euphoric or even pass out. >> i'm light-headed. very uncomfortable. can't concentrate. >> it's been successful in helping people recognize the symptoms before they have a cognitive or loss of consciousness. >> your heart rate is coming up. >> one training goal, to recognize the symptoms and pull a green ring, which gives the pilots up to ten minutes of
12:47 pm
energy oxygen. >> one of the reasons for this training in the simulator is because pilots are reporting more problems in planes like these. when you're flying in the air in an f-18, can it be a matter of life and death. >> in fact, we learned some pilots are more concerned about their life support systems failing than the risks of combat. the pilots we spoke about in virginia disagree. >> i've seen no problems operating safety under the current mitigation strategy. >> the navy review released today says they view these episodes as a number 1 safety priority and announced unconstrained resource to finding a solution. i spoke with admiral bill moran who ordered the review. in the system ought to operate the way it's supposed to. it's up to us to get the airplane back to that level of performance. >> pilots have to manually activate the emergency oxygen, even if they're impaired.
12:48 pm
admiral moran said the goal is to have an automatic system that would do that. if they're not able to get the t-45 trainers flying a again by the end of summer, the navy thinks they're close. >> let's see how that goes. they gave you this experience. >> they did. >> bill: what was that like? >> first, this is really great training. it's very strong training. teaches muscle memory. when you have the symptoms, the ones that happen to you, you start going through the procedures. when you're impaired, it's important. felt like when you're under water, you have the feeling of panic. >> bill: thank you, lea. in a moment, jurors said they're dead liked in the bill cosby case. the judge won't let them give up. live from the courthouse and what we're learning inside the jerusalem in a moment.
12:49 pm
12:50 pm
12:51 pm
12:52 pm
>> bill: bill cosby's lawyers asking for a mistrial after the jury said they were dead locked and couldn't agree on a verdict. the judge told the jury to keep on working. jurors have been deliberating four days in a former temple university employee accusing america's dad of drugging and a sexually assaulting her a decade ago. cosby said it was consensual. we're on stand by for a verdict. rick leventhal has more. what do you have, rick? >> bill, things have calmed down the last couple hours. when news first broke that the jury had dead locked on the
12:53 pm
