barometer making a major announce -- president obama making a major announcement regarding the v.a. scandal. he just wrapped up a closed- door meeting with eric shinseki. let's listen in. >> when i hear allegations of misconduct, any misconduct, whether it's allegations of v.a. staff covering up long wait times or cooking the books, i will not stand for it, not as commander-in-chief but also not as an american. none of us should. so if these ail allegations prove to be -- if these allegations prove to be true, it's dishonorable, it's disgraceful and i will not tolerate it, period. here's what i discussed with secretary shinseki this morning

-- first, anybody found to have manipulated or falsified records at v.a. facilities has to be held accountable. the inspector general at the v.a. has launched investigations into the phoenix v.a. and other facilities. some individuals have already been put on administrative leave. i know that people are angry and want swift reckoning. i sim po thiz with that. but -- sim po thiz with that -- sympathize with that. once we know the facts, i assure you if there's misconduct, it will be punished. second, i want to know the full scope of this problem. that's why i ordered secretary shinseki to investigate. today he updated me on his review which is looking not just as the phoenix facility but also the v.a.

facilities across the nation and i expect preliminary results from that preview next week. third, i've directed rob neighborrers to conduct a broader review of the administration, the part of the v.a. that delivers healthcare to our veterans. rob is going to phoenix today. keep in mind, though, even if we had not heard reports out of this phoenix facility or other facilities, we all know that it often takes too long for veterans to get the care that they need. that's not a new development. it's been a problem for decades. it's been compounded by more than a decade of war. that's why i whim came into -- when i came into office, i said we would systematic work to fix these problems. we've been working really hard to address them. my attitude is for folks who

have been waiting on the battle field, they should not have to at home to get the care they've earned. the presumption has always been we have to do better. and rob's review will be a comprehensive look at the look currently to access to care. i want to know what's working. i want to know what's not working and i want specific recommendations on how the v.a. can up their game. i expect that full report next month. number 4, i said that i expect everyone involved to work with congress which has an important oversight role to play. i welcome congress as a partner in our efforts, not just to address the current controversies but to make sure we're doing right by our veterans across the board. i served on the veterans affairs committee when i was in the senate and it was one of the proudest pieces of business i did. i know the folks over there

care deeply about our veterans. it's important that our veterans don't become another political football, especially when so many are receiving care. this is an area where democrats and republicans should be working together. even as we get to the bottom of what happened, all of us have to stay focused on the larger mission which is upholding our sacred trust to all of our veterans. bringing the v.a. in the 21st century which is not an easy task. we're made progress over the last five years. we've made historic investments in our veterans. we boosted v.a. funding to record levels and we created consistency to advanced appropriations so that veterans organizations knew there money would be there regardless of

the political wrangling in congress. we delivered disability pay to more vietnam vets, making it easier for veterans with those exposed to post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury to get treatment and improving care for women's veterans. because of these steps and the influx of new veterans requiring services, added in many cases to wait times, we launched and all-out war on the disability claims backlog and in the past year alone we've slashed that bag log by half. of course, we're not gonna get up because it's still too high. we'll keep at it until we eliminate the backlog once and for while. we're also reducing homelessness among our veterans. we're helping veterans and their families more than a million so far pursue their education under the post 9/11

g.i. bill. we're stepping up our efforts to help our newest veterans get the skills and training to find jobs when they come home and along with michelle and jill biden and joining forces, we've helped hundreds of thousands of vets find jobs. unemployment all of though still way too high is coming down. some of the problems with respect to how veterans are able to access the benefits that they've earned, that's not a new issue, that's an issue i was working on when i was running for the united states senate. taking care of our veterans and their families has been one of the causes of my presidency and it is something that all of us have to be involved with and had to be paying attention to. >> you've been listening live to president obama speaking at

the white house, just made a much-anticipated speech on this veteran administration scandal. become quite an issue. basically some vets have been waiting months if not years for medical care. some have died in the process. the president said anyone caught falsifying records has to be held accountable. he wants to know the full scope of the problem. that's why he sent his chief of staff to phoenix, one of facilities where there's been the most number of deaths with veterans waiting for medical care. he expects everyone involved to work with congress. they will work together to try to get to the bottom of this and he wants to stay focused on the larger mission, upholding the sacred trust of veterans and bringing the v.a. into the 21st century. a lot of people were wondering if the president would fire the v.a. secretary, shinseki, but that's not happened. the president sounds like they will still work together and shinseki said he's committed to

providing the best care for the veterans. >> he mentioned he was given an update from him this morning. he expects more to come out of him soon. we are ally all over it. you -- we're all over it. you heard it here on "mornings on 2". it's wednesday morning. i'm dave clark. >> a quick look at weather and traffic getting a little warmer, steve. >> absolutely, tori. we'll take it from today into the weekend. still rain, snow in the sierra. about done. there's some fog on the coast but it will get chewed up by an offshore breeze. it's not kicking in yet. plenty of low clouds, drizzle from half moon bay el granada, daly city. mostly sunny, warmer. some of that fog on the coast might be tough. san mateo, santa cruz coast. there's still plenty out there over the bay. you can see pretty good steady rain up in parts of nevada. most of this is favoring the lee side or eastern sierra. it will be breezy. we expect the breeze to turn northerly. by this afternoon, as the low
