>> reporter: ben adams says an investigation has produced several witnesses who claim the woman never touched the boy. he said she's shared the investigative findings with the district attorney. >> all they need to do is call the witnesses that my own investigator did and this matter can be put to rest. i don't know why that takes months. >> reporter: the district attorney declined to speak with ktvu regarding this story. this incident has garnered international attention. garcia is scheduled to appear in court again on august 28th. riv -- live in the newsroom, sal castanedo, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> passengers calling it unnerving. a fake security screener took a passenger into a private room for a patdown. how the man was caught and what the tsa says about the incident. >>> stubborn clouds still lingering around the bay area but mark tamayo will be here to tell you if there could be a warmup in store for the weekend. >>> after more than six years and $1.3 billion, what just happened that indicates that levi stadium in santa clara is officially open for business. we love this kitchen

that i don't doubt in the weeds, ben, if you say this is true, but it is an opportunity for leadership, and the president needs to lead, and congress needs to lead. >> adam, nobody is leading. >> that is a sign to ben's point that he knows more about the civil arena than i do, but maybe this is not the way we handle the veterans. maybe they get front row seat care. >> and maybe not the way to handle the civil service. >> right. >> and that is a problem. >> what do you do? i mean, this public system is not working. >> well, that may be a thought. >> that may be a thought and privatizing a lot of it is a thought. >> and so far, washington has been giving the veterans a finger, and shame on them. shame on them. >> and we don't want to privatize it, because it is a government function and we need to take care of them and not privatize them, but offload it to somebody else. >> and i think that the idea, is that even if you don't privatize it, adam, have some elements of the private sector that account for the accountability, and changes to be made. and if there are embedded changes, the right word is driftwood and if you have the system clogged up with driftw

he was given the job by the other four men including john adams, ben franklin roger sherman of committeeon of new york. they agreed jefferson is the writer. let him do it. they made about 40 changes to the draft and then congress debated jefferson's document for another two days and made another 40 changes. the most important of which was cutting out a reference to sheriff slavery of all things and that's a point we should always come back to. >> what was taken out of the copy was what you were talking about. >> jefferson complains that the king of england is preventing america from stopping the slave trade, which is disingenuous to be polite about it. it's taken out jefferson later says it's taken out indifference to men who own slaves and northern brethren making money transporting them. is a reminder men that are talking about life and liberty and all of these important values very few of them had clean hands when it came to slavery. a man like william from new hampshire for instance. he's described as a merchant. he was a sea captain going between africa and west indies transporting

ben, stay safe. thank you so much for those reports. >>> and we want to come back to the united states here to capitol hill where california democrat adamf is joining us. he's the member of the permanent select committee on intelligence. and congressman, you just heard those reports. let me just ask you flat out, do you support the israeli airstrikes as a way to respond to what's been going on? is this the right approach by israel? >> well, i don't think israel really has any choice, as long as hamas continues to fire rockets into israel and put israelis at risk, israel has to respond in some manner. i don't think israel wants to go to ground and have a ground invasion. they may be compelled to do it if the rocket attacks continue. but i don't think that netanyahu could politically or otherwise sit on his hands while his citizens are being threatened in this way. so i'm not sure the israelis have much choice. i hope that given the fact that hamas has lost a lot of its pay dr tr patrons. >> what about sending in ground troops? 40,000 israeli military reservists have been notified. the president shimon peres told our becky anderson that i
