bob gates, say what you want, similar thing that came up at walter reed hospital he went out there firedh of people got it straightened out. it's not perfect but bitter than it was. >> firing shinseki. i think this important to -- find way to reform but understanding that we have nickel and dime the the v.a. in these last years. >> schieffer: let's talk about politicians. you saw chris christie. mayor bloomberg talking about hillary clinton, that same conference from chris christie was, bill clinton was they asked him about karl rove's remarks, here is what he said. >> first they said she faked her concussion. now they say she's auditioning for a part on "the walking dead." and there's nothing to it. i was sort of dumbfounded. they went to all this trouble to say that she had staged what was a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over. something she never low balled with the american people. never tried to pretend didn't happen. >> schieffer: you know the news there really, which got overlooked is he said it took six months to overcome this. up to this

if you did the wrong thing in bob gates' eyes, you were out.nd he imposed a degree of accountability on that big, impossible-to-manage place that's rarely seen. and i think that's really the message i'd take away from that interview if you're looking at -- we talked about the secret service problems. they need accountability. they need somebody to just go in and look at what happened and fire the people who did things wrong, same thing with v.a., same thing with the kind of policies in our financial sector that elizabeth warren talked about. that seems like the missing thing right now in our public life is holding people accountable, not in a partisan nasty way but in the sense of good public management. >> schieffer: well, you know, to your point, i remember very well when the airports turned up they were being kind of careless with handling nuclear weapons, he fired not only the airport chief of staff -- >> and the sealktary. schieffer: he also fired the secretary. >> i remember being around the building right after that. and i'll tell you, b

. >> they didn't fire bob gates. >> secretary of defense had the authority to fire people. right now secretary shinseki does not. that's the first thing. get the va management accountability act in there. that's the first thing. the second thing, when he was asked today by the senator if he would get rid of management, he said, i don't want to jump the gun on that. i want to talk to nigh i.g. wait a minute, everybody is talking about phoenix. i've been studying this over a year. you have five dead veterans at dorn medical facility who could not get in on time for colon ospies. you have bonuses given to executives when they have gotten mismanagement problems. you have one in dayton, ohio, who had an unsanitary dental facility and got an $11,000 bonus. you're rewarding executives. meanwhile, they have junk going on on their watch. it's not just phoenix. it's all over the nation. >> there's been a lack of accountability for quite a while under shinseki, a number of deaths not just in phoenix under his watch. people are frustrated he's not been held accountable. look, i don't j

bob gates has told me and has written about that he thought the resident showed extraordinary leadershipand had the power of it inquisitive mind -- and inquisitive mind. he would go back to the aid and say, what do you think? were you impressed with his management? command of the consequences? >> gates is very eloquent. i have huge admiration for the president. i saw him over a long time, it in a huge diversity of problems, albums that had no good solutions. he was tremendously impressive as a decision-maker. he wanted to get deep without getting into the weeds. deep enough so that he could understand the choices. he wanted to send -- wanted dissent. he wanted people to tell him where he was off. those are great strength. i'm not be paralyzed by those things. >> in the military, this question comes up with respect to afghanistan. he was concerned about the options offered him. isn't there another option? said -- how do we asked the right question? how do we figure it out in a better way? people said, why do we want to save the system? let them fall, and we will figure out a new way. othe

commission to investigate what went wrong, how to keep it from happening, and again, defense secretary bob gates, he also named an independent review panel, congress held hearings, soldiers testified. the problems at walter reed were not new to people who had been living them. they were not new to people in the military and the families that were coping with this ongoing disaster. but when "the washington post" broke that story open in 2007 and the nation was revolted by what was going on there, things did change at walter reed. in 2011, walter reed army medical center, as it had been known for more than a hundred years, it was closed by the military. they furled the flag. it was combined, ultimately, into the national naval medical center, and today that facility is known as the walter reed national medical center. it's located in bethesda maryland, about 5 1/2 miles away from the old facility in building 18. president obama today gave a major foreign policy address at west point at commencement there. it was heavy on the details about syria and somalia and the differences between his take on f

bob gates told me and has written a book basically that he thought the president showed extraordinary leadership and had the power of an inquisitive mind and was relentless in trying to find it. gates said he was asking the people in front of him and go back to the aide of the aide and say, what do you think? were you impressed with his leadership, management, command of the consequences? >> all those things and, you know, gates is very eloquent. i have huge admiration for the president and saw him very close up over a long period of time in a huge diversity of problems, problems with no good solutions, and he was tremendously impressive as a decision maker. you know, he wanted to get deep without getting in the weeds. deep enough to understand the choices. he wanted dissent, he wanted people to push back and tell him where he was off -- might be off. and those are great strengths, and to not be paralyzed by those things. >> charlie: yes, because in the military, this question comes up with respect to afghanistan. he was concerned about the options offered him, and isn't there another

. >> jim, this document was drawn up under bob gates' leadership. doing enough on zombie preparedness? >> well, we haven't heard of him speak of it yet, but i can guarantee the next time he appears at the podium, we'll ask him. but there is one thing that makes it clear this is not real. because this plan doesn't in any way consider the strategic and tactical implications regarding the differences between american and british zombies. >> very important distinction. we hope to see more progress on that. >> what is that difference? >> the accent. >> british zombies can run. >> that's true. >> i've got to go! >> jim, watch out for your brains! we hope not the late jim at the pentagon. >>> as we do every week, we've been asking you to tell us what story you think is underreported. the feature we call rfd under. too big to jail. so few convictions in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash. do we draw the line on nasty tweets? i have plenty of them. and the new secret prison being planned for guantanamo bay. vote on your favorite on our website. we'll

we know from bob gates' own memoir politicized national security issues when running for office.e are serious questions here. whether they politicize this in an election year and why i think the select committee is now coming to the forefront. we know what went on and what was known and was there white house direction in saving the talking point and knowing that al qaeda was spreading around the world when president obama was saying that al qaeda had been decimated in an election year. so there is serious questions whether this was politicized and i think that is why john boehner is looking toward a select committee on this. >> and what does it mean if they politicize this one. you talk about gates' autobiography and what does it mean if the government and the white house politicizes the deaths of four americans to try to sweep it under the rug for the real reason, that they all have in e-mails and testimony, to re-elect the president of the united states. >> i think it would be damning for this administration. they try to portray themselves on foreign policies, this is so import

>> guest: well, you know, the white house likes to say that i think it was bob gates, former secretarydefense, who warned the president at the very beginning that he should realize that every day someplace, someone in the federal government is screwing up. and that eventually some of those end up on his desk. and i think, yes, you might have warnings. i think the white house would tell you that they have tried to tackle one of the persistent problems which has been these long lists of disability claims and that incredible backlog there. they say that they've been able to shorten that. it's that assertion is, perhaps, comes into question once you start seeing that at the very hospitals they were gaming the system and gaming the numbers on other types of treatment. so, but in any event, the white house says, okay, we've tried to deal with some of these problems that we were dealing with at the beginning, but here's one where you actually had 40 people die while waiting for treatment in arizona. so it's a big problem for the white house. it probably right now is overshadowing benghazi. as

former secretary of defense bob gates talked about it on cbs on "face the nation." this is again about asserting russia's place on the international stage. basically saying russia is back and particularly under his leadership, that they are a force to be reckoned with. >> are we headed for a new cold war with russia over this? >> i think we are headeded into a more direct confrontation with russia. no doubt about it. russia made clear it will protect its interests in eastern ukraine. the question is whether or not the united states and allies want to protect ukraine more than russia wants to break it up. that remains unanswered. >> it's a question that will remain unanswered for some time here. ayman mohyeldin, good to see you. >> thanks, craig. >>> now to what's shaping up to be a dangerous night across the country. a potentially severe weather system developing now in the heartland. let's go to kate parker live in des moines. what's it looking like there now, kate? >> reporter: what you are looking at behind me is off to the southeast of des moines. we are in john

it is one of the most deeply rooted bureaucracy -- even secretary of defense bob gates says the v.a.hing. >> wow. >> and let's be clear here because there were a lot of e-mails yesterday and a lot responses that i got from people thinking that i was making this about barack obama, which of course is assanine. i said if the consistent had a problem with the i.r.s. or v.a. and you could call somebody at the i.r.s. and talk to somebody. the v.a. just didn't give a damn. it was the only agency i ever saw, and i had more veterans in my district than any other district that just didn't give a damn about the people that they serve. and this is going back 20, 25 years. vets in my district always talked about the slow roll. they would just push you off and push you off and push you off. it was the worst bureaucracy then, it is the worst bureaucracy now. there's not a close second. >> let me give you a very quick anecdote. this happened several years ago before general shinseki took over the v.a. i called the press secretary for some reason, it was about 3:00 in the afternoon and i got a recep

i think it is very striking if you go back to secretary bob gates's book.talks about the fact that he never believed the president's heart was in the mission. he was very troubled by that fact that we would send young men and women to afghanistan for this mission and the president did not really support them. he did not have his heart in their success. this lack of leadership i think is largely responsible for this war weariness that the country understandably feels. host: representative mac thornberry is our guest and randy is up next from michigan, and the crowds line. caller: good morning, thank you very much for this program and the folks behind the scenes. my question to the representative, good morning and hi i'm a democrat so i would love to sit down and have a discussion with you over a cup of coffee. i have to be careful how i speak to you because i get emotional. my question, sir, i would like to see you bring up legislation to reinstate the draft and i would like to explain why. up back in the vietnam era. i am 56. they stopped the draft in 1972.

bob gates' book indicated the same thing with i believe wording when it came to an opaque administrationn, he says it's the most controlled centralized messaging that he's -- administration he's ever been a part of. >> the editor of the "new york times" says the same thing. so when we see the geithner information on top of the ben rhodes e-mail that they tried to get susan rice and she willingly went along and lied on sunday chat shows, it's disappointing. meanwhile, are they lying about what's going on at the v.a.? there is more trouble at the v.a., disarray at the v.a. two employees in durham, north carolina, have been placed on administrative leave because apparently they, too, falsified records between the years of 2009 and 2012. they're now audited. >> phantom appointments that didn't exist, possibly for the same thing, to get incentives, to act as if they're efficient when they're not and the actual veterans are paying the price by not getting care. >> and trying to look good at the front office here, they're making them wait months and months, possibly leading to the deaths of man

. >>> and shares of darden sharply lower after announcing the sale of red lobster to golden gate capital. bobins us now. what does this mean for the stock? >> well, i think right now, mandy, what we are seeing is a transition into the shoulder base, because i think there are a lot of investors who jumped in on the belief that there's a big catalyst to come. i think at this point we've seen the catalyst, now it comes down to hard work for the company. that turning around its rye maining brands after they sell red lobster. >> we know olive garden and some smaller brands. what now is darden? is it literally 75% olive garden and that's where you've got to, pardon the pun, butter your bread? >> what i would say, brian, clearly, of the portfolio this company operates, the good, the bad and ugly, the ugly essentially is leaving red lobster. the bad is still olive garden and still struggling. now it's been a cash cow, but the company needs to essentially fix that business in the face of very systemic difficult trends in the industry, which are going to make that really, really tough. so they've got a

. >> bob, let's go to you out of the gate. what is your take on this? who is to blame at this point? >> first thing to blame is the system. the va has been very controversial from the very inception. when you give cash awards to people because there are no wait times and you get an award, that is mistake. obviously gives you opportunity to do something like this. more than that let's keep in mind the va was flooded with soldiers after the iraqi and afghanistan war and they were not prepared to handle it. that was part of the problem. they're still not prepared to handle it. it is, does it have to be thrown out? no. does it have to be the, rules have to be changed? does the structure of the administration have to be changed? yes, absolutely. it is unacceptable but on the other hand it is somewhat explainable because they don't have facilities to handle people. >> the investigation is not finished until august. how long before we see accountability from these reports. >> it is interesting, they want heads to roll but the investigation isn't finished. gene

david: let me go to bob, bob, this is exactly what you said would happen, lions gate should beat slightly on eps, on earnings side but in terms of revenue i didn't see them coming in. in fact that is what happened? >> their franchise movies are really good and they're really focused sort of on millenials as oppose to disany and fox has blended portfolio. disney obviously much more for the kid side of thing but their portfolio relies on big budget blockbusters which reduces profitability. their sort of lower cost franchise like tyler perry movies did really poorly. their tv shows did real well but that is not high margin business. when you look at franchise like "divergent," 250 in may, great return but expensive movie to make. i thought there would be another dollar in the stock. but i don't think it is as good a buy as disney or twenty-first century fox. david: they have to do all "hunger games," nothing but "hunger games." >> nothing but "hunger games." david: i love that. liz: thanks to larry and yuri. nice to have your perspectives. david: commodity collapse. gold lost its shine dropp

in an interview for tomorrow's face the nation, bob schieffer asks former defense secretary robert gates about the issue. >> this situation now in the veterans administration do you think the administration is putting enough priority on this? >> i don't know about the specific episode that i've been reading about in the newspapers. i do know that as i wrote in my book, if there's one bureaucracy in the department of defense, it's the v.a. i give a lot of credit to rick shinseki. i think shinseki has all the will in the world to do the right thing by veterans. he's totally committed. but he sits astride a very tough democracy. the administration has protected the v.a. and so on. my problem is below the secretary and think it's really important for him to delve into this and then if there are real problems, then to hold people accountable. >> bob's guests tomorrow will also inclues house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers republican of michigan and senator elizabeth warren, democrat of massachusetts. >>> the crisis in ukraine is deepening ahead of the referendum for independence o
