. >> i'm mike miller my real name.he staff here call me birdman of san quentin. >> the first day i got here at san quentin. the birds seemed to have flocked to me for some reason. and i don't know they probably think i am the bird man of alcatraz. maybe i'm mistaken because he had a shaved head too. >> miller was serving an eight year sentence for burglary when he proudly showed us his cell. a virtual shrine to his winged friends. >> ever since i have been here the birds come up to me like they know me. you know i got them landing on my shoulders and my hands. and you know different kinds of birds. not just pigeons. but i got, you know different kind of black birds. finch and the red wing landing on me. i think -- the birds is a good way of -- of releasing a lot of tension and anger. before i got arrested my girlfriend used to chase the birds away. she didn't want me around them. and so -- now i'm in here. i have a chance to mingle with the birds. and basically that's about the only friends that i got. i can't trust an

we have jon miller, mike krukow and gerard moncure. how you doing? >> i'm doing well. that's a tough crew to keep up with. madison bumgarner throwing for the g-men's sixth victory against their rival at dodger stadium. here's miller and krukow. >> one thing that's been fairly consistent, the giants have pitched extremely well. tonight it bumgarner will try to keep that going and he's facing a ball club begiagainst which hs done very well against in the past. >> i think the most significant thing is how is he throwing right now. if you look back at his last outing in atlanta, he struck out nine of the braves rs and he did it with a great breaking ball, the best breaking ball that he's had. his velocity is right in synch. you know he's going to do well. >> in this ballpark, he has the lowest earned run average of any active pitcher against the dodgers. so bumgarner for the giants. 5-2 against the dodgers so far this year. i'm jon miller with mike krukow, talk to you a little bit later now. back to the studio. >> let's talk football. earlier today, the 49ers traded a fourt

. >> the chairman, jie miller, as mentioned by mike emanuel earlier, i quote, right now two things shouldppen, attorney general eric holder should launch a criminal investigation into the v.a.'s widespread vict criminal corruption and v.a. secretary shinseki should resign immediately. one of the biggest war heroes in all of public life is john mccain. judge, he's lost john mccain and doesn't seem to realize he doesn't have defenders now. i can't imagine this thing coming out and the president not acting in one way or another, at least accepting a resignation. >> i think you're right, shep. for someone like general shinseki to lose the support of john mccain because of events that occurred in mccain's home state, mccain a champion of military and veterans for a variety of reasons not the least of which is his own heroic background will completely undermine former general secretary shinseki. on the other hand, i don't know how eric holder can with intellect hall honesty resist the offers to investigation this. there's no way he can look the other way. he doesn't have to do it himself or in

the ceo will pass the baton to mike field -- mark fields. matt millerith him and now joins us. basically, this was telegraphed, shall we say, pretty well. a long time. someone was at a dinner event pretty recently where mark fields was speaking and the announcer said lee's welcome the next ceo of ford. i do not know who it was. apparently there was a chuckle around the room and not really denied. everyone has known he would be ceo for a long time. the question was the timing. hadame down to alan mulally been in talks with microsoft and everyone knew it. mark fields had been running the company for so long. since november 2012 he has been running the daily meetings in day to day operations. they were grooming him for it. the company was well enough positioned to make the change. the question was whether or not they were really sure it was him? i asked will forte if they thought about hiring anyone else. around the world. we looked at executives inside the industry and outside the industry. we kept coming back to the fact that we thought was the best cand

mike? >> well, greta, you get a sense that house veterans affairs chairman jeff miller has had it with this investigation. earlier this afternoon, after an interim report from an independent watchdog came out saying that these phony schedules that the phony numbers were doctored up by the v.a. in phoenix that all that is true. jeff miller came out and said eric shin seq.y the secretary of veterans affairs it's time for him to go. it's time for new leadership. so tonight up here on capitol hill. a very rare occurrence a hearing with three mid level officials at the v.a. and essentially saying that the v.a. has not provided information, has not been very forthcoming. unless the committee threatened to turn up the pressure on them. is he frustrated. he's answers and hearing that this independent watchdog has found that all the allegations appear to be true at this point, a lot of this is systemic in terms of america's war heros, he has had enough and calling for shinseki to go. >> does anyone think that general shinseki can stay? does he have support within the democratic party? >> the top dem

but we do have democratic congressman mike meshow, who will join us and gop congressman jeff miller atghing in on all this. what a late night in washington, d.c certainly some firey comments. >> congressman has been sounding the alarm. among those democrats saying okay, general shinseki has to go, senator hagin, as well as mark udall. >> we should point out 20 democrats as well, according to national journal, a senior white house official says mr. shinseki's job currently is up in the air. all right. let's go to west point yesterday. the president of the united states delivered the commencement address. it was an icy reception. less than 25% of them gave him a standing ovation, according to one news account. what's interesting is he didn't talk about the v.a. scandal, which he should have. he didn't talk about islamic, when he was talking about the extremists. but he did have time to make sure that those in attendance realize that now that they were graduating, they needed to get out there, put on their camo and fight climate change. >> that spirit of cooperation needs to energize the

bob bennett, richard lugar and mike castle, all kicked out of washington by fights within their own party. christine o'donnell, joe miller tea party favorites, earned nominations instead. they were too extreme for the states they have been running in. tea party candidates have been coming up short leading to ed had lines that suggests the tea party is done. that might very well be the case but not necessarily for the reasons being commonly discussed. they have been winning because they have fully embraced the tea party platform. they have drited so far to the right that they are no longer republicans in name only. conservative voters have been stripped of that fundamental reason for casting protest votes. >> i think the tea party has brought great energy to our political process. they are not that big of a difference between what you all call the tea party and your average, conservative republican. >> as the speaker of the house pointed out, tea-party backed candidates may have lost but their ideas team to have won. they have successfully moved the republican party to the right. that was its genesis, entire reason for ex

miller. >> i'm alix steel. >> the cats are away. >> let's start with breaking news on housing. new home sales for april hitting the wire. mikeckee is with us. it looks to be at 6%. lessat would seem to be than forecast. you have to look at the revision pretty commerce department revised the last year's new-home sales numbers. that pushed up the march number. march had fallen off a cliff. now it is much better. it had been a 14% decline. it is nothing like that now. the increase is good. 14%.% decline instead of the increase looks better than it might have otherwise. we did ask three questions about this report earlier. here is what we can tell. the first question was, was it the winter effect? hard to know because new-home sales did not increase in the northeast. you would think that would have happened because the storms were over. there were storms in the midwest and south. whetherconclusive on there might have been more home buying. more people bought at the lower end of the scale this month. it looks like we are seeing the kind of momentum we want to see in housing starting to build. maybe not as good as people thought,

miller, chairman of the house committee on veterans affairs, calls the va's reaction quote outrage and criticizes the department for not doing anything until yesterday. also, former arkansas republican governor and fox news host mike huckabee says president obama should fire his secretary of veterans affairs. >> i think shinseki needs to go. not because he's personally responsible. he is ultimately responsible and at some point, you have to say we're cleaning house, we're going to bring people in that are going to go top to bottom, we're going to get to the heart of this. we're going to fix it. >> on thursday, prior to yesterday's revelations, the white house said the president has quote, complete confidence in shinseki. uma? >> thank you very much. >>> first lady michelle obama takes the mike away for the president, which is usually set aside for his weekly address to the nation, speaking out on the heartbreaking plight of those missing nigerian schoolgirls abducted by terrorists. a social media campaign now bringing people across the globe together to take part in a major twitter campaign calling for the return of those young ladies. with the first lady posting her own picture this week on her own twitter feed,

miller. he's the ranking republican on the house veterans affairs committee. last night the ranking democrat, mike, released a statement basically saying it is time for shinseki to go. when the ranking democrat says that, that's pretty much a sign that it is time to move on. let me read you from his letter. this is mike mashad. democrat now, with a heavy heart that i call on secretary shinseki to step down. democrats and republicans alike, all want to get to the bottom of what exactly is broken with the va system. instead, one man has become the focal koint. it's time to move forward. that one man, kate, is speaking this morning here in washington, d.c. he's got a speech or he's going to make some comments about fighting the homeless vet problem. that's at 8:30 this morning. really i think a lot of the media are going to show up just to see what happens and when, not if, general shinseki resigns. >> that is a good question. what's going to happen to him is a good question. but i know the question you are also asking and we need to continue asking, then what? if he steps down, how then is the syste
