it's a bigger problem in the va because the va has been more heedless and less willing to change than the department of defense. so the department of defense in 2012, approximately, said, we're no longer going to allow combat troops to have like a friendly sleep aide, sarah -- seraquel in their backpacks and put road blocks to free, wheeling prescribing seraquel for anything on earth but the va has not done that. despite their own research of excellent researchers, including a dough lab -- co collaborator offices you, showing that seraquel and -- they studied -- in general the class of antipsychotic is is not effective. the real harm is nicer no real effort to keep an accurate count of the degree to which the massive overmedication with psychiatric meds and opiates is contributing to needly overdose deaths, only sparing academic coverage, and there's very striking report that just came out by researchers at a south texas va hospital. it's not a mud book but going to be in a fourth coming piece that shows there's a 400% increase of accidental overdose likelihood or suicidal actions or

they put some roadblocks to freewheeling describing of the sleep aid but the va hasn't done that. despite their own research of some excellent research including collaborative of yours, one of the country's great psychiatric -- showing that they studied the class of antipsychotics is not effective. what to me is the real harm is there is no real effort to keep an accurate account of the degree to which the massive overmedication of psychiatric meds and until recently opiates is a contributing to the less overdose deaths and there's only been sparing academic coverage and there's a very striking report that just came out by researchers at the south texas va hospital that it's not in my book but it will be in a forthcoming new newsweek piece of that there's a four 100% increase of accidental overdoses, likelihood or suicidal actions or suicide based on polypharmacy which means five or more central nervous system medication drugs. i look at the scandal which is known within some sectors but not on the east coast in general where in wisconsin you have a drug oriented chief of staff hel

their own solution, dismantle the va, privatize the va health care system, put veterans into the healthstem and put them in the -- it is a system that veterans don't want taken away. so veterans groups have raised alarm bells about conservative efforts to privatize the va in the past. most notably in 2015, ben carson proposed private advertiizing tn his run for the presidency. now heads up. now the donald trumptrump admin va came out with this vaguely worded health care proposal, they're calling it the veteran's health care rewarding experience act. it represents the quarter million va employees, they say this is basically euphemistic code for privatizing the va, they call it a total dismantling of the va, it's voucherizing veterans health care. now this is just arizin. this has just been proposed by the va, veterans groups have not come out in full force to say whether or not they agree with this. but the veterans committee in the house will hold a hearing, we expect that veterans will be on hand to testify. if you have been like me watching this for the past few years, conservative gr

as the role of the va expand as well? it certainly does and it's very a property today as you probably know is the 34th anniversary of us losing 2001 e. when marines in lebanon one of the worst days were the marines since world war ii and then when we look at the more recent loss of these four brave soldiers that va is there to help support the families and to make sure we are doing everything possible to give them the security in the comfort that they deserve going forward because we know when young men and women raise their hand to go out and defend our country it's really the entire country -- the entire family that's raising their hand. charles: secretary david shulkin thank you very much and i want to bring in former green beret commander colonel michael waltz and a "fox news" contributor. let's start with niger and the ambush there. we heard general dunford having press conference about this and it sounded like he was very straightforward and it sounded like he bent over backwards answer questions for the press. the

i wanted to the i can ask about the va's reach initiative. models to identify veterans who may be at risk of suicide. i want you to tell us how that model works. also 14% of the veterans who die by suicide do not come to the va for care. >> that is a big data analytic research project. i said it's time to stop researching it and start putting it into practice. senator tester's point about every day we delay there's going to be more deaths. so we have moved it into the clinical setting. how are you doing, how can we potentially help you? and i meet with those people. dr. carroll has more contact, of course. it's making a difference. i don't have statistics. >> are you working with local groups and providers and non-va agencies? >> no. we do not have that data. we have no way of identifying the 14 in the community. that's a big issue for us. >> yeah. >> i think expanding va access in mental health will save lives. that's what i made the decision on other than honorable discharges to do that. we have a big hole here. one of the big holes is with

he noted that the va has a problem with recruiting mental health professionals and asked the committee for increased hiring authorities. this hearing is two hours and 20 minutes. >> let me call this meeting of the senate veterans committee, this hearing to order. thank all of you for coming today. especially our witnesses. we have a number of members who are on the way, but we're going to in the interest of time, we're going to get started. today's hearing is about the issue of suicide. as many people in the room know, this month in america is national suicide prevention month across the country. suicide is a terrible, terrible, terrible loss and wasteful loss of life, and preventable loss of life. i think john will remember when we first came in as a committee three years ago, our first bill that we passed was the clay/hunt suicide prevention bill. passed this committee 99-0, and we'll ask the secretary and the other members from the v.a. to give us any report they might have on the progress of the implementation in terms of the act, but it's a very important act. in august of 2014, i

i was honored to stand behind him as he signed it and the secretary has said the va secretary said they're to fire this individual and it's going to happen a lot quicker than it did in the past so that's good news but there is still a lot of work to do. we've dealt with the accountability personnel side and now we need to work on the healthcare side in particularly given veterans choice to take care benefits in the private sector so they aren't stuck in facilities where they're mistreated and aren't receiving the highest quality of care possible. >> charles: michael back to you on this whole thing from the way this is being politicized and obviously representative listen ing in on the phone conversation, it's bizarre at the minimum offensive, you know, for a lot of other people and yet i don't think it's going to die down. >> it should. i've looked at some of the comments since general kelly gave his speech and i was surprised at a lot of the negative comments saying he threw the marine corps under the bus and should resign based on his comments. this is a general once again sacrificing fo

brian: you have been in both private hospitals and the va hospital. do people who are working there know what it sounds like, all the noise in the background and can anything be done about it if you do not like it? sherman: i don't think they know because when you say they, the staff, they are the ones making the noises. , when youear laughter state ofe lowest mystery you can bn and you hear people laughing in hallways and caring on and you hear people , is itg in the hallways happy, sad? it is a cacophony of confusion. because you're paralyzed, you already feel like you have given up control. it is usually in darkness it is more pronounced and it does not stop until you fall asleep. i am sure everybody means well. no one means to make it bad. that is just the way hospitals are. that is why i prefer not to be in them, to be frank about it. but i think that, the experience for me, the noises is what i took away from that experience. brian: you found yourself in the white house right next to the president of the united states. we will watch this and ask

we look at the va system. eople in my office, veterans we assisted any given time. they do not manage well with the socialists won as one payer systems the government manages. now, we want to relegate this back to the states, give freedom and choice to the american people. arthel: congressman, i'm running out of time, but quickly do you feel if we put the power back into the individuals they come i do feel some states will be in the short of that deal? >> now, it will be very driven out they are in way that is fair. it isn't fair today in terms the per capita amount of money that given, for example, for medicaid and needs to be given on a per capita basis. some states have far more medicaid funding was much less population. the wii will do a fair system, but what the president is driving towards and i compliment him with great leadership in terms of making sure that we repeal and replace the so we provide a market-driven health care system that will drive prices down to competition. arthel: have to leave it the

we had 350,000 employees in the va. eren't doing what was appropriate. you are seeing a va that is a transforming that is reforming that is tackling the tough issues. in all of this year taking this on. in addition to what has been an incredible business environment for j and j and also the have of the tax plan that we are getting. is it working. >> there's a lot of change going on in healthcare. what were really excited about is the rapid transformation of science that we are seen. more precision medicine and better understanding was some with some of the underlying disease. we are seen incredible breakthroughs. when i came into this industry if you are diagnosed with hiv you may have two years to live. today if treated with the appropriate drug regimen can only take two years after the average life span. you've been focused on hiv obviously. the pharmaceutical sector and shifting it more toward the pharmaceutical towards the pharmaceutical sector is really interesting. to get your take on this deal that was announced.

the plea of guilty sufficient? >> i think it is hard to say because there's va benefits tied into this. not only is it possible prison time but if he gets the dishonorable discharge, then he loses the benefits. that's where the issue comes in, where he can't get mental health help from the va. he can't get medical treatment from the va, that sort of thing. i'm curious to see if that issue is going to come into play. >> during the campaign, president trump said he thought bergdahl should be executed. in an interview obtained by abc, bergdahl told a british film maker last year that he would never get a fair trial because of trump. i want to share that. >> -- back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs that got what they wanted. the people who are to the point of saying, just shoot him, you can never convince those people to change their minds. >> does it hurt still? >> it does hurt. >> does mr. bergdahl have a point? >> i think he does to some extent. high words from a draft dodger who insults gold-star families, from trump. but there was a lot of public trial for that. that's to be expected,

up every morning and my son is a combat veteran from afghanistan, he's getting the run around from the vand here i got to send billions of dollars to a corrupt country like puerto rico. i'm not mother teresa. >> can i ask you, do you not consider puerto rico part of the united states? >> it's a territory, yes, sir. but they were corrupt and they were bankrupt. and they didn't keep up their infrastructure for the last 25 years. and then i got to spend billions of dollars to some nation. >> got your point. >> congressman? >> jim, i must remind you that puerto ricans are u.s. citizens, that it is a u.s. territory. there are many of them like your son have served in the armed forces and many of them have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and that have died for us in times of war and conflict. so puerto rico is a territory. we must treat them as full-fledged u.s. citizens. they deserve to have the rights and privileges that any state in the united states or any territory of the united states is offered by our government. and we saw how this terrible storm and previous storms devastate

he turned to researchers at the va in seattle and they enrolled him in a new protocol. but unlike traditional treatment programs, jeff was started on oral buf norfein immediately. the results, he stopped using heroin right away. but still sometimes experienced strong cravings for opioids. so researchers adjusted his treatment, giving him an additional evidence based to bring those under control i'm thrilled to tell you he has not usesed heroin for several months, not homeless and holding down a regular job. i don't want to give the impression his story is typical or easy. many have different stories and they need different interventions but it does show how research can provide a wider array of options. addiction is a powerful force, driven by the way opioids can rewire the brain. when people suffering from addiction seek help, we owe it to them. research can help us get there. there currently are three fda approved medications for opioid use disortder. but relapse rates are way too high. and more options are needed to end this epidemic. we need to understand which indiv

if you're getting your healthcare through the va, if you're in the military, you're in the british system, socialized medicine, if you're getting your healthcare or your insurance from your employer, you're in the german system, if you have no insurance at all, you're in the cambodian system. (audience laughing) and the point of obamacare was to get people from the cambodian system into one of the other systems. - [evan] into something else. - yeah, and that's what we did. now, there were some of us who would've gone, wanted to go to single-payer at that time. bernie sanders was leading that at that time. - well, you've now supposed senator sanders' medicare for all bill. - yeah, but the time, and we're still in the same situation, at the time, you needed 60 votes and we were about 55 votes short so-- (audience laughing) that was not an option. - so you're saying there's a chance. (audience laughing) - well, i'm saying there's not a chance now exactly but the thing where norm coleman was wrong is that actually, every other developed country has universal healthcare, they don't all have si

i think we also have to look at the va secretary, look at vine zinke, and the famous case of mnuchin,reasury secretary and his wife who had to explain why they were traveling on private jets. i think the president is upset with tom price for failure to get rid of obamacare. howie: other news organizations didn't join in the digging. very little on fox. why do you think that was? >> partly because jet travel from administrative officials is not news. it's been going on for many officials. howie: at this level? susan: the day price announced his resignation is the day we learned about the trips to europe. all the emphasis on trump and the jet travel. where was this careful examination during the obama administration. leon panetta used to fly home every weekend to the tune of 1800,000. i never knew how -- at the tune of $800,000. howie: it's true a number of obama officials used private jets. this guy is running the health department. but it's also true that those earlier examples were not as big a story. katie: the obama administration didn't have a mantra or slogan of making sure taxpa

two new proposals would give veterans wider access to private care and doctors outside the va networkder a house proposal they would still need approval to switch to private care. the proposal would leave that up to doctors and patients. better care always a good thing. foxbusiness alert, winning, donald trump delivering on another key campaign promise. >> we are going to win so much you might get tired of winning and say please, too much winning. heather: i don't we are tired of seeing this, the tao closing at another record high, 23,400, the 54th record high since donald trump took office. don't hear a lot about that. 11 minutes after the top of the hour, illegals caught hopping the border fence when the cameras were rolling come all the proof we need to build that wall. president of the national border patrol council joins us next to react. ♪ wait until you see this. hundreds of college protesters shutting down conservative speakers claiming it as part of their free speech, the demand they are making defending the disruptions. do you think hillary clinton supporters are over losing

bill. >> it's not erroneous that my knee was worked on, it's eroanous to me that the va doesn't pay it. >> yeah, we kneed need to fix td we're committed to working with you to fix that. >> congress enacted the fair credit reporting act in 1970 to set the rules of the road. despite the original act and the many consistent amendments, we still don't control our information contained in the files of the credit bureaus, it's reported without any consumer permission, as has been noted by many, it's also sold to third parties, with prescreened credit and insurance offers and the personal information may now be available to thieves on the dark web after equifax. mr. smith, you're the representative for the association, should consumers have more control over their information? >> well, so we have talked little bit about that today. the ability to remove yourself from the system, the ability to selectively delete information. i think both of those present issues for the national credit reporting system. the selective deletion would allow a consumer to gain a system, to hide unpa

me in the marine corps received assistance in some bills when his medical bills got too high and the vaas instilled in the process of red tape of getting his disability up. so he needed some assistance and hope for the warriors went through. that's a personal story. they haven't been helping veterans over the past ten years. then like i said, transitioning out of the military and mental and overall wellness and keeping veterans engaged would have insisted on organic healing and helps veterans cope with a lot of things they dealt with in the military. >> get a sense that veterans are coming from a very disciplined world? very much into goal setting? do you think the idea of training for a marathon and getting themselves conditioned to run a marathon reallyea >> yes it does. i believe that whether you love the military or not one of the biggest things you have in the military is competition. internal or between branches so setting goals whether it's simple training goals or running so many miles on a training plan is an internal drive to keep veterans occupied and focused on moving forwar

why have you done with the va? why did you let five terrorists go? why is loretta lynch sitting on a big fat pension? >> the reason republicans are doing this is because they are flailing in congress. i think there is smoke. there is a lot of weird stuff going on. republicans aren't getting the legislation they want passed through congress. and this is not -- i think this is to distract them from their legislative failures. kennedy: i agree with you there in that you don't only want to see passion from people in congress when it comes to prosecuting the other side, you want to see tax reform. that doesn't mean that something 0 wrong didn't happen here. and i do want someone to get to the bottom of it. just like you all. we'll get to the party panel a little bit later. sarah huckabee-sanders has announced the administration is going to attempt transparency. but she says she wants the media to do the same thing because she says the white house has to compete with anonymous sources. politico says the president is happy with a poll that shows 4% of americ

education and training and encourage the va to increase information sharing with state licensing boards. i think that's critical. as far of the 21st century act, florida has received over $27 million in grants by increasing access to treatment and recovery services strengthening public health surveillance and improving pain management practices. these are supporting florida's all hands on deck approach across the state to curve opioid abuse and save lives. iumier pleased theed administration are leading the charge on this critical issue. i yield back. thank you. >> mr. butter field for three minutes, please. >> thank you very much. for thank you for the opportunity to address the committee today about the state of the opioid epidemic in my home state of north carolina. and let me just begin by crediting my friend and our former colleague, mary bono, who was also from florida, it was very dear to her and she knew the impact it was having on her state. she brought this to the f forefront of our subcommittee years ago. at first, mr. chairman i thought mary was over reacting to the opioid c

president but most of them have been minor stuff and while he has achieved success in reforms to the va he hasn't come anywhere near a big win like barrack obama's stimulus bill or george w. bush's tax cuts. >> that's not for a lack of trying but after again surrendering the latest balm care repeal effort republicans are desperate to get a win on the board. >> that makes the stakes high for tax reform which is the latest big legislative push. >> but tax reform is likely to be tough going for republicans. trump will probably need help to get the plan passed and if he can't get a biptisan dealar >> he failed to even come for a vote for years. >> i told them i'll be back year after year as painful as it is and as much damage as it wanted to see these people. >> wilson is a democrat but credits republicans with passing a bill. >> it passed and i was very disappointed because many of the people that opposed by bill didn't even have the courage to vote against it. >> that law goes into effect october 1st giving victims of child sex abuse until they're 38 years old instead of 25 to sue. >> you
