Nonprofit group, organizing for action creating at least the apaerns of a conflict of interest because at the time she was also responsible for officialover sight of their tax exempt status. Quote, during the same time period, learner was engineering a denial and audit of cross roads gps. She had a favorable position towards leftleaning groups. In response to a news story abo the formation of organizing for action she remarked quote, maybe i can get the d. C. Office job, end quote. Congressman dave camp indicated that laws have been broken and that no one in the administration is serious about holding anyone responsible. Look, this was a career employee in the irs. So we have to make sure that the signal goes out that this cant happen again. And again, if we dont stand up for peoples Constitutional Rights on behalf of the american people, who else will . Learner tomorrow will also be the subject of a Congress Vote in the House Oversight committee. They released what they call evidence of collusion between learner and Elijah Cummings. They claim the irs have released internal emails showing them contacting ms. Learner directly inquiring about specific conservative nonprofit advocates as far back as august of 2012, a claim that has cummings repeatedly and vee mentally denying. He most recently denied those charges in february of this year. We want to get to the bottom of how these coincidences happened. And were going to try to figure out if there was any staff of this committee that might have been involved and putting through the vote on the radar screen. We dont know that. But were going to do everything we can do to try to get to the bottom of how did this all happen. Want to thank the gentleman for his courtesy. What she just said is absolutely incorrect and not true. This is the same congressman who compared chairman issa to joe mccarthy in a press release. Our first guest tonight will vote on contempt charges against learner tomorrow. He says its simple when you have a duly issued subpoena, you must comply with it. That is the law and it is not optional he says. Joining us now, congressman, a member of the House Oversight and government reform committee. Well get kicked off by 9 00 and there will be a lot of flailing arms. But ultimately its about this 21page document i have in my hand which demonstrates clearly lois lerner waived her fifth amendment rights when she testified before congress and then subsequently tried to invoke the fifth amendment. As my colleague and chairman issa and others pointedous, she waived her fifth amendment rights. She has to answer. Were left with no option but to hold her in contempt of congress, refer that to the full house, and hopefully have a vote on that before the end of the month. Congressman Elijah Cummings saying that Darrell Issas basically joe mccarthy 2014, and at the same time cummings is charged with directly intervening in the affairs of the committee and going directly to lois lerner. Your reaction. I dont like it when it gets too personal. I remember Speaker Boehner when i first got to congress, which wasnt too long ago said, you know what . You can disagree, just dont be disagreeable. I think sometimes when it gets to be too personal when they try to call someone or equate them to joe mccarthy, in that era, i think that steps over the line a little bit. We just need to look at the facts, and the facts remain that these conservative groups were targeted repeatedly, and when you have through the vote and some of these other organizations, police inget breath who is as best we can tell a good upstanding citizen, she was clearly targeted, you have correspondence with lois lerne that Tea Party Groups are, quote unquote, dangerous, those types of things, youve got to deal with it very seriously. Very serious treatment. We talked with her on this show. She is entirely credible. What has been remarkable as the failure, frankly, of the government to respond in a positive wi to her and that she had to endure along with so many other leaders of overorganizations, conservative organizations for such a long eriod of time. Lois lerner talking about a job with president obamas organizing nonprofit, organizing for action, while she was in charge of oversight and irs for those tamxexempt organizations. Your thoughts. I think the ways and committees under dave camp has done the right thing. This is a criminal referral. Its been dealt with very seriously. If this is not dealt with in a serious way by the department of justice, nothing will be. Clearly theres a pattern of prejudice here in something thats supposed to be nonpartisan. The irs is supposed to be separate than everything el but clearly was not. And to the point where she was actually, you know, making this exclamation that perhaps she could get this other job because of it, remember, she was the federal election committee, the fcc kmirks and then brought over to be in the United States and then they had the assistance united ruling and suddenly her ought attitude toward conservative groups shows up in daytoday paperwork. We had testimony. Two people, one who had been there nearly 50 years, unbelievable like that. They had never, ever seen anything like this. Its disparaging. A lot of good people at the irs. We need to root out that bad apple and think chairman dave camp did the right thing. Irs, the dallas office, the office of special counsel, investigating those. Finding a commonplace in the dallas irs office saying basically it looked like a Campaign Office for president obama. The dhs, department of homeland security, with backdoor jobs, trying to subvert federal hiring rules. There seems to be a want don disregard of regulation, of common sense and good judgment here at the very least, and at yesterdays hearing, judiciary, eric holder wagging his finger at congressman Louis Gohmert saying you dont want to go there, buddy, when saying that it didnt seem the attorney general is particularly well, he said it wasnt a big deal. It didnt appeal to be a big deal. What is your thought, congressman . Well, if you go back specific to this case, remember, it was president obama who went, i believe it was in the east room and they were going to root this out and if there was anything wrong, theyll find it. You had the attorney general holder who started a crinal investigation. And then before the criminal investigations even completed, the president goes on and in an interview and says there wasnt even a smidgen of corruption or possible corruption. How did he come the that conclusion before the attorney general and the department of justice did . I mean it just does not add up. There was a lot of smoke there. The committees have done proper investigation. Theyre going get a criminal referral and probably tomorrow were going to vote on a contempt proceeding here in the house that will then go to full house. But come on. This is something that affects democrats and republicans. Principle is principle, lou. If its right one way, its going to be right the other way, and the house is doing the right thing. Congressman, as always, good to talk with you. Thanking for being here. Thanks, lou. When it comes to upholding the law and the constitution, our attorney general says he has a vast amount of discretion. And is al sharpton an fbi snitch . And personal security expert and investigator bo deed well their views next. Why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york . I tell people its for the climate.

Also with us private investigator former new York Police Department detective, Fox News Contributor bo dietl. Great to have you here. And because youre way out there, mercedes, let me start with you. Lois lerner, apparently facing now criminal charges. How how do you think this will go . Well, its amazing that she seems to think that she is above the law. Anyone that testifies before congress is required to state the facts and answer truthfully. Shes refusing to answer. And, frankly, last night it was said very quickly its obvious that the irs targeting the tea party. Its obvious that the law was broken. If youre the head of the irs, lerner, you have to come forward and give the facts. You have to come forward and comply with whats being asked of you and you have to comply with the investigation. Why is it shes suddenly above the law, shes not going to be required to set forth any testimony . Thats why congress is holding her in contempt and ultimately in the Justice Department does what theyre supposed to do, we dont know. Well have to see what eric holder does, she will be held in criminal contempt. She has a right to the fifth amendment, the right not to incriminate herself. Heres the problem. She went on. She said i didnt do anything wrong. Im innocent. Nothing that the irs did was wrong. You cant do that. With fifth amendment, you say name, rank, and serial number and that is it. She didnt to that. Shes trying to have her cake and eat it too. We have losers in this country and if they commit a crime, that i should be prosecuting. 80 times doesnt remember. All of a sudden everybody gets amnesia. Ive got to pay my taxes and irs. I dont want them singling me out because im a Fox News Contributor. This is wrong and they should get to the bomb of it. Who is the attorney general . Eric holder. Hes the one. Of course. Lous talking about will she be held in criminal contempt. You know how that works. It goes through the House Committee and the house and then where does it go . The attorney general. Thats why im talking about referring the criminal prosecution to the Justice Department and the fact is we now know that the head of the irs, the General Council and their top officials have lied throughout trying to assert the idea that this was just, you know, they were also targeting liberal groups. We now learn from whistle blowers and other sources they didnt target a singe liberal group. Mercedes, at some point is there not an accountability for Public Servant who lied to congress and the american people. Oh, absolutely. But if eric holder is going to be the with unwho determines if lois lerner is held in criminal contempt and is charged, its all up to him. What do they do . Use the powers of the vote. Thats the only power that u. S. Citizens th s that they have. The sorriy son of a guns get away with that, unbelievable. Now al sharpton being a snitch for decades here. This is not new news. I was in new york city. At that time i knew fat a. M. Then. We used to call him fat al because he was fachlt now hes skinningy. Hes skinny, bo. He was caught on the video talking about buying kilos of coke. When we get them, we flip them and make them an informant and what happens is you use them. Use them for information. He was involved in the music industry, with king. When you say king the point is this is not new news. He was flipping like fresh flounder in a frying pan. What is new news is the degree is al sharpton. If he has done all the things he has been reported to be done by smoking gun and others, he deserves a ticker tape parade. Wait a second. Wait a second. I was a federal prosecutor. Never did somebody come in and say, you know, i want to tell you all these things, versus ive got something on him. Send the guys out and say, if you dont come to me and you keep using him. Thats right. Thats how you wash away all your sins. And he keeps giving them information. And they keep sending him out. Hes like a rat. They put a Little Cheese there. He goes and he eats the cheese. But he says hes been a victim though. Thats whats amazing. How many victims come forward to law enforce mnlts and say im being victimized. I want you to tape me up, wire me up, and im going to go out and catch the bad guys. Thats generally nuts. Is there any possibility hes still on the federal payroll . I wouldnt put anything past him. This is when he was going on around with the tijuana brawly hooks. Hes going to be with our president , his best friend, his gum ba. Hes going to be with him here on friday in new york. He was with him in the super bowl. Hes in the white house more than the president is in the white house. This is his best buddy. Whos doevg the research on this thing . I guess eric holder. Hell hold a contempt hearing. He was held in sanctions. Hes the only cabinet official they sanctioned. I love the thing he did today, eric holder, mercedes. Dont you think that dont go there, buddy. What the heck did he say to her . You dont want to go there, buddy . I think he got a little bit angry. Unsfwleevl were not used to that kind of thing in new york when they act that way. No. Bo dietl, thank you all for being with us. Up next, what drove one of our soldiers to commit the ft. Hood shootings, and why are 22 of our veterans each and every day committing suicide . Leading [ male announcer ] when fixed income experts. Work with equity experts. Who work with regional experts. Thats when expertise happens. Mfs. Because there is no expertise without collaboration. Psychiatrist and member of the fox ateam, dr. Keith ablow. Good to have you here. Good to be here. Lets talk about the shooting at ft. Hood and ivan lopez. I was talking the other night. He was defending the Mental Health care and the standards. This is such a tragic and recurring pattern and series of events. What is going on in your judgment . Well, its hard to defend a system of Mental Health care when we just have had another case of somebody whose undertreatment, right, and in this case kills three servicemen. So if this were a private hospital, right, not in the military and this had occurred at the hospital, believe me, theyd be questioning what went on, who were the clinicians, is this representative of a systemwide problem . What did we miss . And the military should be looking at what are we missing. One thing they may be remiss about is the emphasis on resiliency in the military. Theres an emphasis on getting back to work, on coping wur pron them, right . So dont focus on your trauma. Try to avoid thinking about that. Everything i know about psychiatry tells me thats a recipe for disaster because eventually some number of people will boil over with the things theyve tried to stuff down. Youve got to talk about these things. And obviously the military has Treatment Centers and doctors and those available, psychologists to help, but in this case, as you point out, and it happens in civilian life as well, the military, they missed an opportunity to treat a person. Seemingly so. We dont have all the records. But if thats the case, perhaps the military suffers from the same trouble that psychiatry in general does because they have to pull their clinicians from the greater pool of psychiatrists. Psychiatry has lost its status as a listening art. Theyre grabbing their prescription passed, seeing patients in rapidfire, no pun intended here, and the fallout from that is that people are left behind, and with the number of suicides among veterans and the rest of it, we know there is a problem. 22 veteran as day commit suicide in this country. Thats an astonishing number. And it seems to go without remark or response. Well, perhaps because the system itself is so fresh, people dont have the will to resurrect it. The system worked better before. Its working less well now. And if anybody deserves Gold Standard care, it ought to be veterans. Absolutely. So many of them have been in combat, have been traumatized. So if we cant muster the wherewithal to follow up with veterans and safeguard them and their families because every suicide represents lots of other people, kids who are affected, who lose their dads or their moms. If we cant do it for them. Then the whole system is broken because it ought to be the best for veterans. Doctor, i want to turn to something that to me is an astonishingly good news report. That is paralysis may not last forever, folks. This is an incredible report. A team of researchers at the university of louisville and university of los angeles, california, working with scientists from the Pavlov Institute of physiology in russia have found a way at least in four instances to at least mitigate the impact of paralysis, and im going to let you describe it because youre the expert, how excited we should be about this. This is a showstopper. Where do you go from here . This is one of those things where you say, wow. All of the efforts of researchers, all the money poured into these things, the taxes that we pay, where is it best manifested as worthwhile . In a headline like that, that doctors can get people up out of their wheelchairs, to no longer be paralyzed by spinal cord injuries potentially, four out of four patients up and out of their wheelchairs. Its stunning, its incredible, and were going to hear more things like this from medical technology. And these four men have all regains bladder and bowl control, sexual function, and the ability to regulate their Blood Pressure and body temperature even when the epidural stimulation device is not running. Incredible. Epidural is an electrical charge. Its an lek montreal stimulator that by paess where the spinal cord has been injured. Some of funding came from the Christopher Reaves foundation. I dont have the name right. Right. If youre looking for the strange ways that god may work, the fact that this great family took his injury and turned it into something where they said we dont want people to suffer with this anymore, and four people are up out of their wheelchairs it could be 4,000 in a year or 40,000 in two. It is one of those breakthroughs. Its so dramatic and so wonderful, i think i mean i would love to see president obama seize the moment and throw everything weve got at it for all of those people who could benefit. Wouldnt that be a great . Nt wouldnt it be a great for the president to go on tv and say this is an example of american commitment and American Ingenuity joining with other researchers around the world. And russia. And russians, but lets get a pat on the back from our president. I dont know if well hear that because the president doesnt want us to feel exceptional. This is an exceptional moment. Maybe he will forgive the pun. Make an exception this time. Perhaps. Dr. Ablow, thanks for being here. Thank you. Appreciate it. Great seeing you. Another bush for president. Is america ready . Jeb bush says illegal immigration is just the way Illegal Immigrants show their love. Love. John fund and mat why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york . I tell people its for the climate. The conditions in new york state are great for business. New york is ranked 2 in the nation for new private sector job creation. And now its even better because theyve introduced startup new york dozens of taxfree zones where businesses pay no taxes for ten years. Youll get a warm welcome in the new new york. See if your business qualifies at startupny. Com for president george w. Bush matt slap and former columnist john lunt. Jeb bush talking about illegal immigration is an act of love. Is that some sort of deep heavy symbolism or just what is it . Look, hes got a long record on immigration and he was a very popular governor of florida which has a very diverse population, maybe the most in the country and i think he was tellings us what he thinks on the issue. Hes not going to be able to change his opinion on immigration. Hes out there, hes public, and hes talking about it publicly and i think as he thinks about the president ial race, hes seen what the reaction is. And what do you think the reaction is to the governors act of love comment . I dodge know. Im waiting to see what john says. Here we go. Lets withhold the suspense. Jeb bush. This is not how you play president ial politics. I think he is enjoying getting out there and being talked about as a albrightonal candidate. Hes lar boring some believe that maybe the skies will part and he can run. But you dont say things like this and survive in republican primaries. And just what does happen here . He in the latest surveys doesnt register. s at the middle of the pack. Leading the people in the Republican Party are senator rand paul, governor Mike Huckabee at the top of the pack. Right. Its about at that type the establishment types i will not include you in the establishment types unless you want to be part of the club no, thank you. They had to act quickly and get jeb bush out on the stage publicly. You know, lou, this race for the republican nomination has never been as open like this since the 1950s. We dochlkt have the next finishing candidate ready to go. And so people are looking aet the field. And, of course, theyre nervous. Theyre matching it against Hillary Clinton whos, you know, a bit of a democratic powerhouse. So i think the fact that people turn to jeb bush as a potential candidate makes a lot of sense. Hes be a great candidate and i hope he runs. But think john is right. If he runs, hes going have to have a serious plan, and hes going to have to, you know, make sure that what he says needs to be done for the future of the country is consistent with where conservatives in our party want to go. As i hear matt talking here, im thinking, my gosh, they need a white knight in the Republican Party because they even got two candidates doing particular well who are not sort of typical establishment canonized candidates that are the want of the Republican Party. It seem like the healthier way to go but the establishment is having a bit of a reflex problem. Those of this watching know that were not going to know until the end of the election. Thats what dictates who runs and how they decide to run. Frankly all of this is very premature. Ill just tell you right now. This is a healthy competition. I agree with matt. The Republican Party does not have healthy competition. It always goes to the next person in line. Thank goodness for competition. Well see how they perform and the voters will ultimately be able to decide. Would jeb bush be the next person in line . No, because the last thing a country of shall we say individualual lists want is two families bush and clinton running for a whole generation. He was chiefly the problem. Having bush and clinton all over again goes against everything antidainius tick country stands for . One thing i think were going to see candidates emerge who were not talking about now. I think its good that this race is wide open. I think were going to have a great conversation about ideas and thing jeb bush is going to be a part of that conversation whether hes kaejt or not. Those will helpful, kibitzing from the sidelines. I know that isnt what you said, matt. Please, lou. Ill be nice. As we conclude the discussion. Thats all. Thanks so much for being here.

Com fascinating new documentary to tell you about. My next guest taking a look at the decline of manufacturing in america, its impact on the economy. How often do we really think about all the different elements that go into making a baseball game . Just how american is americas pastime these days . The truth is in an increasingly Global Economy it takes manufacturers from all over the world to make thingses necessary to have baseball game. Are you kidding me . Americas pastime, were globallydependent . Joining me now the writer and producer of the American Made move, vin vecent vittorio. Good to have you. Thanks for having me. Youve got to be kidding. You know, with live in a different world now where so many of the parts come from so many different places where its not just one product from one country, so to speak. Well, not one product from one country, but i mean were talking about offshoring, outsourcing, were talking about rather than comparative advantage which is typically ideal lis particularly and ideally what should be going on, a country that can produce the best at the cheapest price prevailed. But that isnt really whats happening, is it . Well, you know, we used to be known as the country that made these superior products. We were it. You look at world war ii. There wasnt any competition. Now the Playing Field has changed and we have to compete with these other countries and were taking into effect with labor costs and, you know, the strength of our dollar and the way in which we have these competing forces. So, you know, we just went through this thing with general motors. We find out just about 770 of the parts are made somewhere else. Im not quite sure i understand how that works. Help me out. Why are we producing so much overseas . I understand that chinas a big market, so build a plant there and sell into the market, i get that. But what about our middle class . What about our working men and women in this country who need to be making a you know, a living wage and supporting their families and building a futuresome. We the American Made movie takes a look at how we as consumers can take a vested interest in this. Weve seen democrats and republicans talking about bringing back manufacturing. It sounds good but at the end of the day, theres no action. What we do at the end of the day is show consumers how they can take a vested interest in their local economy, state economy or this country to bring things back. And to create jobs for a middle class thats getting its butt kicked. Were watching this middle class in this country just get slapped around and they dont have an advocate or democratic party. They dont have an advocate in the rupp party. Do you think that will change . You know, im hopeful. I think it will. I think that it really goes back to the consumer because we are all a part of this. Sure we are. Not just our votes. But for the cheapest price, whether its made in romania, china, russia, wherever it may be, and not focusing on quality, not willing to pay that extra 10 cents or a dollar. Its also about the brand. You know, that made in america brand is becoming sexy. Lebron james gets paid millions of dollars to support a shoe company when people can just employ americans to make things in this country and they get that label. Thats going to make people feel more behind that product to say im going to support people because its all about jobs.

It is an its an exciting almost incredible medical breakthrough that may mean a difference for millions of americans who are paralyzed, who have spinal injuries. A team of doctors were able to restore some voluntary movement for four men who were told they would never move their legs again or a co again. For a complete understanding of this groundbreaking development were joining by one of the fellow researchers. She is dr. Claudia angeli, assistant director of university of louisville spinal Cord Research center and the studys first participant rob summers who was paralyzed in a 2006 accident. Great to have you both here. I want to say congratulations. The people have got to be wondering what this really means, the idea that those who are parablized could suddenly have movement, have sensory feeling return. Tell us about it, doctor. Yeah, that is correct. One of the very unexpected results was when we implanted first rob and hes the one that actually found out for us that he could voluntarily move. We were doing testing for something completely different. He had the simulation on. He was a little bored at the time, and he tried to move his toe and his toe moved. Did you think he was messing with you . Yes. So we asked him to do it again and again and again. And he moved. Every time we asked him to move. What was coursing through your mind as that occurred . I was sitting there with my head trainer, and we were in the middle of an experiment and started laughing and i was moving my toe. And i was like, look, i can move it on kplanld. I am controlling this. And drrk hark ma and dr. Claudia looked over and said, no, this is serious time. Pay attention. I said, i think this is pretty cool, you want to check this out. I can move my toes on command. And they said, no, you cant. What was different on that day in that moment than any other day previous medically . . Medically there was nothing different. The initial study was developed around standing and stepping so we never thought that voluntary activity was going to get restored with epidural stimulation, so we never thought about asking them to even move. So it was something that rob just did at the time. What is the difference in treatment . What is this break through and what is it and how does it do it . The difference now, we know now with the three individuals that we implanted from when rob was implanted was that you actually do not need the training to regain the voluntary activity. So the next three individuals were able to move the first time we asked them to move. The first time. When the simulation was on, yes. Incredible. And what were doing is pretty much waking up the spinal cord and making it aware of the signals that are coming down from the brain. And the brain only has to send a very simple command to or intent to move and then the spinal cord takes care of all the details. How much of your body functions have been restored that previously were paralyzed . Well, previously i had no movement from the chest down and very little feeling, very little sensation. Since the epidural simulator, ive been able to stand independe independently. Ive been able to with the simulator on regain the movement in my ankles, toes, knees, hips, and even most recently been able to do situps, full situps, core and trunk rotations as well as regain the sensation of hot, cold, sharp touch, dull touch, even most recently been able to feel the breeze against my legs and even the tickling sensation as well as the autonomic functions that people dont necessarily think about, bladder function, bowl function, sexual function. All restored. All restored. And do you have to have the epidural stimulator there in the course of the day throughout . How does that work . No. For the functions that he just described, those are secondary functions that were finding are showing improvement and those improvements are lasting even after the stimulator is off. Incredible. I was just thinking secondary functions. I bet rob doesnt call them secondary functions. Probably not. This a great great, great congratulations and thanks to you. Just a miracle, is it not . It really is. And it leadsing to greater quality of life today for myself and ultimately so many others who live day to day with paralysis. Four people, four very special people elected for this initial research, how quickly can it be expanded to those . There are an estimated 6 Million People with spinal cord injuries in this country. Were going to increase the sample size by another four. Thats our next step. Try to reproduce the results. Then we were going slowly try to move this into the clinic. We have some hurdles in terms of technology, but were trying to address those as well and trying to develop a new stimulator and hopefully this will become a clinical treatment in the short run.
