Bret, how did all of this come to light . Well, jon, this was the result of a foia request by the Washington Times, the specific story youre talking about in regards to when the Obama Transition Team was briefed about the problems at the va. The other scandals that have, the allegations have come up for at least 11 states now. And investigations are ongoing. So this is snowballing as you have lawmakers on both sides of the aisle calling for more in depth investigations and bringing in the fbi. Jon there is a former member of the va staff, high level staffer, who had this to say to congress a few weeks ago when some of these allegations first came up. I want to play you for this now. To date, we found no evidence of a secret list, and we have found no patient who is have died because they have been on a wait list. That was dr. Robert petzel, undersecretary for Veterans Affairs. He said at the time we havent found any evidence of secret lists. We havent found any evidence that people died waiting for care. Well, now as of friday afternoon, he is officially out, actually ahead of his resignation he got pushed out of the veterans department. Is he going to be sort of the sacroficial lamb for Obama Administration here . He was already scheduled to retire. Jon right. In fact the administration announced a replacement for him. May 1st, they were looking to see who would fill his spot. The fact that the resignation was announced friday afternoon, late in the afternoon, was, republicans on capitol hill doesnt really mean a ton as far as a scalp if you will in this growing investigation. I do think that there are big items here that are going to lead to more pieces of this investigation. The Dayton Daily News over the weekend had another story based on a foia request that said some 167 veterans deaths have been attributed to what they call, quote, a delay in treatment, and that the Veterans Affairs agency has paid out some 37 million in settlements. This is important to point out this goes before the Obama Administration. This is a problem that goes back before the Bush Administration but when you get to 2009, this Washington Times story today suggests that the obamabiden Transition Team was given a pretty detailed brief about the concerns about these waiting times and integrity of the system overall. What happened from then until now i think is the focus of some of these investigations up on the hill. Jon and this was the administration that, you know, was swept into office promising that government could be lean and mean and organized and efficient. That you could use, harness the tools of the age of computer and so forth to really make government effective. That was one of the promises that the president obama offered or candidate obama offered when he was running for president. Yeah. I mean to be fair, understand that the va system is massive and it is only increased as veterans come back from the wars in iraq and afghanistan. The numbers are staggering. I mean 85 million visits to the va every year. And, it is important to point out there are great doctors and nurses in the system but the bureaucracy it seems with these allegations, it increasingly has been a big problem to the point where there may have been delays and these secret lists at different facilities. That is where this investigation is heading. Jon the va is really sort of governmentrun health care in its purest form. I mean, if the government has trouble caring for that segment of the population what does it say about these attempts to handle the insurance claims and Everything Else under the Larger Program of obamacare . Well obamacare supporters would say it is a different story. The critics up on capitol hill would say this is exactly what youre talking about here, is that if as long as it expands, its annalgy of whats to come. This va investigation is being handled basically in and of itself and i think youre going to see more of these whistleblowers coming out as youve seen over last few days. Just over the past few days, albuquerque, new mexico, added to the list, a doctor there saying documents are being destroyed since the phoenix allegation first surfaced. Jon yeah. Expect the president to say more than his white house chief of staff this weekend, that he was madder than hell. Jon it is an issue not going away. Bret baier in washington to keep an eye on it. Bret, thank you. Sure. Just in the Justice Department announcing just a short while ago Cyber Espionage charges against Chinese Military brass. Its the first time criminal charges are being filed against known state actors for hacking. Five people indicted. The charges allege they conspired to hack into u. S. Companies in nuclear power, metals and solar products industries. The men stand accused of gaining unauthorized access to computers and stealing trade secrets and other Sensitive Information that could help chinese companies. Jon also china, no stranger to hacking allegations. According to one report, nearly half of all internet attacks came from china last year. With that country still far and away the chief source of Cyber Attacks around the world. Here are some recent instances n february 2013, a suspected attack from china penetrated dozens of computer servers and work stations at department of Energy Headquarters in d. C. But it is not just Government Agencies that were hit. The media also a big target with the washington post, the wall street journal and New York Times, all coming under attack last year. New developments in the crisis in ukraine. Rush shurn president Vladmir Putin says he has ordered a complete withdrawal of his troops stationed near the border with Eastern Ukraine but nato and other outside observers say theyre not buying it. Greg palkot right now is streaming live from donetsk, ukraine, with more for us. Hi, greg. Reporter patti ann, people have heard this before. So the folks here are a bit skeptical but analysts do say if those 40,000 or so Russian Troops are being pulled back from the border, which is what the spokesman for Vladmir Putin said today, it could mean that this is an effort by russia to try and deescalate the crisis. We found little deescalation on the ground though. A small village near a hotbed militant town was seen of a clash between Ukrainian Military and prorussian separatists. A gas pipeline was hit and blew up. There was fighting over the weekened in another town nearby. We were there today. Take a look at what we saw. We have been speaking to, this town is independent territory. Ukraine and its troops surrounding this place, well, they are foreign. And as for president ial elections planned for ukraine this coming sunday, according to them, they are not happening here. Those crucial elections will be the focus of attention for both side throughout this week. The militants are claiming they will prevent voting throughout Eastern Ukraine. They have already firebomb bed and election offices and kidnapped officials. As for the ukrainian government, they say the vote will go ahead here. It seems theyre stepping up security efforts to try and make that happen. By the way putin has nominally come out in favor of the vote. Analysts here are saying basically he wants somebody in kiev that he can do business with as he tries to shape the reality here. Patti ann. Greg palkot live in ukraine. Thank you. Jon the Nigerian Army which is trying to find those nearly 300 kidnapped schoolgirls may be illequipped to take on the terror group boko haram. That according to an annus my nearian soldier that nigerian soldier told our Sister Network sky news. He said they are outgunned and many soldiers are sent to the field without ammunition and they wait week or months to get bade. Boko haram is growing in strength. Western analysts believe the group is well funded, wellarmed and highly trained. 206 schoolgirls are missing. Boko haram is threatening to sell them into slavery or marry them off. Experts from u. S. And britain and france are all on the ground to help try to find them. Are two first big must have to bring down the entire u. S. Financial system . That is a question being considered today with the financial meltdown of 2008 still fresh in many minds. Peter barnes is with Fox Business Network. He is live from washington with details. Hi, peter. Hey, patti anne. Financial regulators are considering stretching tougher new oversight on big banks to big Investment Management and Mutual Fund Companies, possibly two companies in particular. Regulators have been beefing up the rules for many banks and financial first to make sure that taxpayers dont ever have to bail them out again in another financial crisis. This new group of companies in the crosshairs managed trillions of dollars in mutual fund and other investments for many 401 k accounts, iras and personal investment accounts. Top five are blackrock, van barred, state street a vanguard, state street, fidelity and pimco. Regulators are concerned that two of them. Blackrock and fidelity are so connected with the Financial System they may need to be regulated more as systematically important Financial Institutions or sifis as part of a review by regulators in as Council Called the fsoc. The Treasury Department is holding a public conference on Asset Managers and their activities. The threshold question is, are there risks here that need more oversight . And if there are, what are the appropriate remedies and the fsoc has a whole menu of things it can do but no decisions have been made yet about whether there are risks that need broader oversight and what the steps will be. Reporter now the industry is fighting new regulation. It says Asset Managers and Mutual Fund Companies are not banks and they did not cause the financial crisis. The Investment Company institute says, quote, a Fund Designated as a sifi will face significant additional regulatory costs, costs that will be, that will fall on shareholders. Patti ann . Peter barnes, Fox Business Network live in washington. Thanks. Reporter you bet. Jon there are key primary races around the country. Coming up well preview some contests that could influence the balance of power on capitol hill. Plus a Scary Development in the mers outbreak. A third person testing positive for the disease here in the United States. Well have a live report on that. How would you feel about paying an extra 200 for a premium seat, not on an airliner but at your childs High School Graduation . It is happening at one Florida School and as you can imagine, some parents are not thrilled. It is being discriminatory economically, socially, socioeconomically. It is just not fair. I think that is ridiculous. It should be free. I mean, its sad, if you wouldnt be able to bring all your family members with you. Okay, listen up im reworkin the menu. Mayo . Corn dogs .

Agent joel cox was arrested on may 5th after ammunition was found in his luggage while boarding a plane. A pakistani Government Agency confirms agent cox was authorized to carry the ammo. Another big shakeup in the television business. At t agreeing to buy satellite tv provider directv for roughly 48 1 2 billion dollars. The deal expected to face tough scrutiny in washington. A new policy creating controversy in florida. Students at Manatee High School in bradenton, must pay 20 to participate in their own graduation ceremony. Now the school is charging as much as 200 for what they call premium seating for parents. 200 is a lot of money for preferred seating, you know . Is my child more important than yours . What is the real deal . I think it is because theyre trying to make back money supposedly was lost somewhere that they cant find. Youre skeptical . Yes of the absolutely. Jon that seems ridiculous. I think that is public high school. Patti ann yes. Jon it 200 bucks to get good seats . What happened to get your, butt in the seat early . Patti ann firstcomefirstserve. I like it. That is interesting the woman was talking about some kind of a missing money. Might be more to that story, who knows. Anyway, a Frightening Development in the mers outbreak. Centers for Disease Control identifying the First American to test above for the virus by contagion. Meaning he caught it from a another patient here in the u. S. John roberts live in atlanta. Reporter good morning, patti ann. The centers for Disease Control trying to get handle on full implication what is appears to be the first transmission of in the United States of the corona virus that causes middle east respiratory syndrome. It happened between an indiana doctor, who was the first person to import mers from saudi arabia last month and a business associate. The two had a couple of business meetings, close by still fairly casual contact. They talked with each other, they shook hands. The very next day the indiana doctor became so severely ill he had to be admitted to the hospital. So far the illinois man who apparently transmitted that virus to is doing okay. Dr. David swerdlow is with the cdc. At this time he is reported to have had mild coldlike symptoms but he did not seek or require medical care since exposure to the indiana mers patient. He is currently reported to be feeling well. Reporter is still a lot that centers for Disease Control doesnt know a lot about all this. Whether the man from illinois who had the virus passed from him might be contagious though only showed mild symptoms. The centers for Disease Control asked him for the timebeing to stay away from other people. The cdc is encouraging hospitals across the country to be vigilant about anybody who comes into the emergency room with flulike symptoms after the dr. P. Phillips hospital southwest of orlando left a 44yearold man who imported the second case of mers from saudi arabia in a crowded emergency room waiting room for four hours last week. The centers for Disease Control and hospital had to track down everyone in the emergency room to see if they had systems. The dr. P. Phillips hospital since strucked e. R. Staff to ask anyone coming in with flulike symptoms or bad cold if they have been to saudi arabia. The 44yearold man is doing all right. He was released from the hospital yesterday. The man from indiana was released last week. Keep in mind, this disease causes severe illness from people who fall ill. 30 to 50 of them die. Be very vigilant about this. Very scary. John roberts live in atlanta, thanks. Reporter thanks. Jon every day, thousands of planes are in our skies. Tracking them is aroundtheclock international effort. A rare behindthescenes look at how the government keeps our skies safe. Also, new developments in a very cold case. Police searching for new clues that could help them find a teenager who disappeared 25 years ago. The Police Department is working for amy.

Switch now and add voice and tv for 34. 90. Comcast business built for business. Patti ann Police Searching for a teenager who disappeared nearly 25 years ago are looking for clues in the home where she was raised. 13yearold amy ponyac was last seen in august of 1989. Her parents say she was abducted from a gas station just a few miles from their home. Police are not elaborating on what they are currently looking for inside of that home and they have not identified any suspects. Every day millions of americans climb into one of those aluminum tubes and go flying and there are eyes in the sky tracking every plane in the area airport of a National Defense program, called, operation noble eagle. It scans our airspace for anything that seems out of the ordinary. This as the search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 continues. Malaysias defense minister addressed the failure to scramble jets when that plane first went off course. Laura engle, live in the new york newsroom with details. Reporter hi, jon. Keeping track of every plane in the sky over north america is an intense and daunting task. Operation noble eagle as you mentioned Just Launched days after the attacks on 9 11 and is coordinated by the north American Aerospace Defense Command or norad from its home base in colorado. Centers to its six Centers Across north america. All planes are monitored and displayed as green dots called tracks on a massive map. As the sky are scanned anything out of place, erratic or problematic. This is where the detection happens this is where the identification happens. This is where the tactical action happens. It makes the critical cog in making things at the, once the decision has been made to react, this is where it all happens. This is the action point if you will. Reporter each location including the Eastern Air Defense sector utilize as classified layer civil of communication, keeping in contact with partners at the federal Aviation Administration and department of homeland security. If a plane vanishes off the radar like we saw with Malaysia Flight 370 a universal action plan would go into effect immediately. There are potential violation of restricted airspace than the public ever hears about. While we were on the operations floor in rome, new york, our camera crew was escorted out because of a possible emergency. A plane had not made proper contact. All was well but hundreds of these situations happen every day. If we need to visually identify that aircraft we will launch aircraft to do that. Our fighters will be launched to go identify that airplane. Reporter the airmen say the 24 7 mission is critical to insure nothing is missed. Jon . Laura engle in your newsroom. Thank you. Reporter thanks. Patti ann gearing up for a big day in the Midterm Election season, six key States Holding primaries tomorrow. Campaign carl cameron on ones to be watching closely. Plus, she hasnt even said she is running for president in 2016, but Hillary Clintons candidacy was a hot topic on the sunday talk shows. Well talk about some issues some republicans are raising. She was secretary of state at the time that it happened. She was one of the first in washington to know about it. I think she clearly bears responsibility for whatever the state department did or didnt do with respect to that crisis. Nowchoose one option fromith red lothe woodfire grill,trios one signature shrimp dish, and a pasta. All on one plate. Three delicious choices. All for 15. 99 for a limited time only come sea food differently today just coming out with a book called hard choices or Something Like that. Shes made a series of bad choices and this writer you just quoted, talk about sweeping things under the rug, benghazi shouldnt be swept under the roof. Shes in the prime of her political life. Shes got the energy, shes articulate, shes got the background, shes got the smarts, she has all of the elements of a good leader. Jon Hillary Clinton, a very hot topic on the sunday news shows, her name mentioned 98 times sunday morning. The possible president ial candidate in 2016 faces questions, of course, about her health, about what happened in benghazi, even about the Monica Lewinsky interview recently run in vanity fair magazine. Now joining us is jim pinkering ton for the american conservative magazine and hannity colmehome colmes. Is she one of the liberals who you think should save america . Why so much interest just on the sunday shows this week . Karl rove is now programming sunday morning television. Thats whats happening. Republicans are really directing who is to be booked on the media to talk about this because of what karl rove said. Jon what . Its all because of what karl rove said when he said she had brain damage and he doubles down on it and as if this is a legitimate topic. His health is but hes not the best messenger and the timing is ridiculous because she hasnt even announced yet but the effort here is to really get her intimidated away from a 2016 run. Thats what its all about. Jon i didnt know the republicans were powerful enough to program the sunday morning chat shows. Thats whats going on. Casual glance at news busters who tell you the opposite, more like the d. N. C. Is programming the sunday shows but look. I think its pretty clear that the Mainstream Media would love to make the 2016 election a referendum between Hillary Clinton and karl rove. No offense to karl rove. Im a big fan of. Hillary would win the election and the liberals know it. They want it hillary versus rove. Unfortunately for them, rove will not be on the ballot in 2016 and theyre going to have to run against a republican candidate but they have to turn this into you hit a girl, preemptive strike on the republicans as a whole, the entire party, and so theyre going to say, look. Karl rove and the republicans are plotting against poor hillary. Rove wouldnt have to be the person theyre fighting against if they had a legitimate candidate. If they had someone who they thought could beat Hillary Clinton, they wouldnt do this. Republicans have to nominate somebody. So do the democrats. On cnn this morning, a big liberal said that i think age and physical conditions are legitimate issues. That remind me of, you know, the 1980 campaign which i worked on for Ronald Reagan and every day, the question how old he was came up. Guess what . Ronald reagan in 1980 was the same age Hillary Clinton in 2016. It is a legitimate issue. No one is denying that. The question is how it was brought up, who brought it up and the language he used to use it. Rove didnt do it right to your satisfaction. I dont think he did it right to republican satisfaction. Theyre embarrassed by it. Jon you say that republicans cannot win if hillary is in the picture . Thats not quite what i said. If i didnt say it right, let me clarify. I dont think republicans feel they have as good of a chance with Hillary Clinton in the picture. Theyre trying to get her out of the picture. Their best chance to win is to get her out. On cnn this morning, theyre worried hillary is making the same inevitability argument she made in 2008 which she lost. A hard core liberal democrat, governor of massachusetts is saying that he doesnt think hillary is inevitable at all. He might be right. Theres a lot of time between now and a lot can happen. Theres so much space between now and a potential president ial race that the timing is really what its all about here. This isnt about anything other than trying to poison the well of Hillary Clinton and get her out of the race in the first place. The republicans are afraid of her. They are. Jon one of the things that republicans are saying they have is a strong bench. If competition makes the ultimate eventual candidate stronger, you have Hillary Clinton on the democratic side and then all of the other potential Democratic Candidates seem to be ranked well below her as though shes kind of taking all of the oxygen out of the race. Theyve taken the oxygen out. Karl rove started this conversation. He did it kl cl calculatedly. Use the media air time talking about that bench and promoting that bench but thats not what theyre doing. Its the Mainstream Media that are picking up the hillary story. They want to use it to do a preemptive strike on the republicans. Theyre saying, the real battle is not mike huckabee, rand paul or scott walker in 2016. The real battle is karl rove. You have to make the election hillary versus him. Theyre trying to cover for hillary. Its not just the Mainstream Media. This is not just confined to the Mainstream Media. The Mainstream Media driving it on the sunday shows. Just yesterday, for example. Jon the governor of massachusetts who was talking, as jim said earlier today, said hes afraid she has peaked too early. I mean, that happened the last time around, didnt it . Sure. Jon and hes a friend of the obamas but hardly a conservative republican sympathizer. Im not sure she has peaked. Its just that the media is driving the narrative about Hillary Clinton. Bill crystal this past week put down what karl rove did and said it was not a very good idea for the republicans to have done this. This is the republicans didnt do it. One guy did it. Rove did it. Theres a Big Republican Party out there anxious to talk about obamacare and taxes and the slow economy and the media are obsessed with trying to turn this into the karl rove show. Thats the media. Not rove. They put on the republicans when they have that air time, Start Talking about that stuff rather than Hillary Clinton. Use the time youre on to talk about the economy. Talk about it. Who is doing it . Do it. Get on. Theyre on the media. Theyre being booked but thats not what theyre talking about. When you have that air time, suck it up. Talk about the stuff you think is important. Jon i want you guys i guarantee if you went back to the transcript, they did talk about that. The question kept coming about karl rove. Were talking about it. Jon get me a list of things you want me to talk about, right . Whats your email address again . Jon ive got it. Thank you both. Thank you. Patti ann right now back to the 2014 political season, were getting ready for a key day. Six states hold primaries tomorrow including arkansas, georgia, kentucky and oregon. These are all states that could change the balance of power in the senate next year. Chief Political Correspondent is live with this story. Set the stage for us. Its going to be the biggest day of primaries weve had thus far. 2014 is beginning to catch a stride. Well be watching the g. O. P. Primary in georgia. Theyre republican senator chambliss retiring and its a multi field of republicans. If none get to 50 , this could be a runoff. It will be against the daughter of former senator sam nunn and had no primary opposition for this. Well look at kentucky and Senate Republican leader mitch mc connell, the republican leader, is heavily favored against matt bevin. He got side tracked recently and has had a hard time in polls. Democrats cleared the primary for the daughter of the former state Democratic Party chairman who is a buddy of bill clintons. Tomorrows primary will mark 24 weeks until the election. Those are the big ones were watching and also worth noting that pryor is in arkansas and uncontested. Patti ann some governors and house races . What can you tell us about those . Theres a democratic primary for governor thats a big deal. This has been a real brawl. Businessman tom wolf ran ads early on, got him a lot of attention. Polls suggest he has a big lead over several rivals and a number are complaining hes spent so much money that hes buying the primary nomination. Democrats are targeting republican incumbent tom corbin. Theyre going after him. For house races, one to watch tomorrow is idahos secretary congressional district. Mike rogers, incumbent republican is facing a tea party backed candidate named brian smith. Not one in either the house or the senate have been defeated in any of these primaries. It could happen tomorrow but most of the incumbents look fairly safe as well. Patti ann thanks. Jon we are about 19 minutes from the top of the hour. Lets check out whats ahead on outnumbered.

The park also ending season pass sales for local families. Disneyland is the second most popular theme park in the world after disney world, of course, in florida. Patti ann a new shift on the jobs front with part time and socalled contract workers making up more of the post recession labor market. Those numbers have more than quadrupled since the 1980s and joining us now is dagen. Hi. So the employment numbers can be deceptive. More people have jobs now but a lot are part time. In fact, parttime work accounting for 10 of the u. S. Job growth in the five years since the recession ended in 2009. What does that say about the direction were moving in . Employers are hesitant to bring on full time employees and with the full time employees, they have to pay for benefits, health care and the like. If you look at whats called the u6 unemployment figure which includes people working part time but want to work full time, that number is 12. 3 last month compared to where it would be broadly quoted Unemployment Rate and contract workers are a different thing. These are employees that will be brought on for a specific task or for a set period of time and it can be gret for the employer because they can ramp up production like boeing down in South Carolina added hundreds of contract workers for the dream liner, the 787 dream liner and it gives the employer flexibility. For that point, its hard on the economy with contract workers and part titime workers. They dont spend as much money as somebody who has a full time job. Patti ann theyre worried about the job security. There are others who took the jobs because they couldnt find full time work. The Federal Reserve recently did a study and found almost 7. 5 Million People working part time, including contract workers, would rather work full time so theres a false argument . I think anybody, they want a job regardless of how the job comes. By the way, with a contract employee, if you think about it, if youre a web sidesigner, youe contracted by the company to do a website but you can do other jobs at the same time. Thats a possibility. But with boeing down in South Carolina, they created a lot of these contract workers who have been laid off some time back and theyve added these jobs again so for any area or any person like if you can get a job, then the better. But again, you might not get benefits. Sometimes, though, if youre a contract worker, you could get paid more in actual salary because you dont have the benefits. Its an interesting subset of parttime workers and they are really on the rise since the 1980s back in 1980s they made up less than half of 1 of the work force and now theyre 2. 3 . Because there is some kind of contract involved, do they have some more benefits or protections than just someone who is part time and doesnt get anything . You could very well be working full time hours rather than working just part time. One of the benefits to an economy and some of this is a function of employers are worry about taking on full time employees but the production can be much more flexible because a company can ramp up production quickly or pull it back depending on how the Economic Cycle changes. That is somewhat a function of developing economy and a very and a strengthening economy for lack of a better word. Part time, speaking of parttime workers, dont forget a lot of retailers, say target, home depot, theyre not Offering Health care benefits to parttime workers anymore. They are ended those benefits and now you have to go on the Health Care Exchange if you want to get health insurance. Patti ann its a shift in the work force. Thank you as always. Thank you so much.
