Its first chance to question one of the top bosses at the heart of the irs scandal. Well ask dr. Ben carson if hes laughing after the tax agency targeted him. Plus, a guy takes out a gun in a large crowd of people and no one notices. All too glued to their cell phones. Really . A story you must see tonight. Good evening, everyone. Im megyn kelly. Breaking tonight on the kelly file, a search for answers from the white house on a story we first brought you last night. Exactly when and how did president obama learn that the families of dozens of fallen troops were denied socalled death benefits because they died after the Government Shutdown hit. The benefits are meant to help grieving families bury their loved ones including these five american heroes who died in afghanistan over the weekend. Earlier today our chief White House Correspondent tried to get answers from jay carney. He asked for the omb and his lawyers to take action. Why didnt he have action taken before today though . You
This heartbreaking impact of the Government Shutdown has now sparked a national outrage, one that washington can no longer ignore. Shouldnt we, as a body, republican, democrat, no matter who we are, shouldnt we be embarrassed about this . Shouldnt we be ashamed . Now Congress Plans to act. The house will vote today at 3 00 to reinstate the death benefits. The senate as well. The chaplain appealed to a higher power. Lord, when our federal shutdown delays payments of death benefits to the families of children dying on faraway battlefields, its time for our lawmakers to say enough is enough. No deal, no surrender. Are president obama and Speaker Boehner farther apart than ever . We cant make extortion routine as part of our democracy. Democracy doesnt function this way. What the president said today was if theres Unconditional Surrender by republicans, hell sit down and talk to us. Thats not the way our government works. And a fed first, when president obama today nominates janet yellen a
Good evening. The president and the speaker of the house fought back and forth verbally today. Day eight of the government shutdown. Mean chooil, all kinds of people are getting cheated out of salaries, benefits, medical treatment. And now we have learned of what may be the ultimate indignity, having to do with those that fought and died for this country. In the middle of the shutdown, the sad word that five americans were killed in afghanistan, but because of the shutdown, those 5 and 12 others killed in action since october 1st will not get the death benefit that their families are supposed to be guaranteed. We have two reports on this tonight, beginning with nbcs Andrea Mitchell who broke the story this morning, and is here with us in the studio tonight. Andrea, good evening. Reporter good evening, brian. We have been talking about the shutdown for eight days, but in the middle of all this pain, the fact that families of troops killed in afghanistan are not getting their death benef
Theyre following around 80 contacts. 80 contacts of the man who was in the hospital right here who has been diagnosed with ebola. What were told is many of the contacts are contacts of contacts, in other words the patient had contacts around him, mr. Duncan, and some of those contacts then had their contacts and theyre all being monitored, theyre taking their temperature, theyre watching for signs of ebola. Carol . Describe to us how concerned we should be that this number has ratcheted up to 80. Reporter you know, i dont find it too concerning because theyre doing it as that phrase they love to use out of an abundance of caution. The people who really need to be concerned are the ones who had close contact with mr. Duncan who were exposed to his bodily fluids. I this think they are trying to have a wide margin of error and thats why they expanded this list. Something else interesting happened the Texas Department of health told us four close family members have been ordered to stay ho
