can make it until the very end and the president needs fresh eyes and fresh blood and josh earnest also comes with a carney overstayed his welcome. we get a little fresh blood in there. did you see when carney went to say good-bye to president obama, he went for the handshake and obama went to the hug and then he started kissing the shoulder. it was one of the most awkward thing i have ever seen two men do. okay. it is a little awkward. we did a little segment on that the five. i think it was smart timing to do this on the same day as shinseki left. i think it sucked a little air out of there. i ve seen you kiss bill o reilly on a regular basis? you have. not his shoulder.
distraction because his priority is to fix the problem and make sure our vets are getting the care that they need. my assessment was unfortunately that he was right. and here is general shinseki today just a short while before the announcement. i was too trusting of some and i accept it as accurate reports that i now know have been misleading with regard to patient wait times. i will not defend it because it s indefensible. i apologize as a senior leader of the department of veterans affairs. sloan gibson was named as the acting secretary of the v.a. the political problem has now been fixed, but the issue remains that the vets have been betrayed by this administration. you remember president obama promised he would cutting the red tape. we re fulfilling our promise. cutting the red tape and delay.
effective, more loyal, if she were to run for president, i think she would be very effective at that. if she does decide to run, she s going to face a lot of questions about her response on our attack on the consulate in benghazi. we now have excerpts from the 34-page benghazi chapter, about the criticism of her response. she writes i will not be part of a political slug fest on the backs of dead americans. those who insist on plit sizing the strategy will have to do so without me. regarding her infamous comment on the hill, what zinks does it make. many have conveniently chosen to interpret that phrase to mean that i was somehow minimizing the tragedy of benghazi. my point was simple, if someone breaks into your home and take your family hostage, how much time are you going to spend focused on how the intruder
that were happened. he actually caused some of these disability backlog claims himself. they loosened the requirement to get compensation for agent orange and all these things, it created a flood of new veterans claims into a system and they were not prepared. they created this wait list scandal. what they said in 2010 we re going to link bonus performances to reducing wait times to 14 days. everybody took advantage of it and started juicing the system and lying. they are responsible for two of the main components in this scandal and all of a sudden to say i m accountable, the president said. it doesn t make any sense. i remember the left went after chris christie over bridge gate because even though he didn t order the bridge closed, it was the culture of corruption. it was this culture that infected the rest of this
the president of the united states with everything going on, especially with the crisis at the v.a. hospitals. i just think it makes him look completely check out and detached. it s not in his job description to worry about this. i agree. the government cannot do anything about this. they should not do anything about this. they should let the nfl figure it out, let the market figure it out. i cannot believe that they had the president do this event today. they should have canceled that interview with kelly and michael and have him go to a v.a. hospital. there s always going to be concussions in football. i don t want to cyst si fie it. they took me to the hospital. i had a mile concussion or whatever and i sat out a week, but they try to do this where they fine these guys for helmet-to-helmet hits and it just didn t work. i don t know how you regulate it. i think it s almost impossible. there s a lot of healthy
