To those of you who voted, president obama said he heard you. But is this really what you wanted . Hes now getting advice on be bm al sharpton. Oh my gosh. Thats hilarious, isnt
it . Ill take it from here. Just ahead of veterans day, this writer begs the American People do not call members of our military heroes. They dont deserve it according to to him. It only gets worse from there. Well explain. Well try to because mornings believe it or not on this monday are better with friends. Im congressman dennis kucinich. This is senator joe lieberman. Youre watching fox friends, one of my favorite shows. A lot of people have sat on this couch. If they sit on the couch theyve got to give us a little love. Youre sitting on the couch. Are you going to give us a little love . Mornings are better with friends. Good morning, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Good morning. Two democrats introduced us, one republican. Before we get to talk, first whats happening with the breaking news. We have breaking news weve been following for you. We start with this fox news alert. A suicide bomber leaves at least 48 students dead at a
nigerian college. Witnesses say the bomber got into the school disguised as a student but he blew himself up in the middle of an assembly. Soldiers were chased away angry that the military cannot stop these freect boko haram terror attacks. A mysterious leader in the group isis possibly injured in airstrikes in iraq. It is claimed he was badly wounded in a series of airstrikes. Heres the thing, hes proven elusive since appearing on video back in july. If these reports are true it would be a devastating blow to isis. Pentagon officials, however, say they are unable to confirm the report. The strikes were targeting a major meeting of isis leaders near mosul. U. S. Officials saying a convoy of ten armed struks struks trucks were destroyed. An air canada mane
plane burst a fire during takeoff. It burst a tire during takeoff. Officials say this plane has had several mechanical failures in the past but they will keep flying them. Prince harry writing a letter to former soldiers. The prince presenting a wreath with the note at britains Remembrance Day. It read, quote, there is no greater love than to lay down ones life for ones friends. They will never be forgotten. Harry served in afghanistan back in 2007 and 2008. He is currently ranked captain and continues to serve in a staff officer role. Those are a look at your headlines. There is a book out on harrys life. Hes actually had a very normal life for a royal person born into unbelievable wealth. Princedom. Good boy, very nice. I entertained him for four days when i was first leafed San Francisco when camilla came. Not harry. The dad. You cant keep up with harry. Hes a bit much for me. Four minutes now after the hour. The president of the United States sat down with Bob Schieffer yesterday. One of the things he talked about is essentially what the problem was with the Midterm Elections. What the problem was with his approval rating. I was astounded to see his take on the problem. Remember a couple of days ago he said the republicans had a good night . That seems an understatement considering how historic it was. Instead the president revealed he is doing a good jb but hes doing a bad job selling what you really want. Listen to him, the salesman in chief. Weve got to sell it. Weve got to reach out to the other side and where possible persuade. And i think there are times, there is no doubt about it, where i think we have not been successful in going out there and letting people know what it is that were trying to do and why this is the right direction. So there is a failure there that weve got to improve on. He got the policy right. He just hasnt told people how right he is. Thats what i got from that statement. Thats what hes saying. Hes not going to say his policies are inherently flawed. He says were not getting it yet so hes being nice by saying if i explained it better you would understand where im taking it. Heres the other thing the president doesnt understand. Hes doing a great job selling it. People arent buying it. They dont like what hes selling. While he attempts to appear as if hes reaching out to the other side, what he has made very clear is that despite the fact that the
speaker of the house, john boehner said, youre going to get burned and Mitch Mcconnell said youre going to poison the well if you do something with executive amnesty, granting amnesty to millions of illegals, hes going to plow right ahead on it. Here he is despite the fact that hes pretending hes bipartisan, there he is at lunch on friday, not so much on this topic. Id prefer and still prefer to see it done through congress. But every day that i wait, were misallocating resources, were deporting people that shouldnt be deported. Were not deporting folks that are dangerous and need to be deported. So, john, im going to give you some time, but if you cant get it done before the end of the year, im going to have to take the steps that i can to improve the system. But if you dont get it done the way i want you to get it done in a program that i can improve, then im going to have to act alone because you wont get it done that way. Instead of saying okay, what needs to be done . What actually could we
agree on and maybe we could do this incrementally, maybe we could do this with the border first after two years go out and check, lets have a big check box, the border is secured. So he doesnt plan on changing, kimberly. He plans on forging ahead. This is what i love about him. Ready to get positive, people . He is wonderfully consistent. Hes never wrong. Its got to be his time frame, his policies. Now youre making me take a little longer because you people arent getting it. I need to explain it better. Weve got more insight because senator john barraso was at that meeting and he says the president , hes pulling the pin on the hand grenade. Nobody ran for office and won a senate race based on the president having more executive authority to take executive actions on amnesty or on health care or any other of those issues. The American People want us to Work Together to find solutions. So i think it would be hike the president pulling the pin out of the hand grenade
and throwing it in as were trying to actually Work Together. Absolutely. The message from the midterms was people are disgusted by the way washington is working, the dysfunction, the gridlock and stuff like that. We want people to get along. Theres the president saying i gave the republicans plenty of time, but unless they do it by the end of the year which is before the end of this lame duck session where harry reid is pulling all the strings im in the going to be happy. George bush had a house that passed immigration and a senate that passed immigration. They couldnt agree on it. The president looks at the distance and feels frustration. I think he needs somebody to come in and say this is how we compromise. Joe biden seems to have tried it in that beating meeting and was cut off in front of the president. When he said how long do you need, he was cut off by the president. That is the problem. Hes not a compromiser, so this is nothing new. Who suffers . The country. Elections have
consequences. 2016. If joe biden wants to run for president , i would advise him to say let me finish, mr. President. At some point some have to Say Something that republicans said to george bush. Keep in mind tomorrow is veterans day, the day we historically honor or veterans. So salon, a lefty blog put out a piece where it talks about how many heroes we have in this country, the men and women who serve us, theyre not really heroes. Hes sick of them. Its too much. This is the quote here. Put a man in uniform, preferably a white man, give him a gun and americans will worship him. It is a particularly childish trait of a childlike culture that
insists on anointing all active military members and Police Officers as heroes. What do you think . Do you agree . Let us know. 24 hours from veterans day. He goes on to say theres sexual assaults and look how Chelsea Manning was treated, the one who gave up the secrets to the world . He looks at he became a she. He looks at her, the problem with, the problem Chelsea Manning had when he was a man, he looks at that as a problem with really our military. Its childish. What he misses is there are tens of thousands of people across the country, hundreds of thousands, millions of people who have dedicated their lives to protecting us from the evil side. And im sorry dave at salon, but theyre heroes
to me and theyre heroes to a lot of people who watch this program and a lot of people who dont watch this program. It is a volunteer army we have. People are not drafted, not forced to enlist. They choose to serve because they are patriotic and care deeply about this country and preserving our rights and our liberty. For all of us to sit here and express our views. This guy, he probably couldnt give me ten pushups. Weigh in right now. Facebook, kilmeade at fox friends or twitter or any other account you want to use. Groupon. 11 minutes after the top.

You thought the secret v. A. List, waiting lists were a disgrace to our veterans . Its about to get worse. Now were hearing once a vet gets to see a doctor, they may be treated using dangerous and outdated equipment. A reporter from the Washington Times blew the lid off of this story. He joins us live from washington, d. C. A pleasure to have you with us this morning. When i was reading this story, i thought just when you thought these poor veterans havent been abused enough and mistreated, you hear this. Imagine you finally get in but youre not getting the appropriate treatment because they are using this outdated equipment. How did you come across this story and then tell us about it. Sure. We made a records request looking into some v. A. Contractingrelated issues many months ago; recently got back some response of documents. What we learned were some complaints back in 2012 from suppliers, the biggest of which was johnson and johnson, the big medical device manufacturer, raising concerns about the fact that some of the equipment that the v. A. Was purchasing was off of whats called the gray market, which could be counterfeit items,
potentially items that could be stolen from other hospital, items that are perhaps misbranded. And so johnson and johnson sent a letter to, or an email to v. A. Raising concerns about this, but it wasnt the only correspondence that we found highlighting this problem. What else did you find . We found that there was an internal Advisory Board that was designed to, it was comprised of different contractors and they were there to highlight different concerns they had about v. A. Procurement. And this was one of four or five issues that they specific which i flagged and they which they specifically flagged and they presented it to v. A. s top acquisition officials in a presentation back in 2012. It just got worse. Last night on 60 minutes a big feature. It was with secretary Robert Mcdonald who has
taken over to straighten that place out. He finds out that about a thousand people should be fired. Instead because it is government he can only get rid of about 30. He went on to say firing isnt the only challenge. Hiring is a challenge. Listen. How many doctors and nurses and medical professionals do you need to hire right now . If we could do it today, we would tell you we probably need about 28,000 is what we said in our committee testimony. How does that happen . Where are the people . Where are the applicants . Its been a persistent issue over the years. Theres no shortage of government audits talking about doctor staffing and nurse staffing. You also have to wonder to what extent this may have contributed to the bigger scandal about wait times, because you have overworked staffs and you have a bonus system thats tied in part to wait times. And so to what extent thats an underlying issue. And at the same time, however, you also have no shortage of government audits talking about some questionable spending decisions over the years by the v. A. One highlighted recently by senator coburn in a report talking about roughly 500 million spent on Office Renovations over a fiveyear period. And certainly that would hire a lot of doctors and nurses. You need to be hiring the right people. The problem is it seems we cant fire the people that need to go, that need to take a hike and we dont have enough job positions open that we need to actually fill to run this properly. It is completely systemic and dysfunctional. Im glad you did this open request to get these documents because otherwise you wouldnt know the half of this story. Jim, thanks so much. 19 minutes after the hour. Coming up, a veteran survives his tour of afghanistan only to be murdered as he celebrated

His friend was able to survivor by leaping off the bridge into the water below. She suffered nonlifethreatening injuries. How frustrating it can sometimes be for any president to deal with an opposition that is pretty stubborn and where there are really strong differences. Youve just got to keep on trying. Hes promising to play nice going forward, but who did the president bring to the table before he tried to cut a deal with
republicans last week . One man. The g. O. P. Is playing opposites. Hey, i can play too. Did republicans think we wouldnt notice theyre fooling the American People with their opposite day games . Nice try. But we got you. The day after the midterms, the man the president met with was al sharpton. Is he the guy to ask for advice when it comes to reaching across the aisle . Huh . Crystal wright is the owner of the Baker Wright Group and the founder of conservativeblackchick. Com blog and she joins us today from d. C. I dont know where to start.
