FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier May 13, 2014

Both parties. White house correspondent Wendell Goler looks at an emotionally and politically charge issue in the spotlight. At a medal of honor ceremony nor kyle white who saved lives at the risk of his own in afghanistan, president obama spoke of the commitment to our veterans. All who served in Americas Armed forces, we want you to know that we will always be grateful. But the scandal sparked by allegations that delayed care cost dozens of lives at phoenix va hospital continue to grow. Two workers were suspended for what were called inappropriate scheduling practices and two dozen texas lawmakers called for an investigation of wait times in that state. Missouri senator roy blunt says two things need to happen. The first step is for the veterans administration, to investigate them and report back immediately and the second step is to see if somebody else will do it if the secretary of Veterans Affairs wont. Va secretary Eric Shinseki says hes determined to fix the problems. The white house continues to defend them. Under the leadership of secretary sins sins shinseki and his team, they will serve veterans now and into the future. Not only do people need to be suspended or fired, we need to talk about who needs to be in jail over this. Illinois republican isnt that true kinsinger says that delaying care should be negligence. They are more than just a person, having said that i continue to believe that who is at the stop of an agency or department matters. The nations newest medal of honor recipient was treated for ptsd, and he urged others who suffer it to get help. That was a very important and positive thing do on behalf of our veterans. It added to the backlog but it was the right thing to do. Late today, republican florida senator marco rubio asked the va for the wait list times for all facilities in his state. Thank you. Police in baltimore have a man in custody tonight who they say rammed a truck into a television station. They said the man claiming to be god drove his truck into the lobby of wmartv and barricaded himself inside for several hours. The suspect is mentally disturbed and ranting and raving and armed with a golf club. An Inspector General with the Treasury Department says the irs paid more than 13 billion in tax credits last year to people who may not have qualified. That ends up to a third of the payments. Speaking of taxes, you may pay fewer of something that happened today right behind me, before you celebrate, the final outcome is far from certain. On this vote, the yeas are 96, the nays are 3. Some extremely rare election rear bipartisan bill in the senate. By providing some certainty to businesses and families for the next two years, the expire act creates the space needed for true tax reform. The white house has threatened a veto on a more expensive 156 billion house passed version of the bill but in the senate, a white house official says quotas legislation moves forward, the administration looks forward to working with congress to offset its cost by closing tax loopholes. Republicans are already lined up to offer amendments to the bill. Including scrapping the obamacare medical device tax. If we can get a chance to get these amendments in front of the United States senate and allowed the voices of the American People to be heard and to get votes, we can start moving this country in a different direction. Yet, major leader harry reid has resisted amendments. Today, reid sound reluctant to repeal the medical device tax which had strong bipartisan support. Im not going to cry any big tears over the device folks. Their profits were huge last year. Wyoming senator john barossa says the device tax is no big deal. The experts tell us that 33,000 workers have lost their jobs as a result of this tax, which cuts into those who make pace makers, artificial joints, ultrasound machines. At this point, republican sources arent particularly optimistic on amendments. They are convinced that reid will only allow votes regarding raising minimum wage. New record closing for the dow and the s p. The dow gained 20 today, s p up 1, nasdaq 14. The subject of Hillary Clintons health is on the. I didnt say she had a brain damage. This will be a Serious Health episode. Heres what i would say about cognitive capacity, dr. Rove might have been the last person to recognize the president had one reelection. Brit, what do you think . Well, it certainly is true that at some point, Hillary Clinton like anybody else who gets close to the president ial nomination will have to account for her health. Its going to come up. If you are on Hillary Clintons side, you dont want this issue discussed, you could hardly have it come up in a better way politically than for a famous republican political consultant and strategyist to be the one who raises it. Eventually shes going to have to discuss it. All these people who say its unfair to talk about it and its talked about in every race you look back. Look back at Ronald Reagan running for reelection in 1984. He loses a debate to walter monday dale mondale the question had arisen as to whether reagan was okay. Certainly there were questions about his mental acuity at that point which he managed to take care of in the next debate. All president s records become public. Gets them, has them analyzed by a team of medical experts and publish a story about it. We have no real reason to think that shes suffering any continuing aftereffects from this incident where she fell and that resulted in a blood clot, but we dont know and so at some point she will have to say. Senator john mccain went through the same thing. And age raises that and sharpens the issue and Hillary Clinton will be about the age that Ronald Reagan was when he was running in 1980. Former White House Press secretary for the clintons says he may be the only one but he doesnt think shes running. What he said its possible she wont run. That she would be a for midable candidate, but he think shes loving the work shes doing with the clin town foundation, and she may not want to go through all this. Mike, being close to the clintons or at least friendly with them, is not going to put it in any particular form, she may feel she doesnt want to go through this nightmare. U. S. Surveillance looking for the kidnapped girls in nigeria. Fox 11 in charleston with an accident at a West Virginia coal mine that trapped and killed two workers it happened at brody mine in boon county.

A fox news crew was nearby when it happened. Live tonight in donetsk. Reporter its the attack yesterday by pro russian rebels on Ukrainian Military and according to experts weve been speaking to it could escalate the conflict here. We were at a checkpoint today not far from where the attack took place. The commander told us his men are getting regularly targeted, but nothing like this. Along with those 7 killed, there were 7 injured. Other troops and helicopters were called in. There were no word on casualties on the rebel side. All this is separatists are feeling emboldened. We saw it not far from the am bsh site. The rebels were not wearing their face masks. We dont have to anymore we were told. Rebel leaders are now calling the Ukrainian Military in this territory an Occupying Force and they have given them 48 hours to either change side or leave. The ukrainian men who died today werent given that chance. Were now waiting for government response. Brett. A senior russian official sanctioned during the ukraine crisis is threatening to withhold russian engines used to launch American Military satellites into space. We first brought you this story of the person who continues to profit from the sale of those engines but he says he will pull the plug unless the u. S. Stops using them for military purposes. The u.

Weve provided commercial satellite imagery and are flying manned aircraft with the governments permission. Reporter yesterday, flights were completed yesterday. The scourge of boko haram has continued to spread to neighboring regions and it has become an issue that has really been highlighted in this recent incident of deserving greater international attention. Reporter a day after the leader offered to release the girls in exchange for prisoners, nigerian officials indicated a willingness to negotiate with the group. We use whatever kind of action to get our girls out of the captivity that they are in now. Reporter the white house dismissed boko harams demands. Its the policy of the United States to deny kidnappers the benefits of their criminal acts. Reporter at least one mother of the kidnapped girls says she saw her daughter in the video released yesterday, yet bureaucratic hurdles are prevtd preventing the u. S. From sharing intelligence with the nigerian government. They are still establishing protocols for the secure sharing of intelligence with the nigerian government. It has only requested intelligence and surveillance help as of now and there is still no plan to send u. S. Troops. Thank you. A new report says the Obama Administration released over 36,000 convicted criminals last year, including murderers and rapists while they were awaiting the outcome of deportation proceedings.

So we see whats happening now in phoenix, in fort collins, colorado, and literally all offer the country, as whistle blowers are coming forward and exposing the complete meltdown and dysfunction when it comes to the Va Health Care delivery system. Are we providing timely and good Quality Health care to our veterans . Right now, the answer is now, im afraid and we have to get to the bottom of it. Its essential that we ensure that our veterans get the benefits they have deserved and earned. The president remains confident that the secretary can continue to lead the department. Le allegations about these delays, about poor care, neglect, even fraud at va hospitals are increasing across the country tonight and there are more calls for the secretary of veteran affairs to resign. He spoke to cbs last week. All of this makes me angry. Whenever we have allegations like this, even until they are founded, i didnt come here to watch things happen this way. I came here to make things better. And he will come to capitol hill to testify this week. Lets bring in our panel a little early tonight. Jason riley, a. B. Stoddard, charles lane. Jason, in the big context of things, how is this sitting . Obviously its emotionally charged. Lawmakers on both sides of the side are fired up. Shinseki is testifying later this week. To the mid 90s weve known about this, but he has been there long enough to have done something about this. I also think there is some grand standing going on in the part of congress as well. Weve had Inspector General reports, goa reports. Congress known about this for a long time. What veterans need is a way to opt out of the virginia veterans system. It is broken and dysfunctional. Ab, this is kind of a drip, drip, drip scenario and politically how do you think it sits and how it sits on capitol hill. Well i think its strajic. I think the senator is right, veterans are not receiving adequate care and i think its terrible. I think they need a new system. I dont know that they opt out and they get a voucher. I dont know that secretary shinsekis resignation makes
