Rihanna retweeted a photo taking aim at a teenager who recreated one of her outfits. Everyone have a great weekend. Fox friends starts now. Head out on the highway lookin for adventure live from new york city, it is National Ride your bike to work day. Here on 48th street. This is a great way to wake up. Its cheaper than that car service you demand, steve. Thats a taxi. Ride your bike to work day. By the way, weve got a setup in front of our building because in a little while were all going to be doing a spartan race which should be pretty interesting. Even the spartans wouldnt do. Its National Bike day. Were going to go inside. Youve got your protective helmet on. Before we go further, take a look at how heather rode your bike today. All right, ladies first, come on in. The last time you walked down this hall was your first day. Yes, and i had coffee. You havent brought us coffee since the first day. Today ive got a coffee pot. Its ready to go. That is a great way to start the day, on bikes. A little exercise. Today, the inside story, as we find out what it was
like going back to the view with elisabeth. I saw your instagram posts. I was instagramming along the way. By the way, i did retweet lets pause. Were on tv right now. Elisabeth, i did retweet that picture of you and Hillary Clinton, and you got an inside story and you got some great details. I do. Youre going to get that out of me. Ive got a feeling. Ladies, right this way. Heather, put your shoes on. Were in the studio now. Hanger or hook . This is kind of how we start the show. Welcome to studio e live from midtown manhattan. Its National Ride your bike to work or school day. Oftentimes on friday you might have trouble getting out of the starting gate but i think this is a great start. We should do this every
friday. Isnt it a great feeling . Those bikes are fantastic. Thanks to chris for taping my pants to my legs so they wouldnt get stuck in my pedal. And thanks for the bicycle rentals. Lets make sure everybody looks good. You look good. Your hair is a little joel, are we going to start . And action. Yesterday, big hearings on capitol hill as general shinseki went in front of democrats and republicans who had one thing in common. Equally outraged with whats going on at the v. A. , wait times and kill lists in three states that has people saying were not going to give them incentives and theyre going to die. When i say they, i mean veterans. It was time to tee off on someone who is a decorated veteran, general
who in my opinion seems way out of his depth. I think that was proven yesterday. He said im going to continue, the president wants me there. This may be something where he is in over his head. People at the v. A. Have known for years, they have had internal reviews in the past. They have known for years this is a problem. How Many American heroes died waiting for treatment . We heard a lot of republicans yesterday, we heard a lot of democrats all outraged. Lets start with the republican, he is from nevada, dean heller, asked pointblank, general shinseki, why shouldnt your head roll. Would you explain to me after all this information why you should not resign . I tell you, senator, i came here to make things better for veterans. That was my appointment by the president. Every day i start out with the intent and in fact provide as much care and benefits for the people i
went to war with and the people i spent a good portion of my life doing. This is not a job. Im here to accomplish a mission that i think they critically deserve and need. But its not happening. Its not happening. So you would think that maybe he thought he should probably get out of there. This is going to be so interesting for me. Its going to be the first time that i can remember over the last six years that democrats and republicans are going to legitimately pursue an investigation on the same page. And if they both do that, lets see if they actually get answers. I think you and Charles Krauthammer on the same page with that one. Williams said we should keep an eye out for real rage or faux rage. It would be unbelievable to think anybody wouldnt want to side on this side of the line to protect our veterans. The v. A. Shouldnt be a death sentence for those who have laid down their life and been willing to sacrifice at all for us. This is Juan Williams saying take a good look. What democrats are doing is making sure its clear to the American Public that they are outraged by this, they are supportive to our military. Shinseki himself, i think, has the credentials as a fourstar general, former war hero. I think that is their efforts to prevent any kind of political damage going forward. It would be hard for either Political Party to support what is going on. You were talking about not only a coverup they have known for years about these fake lists document destruction, corruption and ultimately death. We heard about the 40 deaths in arizona, but apparently there is another report, 23 vets died waiting for simple Cancer Screenings. This goes back four years, 13 stilts in nine different states 13 facilities in nine different states. It is across the country. And for people who say its not a big scandal, you just arent paying attention. Not only is it a big substantial, it is at the very heart of what were supposed to provide for our veterans. The ranks of veterans waiting for more than a year for their benefits was at 11,000 in 2009. Thought that was bad . It is now up to 245,000 waiting for benefits as of december of 2013. By the v. A. s own admission, it is less than 42 of the veterans who fit in that under 14day waiting period to get treated to maintain health but be treated for something that ultimately could kill them. Most americans in this fox news poll think this administrations skapblgs skapblgs scandals are a big deal. 37 of those polled think the president s handling of benghazi is a serious matter. When you look at the
n. S. A. Scandal, 53 of you think it is a serious matter. 52 for benghazi and the i. R. S. Scandal is 44 . I think it is curious, weve heard from eric holder and he said the department of justice not ready to get involved. Were just going to monitor the situation. Why . Because theyre investigating it at the v. A. Lets think, department of justice, they investigated themselves regarding the, looking into reporters background. The n. S. A. , theyre taking care of that. The i. R. S. , theyve got that handled as well; no criminality. This looks like, it could be, did it not touch so Many Americans lives, this could be another one of those stonewalling things. But in this case a lot of americans die. People are dying in the meantime. There is no time to go through a full investigation and delay while these veterans are dying. This is a death sentence right now. Something has got to be done. John mccain actually
calling for jail for those that were involved and knowingly allowed this all to happen. Hes right. It is nine minutes after the hour on this friday. Weve got breaking news. Now lets turn to Heather Nauert whos got some shoes on. Good morning. We talked a lot about the winter and droughts in california affecting the wildfire season right now. This is a fox news alert. Overnight two teenagers arrested on suspicion of trying to start a fire in Southern California. This as multiple wildfires are raging and tens of thousands of people are forced to be on the move this morning. They are trying to escape the flames that have ravaged more than 10,000 acres so far and may have killed at least one person. The exact cause of the wildfires remains unclear at this time but officials are not ruling out arson. Listen to this one coming in from overseas. A pregnant woman sentenced to death by a Sudanese Court because she is christian. She has been convicted of apostasy or the disaffiliation from a
religion because she left the religion of islam and converted to christianity in order to marry her husband. The court gave her four days to repent from her religion. She of course refused. The Death Penalty is expected to be carried out after she gives birth next month. Sad news to bring you this morning. A top army ranger who helped rescue former p. O. W. Jessica lynch in iraq remember that big story . He has now died after he was shot when his unit was attacked in afghanistan. Sergeant major Martin Barreras is his name and he served 22 years in the army 75 ranger regiment. He went to iraq and afghanistan many times, this after serving in the marine corps. Barreras was 49 years old. He leaves behind a wife, two daughters and a son. Casey kasem not in danger . He was just on vacation . The 82yearold was in good shape when they found him at a friends house in
seattle with his wife. The daughter still has concerns about his wellbeing, his battle with dementia. She has been battling her step mom to see him in court. Those are your headlines. Nobody had more going on yesterday arguably than you and Barbara Walters. It was nice we all returned there, all the ghosts i call us. Just a tribute to barbara. It was an emotional day to go around the table. Everyone was on good behavior, barely any cross talk. Barbara has done so much for us. It was a great moment. It was like Graduation Day for her . It was. To look out and see all of us there, she really gave us an opportunity. I owe her the world really. Love her. You shot yesterdays show and you shot an extra
show . Yes. There we are. Selfies. I took a lot of selfies. We have a familystyle relationship. Speaking of family, star jones and rosie odonnell, that was the first moment we saw each other in a long time. Everybody seems so happy in that picture. Yeah, you know, were faking it. Interestingly enough, barbara has the ability to take all of the opinions and any divisive moment anyone has on the program and bring everyone together yesterday. Everyone was happy for her. It was such a truly selfless day for all just to give honor to the one person. I saw one quote from rosie odonnell. She was asked what do you miss about the show . She goes fighting with the skinny girl, meaning you. Rosie, we had that big split screen moment. I told her then i would not defend the idea that our troops were terrorists. I wont defend it now. It is indefensible. But i do believe she may have a different heart about it. Yesterday none of that came up. I was so thankful because it was all about barbara. Barbara walters, the first lady of journalism, a former first lady was actually there yesterday. Look who i bumped into. Talk about accidental selfies. Im going to tell you more about this. There is a story behind that arm reach, the left arm reach. It was actually her idea. It was . No, it wasnt. Did elisabeth invite Hillary Clinton to sit on this couch right here . Were going to find out in 15 minutes. Put down that remote; its a busy day. It looks like a great day. It actually was very special. Barbara, i think she cried. What kind of a tree was she yesterday . A weeping willow. She was. 13 minutes after the hour right now. Something the v. A. Secretary said on capitol hill yesterday, being called the second biggest

Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, the general, grilled on the hill yesterday over numerous Veterans Affairs scandals. However, he says he did not fail the veterans who were left to die. Any allegation, any adverse incident like this makes me as makes me mad as hell. I could use stronger language, sure, mr. Chairman, but in deference to the committee, i wont. Joining us is Fox News Contributor and the c. E. O. Of concerned veterans for america, captain pete hegseth. Good morning, captain. Good morning. Why should he get fired . Because he failed at his job. Hes been there for six years. The department is failing veterans. Were seeing folks dying on secret lists. He wants to stand there and call it a good system and then he stands there and says these are isolated incidents when facts that were presented before him and hes even shown this is a widespread problem, an infected v. A. System that he has been aware of and only once the media shines of light of scrutiny on the department do they start putting people on administrative leave and even then hes doing it only because the i. G. Is recommending it. This is not a guy leading the department now. Youve got inspector generals at the v. A. Inspecting themselves. They have known since 2010 about these gaming strategies. It is systemic. It obviously has come from the top. One of the problems at the
v. A. Is if you hit your number as a manager, you get a bonus. It looks like people cooked the books to hit their numbers, and people died. Absolutely. And whats different than private industry is the veterans dont get a choice in the scenario. Theyre going to that hospital no matter what. Those administrators are taking that fixed volume of veterans, fudging the numbers, cooking the books to make the numbers look good for their administrators to get a big bonus. Washington thinks the veterans are waiting two weeks. That veteran is waiting; months not getting the Preventive Care and so weve got guys dying while waiting on secret lists. To the best of our knowledge the secret lists are not being used now. Do we have any indication that the waiting times are less . No. The problem is even getting rid of shinseki if hes fired doesnt change a culture mired in bureaucracy, thats mired in process. It doesnt incentivize clerks or technicians or others to work faster, to
be more efficient. That is the problem with the system. How do we fix it right now . Congress has to provide an oversight function and Start Holding people accountable. There is going to be a vote on the house floor next week, v. A. Management accountability act that would give any leader the ability to fire bad managers. The onus will be on the senate and the president. Lets see if harry reid and president obama are going to put their money where their mouth is and start to st up for veterans. There is going to be a vote and a bill where they can do just that and well see, because there is a lot of rhetoric but there hasnt been a lot of action. This reform is a real bite. Extraordinarily we have not heard from the commander in chief since he was traveling abroad. Nothing. Nothing. That speaks volumes. Pete hegseth, thank you for joining us today. You got it. 20 minutes after the top. This heisman winner says he forgot to pay but what does the video show . Does it show him stealing crab legs . Stay tuned.

If results stand it would be the first time a single party has won an outright majority in that country since 1984. In resolution a rocket carrying a Communications Satellite broke apart nine minutes after that launch. A touching display of true sportsmanship and team work by teenage twin sisters at an illinois track meet. Halfway through the track chloe gruenke felt something sharp pop and a sharp pain and fell to the ground. Chloes sister who was behind her in the race decided to pick her up when she couldnt finish and carry her across her back all the way across the finish line. The twins came in last but who cares. For spectators who saw the special moment the girls came away winners. Joining us now are the inspiring duo, sisters chloe and claire tkpwraoupb tkpwraoupb chloe and claire gruenke. How are you feeling now . Surprised at the way everything is happening. Is your leg okay . Its better now. You had an exhausting day. What happened to you . I did well in my first lap. When i came around to the second, my leg started to hurt and i fell to the ground from pain. I couldnt get back up. Then claire came right behind me and said come on, chloe, you have to finish this. She stood up and motioned me to get on her back and i got on her back. She was jogging at first. I said claire, were not going to be able to finish if you jog. I told her to walk and we
walked the rest. On the last 100, she was walking and she sat me down right before the finish line and kept pushing me to go first. I didnt want to go first. I wanted her to finish with me. We finished at the same time. I watched this with my daughter and she was so moved. This is a great message for many. The crowd, i hear, went wild. In a society where everyone is pressured to win, you chose to not let your sister stay behind. What were you thinking . Why did you do this . It just came like natural to me like i have to help her. I have to have her finish at least. It doesnt matter if she doesnt win as long as she finishes it. What was your parents reaction . Claire . They were in tears, both of them. And your coaches . They were also in tears. Heres the big question. Chloe, if claire fell, would you carry her . I probably would. I would help her get up, ask her if she needed it and then id help her. Great. Whats the next race for you all . Well, next year in high school. Youre going into what grade . Ninth. Were going into ninth, yeah. I have a feeling any team, any coach would be more than proud to have you representing them. Well done, girls. Thank you. Thank you. Claire and chloe, thanks so much. Well follow you. Eat plenty of liquids and please stretch before you run. Im going to carry brian in our spartan today to honor you.

They brought back all 11 kurpt and former current and former cohosts of the view. There were no survivors. Actually we have the one who was on survivor. Thats right. That is almost true. It was a special day. We got to pay tribute to barbara and all shes done for us. Then look who i ran into in the hall. Hillary rodham clinton. That is Hillary Clinton. How did that go . I said hi, do you take selfies . She said at this point what difference does it make . She said of course. We took the selfie and we talked a little bit about family. Shes expecting a grand baby. I almost asked her about
benghazi and i thought not the place. Then i said why dont you come she has a book coming out i said why dont you visit with us on fox friends, to which her assistant said okay. Then she said okay. And i thought that was a yes. So i think maybe shell come. I think it would be a great conversation to have. When you were onthe view when she was running for the nomination she was on about five times. At the end of the race, ed rendell told us nobody was fair in the Mainstream Media to Hillary Clinton than fox news. I remember watching it thinking the same thing. I think it would be a fantastic opportunity to have a great conversation and reach a broad audience. And we sell a lot of books. If you have a book out, thats what you want to do. Im banking on her keeping that okay word. Maybe we should put up the selfie every day until she returns. Selfie day one. Selfie day two. In a moment were going to find out what the spartan race is all about. Ill go out on the veranda. The producers have done a great job.

He wasnt charged but was suspended for three games and had to do 20 hours of community service. An attempt to reach out to women voters has some calling for a California Assembly candidate sexist. A sacramento democrat sending out campaign pot holders addressed only to

Temperaturewise, it is very cool. A little bit unusually cool across parts of the great lakes. Chicago currently 40 degrees. Even for may, thats cool for you. 40 in kansas city. Minneapolis youre in the 40s as well. Farther west across parts of the Southern California, weve been talking about wildfires.

We have the founder of the spartan race and the author of spartan up. You see it in the background. What is it . Joe, where did this all start . Four years ago in vermont we said we wanted to find high functioning people, people willing to get off the couch and get it done. We started, we thought 50 people would show up, it is a one Million People movement globally. You believe human beings are meant to get off the couch and doing this at a regular basis, hunting for food, finding shelter,
digging holes. You should only want water, food and shelter. Right now we have an abundance of stuff in america and it is making us soft. In the book you talk about your charity aspect.

All the strength, half the weight. Welcome back. A Major Medical breakthrough in the fight against cancer. Doctors found a way to use viruses to attack and kill cancer cells. They injected one woman with the measles virus, another woman with the polio virus and know both of them are cancerfree. Does this mean potentially that a single shot cancer cure is around the corner . Joining us on the couch is dr. Manny alvarez with the medical a team. Who thought up this . This is research thats been happening in animal modeled for about a decade
or so where, you know, we know viruses when they get inside any living organism, they kill cells. This is how viruses live in our body. In animal models, we know if you expose the animal to lets say the measles virus it goes directly to cancer cells. Why cancer cells . Cancer cells tend to divide very quickly. That is the perfect incubator a virus needs. In this particular case they did a human trial. Do you think moving forward that chemotherapy can wipe out your body overall to fight against diseases, sickness outside of the cancer youre dealing with. Is this something that will have to be, if it goes forward, injected early enough before someone goes through chemotherapy treatment . Well, let me try to explain a little bit. I think this is going to be a norm of potential treatment for some people. Youre still going to have the surgical arm, still have the chemotherapy, radiation. But in this particular instance, theres a couple of things that need to
happen. First, you cant have immunity towards the virus. If you have immunity towards the measles virus, it may not work. As soon as the measles virus gets inside your body, youre going to kill it. It will never get to target. That is one of the pitfalls. This is only one human, especially for the myeloma and the other was glioma of the head where the virus was injected directly into the tumor. There are some side effects, potential side effects that can mess up your whole immune system because you get exposed to millions of viruses all at once. This is not a little shot. This is a bigtime shot. Youre right. I was going to ask you about that. Its not just the regular injection. It was, with the measles it was ten million times the regular dose. Sounds risky. Its risky. I read the article that was published the woman didnt know it was a ten million dose shot
until after it happened. Within minutes she was vomiting, she felt ill, had a temperature of 105. You see the bodys reaction wheb when you get exposed to it. Thankfully she is now cancer free. That is remarkable. Thank you, dr. Manny. Have a good weekend. Im going to go out there. Youre going to climb the wall . On doctors orders, dr. Manny from the medical a team. Good for your health. Thank you. Coming up, this video outraged so many of us yesterday. A teacher gets to keep her job after picking up that boy hes six by his face. That boy and his parents join us next. Are you racist if you like this commercial . Well, maybe. Were going to explain the argument one school has for that. Guess what today is . Its hump day.

Talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. Ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in Blood Pressure. Side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision.

Hey, buddy. Can you hear . Ill wave to you. Okay . I know you dont have a mike on. I like to see your smile. Dad, how is he doing . Doing about as well as a child that goes through Something Like this could be going through at this time. I mean, right now hes trying to work through things the best he
can. So were just trying to get him back to his normal life the best way we can. So lets go back a little bit, this is not a video that was shown to you when you first heard there was an incident at school. The superintendent down played as far as i read, and then you had to go and find the video on your own. Why . Actually they never said anything to us about a video until later on. Basically we got the video with basically a schooltype discovery pack is what we got on tuesday and found out about a video. We had absolutely no idea about that. We were told that basically there was an altercation with him and a teacher. She had grabbed him and pushed him up against a wall and was yelling at him. Thats all we were told. We obviously were mad about the situation of a teacher putting their hands on him, but to see a whole video is a whole different thing. When you read the statements, its insane that they allowed this teach tore come back after a tenday suspension. Not only that, the tenday suspension is what shes facing right now after an assault as it seems right there in the hallway against your son. But now, as i understand it, did ian remain in the classroom for two days with her until you found out about this video . He finished the day out with her on wednesday and he was with her on thursday and then they decided on friday they were going to move him for a different class. They put him into a different class and immediately iam came home the next day, said i have a new teacher, i like her. He said, i made new friends today. He was back to being happy about school again for a little while, you know. Do you believe that ten days is what this teacher should get, tenday suspension . And is ian back in school . Will he finish the year out . No, since we got the video we pulled him from school because obviously with all the Media Coverage going on, we wanted to try to shelter him a little bit from staff questioning him and everything else. We pulled him and my oldest son
out of school for the school year is over this week anyway. There wasnt anything detrimental to his education. But with the actual ten days, i mean, youre supposed to have a zero tolerance for bullying, but yet this is a teach obviously bully teacher obviously bullying a child and youre going to give her a slap on the wrist because shes been there for 14 years . Come on, if i did that to her, id be in jail. Why is it okay for her to do it to a sixyearold child . Great questions there. Ian, youre a good guy. School will be good to you from now on. When you get back there, have fun. We want to thank you all for being with us. Well stay on this. Coming up, more trouble with school much now its not okay to call your professor miss or mister . Turns out thats sexist, too,
and a veteran running for office photo shopped to look like the cowardly lion. Seriously . That lion here to react and roar good job still runnng in the morning . Yeah. Getting your vegebles every day . When i can. [ bop ] [ male announcer ] couldve had a v8. Two full servings of vegetables for only 50 delicious calories.

Secretary taking major heat over the v. A. Hospital scandal. But was he lying under oath and will eric holder even investigate . Who you calling a coward . The democrats tweeting out this picture of a congressional candidate who is also an iraq war veteran. That candidate will respond here first this hour. Do you like this commercial . I think its hilarious. Leslie, guess what day it is. Its hump day. If you think thats funny, you might be a racist. Were going to explain. What happened . Mornings are better with friends. Thank you for joining us. You are looking at the spartan race that were going to attempt. Steve, you are about to head out shortly. Use a pully, race to the finish. Its a race that goes back to the early days of man. When we used to hunt, but used to dig holes, build fire. They had scaffolding and they had rope. We used to be as beings, out there hunting for food, flipping tires that were in our way, digging holes, making our own shelter. Here is the problem, brian. What . You and i work on a couch
how good are we going to be if we work on a couch . Weve got the Upper Body Strength of lima beans. This is the worst pep talk youve ever given. When is the last time you climbed a rope . Sixth grade, wakefield middle school, junior in wakefield, kansas. You, brian . I think fourth grade. I dont think i was successful or else i would have remembered it clearly. These guys have been trying to tell me not only is it easy, then theyre flipping upside down and kick the bell with their foot. All weve got to do is hit the bell. Okay. Is there an escalator . Its not going to be pretty. On top of everything else, brian is upset that he knows that elisabeth is going to beat him. No, i didnt say that. And if i did, i said it in the break for a reason. Let her win. Shes new to the show. Are you channeling edie hill . She used to do that all the time. I used to tell her things in the break and shed say, you youre not going to believe what brian told me. Now youre doing it. Are you afraid of me . That was the story. That is my fear, that she will be carrying me. On a serious note, yesterday was dominated by the Veterans Administration hearings led by genEric Shinseki. He had to explain himself why the v. A. System is falling apart, why, when youre supposed to get treatment within 14 days, on average, its taking 245 days. In some cases, so little treatment was given that people died. Now were finding out its even more widespread than we thought. They risked their lives daily to fight for our freedom. Yet come home to sit on waiting lists where they then die waiting for health care here. Truly unfortunate, making a ton of people feel outraged on both sides of the aisle. But shinseki says hes not going to step down from the job. Six years has not done enough. He says hes mad as hell. Whats extraordinary is there have been reports in his office since 2010 that reported these gaming strategies where they had these different ways to game the system so it looked like the wait times were pretty short and that way they could boast hey, were doing things. They got incentives and bonuses. I was about to say that. Youre absolutely right. They would get bonuses to hit their number. So in other words, they were cooking the books in some cases, as weve already heard. Pete hegseth, a regular on this program, hes had it up to here with this, says shinseki has got to go. He should get fired because he failed at his job, because hes been there for six years. The department is failing veterans. Were seeing folk dying on secret lists. He wants to stand there and call it a good system. And then he stands there and says these are just isolated incidents when facts presented before him have shown this is a
widespread problem, infected v. A. System that he has been aware of and only wants the media once the media shines the light of scrutiny do they start putting people on administrative leave and even then hes doing because the i. G. Recommends it. This is not a guy leading a department right now. Not general like. By the way, we know his track record is unbelievable. What hes already done for the country in uniform. However, just because youre a great general doesnt mean youre great ceo. Clearly there is a problem with the system. Lets get your responses. Pam says people that dont do their job get fired where i work and a manager would get fired if the people they manage were not doing their job or caused harm to others. Shes intimating he should go. Steve, not doocy, said this on facebook. He is just a figurehead. It was not him that made the death list. Go after the person that led them involved. We know the 40 people involved supposedly in arizona, at the phoenix facility. There is another report that 23
vets died waiting for Cancer Screenings. Okay. The death toll is up to 60. So will the top Law Enforcement man in our country investigate . Eric holder says at this point no. Here is Charles Krauthammer weighing in last night on special report. Hes the chief Law Enforcement officer of the United States and hes waiting to hear what the media will tell him about whats been happening inside the government in the one system in the u. S. That is the most entirely government run . I think this is just stupid politics. I can understand stonewalling on benghazi and the irs and all the other stuff. But this is the v. A. This is a big mistake on his part. Yesterday jake tapper on cnn had dennis mcdonough, the chief of staff from the white house, on and he said essentially, how many dead vets do we need before heads start to roll . And mcdonough just gave him some excuses. How many more days until the commander in chief steps in . Dennis mcdonough tells him how mad he is. Everybody is mad but nobody is doing anything. Heather nauert. Shes not mad. Shes working hard here like the rest of us and will bring us some head lines. Weve got big news coming out of california. It is wildfire season. That gets us to our fox news alert. Overnight, two teenagers arrested on the suspicion of trying to start a fire at a park in Southern California. This is multiple wildfires rage across that state and tens of thousands of people in the san diego area are now on the move. They are trying to escape the flames that have so far ravaged more than 10,000 acres and killed at least one person. Well watch this story throughout the morning. Casey kasem not in danger. He was just on vacation . The 82yearold was in good shape apparently when they found him at a friends house in seattle with his wife. His daughter still has really serious concerns about her dads wellbeing. He suffers from dementia and can no longer speak. Shes been battling her stepmom
in court for the right to see her father. Also new overnight, a Russian Space launch not going exactly as planned. Just nine minutes after this rocket launched, it veered off path and caused an emergency shut down. The rocket was carrying Communication Satellite and it broke apart and then burned up in the atmosphere. And talk about a rude awakening, take a lows look at this video. Thats a bear as he pokes his head in the front door while this homeowner sleeps on the couch. This happened in california. The guy jumped to his feet, shoed away the bear by making loud noises. That frightening encounter happened two years ago, but it was just uploaded, the video, to youtube. Can you imagine that . Something wakes you up . Not your teenager, but a bear. Thats very scary. Thank you, boo boo. Thanks, heather. The pc police are working overtime today. Two stories to tell you about. Well start with this one. Do you like this commercial . Guess what day it is. Huh . Anybody . Julie, guess what day it is. Come on, i know you can hear me. Mike, mike, mike, mike. What day is it, mike . Leslie, guess what today is. Its hump day. Woo woo a lot that is hilarious. A lot of us refer to wednesday as hump day. Turns out we may be racist. At the university of saint thomas in minnesota, which is a catholic school, they were going to celebrate the end of school, which was on a wednesday, with hump day. And so they were going to bring in a camel, like a petting zoo. But a number of the University Students felt that that would be racist and make people, students from middle Eastern Countries feel bad. So the school caved. There would be no hump Day Celebration because hump referring to hump in the camel is racist. Right. Also owe phonedded were
offended were sunday, monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, saturday. So do you think thats about time we cracked down on hump day . Do you feel this is way overdue or not . What if you smoke camel cigarettes . Doesnt that make the middle easterns feel bad . I dont know. Let us know what you think about that. What if you smoked them on hump day . Wait, there is more. Yeah. So professors are demanding an end to titles like sir and miss because theyre sexist. So i couldnt say sir, referring to them in class, this is a big deal here. Do you think thats sexist as well . You can see miss but just professor . Youre talking about professor Jennifer Coates in london. She says that one of her quotes is, the men on the staff are all in their 20s and they were called sir. She said, sire is what you call the king and sir is a knight. There werent women knights, but miss is ridiculous. It doesnt match sir at all. So she wants people to stop referring to people as sir and miss and instead use your title. If off professor title, use that. But if you dont have a professor title, i dont know what you would refer to you as, mrs. Hasselbeck. Just miss. Right. Why dont we just stop talking to each other and make it easy . The problem is, were doing a talk show thats right. I keep forgetting. Hump day. There is no humping op hump day. Straight ahead, coming up, who are you calling coward . The democrats tweeting out this picture of a congressional candidate who is also an iraq war veteran. That candidate will respond for the first time next. And its a video everyone will be talking about today. The ambulance driver who drives and dances. [announcer] play closegood and close.

Youre not going to believe this, but democrats revert to go nasty name calling in a New York House race that could potentially pit republican against sixterm democratic congressman tim bishop. This comment was posted on its web site about him. Did i mention he served in iraq . Zeldon refuses to take a stand against his party wreckless budget and and the insults dond
there. They posted this picture of him as the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz. Hes here to weigh in to tell us the response. Your reaction to being called a coward . You have some liberal democrat hack who is hiding behind his twitter account, stuffs his face with cheese doodles, shameful attacks. The fact is nancy pelosi, steve israel, tim bishop, theyve never served a day and i think when i was sitting at the door on that blackhawk and you do whats so unnatural, jumping out with your parachute, fast forward to today and you have these democratic hacks out of washington who want to change the subject and fling insults and say im a coward. It doesnt fit. Your reaction is put somees y serving. Do they even understand that thats your background . They did something very similar to congressman cotton down
south, too. Yeah. I think that they realize that our strongest suit is our character, our integrity, our honor, our personal courage. So they want to attack it because theyre so desperate to hold on to power. Theyre prestige, their perks, they dont want to lose it. Theyll do anything to hold a congressional seat. So theyll try to tear down someone who for me i spent half my life serving in the military. I love it. Im proud of it. I dont want to be called a coward. You put yourself through law school by joining the rotc. You went to al beeny. You were a jag officer, but also going out on missions because you were in this thing for the last 13 years called war. I was with the a second airborne division. I still serve as a major in the army reserve, 2006. Deployed to iraq, based tekrit, with an infantry battalion. I was proud to serve with my hero, people willing to lay down everything in protection of our constitution, our freedoms and our liberties. Honored to serve and i certainly
dont want to be mischaracterized of who i am and what im about. Tim bishops area, which he held for six terms now, so hes had that, its pretty much Suffolk County on long island. But your main theme is, hey, if youre a family of four and youre making 80,000, you are not making it in this area. Between the taxes, the property taxes, the income taxes, energy costs, health care costs, it all adds up. Its very difficult to get by. And for all the issues that are facing us as a community and a nation, we need courage of people in office who are willing to put forth plans to say balance our nations budget. So the democrats, they refuse to put out a plan. Instead they just want to campaign against it and they want to scare seniors. They want to throw low income americans on the street. Its scary what theyre saying. Real quick, do you back paul ryans plan . I think that its important that we put ourselves on the
path towards fiscal responsibility. I think that there is good things and things that can be improved in it. I look forward to being part of that discussion with him next year to have hopefully a stronger plan to move forward. Thanks for your service. Its too bad the debate cant be about issues and they got to get into character. But actually its one of your strong suits. So bring it on i guess could be the message. Thanks so much. Coming up, new mothers usually get a few months off after having a baby. How about a few years . Were going to tell you who is getting that perk. And some bad news for the brady bunch. Thats the way we all became the brady bunch yep. Youre not as smart as this family. Meet the brainy bunch. Seven kids who went to college by age 12 and three more on the way. Theyre here to tell us how they did it without alice. How did we do it last time . I dont know. I forget. Feeding your lawn need not be so difficult neighbors. Get a load of this bad boy. Whoa.

its hard to describe, because you have a numbness, but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot. It was progressively getting worse, and at that point i knew i had to do something. Once i started taking the lyrica the pain started subsiding. [ male announcer ] its known that diabetes damages nerves. Lyrica is fda approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. Lyrica is not for everyone. It may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior.

Its specific treatment for diabetic nerve pain. Welcome back. Time for news by the numbers. First, three. Thats how many years in time it takes a new Pilot Program will offer airmen to start a family while getting full benefits and stipends. Next, 201. Thats how much joe biden made in royalties off his book. And finally, 1. 65. Thats how much money an average junked car contains in loose change when its shredded. Check yours before you get rid of it. Steve, you got your hands full. I do. Youve heard of the brady bunch. Today the bradies have nothing on this family. Two parents, ten kids, all home schooled and way ahead of the curve. In fact, seven graduated college by the age of 12. So how did they do it . Theyve got a great new book out called the brady bunch. Please meet kip and mona lisa and their ten children. Good morning. How who is still sleepy . Kip, lets start with you. You started your family. You and your wife had a conversation probably about what you wanted to do with your children, right . Yes. We started in Public School and actually the private school in kansas with the oldest. The oldest three went to private school. Right about the third grade, i guess, we were looking at it, thinking maybe there is a better way. My wife had a friend who was home schooling and talked to her. We missed them all day. We thought maybe we could be more efficient and accelerate them a little bit. See, thats the key. Accelerate. Youve got ten kids who how many seven in College Graduated from college started college. By the age of 12. Right. There are a lot of parents looking in right now. Theyre thinking, okay, my kid
would barely be ready for middle school at age 12. How were you able to do it . Were talk being their academics here. A lot of parents are thinking how could my kids socially do this . But theyre still kids. Theyre still they still have friends their age. Its where are they going for their academics. When people start thinking maybe they can handle some algebra at age ten, that kind of starts to make sense. Kip, stand up here with me for just a second. If you would, just go through the line of kids. Point at your children and tell us what theyre up to. We have hannah, shes studying for a ph. D. Then rosanne, an architect at cooper union. Shell graduate in september. Thats a masters architecture. Serena is a navy doctor. Very proud of her service. And actually the youngest in the u. S. , i believe still. Congratulations. And then there is heath and hes graduated with a masters in
computer science. And hes working on a business at ho wait a minute. How old are you . 18. Youve got a masters. Okay. I feel like such a slacker. Heath just graduated. Hes got a degree in music. Hes 15 years old. Masters at 15 . No, no. Bachelors. Now hes going to go on to study counseling or psychology. All right. Then there is seth. He goes to Huntington College and he is a history major. What do you want to be when you grow up . An archaeologist. All right. Very good. Then there is katrina and she is now a freshman at faulkner university. Im 11. Shes doing legal studies. I like the way you added the age. Im 11. You keep them all straight, right . It changes every year. Then there is mariana. Youre how old . Eight. Shes still home schooled. You want to be a doctor, i think . Pediatrician. Okay. Then there is lohry bee. What do you want to do when you grow up . Be a doctor. Baby doctor. All right. I kind of like her job. Its much easier asking questions. You forgot about thunder. The last. Thunder james. He just graduated from oxford no, that would be funny. With all these kids, and theyre all turning out great, what about inside . What about the pressure to forget about getting them through school, but all the pressure on you as parents. I dont think it would be any different if they were getting up and going to Public School, traditional school. Id have to deal with all those
things, all maybe bullying, maybe some of the social pressures. Its just different. The key to all your kids going to school early was you accelerated it. For people looking in, how do they do it . We have to let them do what they want to do, really. I couldnt force i dont know that thats a food good idea. As long as theyre about something constructive, were okay with it. Its like what do you want to read today . What do you want to study today . As long as its good material, you know, then its okay. Right. Let me ask the eldest daughter right up here. Youve got your parents and this book out, people are going to read about your familys story. What do you want to tell bus your parents and how they helped you achieve . I would say they both have a strong work ethic and both very disciplined. Without that, i dont think we could have done what weve done. Thats fantastic. How important is the bible, because in your book, every single chapter starts with a bible passage. Yes. Character training is very
important. Were faith based. Absolutely. We check what theyre learning everywhere with gods word. Sure. Youre doing something right because your family is beautiful and theyre on track to take over the world. Check out the book, it is called the brainy bunch. Thank you. Thank you. Real pleasure.

He can not wait to get involved and get this race
underway. Hes been talking about it all morning. This is what happened the last time he attempted to run, you were saying, brian. Underneath no, no, no you got to go underneath and the hard part is almost over, except for the electric shock theyre coming through i wouldnt want this part. I should have been a dentist i think its going to go better for him out with the spartan race. When he dove into the ice, he swears his heart stopped. So that was a negative. At least there is no ice now. Its a little humid. Right. You have a tire. This is basically what early man went through in order to you had to climb rope, climb walls and hurdle buildings in order to get food and eat fox and wolf. But i thought they we want through that so we didnt have to now. So we pavees, we got ourselves shoes and this shouldnt be happening. When we get done with it, heather will be here to take good care of us. That just didnt look like a lot of fun. Steve versus maria, round one. My bet is on maria. So is americas. Ive got some news to bring you. Listen to what this lady got away with. She is in her mid 30s, but she managed to fool everyone into thinking that she was a teenager for half a year. 34yearold charity johnson, right here, is now facing charges for pretending to be a 15yearold high school student. This is what she looked like as a high school student. Did a pretty good job, huh . Police in longview, texas, say she enrolled as a sophomore at New Life Christian School in october using a fake birth date and the name charity stevens. She even fooled the friend that
she was living with at the time. Listen to this. She gave me the same story about being abused by her biological father, then he passed away, and her biological mother was dead. I invited her into my home. The friend finally discovered the con after she got a phone call from a needy chirps group that johnson tried to join. Her motive remains a mystery. Students revolt at a Texas High School and take a look at this. Riots breaking out at the school after the school tried to suspend 200 students for violating the dress code there. Their violations included piercings, large belt buckles, open toed shoes, and untucked shirts. Students say this has they have been enforced before and theyre pretty upset about it. Theyre enforcing the rules and theyre supposed to do that, but for them to not do that all
year, the last two weeks of school and now they want to enforce it . Students now are fighting to have that policy repealed. If youre one of the millions of americans who need help get to go sleep at night, listen to this. Its a wake up call if you use lunesta. The f. D. A. Lowering the dose of that popular drug and the reason is that the pill that you take at night could actually make for a dangerous drive to work the next morning. There is new data that is showing you may not be alert enough to drive, even if you feel totally awake. The f. D. A. Is now cutting the suggested starting doses in half. Take a look at this video going viral this morning. It may make you a little nervous. An emt having a lot more fun driving certainly than we ever will. Then he takes both hands off the wheel. That may not be the picture of safe driving, but this paramedic knows how to bust a move. He was dancing to rihannas song and the video, even prompted a
tweet from the pop star herself. She said, quote, this paramedic guy reminded me of why god sent me here. Having a good time. Those are your headlines. Lets head outside to maria. Hey there. Im betting on you today. Thank you. What about me . Get out of here. Lets take a look at the weather maps because we have some big weather headlines to tell you about, especially across the northeast where there is a flood threat in place today thanks to a storm system on the move and could produce as much as three to even five inches of rain across the region. Temperature wise, below average across parts of Northern Plains and also the great lakes. Those temperatures are yet again above average across parts of the southwest where we do have an elevated fire danger continuing across Southern California. Red flag warnings are in effect. Thats what we have going on weather wise. Now its the moment youve been waiting for, steve and i face off here in the spartan race. Steve is representing men
across america. Dont put that on me i was told not to hug maria. I dont know what it is. Shes 5foot, 100 pounds. He is not. Together theyre going to compete. One on one for the right to be true spartans. True fighters. How do you feel, steve . Lets just get this done lets get going. I sense nervousness on both sides. Ready, set, go they go over the wall first. Steve pretends to. Brian is going to give him a boost right now. We are with the creator of the spartan race right now. I cant do this i will give you a dollar shear a dollar. The rope without the knot is much more difficult. Should i help her . Look at steve race up that rope look at this do you say gee on a roll. Ring that bell. Now to the other side. Steve, you got the pully. Who is going to kill steve doocy . That is the question pull and sit. Who won . Ladies first you are witnessing the first ever spartan run by steve doocy and maria. Its no longer a race. Elisabeth, i think this is more like survivor. Shes doing incredible. I think shes a natural athlete. Hes got to do some he is
stuck in a tube. Has anyone ever spent the night in the tube . People are overweight, they get stuck. You win. The rope, im going to kill you. Maria, great job. That tire looks a lot lighter than it is. Was that the most difficult part for you . No, the rope. How did they do . They did great. If they were at a real race, theyd be top 30 . Wow good job. I love these guys. At 8 30, elisabeth tries to get out of it. But well go head to head. Well see. I vote against the survivor chick. Great job. Coming up straight ahead, v. A.

This comes as we learn more about that hospital from 2011 to 2013, employees were awarded over 843,000 in bonuses and some say criminal charges may be
needed. This is shameful under any circumstances. It is ten times more shameful because its being done to the men and women who have put their lives on the line for us. If these allegations are true, people should be going to jail. Not just resigning their positions. So can and will anyone go to jail over this . Were going to ask fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. Yes, yes. They should be going to jail if they killed our veterans. There is an allegation that 40 died. There is an allegation that others died across the country, including the failure to get colon checkups after being on waiting lists. And the best that mr. Shinseki, the Veterans Administration secretary can say is that hes mad. Hes mad as hell. We hear from the president s spokesman that the president is angry. So people are mad, people are angry. And veterans are continuing to die. Nothing is happening here at all. This is the biggest con that
ive seen in america in the last couple years. And congress is perpetuating it, too, but for john mccain and a couple of others. Theyre going to have hearings. Theyre going to thank general shinseki. Thank you so much for your service, general. Youve done this for five years. Youve failed for five years. But were not going to touch you. How many veterans will have to die until this changes . How many family also have to go to the grave site and say, yeah, my husband complained, he had symptoms. He cooperate be seen for three months. But they had phony waiting lists and my husband or my sister died as a result of the v. A. s insensitivity, if not criminal negligence. So if they are able to prove these secret waiting lists are there, that these veterans died as a result of those, what then will be the punishment . Criminal negligence. Mail fraud, wire fraud. These are all federal crimes. May be state crimes involved. But ive been contacted by a bunch of veterans. I ran into two at the 911
dedication yesterday, of the memorial and the museum. Im sick of it and im sick of the scam thats going on. So this is my small part. Email me at johnson junior at fox news. Com. Or write to us here at 1211 avenue. If youre a veteran or veteran Family Member and you feel that youve been part of this scam, if you feel that youve been part of this criminal negligence, it you feel that youve been part of this coverup, contact me. We will reach out to the Inspector Generals Office and to congress and if necessary, to the u. S. Attorney in the particular jurisdiction and tell of your concern because im afraid americans concerns and veterans concerns are not being met. And they need a monitor on this. Enough with im angry, mad as hell. Do something. Shinseki has got to go. We need real change for the veterans. They gave their lives for us. Lets do something for them today. They shouldnt come home to
sit and die. Nonsense. Thanks for being on top of this. I have a feeling your email is getting full. Please. Email us and write us. Should you go see godzilla this weekend . Kevin mccarthy says yes and no. There is one part you can skip. Hes next on it. First on this day in 1985, simple minds had the number one song with dont you forget about me. Oh, man, the new godzilla movie opened world wide today. Everybody is excited about this. In fact, this week officials here in new york actually said the city could survive being attacked by godzilla. They were like look, if we can handle all the hosts of the view in one place, godzilla should be no problem at all. Hes picking on you. He is. Jimmy, im going to come get you. If people are just tuning in now, you went. How did it go . It we want well. Ill tell you about it in a little bit. In the meantime, he mentioned godzilla, does it live you want to classic version . Looks like it does. Joining us now is Fox News Contributor and founder of nerdtears. Com, kevin mccarthy, hes on with us. Godzilla, are we for it or against it . Hey, so good to be with you. Its one of the most frustrating movies ive ever had to review and here is why. The beginning is amazing. The ending is amazing. But the middle is terrible. Its absolutely awful. Theyre making huge mistakes in the first 35 minutes of the movie. A massive mistake. In the 35minute marker, which sucks the life out of the entire film. Now, for godzilla fans, the ending is amazing. Thats what you will pay to see. For me, its like when your parents tell you, im not mad at you, im just disappointed. Thats how i felt about this movie. I thought it was 2 1 2 out of five. I thought the movie kind of worked in the action sense, but overall, im giving it 2 1 2 out of five. Skip the 3d. That darkens the movie. Imax is amazing. All right. So were going to skip that. Meanwhile, hyped you is a dragon and thats the reason why you are coming to us from the mediterranean. Right. Im out here. The movie opens in june. It premieres here tonight in cannes. Im at the actual world premiere. Im going to be walking the carpet. I sat down with the stars yesterday. It was an incredible day to spend with the cast. The movie not playing in competition. There are 18 films here in competition and 20 years ago, its now the 20th anniversary of pulp fiction. It won the palm door here in cannes 20 years ago. Do yall remember that one famous scene about the royale with cheese . Check this out. Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in paris . They dont call it a quarter pounder with cheese . They have the metrics. They would call it the royale with cheese. Classic scene. I actually went to a mcdonalds yesterday and ordered a royale with cheese. We have my receipt. We have my hamburger box here. I was so geeking out. That was one of the coolest experiences ive ever had. Ordering a royale with cheese in france. Now i understand your instagram. How much was it in euros . Im trying to figure it out on your bill. I think it was like seven
euros for the combo. I got french fries. It wasnt bad at all. Im here for the festival. Its amazing. Im seeing hunter of the dragon. Im geeking out beyond belief. Write down all of this. You can expense all of it now that youre on television. And skip godzilla requesting. We got that idea. Thank you, kevin.

Com. Good morning. Its friday, may 16, 2014. Im elisabeth hasselbeck. The president promised our nations veterans this. Cut those back logs, slash those wait times, deliver your benefits sooner. Another broken promise. This time on the backs of our veterans who are paying the ultimate price. What happens now . Forget calls to someone to step down. Should someone go to jail . Geraldo rivera pedaling in to talk about that. Meanwhile, who are you calling a coward . The democrats tweeting out this picture of a congressional candidate who is also an iraq war veteran. That candidate here on fox friends this morning with his
first response to that photo shopped image. Then have you seen this video . You got a dog attacking a little boy. It looks like bad for the kid. The cat saves the day. The hero and the little boy she saved join us live this morning. According to all reports, except for when they bring the spartan Obstacle Course here and we have to race it, mornings are better with friends. Ladies and gentlemen, its ride your bike to workday. Geraldo rivera joining us here on the curvy couch. Hello. Thats great bike, by the
way. I know. You looked great on the view with all of your colleagues. So proud of you there. Youve got a great story of Barbara Walters. If you missed me the last half hour, it was me and maria molina in the spartan race. She killed you. She did. This next part after the tire brian, i know youre worried about this, too, and im trying to help maria and also trying ogive a guy a that to do it for me, but they wouldnt do it. I did that only through shear determination. Im 57 years old. Nice. Thats the first time i ever did that. It must have been the adrenaline. You went up and nailed the bell. Look at that. I was impressed. This is not an easy task. I think it kind of bonds you with the people you run it with. It does. Its brought a loft badness out of maria. She wont speak to you. She won fair and square and brian and elisabeth are going to square off against each other in a couple of minutes. Are you going to help me . I was going to put maria on the handlebars when i rode in, but i didnt think my wife would appreciate it. As long as she was wearing a helmet. Good point. We got lots to talk to geraldo about, including whether or not general shinseki should go. Were going to turn to Heather Nauert who has the news for this friday. Good morning. Were starting out talking about wildfires that are taking place out west. They had a really dry winter season contributing to this. Fox news alert now, and the question is being asked, were these wildfires in Southern California set on purpose . Two people are now under arrest at this hour. Theyre accused of trying to start at least two fires in san diego. Right now officials are still trying to figure out whether they had any involvement in the fires that have so far burned more than 10,000 acres and left one person dead. Sad news to report this morning. A top army ranger who personally made sure that american pow Jessica Lynch made it to her rescue chopper in iraq has died after he was shot by a sniper in afghanistan. Command Sergeant Major Martin Barreras was shot may 6, but he managed to make it back to the United States. Doctors say they were sure he would make a full recovery and he was set to head to walter reed for surgery. But he decided he wanted to stay closer to his wife and his children and have his operation performed in texas. But he didnt make it. He had served 22 years in the army 75th ranger regiment, going to iraq and afghanistan many, many times. Hes also served five years in the marine corps. He received a bronze star for courage. He now leaves behind his wife, two daughters, and a son. He was 49 years old. Our prayers go out to his family this morning. The pc Police Working overtime today. Two stories to tell you about. Well start here, you like this commercial . You see it all over tv. Guess what day it is. Huh . Anybody . Julie, guess what day it is. Oh, come on. Okay. If you like that commercial, you may be racist . The university of saint thomas in minnesota now canceling an event to celebrate the end of the year after some people complained about bringing a humped day camel on campus. They say it could be considered to be racist to middle eastern cultures. It was a wednesday. Then this story, a feminist professor demands an end to titles like sir and miss, claiming theyre sexist. The woman says she felt demeaned by youngsters calling her miss and she wants the titles banned from schools all together. Thats what we teach our kids. Call their teacher miss. Not anymore. Youre being insensitive. Not in the new world were in. Yes, maam. So silly. We got a lot of email from you. Bob from new jersey writing about hump day. The truth is, people who make these claims just get a rush out of making an entire University Drop a planned program. They need to feel that power. And regarding the professor against sir and miss, richard from georgia says, using sir and maam does not make you politically correct or incorrect. It shows you have some respect for other human beings. To your point, heather. Now lets switch gears. The big story yesterday was the v. A. Hospital. Very few people have been around more men in uniform than geraldo rivera. You know that general shinseki served admirably in uniform. Having said that, do you think he should go from what youve heard so far . Let me start, and i dont do this characteristically, but i want to start with the white house because i think that this is potentially the most devastating scandal to affect the Obama Administration and ill tell you why. Really . Because it speaks to competence. If indeed they can prove or and i believe they should bring the f. B. I. Now to probe this,
possibility of criminal acts, if they can prove the double books and that the books were cooked, if they can prove that the administration of the Veterans Administration, including the hero general shinseki and i told you last week how i hold him in the highest regard and hearing about this Master Sergeant who passed from the snipers bullet, these people that serve and are wounded in action and continue to serve, they are deserving of our admiration, our love, our compassion. But if they can prove a systematic failure within the Veterans Administration, the largest integrated Health Care System in the country, 6. 5 million patients of the system, if they can prove that general shinseki knew or should have known, then i think it really bodes badly for the president in the Midterm Election year because it will be hammered. You hear now general shinseki being hammered by senators left and right. Democrat and republican. I think that there must be an independent criminal probe at
this point. Does it bother you he hasnt spoken out yet . President obama . You know, i think he has commander in chief has to get his arms around it and i would, if i were advising him, i would tell him right now to make a very forceful statement, other than i have faith in general shinseki. Of course you do. But find out what really happened. It sounds like general shinseki has known since 2010. Thats with they knew about the gaming strategies at the v. A. For the last four years. And hes been at the top of it. We know of the 40 people who died in arizona waiting on the fake list that they shredded. Apparently there are at least 25 other people who were waiting for a simple Cancer Screening and they died. It looks to some like this is criminal and somebody should go to prison. Two quick points. Number one, the only National Customer Satisfaction Survey that we have compares the v. A. System favorably to private
hospitals. In other words, patients in the v. A. Like the v. A. System more than private patients like the private hospital system. Does it look at waiting lists . Having said that. If indeed we have evidence that this was cooking the books or fraudulently represented the waiting time, then that, i believe, is a crime and i do believe that with all due respect to the inspector general, that general shinseki has now ordered to probe these potential irregularities, i think you need the f. B. I. At this point. If you can have the f. B. I. Investigating whether a new york congressman used undocumented workers in the kitchen, you can have the f. B. I. Investigating this. Theyre saying eric holders investigation might take too long and we cant afford to lose more lives in our veterans in the meantime . I think you need criminal investigators. I really think you need people to forensically go and study whether or not evidence was destroyed as now is being alleged, if indeed there are two books, if there was knowledge of the fact that they were cook the books, and keeping separate waiting time lists, one to
present in the public and the other as private, whispering this guy is going to three months, six months. The v. A. Complaint has always been its not the quality of care. Its the time you wait until you get the care. Elisabeth had a big day yesterday. She was magnificent. I was so proud of her there. Like watching our own sister. Went back to the view. Yesterday was special. Barbara has done so much for so many in the industry. We just gathered together and i call us ghosting around her, but giving her thanks for inspiring us and giving us advice and we shared all our favorite memories together. It was really special. You wound up crossing trails with Hillary Clinton and you invited her on fox friends. I did. I first asked if she took selfies. She said yes. I said, you should come to fox friends and well talk. We specialize in selfies around here. Look who is talking. She gave us a smiling okay. A couple of things that were interesting to me. Ill speak about barbara in a second. But to see how few of the ladies that have been through the view share your political philosophy. Its quite extraordinary when you see everyone gathered. There is you and then its all of the other women. Welcome to new york. Quite a disproportionate in terms of political philosophy. I think star jones travels along that. Ive known barbara for over 40 years. I had a crush on her, two quick stories. I was hitting on her, we were both covering the p canal. I said come on, baby. Look at me. We were both covering it. It was romantic. She goes like this, im busy tonight. She ended up with the panamanian dictator, took him to dinner. Im trying to get the interview. This little kid sitting outside. There is barbara. She got the interview and the dictator. She didnt get him in that sense. Scoop wise. Yeah. The other one on her 75th birthday, the ladies of the
view were you still hitting on her . Still hitting on her. In recognition of that, they had me jump out of her birthday cake. I remember that. I remember that. That was her favorite cake. I wasnt topless. I remembered it wrong. I felt topless. I did not have sex with that woman. Overall, its another show today, isnt there . Yeah. Today is her time, final day. What a pioneer shes been. Role model for so many. Aside from the fact the first woman anchor, shes really about such a feisty and wonderful reporter. She practically made peace in the middle east by getting baggen and sadat to sit down with each other. She was barting and arbitrating that momentous occasion. Castro, the first time he came out of his shell and talked to people on our side of the
did he come out of a shell or out of a cake like you . Maybe he really was topless. Thank you very much for remembering. Has a great amount of respect and care for everyone on this couch, too. Thats great. Today is her last day. Geraldo, well see you back here next week. Thank you. Coming up straight ahead, we give them billions of dollars each year. Russia is telling the under the circumstances us, no more rides to the moon. Senator bill nelson joins us next to weigh in. You watched steve and maria go through the spartan race together. But guess what, brian is promising hes going to hold nothing back when he faces me. Who wrote that . I did not say that. I was misquoted on my own show. The prompter turned against me.

Moscow announcing it will reject a u. S. Request to use the International Space station beyond 2020. And no longer let washington use russian made rockets for military use as well as a form of transportation. This despite the fact we pay 70 million per flight to the International Space station, which i believe were coowners of. So what does all this mean . Lets ask the man qualified to answer of the u. S. Senator from florida, and former astronaut, senator bill nelson. Can they do this . Can they say america, you cant use the Space Station and were not taking you up there anymore . The fellow who is saying all this stuff, he was sanctioned because of mr. Putins aggressiveness. They froze his bank account and he doesnt like it. And so hes lashing out. The fact is, were still going to ride on the russian rockets until we get our own humanly safe rockets ready in about two or three years. And the reason that we will is the russians cant operate the Space Station without us. Dont we own it . Since when do they own the International Space station . They currently have the way of transporting us there. They dont own it. Thats correct. Most of the International Space station, which is 15 countries, by the way, most of it is the u. S. For example, the russians get all of their electricity from
u. S. Systems. The russians have components on it. The russians were very good in building it with us. This cooperation goes back to the cold war with the soviet union when apollo soyuz and soviet spacecraft rand viewed and docked and they lived together in space in the middle of the cold war. Rhetoric aside, how is it that were depending on the russians . Were far ahead of them in our technology and our space exploration. How did we end up without rockets and how close until we get our own . Here is what happened. At the end of the soviet union, the disintegration, we went in there to keep their rocket scientists from going to iran and north korea and worked out a deal that this incredible engine that they have that we would buy it. It is the main first stage
engine on some of our most important rockets, the atlas 5, that puts up military and commercial space load. So at the end of the day, were going to have to build a new engine to replace that because theyre threatening theyre not going to sell that engine to us for military. For commercial, they havent prohibited that. Listen, we need a major speech about this, get america rallied around this and give new credence to the space program. We have allowed it to wither on the vine and i dont think its right and i know you agree. Especially in florida. Senator bill nelson, thanks so much. Have a great day. You, too. Coming up straight ahead, a frightening new warning on something millions of americans are using to get a good nights sleep. Pay attention to that. Then youve seen the video. A dog attacking a little boy. Then a cat steps in to save the day. Im not talking about a cartoon if youre listening on radio. This happened. Youll meet that boy, youll meet the hero live when we come back and that lovely family. Dont miss a step. Nothings missed with tenatwist dont miss a beat.

24 minutes after the top of the hour. We got some headlines for you making headlines overseas. Look at that. That dramatic video is from syria. It shows the exact moment Syrian Rebels blew up an army base with 60tons of explosives by bombing through an underground tunnel that they dug. In india, change coming to the Worlds Largest democracy. The Opposition Party heading for a landslide election. Voters kicking out the gandhi family. They have been in control for all but ten years since the
country won independence back in 1947. Elisabeth hasselbeck, over to you. Thanks, steve. Well, it is safe to say that our next guest is the most popular cat in america. Shes the fearless feline who saved a little boy from a vicious dog attack. And it was all caught on camera. Fouryearold jeremy was playing outside at his home when a neighbors dog attacked him and thats what you see here. Cat tara sprang into action and chased that dog off, saving him. He joins us this morning with his parents, and tara the hero cat is here. Good morning to you all. Good morning. Good morning. Okay. I see one tired little fellow there. He certainly is. A big week for him. And his protector, tara is right by his side. This is interesting because most people find cats more independent. They sort of get the rep for that. But it seems as though tara has
a serious bond with you guys. Yeah. She definitely is independent for the most part. But she does have her loving moments when she wants to come in and be loved. Thats what kind of made us post the video was the fact weve never seen anything like this before in a cat standing up for someone getting attacked. It was impressive. Impressive, it was life saving right there. If you could walk us through, erica, you actually were watering plants, i hear, and then you see this dog and hear this dog coming up on jeremy, who is only four years old and sound asleep now, but tell us what happened. What did you see . We were just getting off the bus. I was watering some plants before we went inside and he was just kind of enjoying himself on the warm afternoon. The next thing we know, he was just on the ground being pulled
by the dog and before i could even get to him, tara had that dog. She jumped in. She literally saved him. You attempted, too. Im seeing something on jeremys leg right here. Two questions, how severely hurt is he . And are you hurt . And also, is this a dog youre familiar with and has this happened before . The bandage on his leg, is it stitches . He has ten stitches. They had to do two stitches on the inside of each wound and then three stitches on the outside. He didnt really enjoy that. He told us the doctor punched him, unfortunately. But he got wrapped up and fixed up. He made sure his little leg was decorated with the cars sticker and he thinks thats pretty neat. Thats great. I actually got bit as well. Nothing compared to my son. Nice and large bruise, unfortunately. Im sure thats a bruise youre happy to take in an attempt to help your sweet little guy there. But roger, let me ask you this, the dog was a neighbors dog and i know that he was heard barking before. Did you ever expect that this would happen and then what do you want to happen moving forward . You know, we really didnt expect it to happen. The dog has been aggressive when hes on the other side of the fence, but not to the point where we have been afraid that something would happen when he was out front, hes usually with his owners. When he was with them, he always acted fairly normally, like you would expect a dog to act. So we didnt really have any tell tale signs that this was imminent. But just watching the video, it seems like the owners werent there and they were a little bit away from the i want incident
when it happened. The dog kind of took to his own and went after my son. Its an unfortunate i want. If tara was not there, i mean, its awful to think of the worst. But things would have turned out differently, do you think . Definitely. If she hadnt been there, i dont know how i would have gotten the dog off. Im sure i would have gone in and tried to grab him myself and the dog might have bit me worse than it did. I dont know if i could have gotten him off my son without hurting him worse. In an attack like that, seconds matter. A hero cat right there, tara who loves your family and were glad jeremy is resting andg the. Were glad everything is okay, Important Message to send. Take care. Thank you. We are, too. Coming up, the president promised our nations veterans

You and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. All prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. They all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death.

Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Dont take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides.

Com and ask your doctor about celebrex. For a body in motion. This is cool. Today all 11 current and former cohosts of the view reunited to honor barbara wallets before her final show tomorrow. They all had a really nice things to say about her, unfortunately, it was all at the same time. Pregnant it. Good luck. Forget it. Good luck. Wbr id wbr92750 hes making a joke about you, elisabeth hasselbeck, who was there yesterday. Yeah. No cross talk actually, jimmy. Everyone was polite and kind and let barbara have her moment. Look who is here. Its chris wallace. Time to plug his show on sunday. I come because i want to visit with you guys. I figure im up with of the friends of fox. b
of course. I come here to visit with you. There is no ulterior motive here. We dont have to mention our show or the exclusive interview with dick and liz cheney or the fact that karl rove will be on to talk about Hillary Clinton or that were going to be talk being the v. A. Scandal. I dont want to talk about any of that. What do you want to talk about . Chris wallace, thank you very much. Well be watching you. Now listen, chris, you know what its like to go back with reunions, right . Youve been to a high school reunion. He knows Barbara Walters. What do you think of elisabeth going back . How do you feel about her emotions . Do you have a barbara moment you want to share . Look, i had the great good fortune when i was at abc to work with barbara for a while and elisabeth will agree. Shes such a great pro. Relentless, tough, fiercely competitive. One of the things 2003 in the business, people who interview people for a living, youre always thinking, even if its not your interview, how i would have asked them or what i would
have said and you think, boy they didnt do this right. One of the things i always felt watching a Barbara Walters interview was this she squeezed the sponge dry. When it was over, she had gotten everything out of that person there was to get. A total pro. I think she people probably have a few scars from having gone up against her and competed with her, but i dont think anybody leaves thinking that she wasnt just a total professional and a great, great journalist. Get this, she still is getting the big interviews. Through the Donald Sterling scandal, she still is nailing the big guys. So to speak. You have to be careful how you say that. Interviews wise. I dont know what youre talking about. Nailing the big guys. You want a do over on nailing the big guy . No. Chris and i have a certain vocabulary. He knows what i mean. Hes going to continue. She gets the big interview. Brian, really. Hello, youtube. Im glad all of you are watching out there. Thats another big point about why she was so great, which is the fact that i think people felt that she treated them fairly. She wasnt easy. She always asked the tough questions. But it wasnt about her and gotchas and i think thats up with of the reasons that the big guys were willing to be nailed by her is because of the fact that they knew theyd get a fair hearing. Let me ask but fair here, shifting gears, as it relates to the v. A. And the wbrid wbr94550 hearing. It seemed to be unusually unpartisan or bipartisan in terms of the grilling of Eric Shinseki. Why do you think that is . Well, because there is no partisanship when it comes to the veterans. Look, its very simple. These are people that were willing to risk their lives and defend our country, in many cases, these great men and women were injured in service of our country. To be a little cynical about it,
theyre also an enormous voting bloc and so whether youre republican or democrat, there are no two sides to this issue. Veterans didnt receive proper treatment, if they were being messed over, god forbid if some of them died because they couldnt even get an appointment. There are no two sides to this issue. There is only one side, which is fix it. By the same token, you would think there would be no argument between the two parties if the federal government in the form of the irs is punishing somebody during the political system, where they targeted the tea party, or if four americans are killed in benghazi. You would think that that would also be bipartisan and outrage. Yet, its not. No. I mean, i take your point there. Obviously there are things that are just right or wrong. I just would say that the veterans and thank god for this, theyre kind of above politics. And youre exactly right, most
things arent above politics, but the vets are. Chris, i want to check you on that. Are people going to be saying how could this happen over the last six years . How could in 2009 the wait be 45 days, and in 2014, the wait is 245 days to get an appointment . I was reading Something Interesting in the paper yesterday. I dont know if its true. Were going to explore this on fox news sunday. But i have heard that there has been a huge increase in the demand for v. A. Medical services in the last couple of years. Its about doubled. Im not saying thats an excuse for this kind of treatment, but there may be a reason. And apparently the number of v. A. Doctors has gone down. So this may not be a simple thing of people were sitting there reading the comic books instead of taking care of veterans. It may be that we need more a lot more doctors and need to spend more money, whatever we need to do, do it. Whether or not Eric Shinseki is the right guy to do that, thats
legitimate question. I think it goes way beyond one guy into how the whole system has worked and lets hope that they get it together, although going back to other issues, when you see how much trouble we have with something as easy as a web site, you wonder how good its going to be or how effective the government is going to be in dealing with hundreds of thousands of people who have really Serious Health needs. Absolutely. The great chris wallace, plugging his show. Tune in sunday, former Vice President dick cheney and his wife, lynn, also karl rove, who had a big week. Youve got a lot to chew on. Thats why that man nails the big interviews. Making history there, chris. Thank you. I think we almost got out of this interview with our dignity intact, but no thanks to brian. Thank you. Friday, we have two days to write our apologies. Hey, heather. Ive got a story about politics. He is an iraq war veteran and running for congress. Whats so cowardly about republican lee zeldin . , the campaign arm of the house democrats, a comparison so the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz. They say he needs to decide where he stands on congressman paul ryans budget. Zeldin hadnt spoken about this until this morning on fox friends. Listen to this. You have some liberal democrat hack who is hiding behind his twitter account, stuffing his face with cheese doodles, shameful attacks. I think that they realize that our strongest suit is our character, our integrity, our honor, our personal courage. By the way, his democratic opponent has not served in the military. If youre one of millions of americans who need help getting toly. The f. D. A. Is lowering the recommended dose of the sleeping drug, lunesta.

A touching display of true sportsmanship by twin sisters at a track meet in illinois. Halfway through the race, one sister felt something pop in her leg and fell to the ground. Khloes sister, claire, who was behind her in the race, picked her sister up and carried her to the finish line. They were here earlier on fox friends. She sat me down right before the finish line and kept pushing me to go first. I didnt want to go first. I wanted her to finish with me. It just came like natural to me, like i have to help her. I have to have her finish. Khloe said if claire fell, that she would carry her, too. And those are your headlines. Thats what you guys will be doing outside today, right . Carrying one another. Who is carrying whom is the question. Yeah. Can elisabeth carry me over the wall . Well see. Good job, heather. Were going to go change. Before, let me tell you whats coming up next.
