FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting May 30, 2016

Well be talking with an iraq war vet, the subject of a new documentary about the war wounds that arent always easy to see. All of it begins right now. Hello, im Gregg Jarrett in for shep. A thirdparty candidate has entered the race for the white house. He says he thinks he has chance because surveys show the major party frontrunners are two of the most disliked and distrusted politicians in the country. Former new mexico governor gary johnson won the libertarian nomination for president yesterday at the partys convention . Orlando, florida, johnson was a republican when he was governor. He was also the libertarian president ial nominee in 2012 and won less than one percent of the vote. This time around, take a look at this. A recent fox news poll showing johnson getting 10 in a matchup against donald trump and Hillary Clinton. That poll has trump beating clinton by three points but without johnson in the race the survey shows trump winning by the same margin. Gary johnsons running mate is another former republican governor, William Wells of massachusetts. Johnson told fox news he believes they can draw support from both ends of the political spectrum. Were small government guys and also socially liberal. I think that is the makeup of most people in this country. I think the Libertarian Party actually represents most people in this country, but they just dont know that theyre libertarians. Heres the catch. To get on a president ial debate stage, well, johnson is going to have to boost his poll numbers from 10 to 15 , which is manageable. We do have team fox coverage today. Bryan llenas on the democratic race, rich edson on republican critics of donald trump. First to james rosen in washington. Donald trump has been make something appeals this Holiday Weekend to veterans. Right . Reporter thats right, gregg. Good afternoon. In addition to touting veteran care, trump touched on gun ownership rights telling the Rolling Thunder that hack human being would abolish the second amendment, something the Clinton Campaign denies. Trump neated his recent endorsement by the National Rifle association and another point fused the subject of veterans care with his signature issue, immigration. We have to take care of our vets, and in many cases Illegal Immigrants are taking much care really are taken much better okay by this country, taken care of, than our veterans and thats not going to happen. Okay . Its not going to happen. Were not going to allow that to happen any longer. On the subject of health care, trump told the veterans if elected theyll have access to private medical care and well, quote, pay for it. Is trump making progress unidentifying republicans. He is perhaps not as quickly as the presumptive g. O. P. Nominee might like in part due to some selfinflicted wounds, like the controversy over his denigration of the new mexico governor, a republican feel mail latina who some superintendented as a possible running meat. Martinez had previously been critical of donald trump. Last week he condemned her as, quote, not doing the job. Trump is now the head of the Republican Party as a republican nominee. What we know is that he brings people together. And him and paul ryan are going to have a great relationship because at the end of the day, the choice is binary. You have Hillary Clinton in the white house or you have donald trump. And that, of course, on the enduring controversy between House Speaker paul ryan, who has yet to endorse trump. And the presumptive nominee. Lieu want down lewandoski claimed trump was only discussing the Economic Situation in new mexico instead of attacking her. Except he used her name when leveling the criticism. Thats tough one. She had given perhaps as good as she has gotten over the paster two months. She had been very critical, governor martinez, on donald trump on his tone only immigration and women so he was only returning fire from where he sits. James, thank you so much. Thank you. Some republicans say they are skeptical of donald trump for the same reason they oposed president obama. Comes down to the use of executive power. Rich edson is live in washington with more. Who are these republicans . Reporter good afternoon, gregg. Theyre primarily those in the Freedom Caucus, about three dozen of the most conservative house republicans. Theyre often at odds with their own house leadership. Once spearheading challenges to then speaker john boehner, and also declared president obamas use of executive authority, from orders on immigration and gun control to polson bathroom and locker assignments for transgender students in public schools. Donald trump says he plans on using executive orderses to institute his own policies. Some Freedom Caucus members say they would oppose any president , even a republican, if they abused their executive authority. As a republican president who tries to overreach using his executive privilege, there would be republicans here to push back against him. Trump has also promised to resipped Obama Administration orders he has issued over the last couple of terms. As trump been trying to address these concerns . As with other issues and statements the Presumptive Republican nominee is explain can go tempering his previous positions and said he would negotiate with congress and denies he would use executive authority more than president obama and says its a negotiation back and forth with congress, and he will not sign that many executive orders, and fails to offer too many specifics when it comes to where precisely he could, other than undoing what president obama has done. Trumps support varies, some support him, others have concerns though will vote for him to defeat Hillary Clinton other. S oppose him or just refuse to comment. Rich edson, live in washington. Thank you. To at the themcrats now. Bernie sanders is calling california, the, quote, big enchilada of the primary season but is not ready to pack it in. Even if he loses there. Obviously if we dont do well in california, it will make our path much, much harder. No question about it. But i think we have a good chance to win in california, maybe win big, and maybe win four or five of the other states that are up on june 7th. Reporter he could. The poll shows the vermont senator making up bigground in california but still trails Hillary Clinton by eight points according to the real clear politics average of polls and is down by nearly 800 in the delegate count, according to the associated press. Clinton, 70 delegates shy of clinching the nomination. That includes the super delegates. Sanders claims he can convince them to switch sides. Really. Bryan llenas is live in new york where Hillary Clinton lives. And is spending memorial day. Bryan, how is sanders making his case to the super delegates . Come on, lets switch. Reporter hi, gregg. Senator Bernie Sanders believes if he can win a big majority of the delegates on june 7th, tuesday, when six dates vote, he can go into perhaps the convention with big momentum and perhaps even with a slight delegate lead and athlete that point he is hoping he can convince some 400 super delegates, who can choose who they want to vote for, to side with him and not Hillary Clinton. But its a long shot. Hillary clinton is 73 delegates short of clinching the nomination and is expected to do so by tuesday, june 7th. Today Hillary Clinton spend the day with her husband at the citys memorial day parade. She has lived here since 1999, and sanders continues to campaign in california all weekend. Attacking trump, saying he is a danger the world while mocking him for not accepting a oneonone debate for him and for true. s recent comments there is no drought in california. You see we dont fully appreciate the genius of donald trump, who knows more than all the people of california, knows more than all the scientists and he knows there is no drought. Reporter part of the sanders plan is to convince voters and delegates he is the tougher opponents for trump. Bryan, the calls to drop out are certainly there, but sanders is like the 75yearold energizer bunny who keeps going and going and going. Reporter yeah. He is not only campaigning and continued to campaign. He is lifting up and increasing his attacks, continuing to go after Hillary Clinton. This time with a new ig report on christian to bes private email server saying its not good for her and that its something that voters and delegates should take a hard look at, and Democratic Leaders this weekend are calling on him to drop out and to unify the party. Senator sanders has the right to run, no question. He ought to be able to read the sign posts as well as anybody else. And if he did that, he would know that its all but over. Reporter that was the senator of the allimportant state of california. This weekend, the Sanders Campaign formally asked that the dnc fire two cochairman because of their bias, calling them hillary supporters. The dnc denied that request but the Sanders Campaign says theyre going to bring up the issue at the Democratic National convention. Well wait and see. Bryan llenas. Thank you very much. Well, its just about impossible for Bernie Sanders to score the nomination but he could still be a threat to Hillary Clinton, according to a political reporter who says sanders could turn this summers convention into a circus. Really. Well talk about that. With him next. We asked a group of young people when they thought they should start saving for retirement. Then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. This gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us arent prepared for retirement. Just start as early as you can. Its going to pay off in the future. If we all start saving a little more today, well all be better prepared tomorrow. Prudential. Bring your challenges. This clean was like pow. Everything well . It felt like i had just gone to the dentist. My teeth are glowing. They are so white. 6x cleaning , 6x whiteninga in the certain spots that i get very sensitive. I really notice a difference. And at two weeks superior sensitivity relief to sensodyne i actually really like the two steps step 1 cleans and relieves sensitivity, step 2 whitens. Its the whole package. No ones done this. Crest healthy, beautiful smiles for life. More politics now. How will the new libertarian nominee shake up the president ial race . A lets bring in paul singer, washington correspondent for usa today. Great to have you here. Thank you for having me. In the past, as we pointed out earlier, the libertarian candidate wasnt even reaching one percent. Now the latest fox news poll is ten percent, and he hasnt really even launched his campaign much. Where do you see this going and who might he siphon votes a. From, clinton or trump . Well in theory he could siphon from both of them. The libertarian has the small Government Spending policies that appeals to republicans and also have the social issue kind of hands off my bedroom issues that appeal to democrats. Theyre very in favor of legalized marijuana. Might appeal to Bernie Sanderses supporters. Were talking about 537 votes swung the election in florida in 2000 and that swung the white house. You dont have to have a huge impact to have a huge impact. Theres a principle in politics called the lesser of two evils. When people are faced with two really bad choices sometimes they look elsewhere. Its clear that clinton and trump are the most distrusted and disliked politicians in modern american history. So, is the timing here ripe for a guy like gary johnson . Gary johnson or someone else. Im not convinced this is the last third party well have in the race. There other third parties, Green Party Candidate on the ballot. A Constitution Party candidate, and we still think its possible that a never trump republican would get into the race. Someone who sort of hears the the call of mitt romney saying we need to drag the Republican Party back from donald trump, who we dont fully trust. There could be a flock of candidates on the ballot who complicate the math for both candidates. And big crist was saying something is going to be an independent candidate. It was a horrible week last week for Hillary Clinton. The inspector generals report comes out and it found that she was completely misleading and distrustful in five of her main statements relating to the defense of her email scandal. How much does this hurt her . Well, it doesnt help. Gets back to what you were saying about the unlikability factor, Hillary Clinton comes to this election with 30 years of baggage, every statement she has made on all of these cases if the email scandal had been a thing where the ig said she didnt do anything wrong, didnt do anything right, wish she had done things better, might have been enough to make photo away. The way the report comes out it says she shouldnt have done the things she did and that doesnt help her maybe it go away. It goes right to the thing that people dont like about her. She parses her words and isnt trustworthy. Assuming Hillary Clinton will wrap up the needed delegates for the nomination. What could Bernie Sanders do at the convention . Well, a lot of things. Even if he is not going to win, remember that the Party Platform still has to be committed and voted on at the convention and Bernie Sanders will have enough delegates, we think, to force notes on a bunch of positions leak 15 minimum wage, something that Hillary Clinton has not endorsed nationwide. And Bernie Sanders forced the party to vote on it and have the National Party endorse it. Campaign finance reform, even abolition of super delegates, things that go on within the party voting structure at the convention. Bernie sanders can force a bunch of us live debates internal to the party on to the National Stage where everybody will be watching. Paul singer, good to see you. Thank you for being with us this memorial day. Thank you, and thanks to our vets. Okay. Cincinnati zoo officials responding to critics about the killing of gorilla after a boy fell into his closure.

Zoo officials in Cincinnati Holding a News Conference about the shooting and killing of a gorilla after a young boy fell into its enclosure. A moment ago they said the gorilla was slamming the boys head against a concrete barrier. Lets listen in. We have a renowned Reproduction Program for ebb dangered wildlife. The reproductive biologists collected viable sperm from him which are important to bank on a real endangered species for genetic reasons and future population in zoos inch addition we have been contacted bay number of scientists work only genetic issues with gorillas, and so most of that is in the stored tissue. [inaudible question] his sperm was saved. Not the end of this gene pool in addition he is he and his lineage are part of an ongoing breeding program. Gladys, the three or fouryearold gorilla in our exhibit, came from the zoo in texas and she is his half sister. You praised the way the responders handled. The boy was in there ten minutes. Could they have reacted quicker . I think we reacted remarkably quickly, and we were remarkably fortunate that the boy wasnt hurt. How tall was the barrier and how many feet of bushes were there before the dropoff . The barrier is a little over three feet high, and the distance between the barrier and the drop zone there is about four feet deep. 15foot drop. Uhhuh. And youre the water. Correct. Try to balance the safety of the patrons versus the durable to access and see the animals . There is a takeway, message for parents and people who take kids to the zoo . Sure. Very fortunately, this zoo is a longstanding beloved institution in cincinnati so i think people recognize that we care about our animals. I spent the last couple days walking on the grounds, and i many people, strangers talk up and say theyre are so haramb
