FOXNEWSW The Kelly File May 7, 2014

More than a month now in a dangerous mexican prison. This is by far the hardest mainly because its the fear of the unknown. Congressman Duncan Hunter is here with a message for the white house on a busy night for the kelly file. Breaking tonight, results now coming in on the first big primary day of the 2014 election season. And in at least one key senate race, the results so far are not what democrats were hoping for. Welcome to the kelly file. Im megyn kelly. The big race to watch tonight in North Carolina where one of the most vulnerable democratic incumbents is fighting for her political life. But senator kay hagans primary is not what she has to worry about. Instead, political analysts say her future is tied to what happens on the republican primary side tonight, and she knows it. She even spent money to defeat one particular republican who was vying to run against her, and it appears to be a very good night for that republican tonight. Chris is our fox news digital ed por. There were all these republicans trying to get the nod so they could run against kay hagan. The one she didnt want, tell us who he is and tell us what we know about him and the results tonight. Well, what we know so far is tom tillis, hes the speaker of the house, hes from down in the charlotte metropolitan area, and he is well ahead of where the rest of the republicans would like to see him at this point as the vote comes in, and hes certainly well ahead of where kay hagan would like to see him because the name of the game for democrats is to see if they could force republicans into a Runoff Election that would take them into july. It would be expensive. It would be divisive, and it would damage their chances to unseat the woman i say is probably the most vulnerable incumbent democrat in the country because if this primary is over tonight, you can watch kay hagans seat start to fall off the table for democrats. Shell struggle to raise money, struggle to get help if tom tillis is the nominee tonight. Why though . So youre saying National Democrats are likely to walk away from kay hagan, not spent money on her race, thereby more control, possible seizure, but why . Why would they abandon her based on what wins on the gop primary side . Tillis is a more moderate kind of republican. He has a high name identification in the state already, but the most important thing in this race is probably the weakness of kay hagan as a candidate. Shes a freshman. She got elected in a weird moment in North Carolina when barack obama won the state narrowly, but won it in 2008. Those circumstances have changed dramatically, so without the advantage of having either a weak republican nominee or a long fight, it doesnt look like she has a very good shot. How is it going . What do we know about tillis results this evening . Put it this way. Hes doing better than he needs to in the places where we didnt think hed do well at all. Were going to go back to chris as we get updates on that news. Chris, thank you. You bet. Also breaking tonight, new details on the select Committee Investigating how the white house and the administration handled the ben za give terror attack. We just learned moments ago this committee will be made up of seven republicans and five democrats if the democrats decide to participate, which they have been making noise about but are believed to be prepared to do. They would have authorization to conduct a full investigation finding out what contributed to this attack that killed four americans, including our ambassador. With specific focus, were told, on, quote, executive Branch Communications about the attacks. Some are suggesting the committee should recruit a hardcharging attorney to pursue the case, and my next guest has been mentioned as a top contender for the job. Andrew mccarthy is a former federal prosecutor and National Review contributing editor. The select committee will have a staff counsel who basically prepares trey gowdy and pushes this investigation along. Your name is coming up in many, many circles. Are you the man for the job . Theyre trying to demote me, and im not going to have it. Why not . In all seriousness, i would be from an ethical stand point, i think it would be wrong for me to even consider it if somebody thought to offer it to me because the one thing you dont want to have in any situation is somebody who is out doing commentary and who has made conclusive statements about what he thinks has gone on here run an investigation, the point of which is to dig to get what the actual because you would appear to have biased. And, look, we know from prior investigation that is this is what they do. They attack the person doing the investigation in the hope of sort of obfuscating what the facts are. Picking somebody like me would give them good ammunition to do that because i would, i think, credibly be accused of being biased in the sense of having already drawn some conclusions. You do think that theres fire where weve found some smoke. Who do you think is an appropriate candidate for this role, which is very important to help prepare trey gowdy and push this thing . There are a lot of very fine former assistant u. S. Attorneys. I think its very important you get somebody who has actually done investigations rather than somebody whose specialty is appellate argument and that sort of thing. Got to be an in the trenches attorney. A guy like george terwilliger, smart, very experienced. You can think of a ton of guys, Miguel Estrada is one of the rare guys who can do great work and build a case. He was kept off the federal bench by democrats a long, long time. He never did take the bench. But has a lot of credibility. How important is it that the person they select have an understanding and a knowledge of islamic extremism . I think its crucially important because in my mind to understand this transaction, you have to go a couple years back from september 11th, 2012, to the actual intervention, the war that we really instigated against the regime that at that point in time the American People were told was an important american counterterrorism ally. And nonetheless barack obama bombed libya without the approval of the u. S. Congress. And foreseeably that empowered jihadists, particularly in Eastern Libya and they turn out to be the same jihadists who were involved in the twakt. You think that establishes the political motive to down play the situation in benghazi, make it look like everything was secure, make it look like it wasnt a terror, just about a video, not to worry. I dont think its just my speculation about that even if its informed speculation. The email says that. The ben rhodes email says lets show that this was instigated by an internet video, not a broader failure of policy. It will be important who this staff counsel turns out to be. It will not be andy mccarthy. Good to see you. Nice to see you. Breaking just a short time ago, new developments in a rape case generating outrage across the country. You may have heard them discuss this on the factor but a man admits to raping a 14yearold girl. A judge gives him only 45 days in jail, 5 years probation, and Community Service at a Rape Crisis Center. Hello, hello. We just got done speaking with that Rape Crisis Center, and Trace Gallagher has this. This is incredible, trace. Reporter and that Rape Crisis Center tells us they would never allow this rapist anywhere near their rape victims. Listen to part of this. The most common question were asked is, why dont people report . Why dont people go through the criminal Justice System . This is the prime example of what victims fear every day of their lives, of being judged and blamed for their own victimization. In fact, even the victim in this case now wishes that she had never come forward and here is why. The rapist, a man named sir young, admits the 14yearold told him no and told him to stop but that he raped her anyway in the band room of their high school. Yet unlike other sex offenders, he doesnt have to stay away from children, seek counseling, or refrain from pornography. Judge Janine Howard explained her slap on the wrist sentence by saying, the girls not the victim she claims to be going on to say, the girl had texted young asking him to spend time with her. The girl had agreed to have sex with him but just didnt want to at school and medical records show the girl had had three sexual partners and had given birth to a baby. The girl says she never had a baby and that she was a virgin at the time. Listen now to the dallas district attorney. As a judge, you have to have good judgment, and, unfortunately in this case, this judge just had bad judgment. Reporter the judge has now recused herself from the case but says, and im quoting here, there are rape cases that deserve life. There are rape cases that deserve 20 years. Every now and then you have one of those that deserves probation. This is one of those, and i stand by it, and if the rapist stays clean during his probation for the next five years, this does not go on his permanent record. Unbelievable. I mean, its unbelievable. Trace, thank you. Reminder, we are expecting the actual results any moment now on that Big Senate Race in North Carolina which could potentially lead to a gop controlled senate. Could be part of it. Plus when hugh was in afghanistan, he was a brave, committed warrior to the cause, to the american cause. Now hes defeated, demoralized, hopeless. A u. S. Marine jailed in mexico over what Officials Say was a simple mistake. So why is he not free after weeks in prison . Where is our state department . Congressman Duncan Hunter next with a message for the administration. Then a father shows up to a school board to complain about what he calls a pornographic book being assigned to his 14yearold. See how that got him arrested. Plus, why did vanity fair just give huge play to a new feature on Monica Lewinsky and her affair with the president . And how does this affect a hillary run . The answers ahead. I didnt choose it. I didnt choose to become a public person. The way i came into the public spotlight was pretty tragic for me and for my family and my friends. Really.

Recipient of the j. D. Power appeal award, two years in a row. I said i have three guns, and i showed them where the guns were, and they check out the guns, and i say i didnt even mean to be in mexico. It was a mistake for me to be here. Can i just go back to the border . Five minutes later i was surrounded by like 20 military officials and Police Officers with guns watching me. Well, that was marine corps Sergeant Andrew tamaressi describing what happened after he missed an exit while driving south in california. In a nightmare chain of events that landed him in mexico and n then in a notorious mexican jail for weeks. One lawmaker writing secretary of state john kerry directly demanding the United States do whatever it takes to bring this sergeant home. That lawmaker is congressman Duncan Hunter, himself a veteran. Congressman, good to see you. So this sergeant was suffering from recently diagnosed posttraumatic stress disorder. He had three guns in his car which are banned in mexico, and he entered mexico saying he got lost trying to reach a different destination in california. How confident are you that this was genuinely an innocent mistake . I am very confident. For those people that dont live down by the border, theyre doing a lot of construction work down there. Its actually very easy to get turned around, and what happens is if you miss the last turnoff and youre just kind of driving and youre zoned out thinking about something, you can then cross the border and then youre in mexico, and then guess what . You have no power. Youre not covered by the constitution anymore and the police can put you in jail. Hes been held in a prison built for 2600 prisoners but it has more than 7,000. His mother claims hit men were threatening to beat, rape, and kill him. Hes reportedly stabbed himself in the neck after experiencing some trauma there. Yeah. They have him in solitary confinement, then hes fine. If hes not, his life is in danger. Its mexico. Theres more murders in mexico than weve had deaths in afghanistan since weve been there in 2001 in one year. Its a really dangerous place. What this shows me mostly is the impotence and ineptitude of john kerry and the state department. You dont have middle east peace, you cant stop putin into crossing borders into free countries and you cant get a former marine out of a mexican jail. This administration frankly i dont think cares about this marine and i dont think kerry has the power to do anything about it. This is going to take the American People caring and, frankly, the american or the mexican attorney general probably has the best hes in the best seat here to take care of this. So were going to be appealing forget kerry. Were going to be appealing to the mexican attorney general to expedite the case so he doesnt have to wait until i think its may 25th until the next hearing how do you know the state department is not doing anything . Because theyve refused to comment. Because they have a really, really bad track record. When my dad was in congress in the 90s, he went down to mexico to literally free a marine out of tijuana jail because the state department continue do anything. This happened again about four or five years ago. State department couldnt do anything. If the state department does do something and they actually can notch one success under their belt with this administration, then god bless them. I just dont think they have the ability to do it. Thats why were going to go straight to the mexican attorney general. Meantime, a couple of months ago some Mexican Border guards came across the u. S. Border, drew their weapons in arizona in a standoff with u. S. Border patrol agents, and we allowed them to turn around and we did nothing. We chalked the incident up as unfortunate but unintentional. Thats how we behave when someone makes a mistake on our territory. In the so much our friends down south of the border. Congressman, good to see you. Thank you. Coming up, a father shows up to a School Board Meeting to complain about what he called a pornographic novel assigned to his 14yearold daughter and guess what happened next. What are you charging me with . Youre under arrest for disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct. Wow. Thats right after this break, and you will not believe how this all played out and what was in that book. Plus, Monica Lewinsky just penned a big story about her affair with president clinton saying, quote, it is time to stop tiptoeing around my past and around other peoples future. Just ahead, what is in this account and why is it coming out now . I want to you listen to me. Im going to say this again.
