4:23 pm
legal status and provide a path to citizenship for millions. in the house, landmark legislation of any kind faces a far from certain future. house republicans say they won't pass the senate's bill but will instead craft their own piece of legislation. >> the senate bill is not going to pass in the house, not going to pass for myriad reasons. i'll support immigration reform. i think the current system is broken, but our framers gave us two legislative bodies and i assume they did it for a reason. >> democratic new york senator charles schumer, a member of the gang of eight predicts the house will eventually pass the senate bill. he told john roberts on fox news sunday the longer the house waits to act, the more pressure it will face. >> this has the potential for being one of the greatest civil rights movements we've ever seen. i could see at the end of the summer a million people on the mall in august asking for the bill, and who is going to be on stage, not the usual subjects but the bishops, evangelicals,
4:24 pm
business leaders. >> pressure, a threat? what would you call it. elizabeth, some people on the hill as you saw with senator schumer trying to pressure speaker boehner in the house. how is he reacting? >> that's right. they are rejecting that prediction. boehner says they will draw up their own legislation reflecting the majority in the chamber as well as the american people. a spokesman gave a statement saying the speaker and entire house republican leadership has been perfectly clear on this point, the house will not simply take up and pass the senate bill. our legislation will reflect our principles, particularly on border security. wishful thinking, frankly, is not a strategy for getting a bill to the president's desk. a closed door meeting is scheduled shortly after members come home from the july 4th break and meet with constituents then. keep in mind, house members have
4:25 pm
advocated for tougher border security and want stronger enforcement provisions and a different path for illegal immigrants here in the u.s. harris? >> elizabeth, it started to get chippy, i understand the former democratic speaker offered some advice to the current speaker, john boehner. >> yeah. we heard from now minority house leader nancy pelosi. she says she's optimistic there will be comprehensive immigration reform by the year end and praises the effort of senate lawmakers. she went on to say it is a high priority for voters, even linking it to election success. listen. >> we wouldn't even be where we are now, had it not been that 70% of hispanics voted for president obama, voted democratic in the last election. that caused an epiphany in the senate, that's for sure. >> now senator schumer, a member of the bipartisan senate group that wrote the immigration measure also sounding very
4:26 pm
confident today when he predicted the house will pass the senate bill by the year end. harris, the ball is certainly in the court of house members. >> thank you. obama care is already the law of the land, the nfl as we've been telling you has rejected a white house bid to try to help promote the law to the american public. now the obama administration is teaming up with a whole new set of recruits, thousands of them. we'll tell you where you'll find them. and tomorrow marks the 150th anniversary of a three day battle that is considered by many to be a turning point in our nation's civil war. this week, americans will be commemorating the battle of gettysburg, and fox will be there bringing you all of it in the road to gettysburg. we'll show you.

4:30 pm
i'm harris faulkner, this is the fox report. it is the bottom of the hour. if you are just joining us, the obama administration is trying to push its new health care law in a different way. the latest ambassadors for obama care are librarians, an army of 17,000 libraries across the nation will be part of a new effort to spread the word about the health care law, while giving the public access to computers. the obama administration's public relations play on obama care is nothing new. department of health and human services already spent millions of taxpayer dollars hiring
4:31 pm
professional publicists to make it possible. we told you the national football league requested a white house request to help produce advertising campaigns to essentially sell president obama's signature law to the people. obama care by the way has been law of the land for more than three years now, but we're starting to see more and more parts roll in. joining me to talk about this, byron york, political correspondent and fox news contributor. byron, good to see you tonight. >> hi, harris, good to be here. >> why does the white house need help selling obama care? >> because the polls have been bad for obama care ever since it passed. we have just not had any time when a majority, solid majority of americans thought this was a good law, signed into law in march, 2010, and it has been kind of underwater ever since. a "the wall street journal" poll asked will you be better off under obama care. 19% of people said they would be. 38%, twice that number said they
4:32 pm
would not be better off. the rest of them didn't know. obviously the administration has a big selling job because the health care exchanges under obama care are supposed to be up and running october 1st, that's 93 days from now. they are worried they won't be. >> fox news has done its own polling, looking at 66% of those surveyed who said they're worried about their health care under this new legislation, and that's a whole different circumstance of whether you like it or don't like it, hasn't quite rolled in yet but you're worried about it. your thoughts? >> not a surprise at all. remember, the thing the president said over and over in the campaign for obama care, if you have health care coverage and like it, you can keep it. and what people are worried about is that that will not turn out to be true, that perhaps they'll lose employer sponsored health care coverage or health care coverage will be too expensive for them to purchase,
4:33 pm
maybe they won't qualify for subsidies that they need. they're just worried about all of this change. given the context of all of the public worry about it, if the system comes online and doesn't work well, if it is a mess, if people have trouble getting their computers to find the exchanges, that's going to be a major, major problem for the administration. >> you know, you're bringing up the word computers, it is interesting. if you marry with the library system, 17,000 different branches, they're going to trade access for computers for americans. >> from the administration's point of view, it is a brilliant plan. they struck out, wrong image to use, struck out with the nfl on this, and they're looking for ways to get their case to the american people. a lot of people go to libraries to get on the internet. if they go to the library and get on the internet, what if the home page is healthcare.gov, the
4:34 pm
obama administration's page. they have an agreement with american library association to do sufficient like that, get the pro-obama care message out every way they can. >> i'm curious, in all your years of observing this sort of thing, is this out of the ordinary for a law this big, not talking about a small piece of legislation here, this effects every american in the country. is it out of the ordinary that they would need a sales force? >> yeah, it is, and one thing that's really unusual about this law, remember, they started debating it in the summer of 2009. they finally signed it into law in march, 2010. and here we are, it is almost july, 2013, it is still not in effect. they pushed it forward so it wouldn't become fully in place until january, 2014. so people have not had a chance to see how it works, good or bad. we've had a lot of reports of companies cutting people back from full time to part time, making all sorts of changes to anticipate obama care, but we haven't seen it in action yet.
4:35 pm
a lot of anticipation, a lot of nervousness among people and the administration about the coming system. >> you know, i'm guessing the library system can't say no like the nfl. they simply didn't want to use their players in advertisements, in commercials to try to get people to flock to obama care rules. i wanted to show one more set of numbers, byron. look at this. i wonder now if this will become political folly. if you push against obama care, you could almost need to use the need to sell it as a selling point against it. look how many americans are saying according to fox news polling that they want to see it repealed in some shape or form. 58%. quickly, your thoughts. >> this has been the republican sensation, they voted i don't know how many times to repeal obama care. the administration wants to get it in effect, make it a part of people's lives, they believe it
4:36 pm
would be very, very hard to repeal after it is a part of people's lives. they really want to open the thickets for subsidies to people, so people will be receiving money for this. going to be hard to take it away after that starts. >> right. and we do know on the list, the nba and others, too, see how they respond as well. byron york, good to have you tonight. thank you. >> thank you, harris. we move on now. admitted nsa leaker edward snowden may now be stuck essentially in limbo inside moscow's airport. he has been there more than a week now since fleeing hong kong in apparent bid to seek asylum eventually in ecuador. but ecuador's president says snowden's plan hit a major roadblock, one his fate tied to russian officials, and he is blaming his country's console in london saying they committed a serious error without consulting any ecuadorian officials when they issued letter of safe passage for edward snowden.
4:37 pm
steve centanni with more from washington. steve? >> reporter: the fate of nsa leaker edward snowden is now in the hands of russia, not ecuador, that according to ecuadorian president who also said he believes snowden can't leave the moscow airport without his u.s. passport, which has been revoked. one key u.s. lawmaker says vladimir putin should be dealt with firmly for harboring snowden. >> this is a direct slap in the face to the united states of america. we should be now i hope finally realizing what vladimir putin is. he is an old colonel kgb app ranch i can, and dreams of the restoration of the russian empire. >> reporter: as for the leaker, nancy pelosi says he broke the law and it is fine with her if he is stuck at a moscow airport. >> i think anybody thought he was a hero to begin with, now that he's threatening in any event to share information with russia, china, if in fact he has information, i think that should
4:38 pm
disabuse anybody of the notion that he is a hero. >> reporter: snowden has at least one high profile supporter, the man behind wikileaks, julian assange. >> he acted in a manner to draw attention to a very serious problem in the united states where without the will of congress and will of the american population, we have a state within a state. >> reporter: a german magazine reports that snowden also uncovered u.s. spying of european union offices in the u.s. and brussels. eu officials say they're shocked, and a german prosecutor says he'll investigate. harris? >> steve, thank you. that report of u.s. spying on eu offices is stoking tension now between the united states and our allies overseas. according to the report, the national security agency planted bugs and hacked into computer networks at the eu offices in new york and washington. and even managed to tap into the phone system at the european union headquarters in brussels.
4:39 pm
one top german official now accuses the u.s. of using, quote, cold war tactics against its own allies. the nsa is not commenting. former nsa director michael hayden also wouldn't confirm or deny the latest spying allegations, but he did suggest any europeans that are angry should look in the mirror before criticizing the united states. >> number one, the united states does conduct espionage. number two, our fourth amendment, which protects americans' privacy is not an international treaty, and number three, any european that wants to go out and recommended their garments with regard to international espionage should look first and find out what their own governments are doing. >> the head of the european parliament also reportedly demanded a response from the nsa about the alleged spying program. another update now to a story we brought you on last night's fox report. today, justice anthony kennedy denied an emergency motion from
