thanks for joining me. until next time, i hope are you learning to be more of a healthy you. a fox news alert, growing questions this hour after two convicted murderers escaped into thin air. welcome to america's news headquarters i'm greg jarrett. the manhunt is underway for these fugitives who were both serving life terms. their escape is hardly the stuff of alcatraz. they simply walked out the front door after being mistakenly released from a florida state prison. brian is following this story jie. they are in day five of the manhunt for the two convicted murderers who forged court documents and walk freely out of jail. joseph jenkins walked out of the franklin correctional institution in the florida

panhandle. he was serving a life sentence for a 1998 murder. charles walker walked out of the same jail 10 days later on october 8th. he was serving a life sentence for a 1999 murder. but authorities didn't realize the men were released by mistake until tuesday. both pleading for the men to turn themselves in. >> i know who you are. your family knows knows who you are and we want to you return home safely. we love you. we believe in you. you we want you to surrender yourself. >> i am asking that you, joseph jenkins turn yourself into the nearest appropriate authority so we can end this episode of our lives. >> walker's mother says they spent the whole week after his

released. walker appeared in public places and even going before his church last sunday. meanwhile jenkins family says they traveled six hours to pick him up from jail. the first stop was grandma's house and then jenkins disappeared. a no show at his own birthday party on october 1st. orange county police say the families made no attempts to hide them. there is a $10,000 reward apiece for any information that leads to their capture. >> for the first couple of days until we got involved and realized the released was not correct and they were walking around the community like nothing happened. they weren't hiding, but the idea is they need to go back and serve their terms. that's what we encourage them to do. >> the forged documents were sophisticated and police believe they may have had outside help. the documents included signatures of prosecutors, a judge and even correctly cited case law. the men even showed up to another jail three days after their releases where they were fingerprinted, photographed

and registered as felons. that's a requirement under the law. the florida department of corrections is now requiring prisons to have all orders that call for an inmate's early released verified by sentencing judges, and they are going back and reexamining all prison released orders from every former inmate in the state. greg? >> you would think that was protocol to begin with. it is common sense. yet it didn't happen in florida? >> it didn't. in new york they actually have that in law, but in florida maybe the florida legislature will now look and see how they can make the process better. >> maybe every state should reexamine the same thing. brian, thanks for the update. appreciate it. the step mother of one of the florida girls accused of bullying another girl to death is facing charges of her own. she killed herself by jumping off a tower at a cement

plant. she is under arrest and facing multiple charges of child abuse after is a videotapeñi surfaced of her beating her children in her home. >> what occurred was simply this , there were two boys fighting on the bed. as you can see vivien rushed in and immediately started beating one of them with her fist. one of the boys rolled on to the floor and appeared to be unconscious or at least not doing a lot of moving and she continued to hit the other one. the girls in the picture were laughing and cutting up and screaming and using the f-bomb as was vivien. >> her daughter is one of those charged with stalking

rebecca who then killed herself. >> the nypd making an eighth arrest in the biker beating of an suv driver. police say the 20-year-old brooklyn man was part of the group of bikers that chased down an suv for several miles on a manhattan highway last month. they are accused of smashing the windows and dragging him out of the car and beating him. amateur videotape showing the movements forcing the suv to stop on the highway. the suv driver fear editor his life and so he plowed through the crowd running over and injuring one of the bikers. we are going to have much more on this story later on in our newscast. fox news alert, the embassy in uganda is putting out an alert over a possible terror attack. security has been heightened in the capitol. new videotape of policemen with sniffer dogs who are

searching cars and people as they go in for shopping. all of this is coming after al-qaeda linked militant group killed 60 and injured a hundred and got back to the mall in kenya. >> a virginia governor's race is heating up. personal attacks are flying from both of the candidates. but the democratic candidate got some high-profile help today from former secretary of state hillary clinton. molly is live with that story. >> democrat terry mcauliffe is up and today hillary clinton endorsed her long-time friend. mcauliffe was the chairman of the 2008 presidential campaign. this appearance is getting

tongues waging and whether she may be gearing back up to enter the presidential fray. clinton talked about the recent government shutdown and chided politicians who pursued, quote, scorched earth over common ground. >> we have seen families in virginia and across the country have felt the consequences. workers fer lowed and businesses suffering and children out of head start and poor mothers worry they won't get the help they need to buy formula and food for their babies. that is not the kind of leadership we need in virginia and america today. >> you have the gop candidate and campaigning with the former presidential candidate, in this case it is former arkansas governor mike huckabee who is also a fox news host. the current attorney general

with obamacare and today his campaign put out a statement on the mcauliffey vent with clinton. they said there are a few things they won't hear them talk about today, you won't hear them mention their vocal support for policies like obamacare. nor will you hear them brag about the years of bill clinton's presidency when terry mcauliffe sold seats on air force 1. they are bringing out mcauliffe's time as a fundraiser for bill clinton. they called them, quote, misleading. >> molly, thanks. former vice president dick cheney is revealing in fairly sunning new details in a tell all book just out. the book says he once feared that the electrical device that had been implanted near his heart could be used in an assassination attempt. elizabeth prann has more from washington.

>> vice president dick cheney talking about his fears in his latest book. cheney says he and his cardiologist agreed to turn off the implanted defibrilator's device. perhaps sounding farfetched until the murder was played out during an episode of the show time series "homeland. >> are you okay? >> during an interview with "60 minutes" cheney thought it was a credible theory. if he could adjust it who is to say somebody else will as well? the device detects an irregular heartbeat and control itself with an electrical jolt. i found it credible because i knew from the experience we had had and the necessity for adjusting my own device that it was an accurate report. >> despite his life long

battle with heart disease, cheney said it never served as a distraction. at one point he writes, i never believed it inhibited my capacity to do my job. i dealt with each problem as it came up relying on my doctors to keep track of how i was doing physically. in washington, liz -- elizabeth prann, fox news. a busy railway station is the scene of a crash not once, but twice. we are going to tell you where. and barely anybody is signing up for obamacare. turning the website into a virtual ghost town on the net. why demand is only a trickle. and look out for that second step because it is nearly 900 feet to the bottom. why dozens are taking a plunge off this bridge.

a quick check of the headlines. a firefighter who struck and killed the teenager on the tarmac will not face charges. the plane struck a sea wall and then crashed. the teen victim was lying on the tarmac when the fire truck ran her over. the family could still pursue civil action. 80 people are injured after a commuter train slams into a station in argentina, the same location where 52 people were killed in a crash last year. the 22-term congressman bill young has died. first elected in 1970 he was a long-time member of the house approprations committee. he was 82 years old. new numbers showing obamacare is hardly going gang busters with very few people actually signing up. take a look at what some states are reporting, 712 people in vermont enrolled in

south dakota and only 23. alaska, single digits, only seven. jaime weinstein joins us now. the obama administration boldly predicted a half million would sign up in the first month alone. these websites have all but crashed. they is a bungled launch, excruciatingly embarrassing and it is so bad that insurance brokers are saying don't do it. don't sign up. where is this thing going? >> it is not good for sure. they haven't released official numbers on the federal exchange yet, but people have been able to determine -- people have signed up in various states. in some states like alaska as you mentioned, you can count the number of enrollees on two hands, but you don't cutoff your thumbs and include just

your fingers. it is not just the number of people who sign up. it is who signs up. they need young people and they don't know how many young people signed up. you need those healthy and young people to sign up to subsidize the sick and elderly. if they don't sign up, you can see some serious trouble for obamacare. >> i want to explore that a bit more, but first, it is not just the people who can't get on and gain access and sign up. those who did, their policies may be worthless because we are reading now they are riddled with coverage mistakes. the system is messed up. all of this is under the leadership of the secretary of health. they say i have full confidence in her. how much longer will she last before she takes the fall for this thing? >> there are so many problems as we have seen.

we learned that they just began testing this big project just weeks before. in some estimates just a week before they launched testing this website which they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on. if you are ahead of the project and you would think you have to take some blame for the failure of the launch which is embarrassing to the administration. as you mentioned, it is not just conservatives saying this. you have liberals like the "washington post" blogger comedian john stewart and president obama's former press secretary robert gibbs, all who said this would be a tremendous failure with the launch. you have to think he is feeling the pressure right now. >> oh yeah. >> look, in order for obamacare to work and not collapse they need 2.7 million young, healthy people on the exchange out of a total of seven million signed on by next march. that's the estimation of the administration. if this pool is too skewed to old and sick people on the exchange the

ensurers lose money and the entire system evolves into what they call the so-called death spiral. here is the deal, a one-year delay could avoid the death spiral. rejected last week by congress, but how would you handicap a one-year delay as this thing continues. >> i think it is hard to imagine there will be a year delay to mandate. i think it would make it worse for the president. what incentive do people have? the incentive is very low because it may be beneficial and they see it as beneficial to sign up and mott take the penalty. without the mandate and without the penalty, i don't see why young people would sign up if they haven't signed up for health insurance.ñi >> you can pay a penalty instead of a premium, hello, duh, that's an easy choice to be making if you are a young

person. if the obama administration gets there at the end of the year they get a case of the for reals and they have commanded millions of folks to buy a system that doesn't work, what hen? this was the president's signature achievement. he is fully invested in what happens. what does that do to his presidency? obviously this is his number one achievement. he wants to see this last. if they don't get enough people to sign up who knows what happens to obamacare. there has to be major revisions that leads to a big takeover of congress and its repeal. they are talking about the fun strategy. this is the real show . it is to see what happens here. now we have the opportunity to see what happens. we will see over the next several months whether we are getting the young demographic. if not, the game is off.

>> who knows what will happen to obamacare. it will be really hard for people to go on and do this. such a bad start. jaime weinstein, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. a big blast of winter is now hammering much of the co country. the fox extreme weather center on where the major cold front is headed next. stick around. ♪ verizon innovators are combining a network of underwater sensors and artificial reefs that actually make our water cleaner. giving sea life-- new life. because the world's biggest challenges deserve even bigger solutions. powerful answers. verizon. customer erin swenson ordebut they didn't fit.line customer's not happy, i'm not happy. sales go down, i'm not happy.
