>> here's our viewer trying to get up. >> a simple technique to stand up from sitting without using your hands. lean forward, push up with your ankles. >> he did it so easily. what's the trick? >> see you tomorrow. all right, everyone. a fox news alert to get things started. back behind bars. this is good news. that massive search for two escaped inmates, both of them convicted of murder and serving life sentences. well, that's over because the fugitives were captured at a florida motel. they're breathing a sigh of relief this morning. good morning to you, everyone. welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm jamie colby. >> i'm eric shawn. the dangerous pair. they didn't scale the prison walls or dig out a tunnel underneath. guess what. they literally walked right out of the front door, due to forged documents that ordered their
7:01 am
release, supposedly, but their run from the law ended after authorities tracked them down, hiding at this hotel in panama city, florida. brian has been following this and is live with the latest. hi, brian. >> a manhunt finally came to a sudden end at 6:40 eastern time in front of that motel, the coconut grove motor in motel in panama city, about 300 miles away from orlando, about 100 miles away from the prison, the franklin correctional institute in which they walked out freely. at the motel last night, a task force of about 20 u.s. marshals and law enforcement surrounded the motel using a p.a. system. they called out for jenkins and walkers to come out. with no resistance, they came out. they left their hotel room and came out to the authorities. they were arrested at that time. we know they were not armed and
7:02 am
we spoke -- u.s. marshal ed spooner spoke to a judge last night on fox and said they were receiving tips all along. >> we didn't really have an idea if they were together or separate. a lot of the comments about they might be together, they might be separate, but until we information confirming they were together, we weren't sure where they were. >> both men were considered dangerous for a good reason. joseph jenkins was charged with first degree murder in 1998 for killing a man in a botched robbery. charles walker was charged with second degree murder six months later in the same area in orlando for killing a man on the corner of the street who he said was bullying him. the victims of the men were in the area had they heard they were able to walk out freely, so press were trying to find these guys. just hours before their capture, walker's and jenken's families
7:03 am
were pleading for them to turn themselves in. we heard great detail by these men picked up by their families, spent a week and time with their families in public places, having used these forged documents. of course, this all started with the forged court documents. the court documents, we're told, were sophisticated. they had the orange county seal. they had signatures of prosecutors, including the signature of the ninth circuit court judge belvin perry who used to be the judge for the casey anthony trial. he told fox and friends he doubts this kind of thing will happen again. >> i doubt very seriously if this will happen again. number one, the department of corrections will be calling to verify that the documents are in fact authentic. we're putting measures in place in orange and oseola county to make sure the documents before
7:04 am
they're transmitted to the department of corrections are in fact verified. >> well, there are going to be plenty of questions in the weeks and months ahead in florida about what they can do better. at 10:00 a.m., we expect a press conference. at 11:00 a.m., both men will make their first court appearance. they'll be held without bond. >> we'll get that news conference when we have it with the latest. thankfully, they're back behind bars. thanks. a lot of double checking there this morning. meantime, congress set to hold hearings this week on the major glitches plaguing the $400 million obama care website that's frustrated so many millions of americans just trying to logon. but the woman who is responsible for making the system work is so far planning not to attend those hearings. we have more an that from our bureau in washington. peter, can she refuse to show up and testify? >> yes, she can, jamie. first, i want to rattle off some numbers that we're getting that
7:05 am
we received overnight. 476,000 consumers have filed health insurance applications through both the federal and state exchanges that launched at the beginning of this month. a little more than half of those applications are through the federal exchange at healthcare.gov which serves 36 states. all along the administration has been aiming to get about 7 million new consumers covered this year alone, but they still don't divulge how many applications resulted in successful enrollments. some republicans now say that's a red flag. >> we just heard news oif s ove that 500,000 approximately people, have gone on the website and left information. that tells us no information as far as how many people enrolls. that's a significant matter. >> a total of about 19 million people have visited health k
7:06 am
care.gov, and administration officials have continued to blame that traffic for their website's poor performance. now the white house chief of staff says nobody is more frustrated with all the website's problems than president obama. >> everyone will regret that the early weeks were a little choppy on the website, but the test is, are people getting coverage? and are they getting the care that they need? and we're confident we're going to be on track to do that. >> congress wants answers. and will hold hearings to figure out who deserves most of the blame for the substandard start of obama care's open enrollment. the secretary of health and human services committee kathleen sebelius will not testify even though she was invited to. however, on the eve of the hearing, she will attend a gala in boston. jamie. >> thank you so much. peter, for your report from washington. eric. jamie, now to iran and the
7:07 am
negotiations over its disputed nuclear program. the first round of talks wrapped up in geneva while benjamin netanyahu this morning is warning the talks may give legitimacy to iran and global affairs. the prime minister said iran does not deserve that. despite the friendlier face iran is showing, they have denied the holocaust, and may be within months of having enough material to build an atomic bomb, but iranians have long denied that's their objection. but there is progress. government officials may actually ban the standard death to america chants. joining us now is ambassador john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and a senior fellow and a fox news contributor. iran will not stop uranium
7:08 am
enrichm. they will not stop plutonium production, they will not stop the underground facilities, they say u.n. inspections may be against iranian law, but please drop the sanctions now? is that the talks in geneva? >> that's about where we are. and it plays directly into the notion they're going to stop demonstrations with people chanting "death to america." that's the difference between mahmoud ahmadinejad's rujeed and hass hassany. hass hassany's regime is much more aware of public relations. instead of boasting about their nuclear weapons program, the new ruha rouhani administration is more kaflt. it's not a difference in substance. it's a difference in pr advis advisers. until you see the ayatollah beating centrifuges into plow
7:09 am
shares, you can count on iran continue ing to seek nuclear weapons. >> what do you think the chances of that could be? >> they're very close. you know, they do have plenty of youranium enriched to repen gra levels and it's just a matter of weeks or months to enrich to weapons grade and fashion them into nuclear weapons. they really are across the line already, they just haven't gone to the last steps. that's why prime minister netanyahu is so worried that a protracted period of negotiation in geneva will give iran political legitimacy. question is whether they can get relief from sanctions. let's remember, iran has been negotiated for ten years, this is nothing new. they have bought ten years through than on again/off again negotiation tactics and the fact we're still negotiating with them really is a comment on our
7:10 am
gullibility than their weapons program. >> the negotiations will continue. they seem to be protracted until november 7th. what do you expect will happen then? >> they'll meet and it will be another productive meeting and they'll agree to meet in december. this is because the obama administration seems so eager for a deal, the regime in tehran can sense that. they can sense weakness on the part of the europeans who want to get back to advantageous trade arrangements. i think they think they can made superficial concessions, that europe and washington will give way on the sanctions and once they turn the corner on sanctions, it will be very hard to ramp them back up again. >> are they just playing out the clock? and as we talked before, rouhani said he created a common environment a number of years ago to out with the europeans. >> he did this ten years ago
7:11 am
when he was iran's chief negotiator. he's got some of the same gullible americans who negotiated with them in the clinton administration. the europeans always ready to cut a deal. i'm afraid the outlook from the perspective of stopping nuclear proliferation has to be pretty pessimistic. >> there's a group of republicans who want tougher sanctions now. should congress pass the tougher sanctions at this moment while the negotiations continue? >> sure, it increases the prospects at some point we can overthrow the ayatollah's regime in iran, but nobody should be any any illusions, especially in congress, that the sanctions actually affect the nuclear weapons program. the obama administration's own director of national intelligence, james clapper, testified to that affect earlier this year. the international atomic agency has been clear repeat lade,
7:12 am
including a few months ago, that iran's nuclear weapons program continues regardless of the sanctions. >> that's a great point. the economy has been crippled, as you know. the oil sales have plummeted, yet the centrifuges are still spinning and they're adding even more. >> the nuclear program is not that big a budget item. that's what it boils down to. the sanctions have had an economic impact on iran, no question ibt it, but mostly, they wounded the middle classes which is the iranian class most opposed to the rule of the ayatollah. so we're hurtingthosis who would be the leaders. >> six months to a year, the iranians have set that deadline. what do you expect will be different six months or a year from now than right now? >> i think the iranian regime will be six months closer to deliverable nuclear weapons. while we're chatting about the nuclear side of the program, the
7:13 am
iranian bolistaallistic program continuing pace. that's the step to make it to a missile to be deliverable worldwide. >> for the israeli view, jamie will talk to dan gillman of israel. ambassador bolton from boston, celebrating the red sox win, i guess. ambassador, thank you so much. >> thank you, eric. >> did look like he was celebrating something. >> did you see that game? that seventh-inning grand slam. >> i missed it. i'll go back and check, though, eric. anyway, there was so much going on overnight and now it's a new week in washington, and we're taking a look at federal workers who head back to work after the government shutdown we all went down. it's over. what is next in store for the president and republicans? what about the debt and the next deadline? it's coming up sooner than you think and so is chris wallace who joins us on that, next. ♪ when i'm halfway into your heart ♪

welcome back, everybody. just when you thought the shutdown had shut down, the country is facing another potengsm government shutdown in just three months. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said he's against using the shutdown as leverage to appeal obama care, but marco rubio was one of a group of senators who was against reopening the government unless that law was taken off the bo books. >> is mcconnell wrong to say government shutdown is now off the table? >> well, i have never wanted there to be a government shutdown. >> i understand. >> but chris, the people who shut down the government were the president and democrats and senate who said unless you fund obama care, we are unwilling to fund the entire government. they took that position and forced this situation that we have just gone through. >> and joining me now, the anchor of fox news sunday, you
7:18 am
know him well, chris wallace. good morning to you. >> good morning to you, jamie. >> how much support does senator rubio have for that position? >> i'm not sure -- well, in terms of votes in the senate, only 18 senators voted for that. the majority voted to reopen the government, to drop the fight over obama care. as you could tell, senator rubio wasn't saying i'm willing to shut down the government over this again. he wanted an effective verbal device to say, well, it's really the president who shut it down. but i don't think he was willing to sit there and say, you know, and we'll do exactly the same thing next january. >> well, that's interesting. is he looking forward with this same strategy or was he just reflecting back in your conversation without giving an indication of what will happen next time? >> i don't think, as you could see, i kept saying, was it worth it? is mcconnell wrong? he wouldn't answer that
7:19 am
directly. my guess is they're not going to shut the government down again. they still oppose obama care and he speaks eloquently about his feelings about obama care and why it's such a menace to the country, but as mitch mcconnell, the senate minority leader said, there's no education in the second kick of a mule, and i don't think they feel like they got very much by shutting down the government and demanding the delay or defunding of obama care. >> what else do you want to preview since we haven't yet seen the program? >> well, we talked at great length about obama care with senator rubio. very upset with the continuing problems with the rollout and very upset with the fact, this is quite extraordinary, that secretary sebelius, the program of the whole program, health and human services, is refusing to testify before a house committee investigating the problems with the rollout this week, but is going to have time to go to boston for a gala the night before. i asked rubio whether or not he thinks it's time for her to
7:20 am
leave. he said, you know, i'm not going to call for that. that's the president's call, but cle clearly, this policy of hers and not to mention the obama care program is unsustainable. then we have a fascinating conversation with dock diick di and roy blunt. guess what the republicans bring up? more taxes, and then the power play, the head of heritage action who was able to sway more votes in the house than the speaker of the this la week. >> all that in an hour? incredible. we won't miss it, chris. >> and that's with george will and brett hume. >> i thought you just had senator rubio. we'll check it out. great to see you. don't miss that interview, all those interviews including the exclusive with senator rubirubi. tune in right here. >> and it's starting. tropical storm raymond is now taking shape in the pacific.

7:25 am
we're closely monitoring tropical storm raymond off the coast of mexico. it could become a hurricane in the next 48 hours. we're tracking that in the fox weather center. where will it go, what damage will it do? should we worry? >> not very much. if you're up in acapulco, puerto vallarta, it will strengthen, but i think it's going to stay offshore and go off to sea, another storm in the pacific not having a big impact. the atlantic basin is where we see storms that impact the u.s. we had such a quiet season this year, no impacts at all of any storms. we'll watch this area over the bay of campeche, maybe developed in the later part of hurricane season. so far, we have made the through the season unscathed. the u.s. today looking pretty spectacular. very beautiful fall day all across the eastern seaboard.
