9:00 am
morning at 11:00 eastern and repeated again at 5:00 eastern in the afternoon with the latest buzz. thanks for watching. pressure is mounting for changes to obamacare and the troubled health care exchange website is the latest issue with the health carrollout. a good sunday morning tow. welcome to a brand-new hour of america's news headquarters. >> glad you are with us. right now health and human services secretary kathleen saw beale yous is considering a letter signed by 10 democratic senators asking her to give americans more time to sign you will for health care. it is having major problems a
9:01 am
month after launch. the white house says they should be fixed by the next month. that's roughly november 30th. lawmakers on fox news sunday speaking out today about that very subject. some of them blasting those tasked with building the website and others saying it is time to focus on fixing it. >> the incompetence in building this website is staggering. >> the most important thing we should worry about is making sure we fix the website and not fixate on the website. >> our national correspondent steve centanni has more from washington. >> they came under continued fire on the sunday talk shows. the website has been the main focus of concern. although republicans are now saying it is the tip of the iceberg and that obamacare has other, more fundamental problems. in the meantime, darrell issaa will be leading the investigation on capitol hill. he said today somebody needs to be held accountable are to the failure of the health
9:02 am
carrollout. >> the president has been poorly served in the implementation of his own signature legislation. if somebody doesn't leave and if there wasn't a real restructuring and not just 60-days somebody come in and try to fix it, that he is missing the point of of management 101. these people are to serve him well and they haven't. >> health and human services secretary has taken much of the heat for that tribled rollout. republicans -- that rubbled rollout. republicans are demanding she step down. and a group of 10 senators sent her a letter asking for an extension of the open enrollment period because of the troubles with the website. gene shaheen from new hampshire is the lead of that effort. >> the rollout has been a disaster. what i am proposing is we extend the period in which people can enroll so we get as many people who want health insurance able to enroll and be able to be covered.
9:03 am
>> she is among those who will testify this wick on capitol hill as congress investigates. the website will be fully functional by the end of november. >> could be serious tongue lashing going on when she appears before congress this week. steve sen -- steve centanni, thanks etch have. the woman in charge of the obamacare health care exchange website is expected to testify in front of a house committee on tuesday. her name is marilyn taviner and she is expected to face tough questions about why the website wasn't ready to go by the october 1st deadline even though she testified just weeks before the launch that it was on track. now republican lawmakers want to know if the white house made any decisions that may have stalled the system. joining me now is jaime weinstein who is the senior editor for "the daily caller." morning, jaime. >> good morning to you. >> let's talk about the kind of questions that taviner
9:04 am
might get asked and if you think she will be forthcoming with her answers. >> i don't know if she will be forthcoming, but the question many lawmakers on the hill want to get to the bottom of is the change that supposedly took place just weeks before the october 1st deadline for the obamacare exchanges that made people register before being able to see the health care packages and the prices. >> basically just to oversimplify it, but basically you coobt -- you can't just go window shopping to see what might or might not work for me. have you have to sign up for an account first. >> you have to sign up and make an account. a lot of the contractors who have been on the end of tough questions by lawmakers have blamed this last-minute change for some of the problems with the obamacare's website. lawmakers on the hill want to know who made the decision. was it someone in the white house?
9:05 am
who made the decision where you had to register before seeing these packages. i think that will be one of the top questions any lawmakers will seek to ask. >> you can bet that will be a key question. do you think that question will get answered? >> well, we'll find out. at the end of the day this is a serious issue. for those who support obamacare, if you don't get the exchanges up and running by the end of november, experts say, that's going to have serious problems for the rollout of the exchanges. the fact of the matter is you need to get these young and healthy people to sign up for obamacare to work. if that's not a possibility going forward, if they are not able to get in and register, then, you know, you will have this death spiral where the premiums will sky rocket up. that's going to be a problem for obamacare generally. >> and of course we already mentioned that the secretary will testify the following day after miss taviner. let's pull up sound bites.
9:06 am
we have joe mansion and john barazzo. let's see what they are talking about on the other side. >> i think she should stay and she should get the job done and she needs to bring people ready a here and she needs to do that. if you want to kill the program and you start making all of these changes that would kill the program. >> you talk about secretary sabilias and as of "saturday night live" the laughing stock of america. she has lost considerable credibility. >> okay, jaime. as i said you have taviner who is going to testify on tuesday and then sabelius will testify on wednesday. do you think some of the answers ms. taviner the day before could take some of the heat off secretary sabelius. >> it is possible. it depends on what she says and what we learn. maybe if she reveals who came up with the decision to make that change in the two weeks before the launch of website, that takes the heat
9:07 am
off sabelius, that's possible or it could put more heat on sabelius saying that came from the top. it could be better or worse for sabelius. >> you can't call it before you see it, but if some of the calls for mrs. sabelius to step down, do you think that will dissipate after the hearing? >> i actually don't think it will dissipate. it depends on what we hear. at the end of the day, this was a colossal failure. people want accountability of the failure for the obamacare website not working. there was a lot of money spent. it starts at the top depending on who made the decision. that person would be kathleen sabelius. >> let's talk about the political undertones. looking for 2014 races and you have the 10 senate dems up for re-election and they are calling for an extension or a delay of the obamacare at least individual mandate.
9:08 am
how effective or how might that call affect the hearing? >> it is actually pretty problematic if you are an insurance company. they price these things based on the information of when the deadlines are going to be and that affects the pool. the insurance company may not want an extension. if you are a supporter of obamacare that will have less incentive for young and healthy people to sign up which you need to sustain the prices where they are. that delay is problematic if you put it into effect of the working exchanges. we will see how that plays out. republicans have been calling for a delay for some time. now with the failure of these exchanges we are now seeing democrats call. we will see if the pressure builds up and the president is forced to do something like that. >> a big week no doubt. good to see you. >> thank you.
9:09 am
and while the glitchy if you can call it that obamacare website takes center stage on the domestic front, the white house is now turning its attention to some foreign policy concerns amid new fallout from the nsa spine scandal. peter doocy joins us live in washington. peter? >> greg, this morning we heard the chairman essentially condemn the nsa for spying on one of our friends. >> if what you do in germany helps the germans end us, that's fine. but i don't believe ever listening to a head of state of an ally would be appropriate. i would hope if it has happened that the president is just as upset as all of us are in congress. >> but, another republican, prominent republican sees things through a completely different prism. >> the president should stop apologizing and stop being offensive. the nsa has saved thousands of
9:10 am
lives, not just in france and germany, but in europe. >> the white house says, quote, we are looking at these programs to ensure that it meets the standard that the president has laid out and we are going to continue to confer with our allies through our regular diplomatic channels to address the concerns that they have raised. but, one democratic senator concluded this morning the obama administration has quite a bit of repair work on their hands. >> i think the revelations from snowden and the secrets that have been revealed are doing significant damage to our bilateral relationships. >> the former vice president dick chain -- dick cheney says it is unfortunate snowden gave up information that is now hurting the united states, but intel gins gathering -- intelligence gathering is nothing new and has helped the united states in history. joy thank you. police make an arrest in the terrifying accident at the
9:11 am
north carolina state fair. ride operator timothy tutterow has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon. a ride called the vortex may have been tampered with compromising critical safety devices. on thursday the ride began to move as people were trying to get off the ride. five people were injured and three are still in the hospital and now police say there could be more arrests. it is not even halloween yet, but winter weather could play some tricks and be a treat for skiers as well in the rock chee -- rocky mountains. a couple feet of snow could be headed this way. janice dean is live in the fox weather center. >> i like the silver lining. the skiers will love it. let's look at it across the board. we are dealing with potential of showers and thunderstorms across texas and louisiana. it is not a big deal. we are not expecting severe
9:12 am
weather. we are looking at scattered showers and snow showers in parts of the great lakes and new york and up toward maine. again not a big deal. this thing will be a big deal as we head through the next couple days. our low pressure center is coming out of the rockies and that is going to give us the potential for feet of snow. we have winter weather advisories for montana and parts of wyoming. 6-12 easily and some areas could get isolated higher amounts and wind gusts in excess of 50 miles per hour. we could see blizzard watches and warnings. look at all of the snow we are going to see. yes, the skiers are going to be excited. man if it comes on halloween that's not fun. we will watch this develop over the next several days. as we head into the early workweek, this could potentially become an area of severe weather. not only snow, but we could see some large hail and damaging winds and even isolated tornadoes for the central u.s. especially heading into wednesday. back to you greg and arthel.
9:13 am
still in the weather department. it has been nearly one year since superstore sandy hammered the northeast. well, the community of red hook, brooklyn was devastated by the storm. when the storm was over folks there quickly received a helping hand thanks to historical oil tankers that was parked right on its shore. brian yennis is live with more. >> built in new york city, the mary a whalen once carried it through its ports. few have ever heard of the 613-ton tanker. that was before she stood up to superstorm sandy. tied to the docks off brooklyn's red hook neighborhood you will find mary a whalen, engineless and home for the last 18 years. >> it is rough. there is no central heat and no flush toilet.
9:14 am
>> she owns the ship and is the head of a nonprofit bedding that -- betting that it is the key to transforming the waterfront economy. and she wasn't going to let superstorm sandy get in the way. >> she was a symbol of preparedness and resiliency. >> as they slammed new york city, she convinced her colleague to join her aboard. >> the boat was on top of the pier and toppled over. >> they wore these life vests the entire time they were on the mary whalen and sometimes crawling on the floor to make sure they didn't fall over board. >> it was scary at times. they said to go back at it and make sure we are secure. >> preparation kept the whalen from becoming the john bgodell that washed ashore on staten island. which was at first a mission,
9:15 am
was a recovery. they started one of the command centers in an art gallery. >> we provided electricity and recharging access to fema and coordinated the electrician work and set up free legal clinics and a few community meetings and made the space available for other things and it was a safe place. >> the port side command center stayed open for a month providing hundreds with recuff reinformation, all -- recovery information all thanks to a forgotten ship and her determined leader. >> she survived. >> the white house has honored port side new york and continue to aid survivors of sandy while working to prepare the community for future storms. >> great story. thank you. well, a second suspect is now under arrest and lock down orders have been lifted at indiana university in bloomington. the latest on the early-morning stabbing that put the entire campus on edge. plus, the justice department is setting the stage for a likely supreme court test of
9:16 am
president obama's approach to national security. the doj says he does intend to use now information from one of its nsa controversial surveillance programs against a terrorism suspect. our legal panel is here to weigh in.
9:17 am
9:18 am
9:19 am
9:20 am
welcome back. two suspects are in custody after an early morning fight at indiana university. police say the men were fighting with the victim in a parking lot on the main campus in bloomington. both suspects have been charged with intimidation, but only one of them also charged with assault. the attack lead to a university wide lock down as police searched for the suspects, but the campus has been given the all clear. the victim's injury does not seem to be life-threatening. growing international outrage over the nsa spying program. allies like germany are furious that their leaders may have been targeted, but they weren't the only ones. the department of justice says now, and this is very new, that it plans to use information gathered by our
9:21 am
nation's spy agency. it shows the warrant less surveillance program is doing good as evidence against a terror suspect who has been busted. this could now open the door for a legal challenge that could land the controversial program directly in front of the supreme court. it might take awhile, but these things take awhile. the defense attorney and former prosecutor who is a defense attorney as well, if you are the defense attorney for this suspected it terrorist, the first motion you are going to make is to suppress evidence because you say, your honor, it was illegally obtained x right? >> there is no doubt. that's the first step. since the government has told you, they never said this before. they got information from the warrant less surveillance program. now you say, well you get -- thousand they have told the defendant this and they get to challenge how they got the information. that would be a motion to suppress. this information was illegally obtained. >> i see, doug, two defense
9:22 am
challenges. number one, the government failed to follow the fights of law inteligently. the second challenge, let's look at the big picture, your honor, the whole thing is unconstitutional. >> the problem is it is a little bit of a catch 22 as one commentator noted. the supreme court handled the case and they turned around and was amazingly ironic. you can't demonstration that this came from fiza leading to the response. how could i ever show that because it is a secret court? the point is -- and the government uses two or three trump card phrases just routinely both in a regular criminal case and respect to fiza. your honor, this could compromise our investigation and informants. with respect to surveillance they say national security and terrorism, they just throw those terms in. >> you know, there was another challenge several years ago.
9:23 am
it was u.s. versus nicholson. it was due process to fourth and fifth and you name it they were all rejected by the court. do you see this going any differently? >> there was a challenge where the court said you don't have standing because you were never under surveillance. now we have a defendant who we know was under surveillance and under the program and certainly he has room to challenge the legality of the warrantless search. >> here is my question, dating all the way back to the late 60s and early 70s the courts -- the federal courts have con sis assistantly upheld upheld -- consistently upheld wiretaps in the case of national security. this goes even further. this one not only could qualify under those cases, but could qualify under the fisa cases.
9:24 am
>> that's right. you are repeating my exact point. the minute you could legitimately talk about good faith, let's assume legitimately in good faith it is involving national security or more serious level, terrorism, courts are reluctant to overturn that. >> if you are the defense attorney and you say, your honor i want to see the evidence, but that evidence for national security reasons is secret, what does the judge do? does he go back to his chambers and look at him himself with nobody else seeing it? >> certainly. you can have a heavily redacted document, there are a number of ways to do this. where does your constitutionality stop? how do i properly prepare to defend my client when they are offering information i can't defend begins. that's a slippery slope we are facing. >> the famous supreme court justice says sunshine is the best disinfectant.
9:25 am
so how could americans have confidence in a system that was set up to be secret. >> this is a balancing test obviously between privacy, liberty, individuality versus national security. ove the fact that you are using term slippery slope. you don't have to be an expert on world history. the minute you disart start secretly wiretapping people it can be a tough slope. >> it will be interesting to see what happens. >> two terrific lawyers, doug burns, richard st. paul, good to see you. thanks for dropping by. >> very good discussion. coming up, there is new information on the iran nuclear shutdown. the rogue nation could be a month away from building an atomic weapon. now our closest ally in the mideast region tells us how it will respond. and he is a rising star in the gop, but he has come under fire for his tactics in the fight against obamacare and the role it may have played in the recent government shutdown. now ted cruise is firing back
9:26 am
and our political panel weighs in. that's coming up next.
9:27 am
9:28 am
9:29 am
9:30 am
new info on some international stories. we are following a series of attacks in iraq today. it leaves 56 people dead. a group of soldiers were killed and a string of car bombings were killed in baghdad. israel is warning of a possible preemptive strike on iran after a new report claims iran is close to producing weapons grade uranium and could build a nuclear bomb in less than a month. and syria had a nerve and agent program and it is part of an ambitious plan to eliminate the weapons by mid2014. rising gop star ted cruz
9:31 am
in iowa over the weekend fueling speculation about a possible presidential run in 2016. took part in fact in a pheasant hunt yesterday and cruz is not backing down over the controversy over his efforts to dismantle obamacare and firing back at critics who question his tactics. take a look at what senator cruz had to say at the republican party on friday night. take a listen. >> but if you read the new york times they will tell you this battle accomplished nothing. let me tell you, i think collectively we accomplished a great deal. one of the things we accomplished in the fight over obamacare is we elevated the national debate over what a disaster, what a train wreck, how much obamacare is hurting millions of americans across this country. >> or is the rollout doing that all on its own. the former dnc finance director brad blakeman and
9:32 am
what about that, brad? maybe obamacare would be even more unpopular had it not been rollout obscured by the government shutdown. >> ted cruz got incredibly lucky. yes, obamacare is now being proven not only to be a disaster tech technologically and also in substance. we took our eye off the ball. you don't bring a butter knife to a gun fight. there was no end game to what senator cruz was advancing. as republicans we have to govern out of reality. it is not what we wish it to be. the only way we get a better shot at improving government with our policies is let's get elected to office. let's improve our chances in the senate and in the house. that's where we have to do our work. >> david, i want to quote cruz. he says the senate didn't stand together. had we stuck together the outcome might have been
9:33 am
different. by what calculation or mathematical equation could that have happened? it is a fund mental fact that democrats have the majority and indeed harry reid wouldn't even bring up cruz's bill for a vote. >> and that's why many senators among the republicans said it was a fool's airpd -- errand to attempt what cruz had done. they said, look, we want to win the white house and we want to win the majority and the senate in 2014. to do that we have to have the american people trust us with government. it is hard to imagine now with the audience and others that cruz did anything to enhance the republican perception -- or the perception of the american public that the gop can be trusted with government. as we saw in the national nbc poll, only 24% have a favor built view of the gop.
9:34 am
that's at its low time or all time low. and in fact it is less popular than owe -- than obamacare. >> even democrats are calling the rollout a failure and an embarassment. the list goes on and on. if this thing isn't fixed, i mean it could collapse and not only that, but beyond that. people, millions of americans are getting sticker shock. premium increases are double and triple and then you have roughly seven to eight million getting policy cancellations. everyone may forget the government shutdown and ted cruz may be a rock star. >> look, it is not enough for republicans to be against something. we have to be for something. there is no question that obamacare has been a disaster. that's agreed upon across the board. what the public has to realize is and what republicans have to realize is we have to advance policies to make the changes that are necessary in obamacare. we still have president obama for three years. greg, assuming that the senate
9:35 am
takes up the house bill in defending obamacare, do you think obama would have signed it? and we wouldn't have the votes. we would have to govern with the happened we were dealt and not the hand we wish we had. >> there are a bunch of democrats who are jumping all over president obama. they sent a letter to the white house. they demanded delays on the enrollment and on the penalties and so forth. even democrats who are once in support of obamacare are jumping ship. it is getting pretty bad for the president, isn't it? >> i would say this, greg, they are not abandoning ship or abandoning obamacare. this is not a problem with obamacare. it is a problem with the technology that was used to administer the access to the website or the internet. with regard to the costs, we need to talk about the millions of people that are getting rebates on their
9:36 am
insurance with regard to the costs. it is an affordable care act that they have to spend 80% on care and not on promotion and other internal benefits to the company. we are seeing 6.1 million elderly americans so 6.3 billion in savings on their prescription drugs. obamacare is working and the point being that we have to fix this technological glitch. >> it is too early to say it is working. it has a long way to go. we will wait and see what happens. out of time. good to see you both. >> thanks. it is time for a look beyond the news. today our cultures -- roll the tape. >> this is the season of halloween. candy corn, fright masks, witches brew and graveyard tales that delight the young. much in keeping with its pagan origins, an objects vaibs of
9:37 am
druid priests more than 2,000 years ago, the festival has taken on an ominous tone in which religion and reality are replaced by a longing for power, a belief in magic and the occult. it is a pornography of terror. the death head, skull and bones is a staple of fashion. decorating not just the t-shirts of bikers, but jewelry and sports wear. we love to be scared and even terrified. but the thought of being shocked has more ofed -- morphed into that of watching those in pain and suffering. shock graduated into relish and/or cold indifference. please don't leave it as bad taste. the front yard of a brooklyn woman features dead or dying babies covered in blood, tortured children tied with chains. others mutilated and decapitated. some actually defend this as
9:38 am
creative. is there a war on children or have movies, television and legal law tiffism an act? it arrives and shouting the brutal death of children. for example, police investigate dead baby found in long island trash facility. actually the town dump. a bronx woman arraigned for dropping a baby in a garbage chute and a pennsylvania teen threw her dead baby in a school trashcan. perhaps the jaw dropping act of recent news security guards detained a 17-year-old girl shoplifting in victoria's secret to find a dead baby in her handbag just hours old. what you may ask was she thinking? a daily beast reporter covering the mother's arraignment wrote of her absence of manifest feeling that seemed to reflect a heart
9:39 am
that is not so much cold as closed off. there is not enough time to recount the attacks on school children and their classmates across the country, or the determined police work establishing the identity of a 4-year-old girl ravaged, murdered and then dumped into a cooler by a manhattan highway 22 years ago. again, what was her family thinking? evil has become the routine stuff of everyday life in america. the halloween nightmares have leached into reality, suffer the children. don't convince yourself that poverty is the reason for this shattered culture that profits from the daily activities of zombies. the living dead are a staple of the diabolic world. we adopted and not just on halloween. my mind jumps to an interview in the new york magazine earlier this month with supreme court justice antonin
9:40 am
scalia. quote, what ever happened to the devil, he asked? this shocked reporter has established her secular credentials. askscalia confronts the questioner saying you travel in circles that are so, so removed from main street america you are appalled that anyone would believe in the devil. most of mankind has believed in the devil for all of history. believing in an invisible power of evil, the devil is an affront of sophisticated modern minds, so supernatural, diabolical horror has found a lucrative place in a godless reality leading younger generations into a world of dark illusions. there can be no notion of the supernatural unless grounded by religion or it ends up in strange places. more than natural powers are arbitrary and seductive, without religious authority chaos is the alternative and
9:41 am
chaos is what we have now. happy halloween. getting in on the ground floor of twitter. it is the biggest tech ipo since facebook and we know how that one went. we are going to tell you what the new york stock exchange is doing to try to avoid the same fate as facebook.
9:42 am

9:44 am
9:45 am
a salad recall across a big chunk of the country. a website is listing all of the products from taylor farms being taken off store shelves including broccoli, salad and slaws. the recall expanding to 25 eastern and southern states over concerns they could be contaminated with listeria. the salads were being sold at deli counters at chains like shop right, acme markets and stop and shop between october 19th and the 24th. i think i bought one of those. no reports of illnesses so far, but listeria can lead to miscarriages in pregnant women and serious health problems for those with weakened immune systems. the new york stock exchange is performing a test run this weekend ahead of twitter's initial public offering. on monday twitter will be the biggest technology ipo since facebook went public in may of last year. the nysc is taking extra care
9:46 am
to avoid the technical problems that marred the nasdaq debut. ed, what can the stock exchange do differently to avoid the problems that facebook had with this -- with its ipo? >> facebook went public on the nasdaq which is an over the counter market. i have been involved with bringing companies public for many, many years. there will not be a problem. the new york stock exchange went through and tested this. it is a large offering, but not the biggest offering ever. the number of shares out standing or the number of shares being sold on this ipo are 70 million. the new york stock exchange will be able to handle it without a problem. >> and they say 70 million stocks and $17 to $20 each. is this ambitious or a spot on price? >> that's a great question. they are offering 70 million shares. goldman sachs is a lead underwriter.
9:47 am
their job is to get the best price possible for twitter. they are not out there trying to get a low price. if you buy it the shares go up. if they do their job perfectly, that stock won't go up a dollar because their goal is to get as much money as they can for twitter. i believe the offering price will go up a lot more. they might offer more shares. that will happen as we get closer to the launch date. if goldman sachs which is one of the best as i said, and they do their job right, the stock will close exactly where it hopped. that means that is one of the ways they will avoid what happened with facebook where the initial offering was $38? >> yeah. >> $38 and it dropped like $13, although greg just checked and it is somewhere around 51 -- $51 or $i have the if 2. you are thinking this will be priced to sell properly so it should be smooth sailing. >> you never know and you can't say for sure. their job is to get the most
9:48 am
money for twitter. would i go out and buy it? it is to be seen when that price comes out. i believe the new york stock exchange won't have a problem with this and twitter will get a really good price and there will be a smooth offering. >> if they get a good price and it goes well it will jack up the prices of the stocks and that will be good for twitter down the line and those who buy it with the initial offering. >> you buy it on the initial offering price and a lot of people will hold on to this. they don't have any revenue -- they don't have any profits. twitter is a high risk stock. once they figure out the revenue model you have a big -- a lot of people are using them. people use them every day leak they do at fox news. there is a lot of interest in this p c. >> thank you. >> absolutely. education in the united states is now under the microscope. we will have the disturbing new findings that could be hampering our children's ability to learn. plus, a rare call helping the st. louis cardinals to take a 2-1 world series lead over the boston red sox. we will show you this play a

disturbing news about education in the u.s. a new study finds a shocking number of public school children are living at poverty levels. doug mckelway is taking a closer look at the problem. >> two studies released this month points to a shift that puts the american dream out of reach for an increasing number of u.s. citizens. the southern education foundation found for the first time in 40 years the majority of public school students in 13 southern and four western states are living at poverty levels. >> we have had very slow economic growth and particularly falling real wages for workers with less experience and less education for more than30 years. >> another study done by student nation finds one this seven young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 are disconnected meaning they are neither in school nor working. >> we have too many kids who graduate from high school who are not well educated. they are not good in reading.
9:54 am
they are not good in their numbers. they are not prepared to learn a lot more that a company would want them to learn in order to work for that company. >> the poverty rate cited are alone troubling, but they are also associated with another change that makes for an even dimer future. the proliferation of single parent families that the then uh sis -- assistant secretary warned of in 1965. >> the kids of single parent families are five times as likely the poorest kids in an american family. >> the key thing about the money gnaw han report that doesn't get discussed a lot is that he said the way to stop this is to make sure people have jobs. >> whether businesses can help by hiring more is doubtful. the movement to cheap manufacturing overseas and regulations at home and the looming uncertainty of obamacare have businesses fearful of expanding their workforce. 234 washington, doug mckelway, fox news. we will have more on our top story.

he trips over the leg. as our senior producer tells me, she had to explain it to me and the base path is the runner's no matter what. he is safe at home. >> shannon bream is up next. how much money has been spent, is being spent and is going to be spent on this website? >> the most important thing we should worry about is making sure we fix the website and not fixate on the website. >> sell your fixer upper as lawmaker argue about how much work the obamacare website really needs, a growing number of democrats say it may actually be time for a delay. we will also talk to republican congressman and the democratic senator and the world renouned neurosurgeon. the obama administration is having to mend fences on foreign policy as it gets an earful from u.s. abroad. a report with details. and opting out. so help me god is now optional
10:01 am
in the air force academy honor oath. is it political correctness gone too far? we have a fair and balanced and if i know these guys probably fiesty debate coming up. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capital starts right now. does the trouble-plagued owe bra -- obamacare website need a few fixes or is it the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the health care law itself? it depends on whom you ask. diseef sen -- steve centanni has more. >> they are pressuring them to fix their website and explain what went wrong in the first place and postpone the deadline for enrolling. two house hearings this week will focus on the troubled rollout of obamacare. congressman darrell issa and he is threatening to subpoena obama administration documents
10:02 am
about the development of the website if they are not turned over by monday. >> we are looking for quick answers so we can on behalf of the american people straighten out as much as going to be straightened out that is above the water on the website and below the water like an iceberg that are the other problems in obamacare. >> health and human services secretary has been a lightning rod for obamacare criticism. she will testify at one hearing while the head of the centers for medicaid and medicare services will appear at another. 10 senate democrats have sent her a letter saying they are discouraged and frustrated and they are asking for the obamacare enrollment period to be extended because of the rocky rollout. gene shaheen is leading that effort. >> the rollout has been a disaster and i am proposing we extend the period in which people can enroll so we can make sure to get as many people who want health
10:03 am
insurance able to enroll and be able to be covered. >> the letter from shaheen and the other democrats suggest a partial delay of the individual mandate. 2* says individuals should not be penalized if they were not able to purchase health care coverage because of technical problems. shan money? >> steve, thank you for the update. lawmakers on capitol hill are looking for answers following the announce meant that one of the private contractors who helped to create the flawed website is now going to oversee the fixes to it. our next guest says calling obamacare a train wreck is not fair to train wrecks. joining us south carolina congressman. congressman, thank you for joining us. those are pretty harsh words. >> they are also true. trains about to wreck don't force you by law to get on board and they don't charge you more to get on a train that is about to wreck. my favorite is trains that are about to wreck when they are tumbling down the mountain side, don't call it a glitch.
10:04 am
this is an uh bomb nation. it is not a glitch. she had a billion dollars and three years to get ready for the rollout. what makes anyone think that another month will fix something that three years and a billion dollars didn't fix? >> well, there was a very interest willing -- there was a very interesting hearing and it was a lot of finger-pointing. a lot of the contractors said things were working and their individual testing was working well. there were those though who admitted they knew there were problems and they notified the administration and the contractor said it wasn't our decision about moving forward. that's completely on the government side of thing. but there were several democrats in the hearing who said the gop, a lot of them hate obamacare and they want it all to fail. they say essentially the gop doesn't have any real dog in the fight as far as finding a fix for this. you want it to completely crumble. >> i don't like it when my
10:05 am
fellow americans are suffering. the president loves to say there are complications for election -- complications and he is right. i do not want my fellow citizens to be punished because kathleen sabelius is so far over her head. we needed bill gates and we got lloyd christmas and ron burgundy. we need somebody who understands the law and understands technology and that is not kathleen sabelius. if you saw her clip last week, shannon, she 1 blaming house republicans for her failure to have a website up and running by october 1st. so she is inherently political and she is not a technological expert. she is not a legal expert. she is a political appointee and this happened on her watch and instead of blaming house republicans it would be wonderful if she accepted a little responsibility for something she was not able to do despite having three years and a billion dollars. >> well, the public is near
10:06 am
all recent polling. it is very slim, but they are not fans of obamacare. the most recent polling what should happen to obamacare. get rid of it came in at 51%. keep it in place 41% and some other undecideds. knowing the public appears to be on your side with this is in a matter of not using the proper process and the proper messaging and the proper tactics because clearly the majority of american people have some concerns. >> they do and they can control no branch of government and you can argue that the november 2012 election was a referendum on obamacare and we did lose. but it doesn't mean it has to be run as poorly as it did. pry fer -- i prefer a different model when it comes to health care for my fellow citizens. i am not a fan of obamacare,
10:07 am
but more than anything else i don't want my fellow citizens being forced by a law and going to a website that doesn't work and sign up for a product that will cost more and provide less coverage. i am always going to pick what is better for them. i hope in 2014 they see that as an opportunity to go to more market-based health care plans and not this uh -- uh bomb nation of december sew layings she calls a glitch. >> do you think it is time for secretary sabelius to resign or for somebody to ask for her resignation? >> yes and yes. i thought she should have been gone three years ago when she didn't understand the religious liberty component of her hhs contraceptive mandate. i thought she should have been gone three years ago. >> and it looks like that question is on its way fast tracking to the supreme court. good to see you. thank you, sir. >> yes, ma'am, you too. >> and fair and balanced will talk with democratic senator about this issue, but what do
10:08 am
you think at home? who do you blame for the health care .gov problems? is it the contractors fault or the government's fault dism tweet me at shannon bream or our show at hnhqdc. joining us to break down the obamacare fight and more conflicts on capitol hill is the senior writer at the weekendly weekendly -- the weekly sitar. clearly the website is not moving forward well. the president seems frustrated and the majority of americans in the poll say they want to get rid of the law. >> i think it is a huge opportunity for republicans right now to do a couple of things. one, to go back and make the president make good a his promises. you have a few things that ron johnson will be offering and that is basically the if you like your plan you can keep it bill, something to that effect. he says this is the promise
10:09 am
made most often as he sold the plan and as he sold the law to the american public. this is what he told us. it is plainly not true. the numbers #r* pretty stallerring -- the numbers are pretty staggering. 300,000 plus in florida et cetera, et cetera. that's one thing the republicans can do. it is a good policy fix, but it is a good political argument. the second thing they can do and this is going to be coming later this year or maybe just after the new year is a broad republican plan that will serve as an alternative. the republicans can say here is what the administration is doing and obviously it is not, woulding. here is how we will fix it in a big way. it will make the case to the american people. >> there are a number of doctors on the hill and a number of them who are republicans who say they have offered piecemeal things. they tried to say this is a better way to do it. it doesn't seem like it has gotten traction. >> it is one of the phoniest. no republicans have offered
10:10 am
plans. they have offered plans. i think what needs to happen this time is for republicans to say, there is this plan and this plan and this plan and to it the extent that they can get around the big plan and use that to point back to obamacare. here is what is happening here. here is why it is not working and here is what we are presenting as an alternative. now you have a choice, take your pick. make it a kind of plan and an argument that will appeal to the basic common sense of the american people who understand and i think their skepticism is shown in poll after poll after poll. understand the way the president 's plan -- the reforms are structures, it is not going to work. >> i want to talk about the 2014 impact. it is something the congressman talked about. there were a growing amount of democrats who are talking about a delay of some kind whether it is the enrollment period and looking at the
10:11 am
mandate. the fact is a lot of good things have rolled out from obamacare, young people being able to stay on their parents' health insurance. the other side of the argument is why delay something that is actually going to be the meat of this actually kicking in, sort of you had dessert and now you have to eat your broccoli. where do republicans go with the democratic suggestion that they are willing to look at some kind of delay? >> they jump on board. it is a pretty clear political move from my perspective for republicans who have been pushing for these delays all along. even for some of the people who are the strongest proponants of the de fund movement over the course of the summer and into the beginning of the fall, they started out as people who wanted to delay either obamacare broadly for a year, the individual mandate for a year, what have you. and now this is coming full circle. as you pointed out and this is the biggest development we have seen in the past month, the number of democrats who understand just how toxic this is, they have to be seen
10:12 am
whether it is in georgia or allison grimes in kentucky, and people who are challenging running for the senate they can't be where the president is. they can't be where they are defending this and they say, you are right, the rollout was bad. the website is bad. the broader law is good. the american people say generally if you take a poll with the country, particularly in red states, the numbers are off the charts. the thing to look for in the next week, do any of these democrats who are currently in congress, senators in particular decide they want to make this a leadership issue? does joe mansion say he will lead a charge to push for the delay of obamacare rather than just making a casual call does he say i am going to be the face of a new moderate democratic opposition to this plan or a group that wants to improve the plan however he wants to sell it. if you have a move like that
10:13 am
it spells problems for broader obamacare. >> i would love to talk college football with you, but that's after the commercial. >> congression alleyeders say no one should be looking for a big budget deal. harry reid says any notion that would include cuts to entitlement programs he is calling it, quote happy talk. paul rine said he is focusing on an effort to make some kind of progress. it is going get underway on wednesday. nsa eavesdropping is having a real i'm pact on u.s. relations abroad. evident by the german delegation on the way to dc for an in person explanation. president obama is forced to play nice or risk further and possibly pearl nent damage -- permanent damage. peter doocy joins us with new details. >> that's right. american surveillance programs are a political lightning rod right now, some prominent republicans are defending the nsa and the president.
10:14 am
>> think about this, in the 1930s, and we had this debate before. we decided we would turn off our ability to even listen to friends who have -- remember, sometimes our friends have relationships with our adversaries. we say we won't do any of those things. that is not appropriate. look what happened in the 30s. the rise of facism and imperialism and we didn't see any of this. it resulted in the death of tens of millions of people. >> they are working to patch up relations with allies through normal diplomatic channels. one democratic senator says they have a long way to go. >> i think the revelations from snowden and the secrets revealed are doing significant damage to our bilateral relationship. >> this debate comes at a time when we are trying to learn everything we can about iran and about negotiations of their nuclear program and not everyone thinks negotiating is
10:15 am
the best strategy. >> i have trouble seeing how we are going to achieve our objective. i doubt very much that the diplomacy will be effective if there is not the prospect that if diplomacy fails we will resort to military force. >> diplomacy is the priority at the state department right now. they want to give negotiations with iran a chance to succeed. >> we understand that congress may consider new sanctions and we think this is the time for a pause as we asked for in the past to see if negotiations can gain traction. >> john mccain said today, we should be worried about pro longed negotiations with iran because he thinks their leaders may just use those negotiations as a stall tactic to give them more time to build a nuclear weapon. shannon? >> peter, thank you very much. at least 56 people are dead after a wave of car
10:16 am
bombings. dozens were killed when they were put in, pad cars and they went off in shiite neighborhoods. a suicide bomber targeted soldiers who were lining up to get their paychecks in the northern sight of mosul killing about power teen people. no claim of re-- killing about 14 people. israel is once again warning iran in the wake of a new report on that nation's nuclear capabilities. last week usa today reported iran could build a nuclear bomb within a month. citing a report by the institute of science and international security. israeli defense minister now tells the newspaper that that report is further justification for why israel would take military action before iran has a nuclear weapon. what will obamacare mean for your personal health care dism dism -- health care? dr. ben carson will join us. and the words "undergod" optional following pressure

10:22 am
threats to religious freedom are raising questions about how committed the obama administration is to combating them. the liberty institute says instances of hostility in the u.s. doubled in one year. citing efforts to tear down veterans memorials containing religious symbols along with news that the air force academy under pressure from outside groups made it optional to say the words "so help me god" in the academy's honor oath. and on the international front the senator september a letter to secretary of state john kerry kerry with numerous attacks in pakistan, egypt and syria saying, quote, the united states must send a strong message it will not accept such violations. uh ready coulding to research on the pew4thof july -- the pow form, more than 5 billion people live in countries where there are significant restrictions on religious freedom and in many cases threats to their lives if they pursue it.
10:23 am
secretary kerry addressed the issue earlier this year. >> while syria's challenges to religious freedom remains i could not be more optimistic about the prospects for freedom around the world. >> a freedom advocates say should be a key component for u.s. foreign policy. >> democracy alone will not give you religious freedom. in fact, the reverse is true. if you don't have religious freedom democracy is not going to work. >> there is a concern about the resignation of the u.s. ambassador for international freedom. the last time president obama took 15 months to name a nominee. four young children and their mother found dead in a new york apartment who police believe may be responsible for the masacre. and up next why he believes the secretary -- why secretary sabelius is the right person for the job.

senator ted cruz is in a key political state yesterday not for votes, at least not yet. fox news tagged along in the three and a half hour excursion. as you would imagine plenty of jokes involving dick cheney who you remember accidentally shot a hunting buddy in 2006 who is now fully recovered. it is back to news for those who say it is time to step down. >> kathleen sabelius has been the point person on the obama administration. more importantly than that we should see democrats and republicans come together to provide meaningful relief to the millions of people who are hurt because of obamacare. >> by the way, senator cruz got two birds along with the hunt.
10:29 am
secretary sabelius had reporters as well. >> good to be with you. >> let's talk about the rollout. it obviously has bt been smooth. the president seems frustrated as do many others who are involved through hhs and other departments. why do you think secretary sabelius doesn't bear the blame here or should they be able to stay on the job and fix it? >> they saw a larming part of the affordable care act that has been rolled out. our adult children are remaining on policies to age 26. millions of americans have gotten rebates from their insurance companies because of over -- overcharging. we have seen our seniors get improved benefits under medicare including closing that donut hole prescription drug gap. all of that has been done smoothly. and on the exchanges the number of insurance p cs and the prices they are rnlg charging are better than what we thought there would be.
10:30 am
the market is there. what we need to fix now is to make it easier for the millions of people who want to get insurance through the exchanges, easier to get that information. there was clearly problems with getting the information to the people. >> any chance, senator, that you grow -- that you join the growing list of your democratic senate colleagues who say it may be time for some type of delay or extension in that individual mandate? >> our first priority is to get the website fixed to make it easier for people to enroll. it is too early to make decisions on what we should do with the enrollment period that goes for several months. let's see how long it takes us to get the information in a useful way to the consumers that will be using the exchanges and let us look at it around the country to see how it is working. it is just too early to make those decisions. >> all right, a couple of polls and on the rollout 60% say it is a joke and 31% say it is going fine.
10:31 am
and when asking what should happen now, 51% say get rid of it. why do you think people have a kneeing sigh outlook on it -- have a significant outlook on it. why aren't they getting those numbers? >> on the provisions in the affordable care act it is popular. you ask families whether they like the fact whether they can keep their children to age 26 on their policies they say yes. getting rid of preexisting conditions on insurance plans? overwhelming majority of americans favor that. closing the prescription drug gap in immediate med do -- gap in medicare, people favor that. and giving affordable options to those who don't have health insurance today, a lot of people are taking advantage of it. hundreds of thousands have got the information. many people are uninsured and they will be happy to know they will have affordable health insurance coverage so
10:32 am
they can use the primary care doctors rather than using emergency rooms and we can bring down the cost of health care. in time this plan will have the support of the american people and i think it is popular today. as it was with medicare and medicaid it takes time to implement the program for people to realize how much it it has helped in the delivery of health care. >> they have notices and they are going to lose their current health care meaning they will lose their current doctor despite what the president promised when he was campaigning for the law to be passed. nothing is free. you talk about benefits that everybody would agree are positive things, but everything comes with a price tag. those who are keeping their health insurance are looking for something new and getting sticker shock. there are a lot of questions about why the price is hidden. they couldn't see what they were paying while they were finding out about enrolling. do you think those are valid concerns?
10:33 am
>> clearly the website is not acceptable. you need the information and we have to improve the website. >> what about the decision to make sure people couldn't purposely browse for pricing information. they were told two weeks before the rollout to turn off the option so people could not seat prices. >> i think people should be able to see the prices. we should have complete transparency. i want consumers to have total transparency. i am for total transparency. i want to point out the lead comment and let's go back to before we passed the affordable care act and how many individuals and p cs saw their premium going up by double double double-digit and the premium going down. we had a crisis before we passed the affordable care act. we stabilized costs and they
10:34 am
are going up as a slower rate and we now have coverage without preexisting conditions available to all-americans. we made significant progress in answering legitimate concerns of consumers with health insurance coverage. >> senator, we know there are all coindz of maybe foreseen and unforeseen circumstances that need to be ironed out. thank you for your time today. >> absolutely. >> appreciate it? he says obamacare is the worst thing that has happened to this country since slavery. dr. ben carson explains after the break.

10:38 am
health and human services secretary kathleen sabelius is in the house seat. they will get the chance to grill her about the problem plagued obamacare website. more on the health care law coming up. now your other headlines making news today. >> a mother and her four children are dead. this after being attacked at their home in new york city. police say officers arrived at the family's house in brooklyn to find that all of the victims had been stabbed. a man identified as a person of interest is in custody. the operator of a ride who stopped at the north carolina state fair and then restarted injuring five people is under arrest. a georgia man facing assault with a deadly weapon and the sheriff says charges were filed after investigators
10:39 am
found the ride had been tam -- been tampered with. the firs family took a stroll to church. the services at saint johns church which is a block away from the white house. the theme of the sermon was humility. pope francis celebrated mass by concentrating on the christian family. the homily was in concentration of world family day. they encourage families to pray together, keep the faith and to find joy together. those are the top stories right now. shannon, back to you. >> thank you so much, peter. millions of americans are visiting health care .gov which is great news. unfortunately the site was only designed to handle six users at a time. so if you are in a rush, consider using our low res
10:40 am
website. with simpler fonts and graphs. >> that was "saturday night live" last night mocking the rocky rollout of on-line enrollment of obamacare. all jokes aside there are growing concerns as thousands are getting notifications that they can no longer keep their insurance plans. now, what he believes is a dak russ -- a dangerous expansion of your health care decisions. doctor, thank you for joining us today. as a physician what are your concerns about how this will impact health care? >> as a physician and as a citizen of the united states and somebody concerned about our future what i have seen here and a lot of people are sleeping right through it is that the government is getting
10:41 am
bigger and bigger and more and more intrusive into our lives. the most important thing that a person has is their health care. if we give government control of that, it is not long before we have control of every aspect of our lives. what we are doing is fundamentally shifting the power structure in america. our system was designed with the people at the pinnacle of power by allowing the government to take control of what we have. we are placing them at the pinnacle of power. federal government was there to allow people to pursue, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and not to control every aspect of their lives. we need to wake the people up and they are starting to wake up . i am certain of that. >> you are doing obviously a lot of speaking around the country and you have said that you do think when you talk with people one on one that they are waking up to the realities of what we are dealing with fiscally and
10:42 am
otherwise in the u.s. do you also have reason for hope? >> well, here is what is good. i always try to look for the good. we started the discussion about health care reform. there is no question that we need that. there are a lot of things in the affordable care act that are reasonable. i talked to an administration official and i said i bet we can start with these things and then add to it. he said, yeah, we can add to that. this is washington though and this is politics. when you have the power you use the power. when we think that way it is very difficult for us to work in harmony. the american people, we the people are not each other's enemies. the enemies are behind the curtain and pulling every string and driving a wedge
10:43 am
every place they can be it race or gender or age or income. it doesn't matter. if you can keep everybody divided and you can throw them off the real issues, they won't even notice that the government is insinuating itself into every part of their life and gradually changing america into something we don't want it to be. >> you are taking heat for speaking out on this. you said you think obamacare is the first thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. in response to that, there is push back and an naacp official in columbus told people they should not go or told them not to go. a guest on al sharpton's radio show called you a black, racial hitman. how dowry spopped -- how do you respond? >> simple. it is a well-known tactic and comes out of rules for radicals. someone gets real close to the truth and you don't want them to know. you attack them and try to
10:44 am
change the subject. you really don't want to talk about what they are talking about. a lot more people understand that than they think. they can continue with their silly attacks. the fact of the matter is i am going to bring it back to the real issue. the real issue is government trying to take control of our lives. this is what we must fight. they will try every tack a particular to keep them from talking about it and this case will not work. >> you have to give me a yes or no because we are out of time. a lot of folks are on our live chott and saying are you going to run for president in 2016, yes or no? >> the answer is yes or no. i am waiting for more information. we will see what happens during the 2014 elections. that will tell us about whether we are really waking up and we are really ready for the kind of change that i think our children and our grandchildren will enjoy and be proud of as a nation. >> come back and let us know when you make a decision.
10:45 am
good to see you. >> thank you. the air force academy says their cadets no longer have to say so help me god. have they gone too far or is this a fair solution?
10:46 am

10:48 am
10:49 am
this is a fox news alert. secretary of state john kerry is welcoming the released of an american freed by columbia spark rebels a short time ago. the rebels turned over 26-year-old kevin scott sutay. he was delivered to bogota. he was taken hostage last june. well, the phrase "so help me dwod" is now optional for air force cadets. they announced the policy shift after pressure from outside groups. let's talk with richard fowler for a fair and balanced debate. gentlemen, welcome to you both. >> thank you for having me. >> the compromise is when they say the oath, i will not lie, steal, cheat nor tolerate anyone among us who does. they can end it there or end it with "so help me god." the guy who was pressing for this says not good enough. he thinks it pushing it says not goodç:jjáuth.
10:50 am
>> it is not just a war on christmas anymore. it is a war on christianity in the public square. these are efforts undertaken honestly byñrw3 lefty's across the country to wipe christianity from the public square. it is not just the war on christmas and no santa claus and no green and red at christmastime. it is before the ten commandments. any reference to god in the public square. not that they would do this with muslims whereñi we're building foot baths literally on college campuses with student funds. and if you didn't, they would tell you that would be bigotry. but this is a form of bigotry with anti-christian bigotry. >> do you think there is a special focus on christianity or do you think all religions -- >> i think when our founding fathers created this country they had the ideal that every country had the right to freedom of religion which is why will will -- pilgrims came here.
10:51 am
you can choose to say it or not say it. it is not añi war against christmas. it says if you atheist or muslim, and serve in our armed forces, you have the right to say so help me god or not. it is the best way for true religiousñr freedom. >> it wasn't the goalçó to make it optional. the goal to do away with it. we do away with references to god. they weren't looking for a compromise. they took half had a loaf this time. they'll go for the rest the next time around. this is not an isolatedñi incident. this is representative of what the left hasñrxdñiçóçó been doing,çó attacking christianity forçó decades now.ñrçó >> you can't just say the left as an overarching definition. >> who is it? >> activists who would never attack islam this day, never attack jews this way. wait a second, chris. as somebody who is an
10:52 am
atheist who says tkwropbt say so helpñr me -- i don't want toñiñiçó say soçóçóñr help, are they attacking christians? >> if you don't believe in god, theçó oath doesn't really -- >> why should you be forcedñi to say it? >> it is not a matter of beingñi forced to say it? >> go to theñi monuments on the mall, go to the jefferson memorial and look at all the references to god. i think there are eight references to god just insideññv the jefferson memorial and one of them around the inner ring of the dome says a jefferson quote. i swear upon theñi altar of god eternity hostility to all forms of tyranny toçó man. >> do you think we should sanitize u.s. society and government buildings and things from any mention of
10:53 am
god or do you think there is room for that? >> i think there is room for both. i think when our founders created this country they created a judeo- christian country. i think they said we are a city on the hill. this is our first amendment in action and this is what makes our country and constitution so great. >> we'll see if it endçó here. it is a compromise that seems to make a lot of pushing this say it is not overñi and want it gone completely. unfortunately we're out of time. good to see you. she is one of the most prominent ladies on-line these days but also one of the most elusive. coming up, a look at the mystery of obamacare's cover girl.ñd
