3:00 am
time for the pledge of allegiance to show respect for those who fight for our freedom and pride in the usa. >> it doesn't take that long. show a little pride. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it's thursday, november 14. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. it's official. the obamacare enrollment numbers are out and they are not good. now some democrats are running away from it. but didn't they vote for it in the first place? >> yes, they did. then, did the president lie to you when he sold americans obamacare? a new poll with numbers out show that the country is talking about that this morning. >> and i bet you didn't -- you don't see this as your high school's half time show. the pint-sized drum major taking the field and the internet by storm.
3:01 am
"fox & friends" starts right now. >> hi, this is joan rivers and you are watching "fox & friends." >> thank you very much, joan rivers. welcome to our thursday telecast. ladies and gentlemen, have we mentioned lately that brian kilmeade is once again a "new york times" best-selling author? >> number 8 on the "new york times" best selling author. >> thank you very much. everyone bought it. you guys talked about it and read it. we appreciate it. charles krauthammer is number one, bill o'reilly is number two. in a week you'll see secret six as number 8. >> you're in good company. >> i'll be in your neck of the woods tonight. first things first, as much as that is big news, i have a sense that on capitol hill yesterday the buzz was about something entirely different. >> your numbers are good. the administration's numbers are terrible. >> they are dismal.
3:02 am
numbers are at 2% of the projected 7 million they need. >> they've got plenty of time to make that up? >> if only the website could register people i think they could get traction. >> 106,185 selected health plans on the new exchanges. >> if you sign up for a plan and don't hit "buy" are you buying a plan? the question is -- the answer is no, steve. that's why there's 26,000 that have gone through the exchanges and bought the plan. >> that's the scary number. only 26,000 through the federal exchanges. about 80,000 through the state exchanges. the state of alaska has signed up 53 people. the state of north dakota has signed up 42 people. but here's a bigger number. so the federal government signed up 26,000. take a look at this number. 5,-- or rather 5,026,143
3:03 am
policies have been canceled. and remember, it's not just, as karl rove said the other day, those policies, it's not just one person. those are families involved too. that number is much, much bigger. this is terrible news for america. >> five states have under 100 people who have registered. one of those states is alaska. coming up later, democratic senator mike begich, he'll be joining us live -- mark begich. and he'll be talking about why he was so for this plan and what his feelings are now that we're actually experiencing this plan. >> you mentioned earlier about these people may not have been able to pay for the program they signed up for in that number. todd parks conceded under questioning yesterday by the committee in the house if you went to amazon.com, he was asked, put a product in a shopping cart would that count as a sale and he conceded the answer would be no. >> apparently of that number -- and it's a lousy
3:04 am
number -- 33% used paper applications. did not even use the website. the idea was to use the website. and in fact, if people walked in they were directed toward the website. you had to have an e-mail. it's awful. nonetheless, we've got all these democrats who are suddenly eyeballing a couple of -- a republican plan and a plan by mary landrieu. they are embracing republicans who are saying, for instance, rand paul, you're about to hear from him, he says what are the democrats talking about? they knew what was in there when they voted for it. >> a lot of people are running away from the president now. many of the fellow democrats in the senate are running away. but you know the one thing that hasn't been published so far and publicized? every democrat in the senate voted for this rule, the rule that allows cancellations came up for review. we had a vote on this three months after obamacare in the senate we voted. every democrat, including the ones now complaining, voted to uphold the rule that allows your insurance
3:05 am
to be canceled, that causes you to lose your doctor. this is all voted for by every democrat. this is their baby. they're going to have trouble running away from this. >> can't run away prosecute this. >> they're trying. >> senator harry reid has an emergency meeting with the white house. the democrats in the house are saying -- or the white house. mr. president, you have till friday to come up with a fix-it plan, which means more money by the way, subsidies by the way. or by friday when the house vote comes up, we might vote for it. when they were asked by the tech gurus -- when the tech gurus were asked how much does this whole thing cost not counting the fixes, it cost $600 million. that's more than apple had to spend in pioneering and bringing the ipad to market. >> on something that's not working. those are ill-placed dollars. >> the ipad does work. look at what she's holding. >> that's right.
3:06 am
this is working just fine. i think what rand paul is saying, he's saying you can run but you can't hide. here's why the american people are feeling it. it's hurting on their kitchen table. a fox news poll asked actually, you're voting for congress, if the election were today, what would be the result? look at those numbers. look at the swing. >> in one month? >> in one month, a 6% swing back to republicans. >> the first take-away is republicans are leading the democrats. but a month ago the republicans have gone up six points in one month. the democrats have gone down five points. let me put that up for one more moment. we cannot? all right. there is one other thing i wanted to point to, and that is the fact that in october of 2010, just before the landslide for republicans, democrats had a 39% rating, and right now it is 40. you know, tp-s past is pro
3:07 am
-- if the past is prologue it looks like it could be landslide territory for republicans. >> the way i understand, an 11 point swing in one month. if the vote was today and they asked people would you vote republican or democrat, now it's a 3-point advantage for republicans. they were down 11 points one month ago in the middle of the shutdown. so obamacare is here. it is upon us. no one can figure it out. what i think is so poor is nobody is calling on nancy pelosi to come forward and defend the plan and define the plan. she is the one who jammed it down our throats. here is representative tray goudy on this obamacare mess. >> the person who loves to say elections have consequences and he's right but one of the consequences should not be fellow citizens should be punished, even those who vote for him. if i can bring relief to people ahead of the factarned tl
3:08 am
do it. you can't tell insurance companies what products to offer. you can't go back and reoffer canceled policies. so this is what happens when you base a campaign on a fundamental lie. >> and he's saying something that obviously everyone is feeling. another thing that has been put out there time and time again is that the -- to minimize the amount of people that have been affected by this the president has been quoted as saying, according to so many sources, that not so many people have been affected. >> only 5%. >> only 5%, not a big deal. but when you're in the millions of people who have lost coverage and you are having that really just minimized on a daily basis by the administration as your health care is being taken away, certainly you're not going to stand for a change of position at this point. >> only 30 million people had no insurance, and that's why we wanted to get insurance and restructure our whole health care system. so we have 15 million that are affected by the
3:09 am
individual insurance market right now and 5 million who have already been kicked off. those are significant numbers. either it's 30 million is insignificant. you can't have 30 million be significant and have 15 million be insignificant. >> let's put up that poll one more time. we had an incorrect date. look at the democrat candidate. now it is at 40%. just before the republican landslide in october it was 39. meanwhile one house democrat said that the white house does not have our back and suddenly a lot of democrats are feeling like human shields. they're trying to protect the president, but then again they like their cushy job in washington, d.c. and a lot of them are going to do anything it takes to keep it. >> we have so much more to talk about. heather nauert has been tpolgs other stories breaking. good morning. >> a lot of news happening overnight and a tragic
3:10 am
story. camp pendelton in california, four marines are dead after an incident at camp pendelton. the marines were clearing a firing range of unexploded ordinance when this happened. the base says that the cause of the accident is under investigation. the names of those killed will be released after their families are notified. they were a part of the marine ordinance disposal unit. take a listen to this. >> it is pretty sad. it hurts. i mean, shoot, it just -- it hurts. it hurts a lot. >> camp pendelton releasing a statement saying we offer heartfelt condolences. our first priority is to provide the families with the support they need during this difficult time. these deaths come about eight months after a mortar explosion killed seven marines during a live fire training exercise in nevada. we expect to learn more about this today. a 16-year-old student is expected in court later
3:11 am
today accused of a school shooting. police say that the 16-year-old, a.j. willet jr. shot three students outside a pittsburgh high school, telling the police the shooting was in retaliation for being beaten during a drug-related robbery inside that school last month. three students who were shot are expected to be okay. willis is being charged as an adult. new details about the benghazi terror attack. sources say at least two americans were severely injured in the fighting that took place on september 11, 2012. their life-they thening injuries were sustained after mortars struck the c.i.a. annex rooftop that they were defending. little is known about those who survived the attacks, but a congressional panel expects to find out exactly what happened during closed-door sessions with eyewitnesses today and tomorrow. four americans, including the ambassador chris stevens were killed in that attack. he became an overnight star just because he wanted
3:12 am
to help out and now the lawn mower man chris cox is back in the nation's capital. he's being recognized for maintaining the national mall while the park service was furloughed. fox says he never wanted a dime for his service but he did want one thing, a brand-new chain saw and what is better than that? a huge saw. look at this thing. it was donated by a virginia-based power tool company. cox says if there is another shutdown next year, he will be ready. listen. >> instead of a lawn mower, how about a is no blower. >> $2,000 raised on the website for chris, crowdedforward.com. he said he would like to use that money to help others who need help cleaning up across the country. how about that? my husband would be so jealous. >> the ironic thing is while he was recognized yesterday in washington, he was told by the park
3:13 am
service to knock it off when he was doing it. >> exactly. >> you can't do that. >> congratulations, chain saw man. >> was that a sthl? >> it looked like it. >> quality. coming up on this thursday, since the president took office, 200 top military leaders have been -- have left. so what's happening to our military under this administration? we're going to talk about that. >> it takes ten seconds but it's still too long. a school district says students cannot say pledge of allegiance because there isn't enough time. tell us what you think.
3:14 am
heart healthy, huh?! ugh! actually progresso's soup has pretty bold flavor. i love bold flavors! i'd love it if you'd open the chute! [ male announcer ] progresso. surprisingly bold flavor for a heart healthy soup.
3:15 am
surprisingly bold flavor youand you're talking toere rheuyour rheumatologistike me, about trying or adding a biologic. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. for many adults, humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problem serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira , your doctor should test you for tb.
3:16 am
ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, have symptoms such as fever fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your doctor if humira can work for you. this is humira at work.
3:17 am
>> welcome back. 200 top military leaders have left their ranks during president obama's time in office so far, averaging one every 8.8 days. so is the military being decimated under the obama administration? >> or is this the way it goes with everyday a attrition. let's ask j.d. gordon. what's going on? >> i think president obama is trying to make the military smaller, weaker and poorer. >> why would any president want to do that? >> i think he has the ideology where he thinks if our military is weak people won't attack us. i think that is wrong. i think if we're weak people will attack us. i think he's basically trying to put the hammer down on the military. we see $1 trillion in defense cuts coming down the pike in the next decade. that's going to hollow out the military like during the 1970's. we're going to have a hard time defending this country under this leadership.
3:18 am
>> high-ranking officials in the military are being scrutinized why? >> i think a lot of it is political. i think he wants to send a message to the military that he's the boss. we're seeing massive cuts like a trillion dollars in the defense budget. if there is a hint that anything may be wrong or any sign of controversy, he'll say get rid of him. >> do you know roughly under president bush, under more strain and stress, two wars in ten years, that he was experiencing? >> certainly a lot less than this. in world war ii and civil war a lot of senior officers were relieved but that was because of -- >> ineffectiveness. >> on the battle field. we don't have the same metrics to measure on the battle field today. a lot of guys, what they do, a lot of it is
3:19 am
political. a lot of it is *edz to get get -- a lot of it is easy to get in trouble today. the troops used to have a healthy respect for the chain of command. they don't anymore. what people used to say 20 years ago they can't say anymore. it will get them fired. >> that is true in a lot of areas in life. you were saying about personal behavior that patton and others were held up to today they would be relieved. >> macarthur, patton, they all had mistresses but that isn't the case today. standards have changed. >> the thing i'm really upset about president obama is he spends all this time going after top military officers. 200 have been fired during his term, one every 8.8 days. yet he spends all his time trying to give constitutional rights to al qaeda terrorists in guantanamo. why doesn't he give our military leaders a break and stop trying to defend those in guantanamo.

we've got an update for a story we've been telling
3:24 am
you about. two gonzaga university students finally got their guns back after they were confiscated by campus security. the weapons were taken following an incident where a six-taoeupbl -- six time felon tried a home invasion at their apartment. the school put them on probation for having arms in off campus schoolhousing but the students are fighting back. joining us from spokane, washington we've got the students josh and daniel. along with their attorney. good morning, thanks for joining us at 3:24 in spokane, washington. >> good morning. >> people are unfamiliar with the story. this six-time convicted felon tried to get into your house. he demanded money and you called for your roommate and what happened? >> he was at the door, and he started threatening us saying you don't want to do this. i just got out of jail. showing some type of ankle bracelet on his ankle obviously. that's when i called for
3:25 am
dan in fear for my safety because he was coming in the door. that's when i called for dan. >> i would too. dan, you were upstairs. you have a pistol. you got permits for your weapons. what happened when you came downstairs? >> i come down the stairs hearing eric scream, sounding like he's in mortal danger. i see the felon with his hand behind his back, immediately pointed a weapon at him at which time he fleece. >> he out of there. at some time the police are called, they show up. they realize you guys have weapons. 2:00 in the morning when you guys are out, they come back and seize the weapons. then you got in trouble. dean, i want you to weigh in on this. they got in trouble initially because they had weapons in off-campus housing that technically was not even owned by the campus. >> that is correct. initially the university
3:26 am
informed us that they owned the property, but we pulled the records and it indicates that they entered into a 99-year lease with a local company here. really they don't own the schooly. initially it looked like tried to expel you. now you're simply on probation. what do you want to happen? >> well, obviously we'd like to not be on probation just due to the fact that this is going to have to follow us around. it is now part of our educational record and people are going to be able to -- you know, we're going to have to declare that this happened. so we'd like to be off of probation so we don't have to deal with this the rest of our lives. >> sure. daniel, i'm sure this is hard to know. i know you legally have guns, although they told you to put them in another location off campus, off property. how would you have felt with what was going on downstairs if you did not have that pistol and that shotgun upstairs? >> well, i would have felt inadequate to respond to
3:27 am
the danger that was presenting itself. i'm no kind of big guy. i don't know how i would have responded. i don't know how to fight a six-time felon hand-to-hand. not a good situation to be in. >> it sounds like the university wanted to make an example of your clients, dean. >> that is correct. within 18 hours of the incident they already charged my clients and set a hearing date within two weeks. at the speed, they wanted, i felt, to make an example. >> dean, what's the moral to the story? >> i think the moral is universities have to decide how much safety they want to provide their students particularly in off campus housing. students have the right to defend themselves. just because they enroll in a university doesn't mean they can't use force they're entitled to. >> i understand the university president says this is a good time to reexamine what the gun policy is out there.

>> there it is, sioux falls, south dakota. they have in the past said at the elementary school they're going to continue to say it. the middle school but because there is simply no time because it does take ten seconds, they're only going to do, do it at various assemblies, school wide assemblies. you did see some veterans there. they said that is a crazy policy, change it. the school board said we're going to keep it. just at assemblies during high school. although when we went to school, we said it. when my kids went to high school, they said it. they still say it at their high school. >> yesterday when they showed up at the board, they had some veterans show up of the some of them were banged up, on canes, they wanted to have their presence shown. they said it is a big deal to say the pledge of allegiance first. we want you to weigh in on our facebook page. do you think in today's age where you have to learn so much so soon and still give the kids a ton of homework,

should the pledge of allegiance still be required in every school? after all, time is valuable. >> they have morning announcements. they have afternoon announcements. at my kids' school they would do the announcements and do the pledge. it was that simple. it takes ten seconds. >> my guess is in any class you could get it in for ten seconds, even during biology. >> from biology to the news of the day and heather nauert. >> maybe some teachers will override this and do it on their own on the sly. >> and those kids will be behind. they probably won't pass the sat's and regents exams. >> somebody would complain and there would be prubl. >> all right. let's hope that policy changes. terrifying moments on a southwest airlines flight from tampa to raleigh, north carolina. passengers fearing for their lives after the pilot went on the loud speaker and said the plane was going down. >> as we're going -- said we're going down and everybody is looking around like is this a joke?

am. glad you're up. a free speech battle brewing in new jersey. 56-year-old retired cop, david
3:54 am
wells, arrested after he refused to stop spreading christian literature at a privately-owned new jersey mall. the mall says it's private property. some say free speech provisions reached into the public gathering places, like malls, should make it public. judge napolitano is here. judge, who is right? >> the supreme court of new jersey has made it very clear that a shopping mall is the moral equivalent of the town square and people go to shopping malls not only to shop, but also to interact with other people in an environmentally controlled place. therefore, you can't stop free speech in a shopping mall. the new jersey cases have to do with political speech. clearly if political speech is permitted, if you can distribute political literature at a shopping mall, you can distribute religious literature. >> this guy was told either stop or you'll be arrested and they said we're going to evaluate whether you can do it or not. could they have arrested him? >> they eventually did arrest
3:55 am
him and he's actually going to be prosecuted. in my opinion, it's an insane prosecution and they're going to lose because the law is so clear. he's an ex-cop. that has nothing to do with it. he understands the law. the law in new jersey is very clear. if his distribution of this literature basically comes up to you and says, mr. kilmeade, are you going to go to heaven? some people say don't bother me. and others will say, what are you talking about? that kind of conversation is permitted unless it materially interferes with people's ability to shop. that's not the allegation here. the allegation here is they didn't want religious literature distributed at their mall. if you don't want that, don't own a mall in new jersey. >> the mall is the key, isn't it? so if i had a restaurant or bike shop and i own it, it's brian's bike shop or restaurant and people are eating and trying to get some rest and peace, i walk up handing flyers, you could toss me out. >> yes. but not a shopping mall because a shopping mall in new jersey
3:56 am
has been defined by the supreme court as the functional equivalent as the town square. he's not distributing the literature inside the shops in the mall. he's doing it in the common area where people mill about and free to say whatever they want. they can say vote for obama. they can say buy kilmeade's book or are you going to go to heaven. >> there was nobody arrested as far as telling people to buy the book. >> you should do a book signing at this mall! you're very popular on the jersey shore. >> the guy gets tossed out. >> and i can defend you and the cop n that would be great, but i still have to spend the night in jail because you never pick up the phone. thank you very much. if you're in the mall, it's a public square, you can get the literature and walk into macy's. 4 minutes before the top of the hour. straight ahead, what would do you if this happened to you? you buy a used piece of furniture and find $100,000 inside it. would you return it? would you keep it? wait until you hear what one man

consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. go long. good morning. today is thursday, november 14. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. with the white house admitting obamacare enrollment has been dismal, today democrats are running scared. brand-new polls this morning on what the american people think. meanwhile, moms, dads, do you want one of those bumper stickers that says, my child is on the honor roll at such and such school? now all your kid needs are c's and d's to make the honor roll. what? stick around. ladies, if you can't seem to concentrate at work, soon you might be able to blame your boyfriend or your husband or both. it's science. "fox & friends" starts now.
4:01 am
>> this is james and you're watching "fox & friends," the most, well, prodigious show in the cable news. >> was that james ferrell? >> yes. a couple days ago we told you a story out of the "wall street journal" that was estimating between 40 and 50,000 americans would have signed up during the first month on the federal exchanges. 40 to 50,000. turns out that number was five weeks rather than the first four weeks. so you lop it off, we got to look at the numbers yesterday and you know what? they must be drinking maalox by the barrel at the white house because this is all bad news. >> making everybody sick here and there, i'm sure. you have 26,794 through the federal exchanges. it's the low number of individuals that have actually got on to healthcare.gov and registered there. 79,391 through the state
4:02 am
exchanges. then they have this number here which is interesting, 106,185 selected health plans. you got to pay attention to that word, selected. >> it's unbelievable as they tried yesterday to get the tech wizards in front of the oversight committee to decide whose idea was this, where was the oversight? when did you know how bad this web site was? henry chiou was asked, by the way, how many times did you meet with kathleen sebelius? not often. >> periodically. when was the last time? >> during the shut down. >> so you didn't meet with her during the debauchle of the rollout? here there is no brain trust ge? we also found out that this cost $600 million, which is an incredible number, and yet it doesn't work. >> it doesn't. and the fact that one month in, so few people have signed up, it's only 2% of the 7 million target that they were aiming
4:03 am
for. what's interesting -- elisabeth, you were absolutely right. there is some kind of legalese used there, not surprisingly, where it was only people who selected a plan. in other words, went through the process and then you selected a plan. you didn't necessarily have to have paid for it yet, which means they might not actually wind up on the rolls. but meanwhile, ezekiel manuel, the brother of rahm emanuel, is one of the architects of this affordable care act. he was on with megyn kelly last night and he made it very clear, she tried to make it clear using his own words and testimony in the past, they knew ahead of time that people would be dropped. what does he do? naturally he has to blame somebody else, so he blames the insurance company. here it is. >> are you admitting that the insurance market would collapse and that was a key facet of obamacare work? >> it's not a matter of foreseen of the the insurance companies always cancel policies. it did it before.
4:04 am
>> you know as well as i do that the mass cancellations we have seen tonight are hurting a lot of americans. they're very upset and their relationship with their doctor has been severed as a result of coverage -- >> miss kelly, you don't seem to remember -- >> you keep down playing it. and now you say it's irrelevant! >> maybe if you would stop yelling at me. you don't see that before obamacare, those kind of cancellations happened all the time. you never covered them. they were very common. >> so to you, the two things are totally disconnected? >> you keep interrupting. >> it's a back and forth, i'm not going to give you a platform. are you saying two things are totally unrelated? obamacare and the 5 million -- pick your number -- of cannulations in the individual market totally unrelated? >> no. i'm saying the insurance industry was not forced to cancel anyone. they canceled people before and they see the individual market as going away and they're getting out of it.
4:05 am
>> so he feels he's a spokesperson for the insurance companies rather than define why obamacare is blowing up and he also points out, too, and he's going to have trouble with this argument soon, when the corporate mandate comes into play next year, when that comes off because now corporations are going to be responding to the new obamacare parameters and saying, this no longer makes sense for me. he doesn't understand this 15 million people have been affected and if you came up to me and i'm a -- i have my private insurance and you tell me my deductible goes up or premiums go up, i can react to that. i don't blame the government. i don't blame the guy next to me. i will react to the market and see if i can get a better plan, or keep with that plan and pay the additional premiums. but nobody else has a choice. we're getting cancellations in the mail finding out on january 1, we're done, that's. >> the heat that megyn kelly rightfully so, put in front of emmanuel there and asked him is firmly based in the fact that american people know and feel what's going on. they were asked recently, did
4:06 am
president obama, did the administration know ahead of time that millions would have their insurance canceled? look at this. 59% of those in this survey said yes. they feel though yes. absolutely, the obama administration knew ahead of time that the policies would be canceled. that's why she grilled emmanuel. >> sure. plus, the big question -- this is very damning. it all comes down to credibility and approval ratings. did the president lie? he knowingly lied. half the country says. 40% says he does not know. what's interesting is remember that health care summit they had back in 2010? there is a 15-minute clip floating around where eric cantor talks to the president of the united states and where eric cantor makes it very clear. he talks about the issue where the cbo quotes millions of people are going to lose their insurance. and the president acknowledges he knows that. so for them to say, you know, we really didn't know this was going to happen, they knew
4:07 am
through years ago. >> let me talk about politically real quick. today we understand democratic senators will have an emergency meeting in the white house. they want to hear about an immediate fix. house democrats are tempted to go vote with republicans about you can keep your plan if you want to keep your plan act that would reinstate all those policies to people. if they don't hear something positive from the president, those democrats in the house could be jumping ship. this is a political disaster for the white house. >> absolutely, especially with 21 of them up for reelection in 2014. >> you know who is loving it? the republicans, because the republicans have been telling them for years, this was going to happen. so now it's going to -- they're just going to stand back. you guys go ahead, hack it out. >> the risk is if people are seeing they're rejoicing. >> they warned them for years. now they got what they had coming to them. they all voted for it n the numbers are speaking true for everybody, clearly across the states. we'll keep you updated on that. in the meantime, let's go over to heather nauert for headlines.
4:08 am
>> good morning. we've got news out of california. a tragic accident. camp pendleton, leaving four marines dead. the marines were performing a routine sweep to clear a range of unexploded ordinance. the base says the 'cause is still under investigation. >> it's pretty sad. one less we have in the fleet. it hurts. shoot. it hurts a lot. >> camp pendleton releasing a statement saying, quote, we offer our he will heartfelt prayers and condolences to the families of the marines lost in this accident. our first priority is to provide the families with support they need during this difficult time. the names of the marines who died will be released after their families are notified on exactly what happened. a 16-year-old accused of shooting fellow students outside a school in pittsburgh is due in court later today. antonio willis, junior, is
4:09 am
charged with attempted murder for shooting three other teen-agers. he told police the shooting was in retaliation for being beaten during a drug-related robbery that apparently took place inside that school last month. the three students who were shot are expected to be okay. he's being charged as an adult. and 30 passengers taken for a wild ride. their train leaves the station without its operator. investigators in san francisco say the guide stepped off the train to fix a door and may have forgotten to set the brake. the riders somehow realized what was going on. they rushed to the controls, one person apparently knew which button triggered an emergency brake and that person saved the day. that operator is now on paid leave. you ever have a tough time getting to work? as we understand it, you might be in love. there is a new study shows that people who are in love have trouble focusing and performing tasks that require attention. participants were asked to do things like keep their focus and

4:15 am
a great book. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> okay. it is too early to have a front runner, isn't it in. >> wall street it's not. these guys place bets, they place long-term bets. they were often right. sometimes wrong. they bet on mitt romney this time. if you look how it's dividing up, they're reading the tea leaves about what it looks like in 2016 and it's pretty clear, they're siding up, if you look at the wall street money, chris christie and hillary clinton. it will be interesting if these two face off because they're both kind of from the northeast. she's nominally from illinois, but she was the new york senator. and the clintons were pro-wall street. it's interesting how this is work. christie is being backed up by the guy who started home depot. it's interesting because larry fink in particular wants to be treasury secretary. treasury secretaries used to
4:16 am
come from wall street preobama. wall street is the -- occupy wall street is a negative thing in this administration. but the clintons made a point of treasury secretary from wall street. i think larry wants that job. >> i get why wall street might like chris christie, because he has been a governor. he's turned that state around in many, many ways. you look at the president we've got right now. he's somebody who has never run anything before and as they start to implement the affordable care act, that's clear. so you need someone who knows that they're doing. >> christie is a form prosecutor. wall street, even democrats on wall street and republicans are much more moderate than the rest of the party. the wall street republicans generally aren't tea party people. ken langon, if you listen to his view, it wouldn't be of a tea party sort of bent. the same with democrats. lied -- loyd is a moderate.
4:17 am
>> hillary clinton has not run something before. if you look at her career as a secretary of state, she logged a lot of miles, but people say she really doesn't have many achievements. then as a senator, i mean, famously as first lady, she was kind of in charge of hillarycare and that cratered. >> the precursor for obamacare. you know, if you talk to wall street people, they say she's smart. i will say this, both republicans and democrats get along with the clintons. it's kind of interesting. dick rosso, used to run the stock exchange, conservative guy. likes hillary clinton a lot. remember, some of this is how you deal with people. one thing about president obama when you talk to wall street people, is that they feel tension with them, that he absolutely despises what they do and stand for. for good -- listen, wall street does a loft bad stuff, p t does good stuff. if you come public, you come public here. but there is a clear tension with president obama. you don't get that with either
4:18 am
hillary clinton or her husband. >> you've got to figure that a number of people on wall street remember the clinton years because that was the run up to the tech bubble and people were making a lot of money. >> and we should point out, a lot of sleaze went on during that time, which went unchecked by bill clinton and his various regulators. so they kind of like him for that reason as well. >> charlie, already look to 2016. thank you, sir. straight ahead on this thursday morning, moms and dads, do you want one of those bumper stickers that reads, my child is on the honor roll and yours isn't? now only your kids need are c's and d's to get the bumper sticker. and have you ever rearranged your furniture and found a couple of coins laying around in the cushions? one guy found $100,000 in cash. how did it wind up in his house and more importantly, what did he spend it on? he didn't spend it on anything. his story is next. ♪

4:24 am
disappointed. i was going to be like, we'll have to take off the hinges or the top of the desk. >> it's a big desk! >> yeah. it was a pain just to get it. after the fact, what a wonderful lesson. >> as you're taking apart the doors, you see this envelope. >> yes. in order to get the top of the desk off, you have to take out these two file cabinet drawers. we take them out, take the top off and sitting behind the drawers, not inside, but behind, there is this plastic shopping bag, which i could already see through has what looks like a dollar bill inside. then i pick it up and i feel has some weight to it. >> and then? >> we bring it to the dining room table and it's myself, my wife and a friend of mine who helped me move the desk. we're all just like looking at each other like, laughing like what is going on here? and we start counting up the money and it's in bundles of like 2,000 and 5,000. and the number keeps getting bigger and bigger. we're like laughing. >> jackpot, baby! >> that wasn't really what we were thinking. we're like, this can't be happening.
4:25 am
>> what was your initial reaction? was that this is ours? >> no. we never had any thought that the money should be ours. i told my wife right away that this lady had told us when we were at her house that she had bought this desk herself at staples a few years prior and put it together herself. so i said to my wife, this desk has always been hers. it's been sitting in her house. we have an obligation to return this money. >> what was the reaction when you picked up the phone and called her? >> she was just totally speechless. she was like -- she couldn't believe we would call to tell her about it. she said this, you could have kept this and no one would have ever known. it had fallen behind the drawer. i had no clue it was there. >> she sold it to you, she thought it was cleaned out. but you were the honest person. the rabbi just showed us the thank you card. it says, i cannot thank you enough for your honesty and integrity. i do not think there are many people in this world that would have done what you did by calling me.

4:45 am
dakota johnson on the cover of entertainment weekly. they are the stars of the movie "fifty shades of grey." elisabeth, over to you and peter. >> thanks. the numbers are in and obamacare and it's not look good, with dismal enrollment rates and 5 million uninsured after their plans were canceled, it's even mathematically semi impossible for this law to work. here to break down the numbers is peter johnson, jr. >> good morning. obamacare has become the disease now, not the cure. more politicians are wondering, has this become the new plague in america and americans in terms of the sign up numbers are equaling the politicians distaste for obamacare. let's look at the numbers. a certain number are needed by march 2014. where are we? we're at 106,000. that is state and also federal exchanges. now, how many -- what's the
4:46 am
percentage? we're at 1 1/2% of the march 31 goal. >> after all this time, we're less than 2%. >> we are. the obama administration was hoping for more than a half million people at this point. we're at 1 1/2%. we heard testimony in congress yesterday that they only have the capacity at this point, if the system is in fact working, to handle 25,000 people at a time. >> on the web site is this. >> on the web site. let's see hot numbers will work down. in order to meet the federal government's targets, they need about 50,000 people. 49,995 people to enroll every day. >> every day. but their capacity to take that many a day? >> it doesn't match the web site. if you average it out, they have 2400 people who are enrolling on average today based upon where the web site is and there is no assurance it will be up and running by november 30, despite the swat team that the white
4:47 am
house has put in place. there is a crisis of confidence and trust and a lot of democrats are running for the hills and running for the doors big time because they say i was a big principle obama guy, but i would rather return to congress in 2014 and people are screaming in america and maybe i better hear what they're saying. >> you're right on point here because this poll came out. here we have which source of information about obamacare do you trust the most? >> yeah. this is an interesting poll. it looked at republicans and at democrats and they looked at family and friends. fox news came out number 1 in a poll of about 1,000 respondents about who you trust to provide truthful information about health care and obamacare. the president was down at 11% and democrats were at like 2 or 3%. the other networks were at 2 and 3% as well. we also know quinnipiac and other polls show a trust deficit of the president in america.
4:48 am
8% trust deficit, which is unparalleled. on one poll more americans distrust the president than trust him. largely based on what's happened with his obamacare plan and his inability to get it up and these cancellations, which are staggering. 5 million. >> 5 million people having no policy. and then more people enrolling in the state exchanges when they had the chance rather than the federal exchange. really what is the next step? is that number possible? how can they possibly get that 7 million required to pay for the system which they're putting in place? >> it doesn't look like it's possible and it's really important when talking about the so-called death spiral f. they don't get the right numbers, the premiums are really going to go through the roof, access will be limited. the next broken promise we'll be looking at is the president says yeah, your plan is going to be canceled, but you're going to have a better, cheaper plan. does that become the next trust deficit in america in him making excuses about breaking the very
4:49 am
first promise? because impeercally, that's not true. more expensive, and the care may not be as good. >> on a personal level, it's hard to regain the trust once broken. peter johnson, jr., i trust you. >> thank you. and i trust you. >> 100%. imagine you're broke. you lose your house and you owe the bank a lot of money. if you don't have the cash, they may be able to raid your child's bank account. bob massi is here with how you can protect your kids. then, he's a magician. the government says if you will to pull the rabbit out of your hat, get a license. is the government waging a war against the little people? john stossel up here next, walk not guilty this morning. ♪ ♪ [ alarm sound for malfunctioning printer ]

exchange, look at this. over 5 million policies have been canceled. this web site has proven to be such a stink bomb, apparently about a third of the people who did apply used paper applications, which is so crazy. keep in mind, they're using kind of junk accounting to inflate these numbers that we're giving you because essentially when they said is these are people who have simply selected a plan. they may or may not have paid for it. theoretically, zero people may have paid for it so far, which is a number that the -- if it were not embarrassing, the administration would put that out. but it's clearly embarrassing and that's why we don't know. >> last night my son's knee is bothering him. we go to dave, the physical therapist, he said brian, you have to be tired of talking about obamacare. i said, wait a second. how could i be tired of talking about this? every day there is a new story that drives you crazy and it goes to make you wonder, when is this going to end? democrats a looking at how bad
5:03 am
this is, how much it cost, $600 million. seeing no end in sight. they're look to jump away from the president for the first time in 4 1/2 years. they are saying today in an emergency meeting with senator harry reid has called, you better put a fix-it plan together. bill clinton called you out yesterday. democrats are rung to bill clinton who might be running away because he's trying to preserve hillary's dancy and purity as it relates to obamacare. that's how poisonous obamacare is becoming. house democrats who are riding high three weeks ago are now saying, mr. president, if i don't see a cure, i'm going to go with this new republican plan that's going to be on the floor on friday. this is hours away from maybe the second term of the obama administration going up in flames. >> sure. they may be running, but can they hide? rand paul says i'm not sure they can. take a listen. >> a lot of people are running away from the president now. many of the fellow democrats in the senate are running away. but the one thing that hasn't been published so far and
5:04 am
publicized? every democrat in the senate voted for this rule. the rule that allows cancellations came up for a review. we had a vote on this three months after obamacare in the senate. we voted. every democrat, including the ones now complaining, voted to uphold the rule that allows your insurance to be canceled, that causes you to learn your doctor. this was all voted for by every democrat. so this is their baby. they're going to have trouble running away from this. >> exactly right. so for the democrats to now pretend yeah, you know, we didn't really know what was in it, of course, nancy pelosi famously said we have to -- >> where is she right now defending the plan that she really ram rodded through and the president would tell you that! nancy pelosi deserves all the credit in the world. >> she said yesterday that five times the number of people who actually did sign up for it signed up. she said -- she tweeted out million applied and are eligible. that simply is a gross
5:05 am
exaggeration. and when it comes to how badly this thing is working so far, there are five states where less than 100 people per state signed up. alaska, 53. we're gog have the senator with us in about 20 minutes. in north dakota, 42 people have signed up. secretary of defense secretary of defense, 48 -- south dakota. joe biden's home state, less than 100 people have signed up. >> let's take a look at this. remember the shutdown, the ends of reservetive republican, the end of the tea party, the end of another party. will there be a third party as republicans are fractured during the shutdown? man, have things changed among the public perception of where the parties are heading. 11-points swing. the republicans who were suffering so much when asked who would you vote for in your district? 343 -- 43% said now i'll vote for republican. look at the difference in october of this year.
5:06 am
>> six-point swing, right? >> right. 37 to 45. >> that's just one side. >> right. then look back in 2010. that was on the cusp of the midterm route by the republicans. 46-39. >> this is truly something that is plaguing the administration now as more and more people having their policies canceled, facing hikes in premiums. trey gowdy on the fix for obamacare mess on greta last night. >> the president likes to say elections have consequences and he's right. one should not issue that your fellow citizens are punished. if i can bring relief to people despite the anything like that that we warned them ahead of time this isn't going to work, i will do it. but we're so far down this train track now, you're right, you can't tell insurance companies what product to offer. you can't go back and reoffer canceled policies. so this is what happens when you base a campaign on a fundamental lie.
5:07 am
>> okay. so he referred it as a fundamental lie. you know, where you're talking about the president of the united states who lied to get reelected, we've got a brand-new poll out that how many people feel this way? president obama telling the americans they could keep their health plans. did he knowingly lie? half the country, 50% say yes, the president of the united states knowingly lied. 40% say he did not know. when it comes to the administration, has the administration been honest with americans about the health care law? 55% say the administration has tried to deceive. 40% say the administration has been honest. >> that's the beat of the american heart right there. those two last polls probably indicate more than so many others. >> it's definitely worse if the president knew ahead of time and he didn't tell us the truth. but only marginally better if he was so out of touch, he had no clue about the plan that has his
5:08 am
name on it and is his signature legislation. that's only a little better. >> sure. you're right about that. >> eric cantor was at that health care summit back in 2010 and queried the president about the cbo report that said millions will get knocked off and the president acknowledged he knew that was coming. so for the democrats now to say, we didn't know this was going to happen, they knew it was going to happen. so the dance on saying, well, it just came out of nowhere, it's going to be fun to watch. >> the american are not falling for that. we're going to keep on the pulse right there. in the meantime, heather nauert has some headlines. >> good morning. an update on a few stories we told but earlier. a tragic accident taking place at camp pendleton in california, leaving four marines dead. they were performing a routine sweep to clear a range of unexploded ordinance. the base says the cause is still under investigation. >> it's pretty sad. it hurts.

sadly, you're broke. you lose your house and you owe a lender a lot of money. so if you don't have the cash, they may be able to go to your . is there any way to protect that? is that true? fox news legal analyst bob massi joins us now with some answers. bob, they're going to the kids and they can't get the money from you? >> here is a back drop, a supreme court decision came down in nevada where a lender had a judgment against a previous homeowner. they went and garnished the accounts of the children. what happened was, is this was money, brian, that kids got over
5:16 am
their years from birthday parties, from jobs and things like that. their name was on the account. the parents' name was secondary. when they went to the bank, they took the kids' money and the nevada supreme court said, wait a second. they have the right to prove that's their money and not their kids' money, period. >> well, first off, if you have kids, a lot of times people look to hide their money by putting it into an account. is that correct? >> well, some people do. but generally, here is the issue. if you have children, okay, and you open up a bank account, in a lot of states, brian, just so you know, minors could actually only have their names on accounts and it varies from state to state. but the point is that when any creditor comes to a bank with what they call a writ of execution, the bottom line is if your children's name is on that account, but you as the adult is on there, the bank is not going to differentiate.
5:17 am
they're going to give the money to that creditor and that's what happened here. and the lower court judge would not allow those kids to have a day in court and the supreme court said wait a second. you just can't arbitrarily go in and take people's money that doesn't belong -- that belongs to somebody else! that's outrageous and it's happening and it has happened in this case and different parts of the country. >> for whatever, that young child could inherit money, have it for confirmation or communion or something else, so can a minor child open up an account in their own name without a cosigner being an adult? >> yeah. basically like, for example, my children when they were minors, i went to the bank. i started a college fund for them. i only had their names on the account. i was the signature on account, but their name did not appear on the account -- my name did not appear on the account for this exact reason. so what i want our viewers to understand is that when you open up these accounts, find out what the law is and what the bank's
5:18 am
policy is in the state where you live. what really aggravates me about this is a lender could go in and do this and understand this, the bank is not going to scrutinize where this came from. that's not their job. if they get legal papers that has your name on it, brian, as a result of a judgment, the fact that your children's name was on that account isn't relevant to the bank 'cause they're just going to follow what the law is and turn the money over. these kids had to go hire a lawyer and to this lawyer's credit, did it pro bono to get the money back. 2 1/2 years for a decision. it's outrageous that this would happen of the i wanted our viewers to understand, this is an important issue to understand when it comes to putting your children's names on accounts. >> that's why people write us and get answers like that in great detail. if you want to be on our next show, e-mail bob with questions

5:24 am
recent op ed in brazil wrote, when the house voted to cut $40 billion to the food stamp program over the next ten years, that was an example of government tightening its belt or making tough choices, it was a heartless act. it was cruel. >> rachel wrote a response to that op ed and is a spokesperson for the organization and joins us this morning of the good morning, rachel. >> thanks for having me on. >> so the original op ed that went out describes republicans as heartless and mean when it comes to their strategy over entitle ams. what's your response? >> i want to say if there is a family that needs food and needs access to food, we want them to have access to food stamps. that's why they want to reform the system, so they can take out the fraud. if you're a lottery winner, college student, you can't access it.
5:25 am
that's the best way to preserve it for those who truly need it. but i did write this response 'cause i want to address this issue of compassion because in brazil turns the issue of compassion and dignity on its head and really presents those who are for big government and for expanding the entitlement state as the people who are really -- care about the poor. and i questioned that because i think those who want to lift people out of poverty rather than make them comfortable in their poverty are the ones who truly care about poor people, about minorities. i will tell you this, i work for the hispanic organization that wants to empower hispanics economically. hispanics start businesses at two times the rate of the average american. so i say stop flicking us crumbs off the government table and how about creating more opportunities for us to start businesses, to create jobs?
5:26 am
that's why we risk so much as a community to come to this country to achieve the american dream. it's not going to happen on food stamps. >> you're right. in your article for national review on-line, you say ronald reagan once said the best social program is a job. >> absolutely. we also have evidence that this entitlement spread the wealth economy is really hurting the people who voted for obama, minorities, single women, young people, black family income dropped by $4,000. double digit unemployment. 2.5 million more hispanics living in poverty. now we know that because of obamacare, more jobs are being lost because 80% of all the jobs created last year were part-time. how do you make an american dream for your family? how do you build that for your family on a part-time job? so there is a lot of unintended
5:27 am
consequences to this big government idea and so that's what we're trying to educate hispanics about. >> you're doing it well, rachel. we're glad you're here expressing some legitimate concerns when it comes to entitlements and what they do. thanks. thank you. >> it is now 27 minutes after the top of the hour. we've got a fox news alert. we're just moments away from brand-new jobless numbers. break news on the economy is going to be coming up. >> yes. and then moms, dads, do you want one of those bumper stickers that says my child is on the honor roll? now all your kid needs are c's and d's. hear from someone mom that is outraged over that. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] introducing new fast acting advil. with an ultra-thin coating and fast absorbing advil ion core™ technology,

5:32 am
president obama? let's talk to senator mark begich, democrat from alaska. he's going to be in the white house meeting. good morning to you, senator. >> good morning. how are you today? >> we're doing okay. but you're feeling some heat from your people in alaska, aren't you? >> well, it depends on what the issue is. there is always issues that are hot back in alaska. doesn't matter if it's oil and gas issues or health care or making sure our air force base survives in fairbanks. so every day there is an issue on the forefront of alaska. >> senator, but today obviously, and for the past few months, obamacare is front and center. we know there is a meeting that harry reid called in for the democrats to get in there with the president to discuss obamacare. what everyone is furious about is the lie, as some put it, or misleading that the administration went forward with when it came to americans keeping their insurance. now, you voted for obamacare in 2010. if you had to look at it now, bumps and bruises, mishaps on-line, would you do that
5:33 am
again? would you vote for obamacare again today? >> here is how i look at this. that bill as i said, the day it passed is not perfect and i continued to work on fixing it. we got rid of the 1099 clause within a year after that bill passed. i voted to get rid of the medical device tax. i'm like you and many alaskans, frustrated, as i have said over and over again. when this web site got put up, october 1, i was on that web site as frustrated as everyone else, twice a day try to go get enrolled. as of this week, i got enrolled into the program on the marketplace. got rid of my own -- even though i could have got a government subsidy for being a federal employee, i'm not taking that. i enrolled like every alaskan. but it has been frustrating. i don't want to mislead you at all. i think go listening to alaskans, i'm as frustrated as they are. >> senator, let me ask you, so you say the affordable care act when you voted for it was not perfect and now you see that it certainly was not and it was not
5:34 am
what we were promised, why did you vote for it? >> actually, look at what people are being able to get. families for the first time, they're not denied because of preexisting conditions. children are not denied because of preexisting conditions. parents and families can carry their kids to the age of 26 on their policy. we filled the doughnut hole for seniors. >> what about the 5 million who have been canceled already? >> you know, today we're proposing another solution to that and i think there is a great opportunity to move forward and make sure those individuals who have been canceled -- let me make it very clear. some of those got policies over the last couple years that probably shouldn't have been sold those policies when insurance companies knew those policies would be canceled. but we're proposing a fix today that i'm happy to support. as i've always said, this law has issues that we should work on. i don't support the cadillac tax coming in in 2018, i'm working to get rid of that. but the law in general, to make sure people for the first time
5:35 am
are not denied, do you know how many people were denied by insurance -- >> senator, right. >> 34% -- >> as you know, because a loft those things and a lot of the expansion of the coverage, other people aren't allowed to keep their policies because they're forced to keep provisions in their policies they don't need, nor do they want. so you're taking some freedom away. in the big picture, do you feel in a way that you were sold down the river by an administration who promised you one plan and in reality, it's been a flat out disaster once we see it? >> i'll tell you, you said it. i've been frustrated. i have not been pleased with some of the outcomes that have come through the legislation as it's being implemented. >> we see your quotes here. even in 2010, you said we got to get this better. >> right. >> but having said that -- >> i have not been new on this issue, as you know. i think we have to hold them accountable and i am not going to let the president just come by and say, i'm going to promise something. i want proof in the pudding. >> i also understand you want it
5:36 am
this week now. in the house, they want to see a fix as soon as today. what would that fix look like and if it means more money, can you possibly agree to that in good conscience bag we're $17 trillion in debt? >> no, i don't think this will engage new dollars. what it will do is say to insurance companies, the plans that people had before october 1, they can keep and those conditions that i just laid out, carrying your kid on the policy 'til 26, filling the doughnut hole will stay intact. i think that's the right approach. today several senators will introduce this legislation. this to me is the right fix for something that i can tell you no one really anticipated. but i am not waiting, i am not waiting for the president's promise. i want to see results. so we're moving forward. >> speaking of the promise and what was known and not known, senator, you are aligning yourself with the people. you say i feel their pain. the majority of americans right now are saying that they believe that the president knew that this was going to happen.
5:37 am
the president knew in their minds that they were going to lose their policies. do you believe that the president knew? >> i don't know if the president knew or not, but i can tell you it's clear to me that within the bureaucracy, there is clearly some issues here with regards to how this was implemented. so my goal is, how do we move forward, because i want to make sure at the ends of the day, i campaigned on making sure families don't have to be denied for preexisting conditions. let me restate that statistic. before this law passed, 34% of those who went to the individual market to get insurance were denied. >> senator, before you go, does the white house have your back? you're a senator facing a tough fight in alaska. does the white house have your back? >> i'm focused on what alaska wants -- >> i know that. no, no, i understand. >> we have disagreed on many things. seer y gun, oil and gas, i'm not sure all the time. so i have to take care of what i have to take care of. >> is that a yes or no? >> well, i don't know. today i'm doing my own bill.
5:38 am
so i'm focused on what i need to do and if the president steps forward and has a proposal, i'll look at it. but i am not waiting for his proposal. >> if you knew in september that on october 1 this web site wasn't ready to go, would you have signed on with republicans who called for a delay? >> i think i would have said the web site itself -- not necessarily delaying the law, but i would have said we should have beta tested that web site much better than it was. as a form mayor, i have gone through this kind of situation before and you need to test these situations out. i'll tell you, i've been frustrated and disappointed. >> are you more disappointed -- >> i'm disappointed in how it's been implemented and rolled out. there was too many people making decisions that weren't coordinated. there wasn't a focus on how this would work. at the ends of the day, i met with insurance companies and others, we want happy customers. i want happy constituentses and the white house didn't help here. >> good luck with that happiest constituentses thing.
5:39 am
let us know how it works out. thank you very much for taking our questions. >> absolutely. >> heather? >> got some updates to bring you on benghazi. something i know you'll want to hear. there are some new details coming out about the benghazi terrorist attack that sources say at least two americans were severe hee injured that night. they suffered life-threatening injuries when mortars struck the c.i.a. annex roof top that they were defending. four americans were killed in that attack. this as we're hearing about a new report in the weekly standard. it claims that two former c.i.a. officials who were on the ground that night in benghazi were later asked to sign nondisclosure agreements at a memorial service for the americans killed. this allegedly happening more than six months after that assault. the c.i.a. has rejected the allegation that the agency tried to silence survivors. a congressional panel is holding closed door sessions today with eyewitnesses. they will also hold those sessions tomorrow. we'll watch this one very
