and e-mails. >> no. spying on children creates sneaky children. "fox & friends" starts now, by sp*e. good morning. it's tuesday, november 15. the obamacare white house knew the website wouldn't be ready more than six months ago but was the commander in chief left in the dark? >> i was not informed directly that the website would not be working the way it was supposed to. >> coming up, the obamacare coverup continues. >> remember right before the elections last year when the unemployment numbers suddenly dropped. new details out this morning. it sounds like that number was rigged. >> and this video has everyone talking.

were the cops justified when they opened fire on a minivan full of kids? we report, you decide, because "fox & friends," according to elisabeth hasselbeck, who knows everything, starts now. >> i know nothing. ♪ ♪ >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> welcome back to the curvy couch. brian kilmeade, we missed you yesterday. >> i know. the first time we haven't been together since you started. it was strange. >> we had the shakes here. >> it turns out all three of us at separate times called dr. keith ablow to get us through it. >> it turns out two of us are normal. one is not. >> you decide. i have a sense i know how this is going to go. >> good to have you back. >> thank you for having me back. good job, eric bolling, by the way. >> brian, when we saw you last we were talking about the troubles at that house

right there in the middle of washington, d.c. and the rollout of the affordable care act. you know, how many times have we heard the president say i didn't know there were big troubles. in fact, let's play the president right now and that's going to set up all this other stuff we're about to say. listen to this. >> on the website, i was not informed directly that the website would not be working the way it was supposed to. had i been informed, i wouldn't be going out saying, boy, this is going to be great. you know, i'm accused of a lot of things, but i don't think i'm stupid enough to go around saying this is going to be like shopping on amazon or travelocity a week before the website opens if i thought it wasn't going to work. >> now we know that people in the white house, people in the administration knew as far back as march that this thing was going to stink. >> right. according to "the washington post" here and according to a house

subcommittee, republican chairman,s assessment shows the administration knew more than it let on, mackenzie and company, the consulting team brought in to assess the project, actually was projecting that there could be risky consequences going forward with the site. >> listen to this. on the spring, this outside firm, which i think is a great tactic if you have major plan about the rollout, get someone on the outside to analyze where you're at, mackenzie and condition which spun out into an evening drama on abc, they came out with a proposal and said you've got problems coming occupy. this went to health and human services department as well as white house officials. they said here is a 14 slide presentation with all the issues coming out in the fall. they predicted all this was happening. the presentations took place between march 28 and april 8. white house officials are there. health and human services officials are there. days later kathleen sebelius says we're right on track to rolling out

flawlessly october 1. are we to assume there was such a culture of intimidation or no drama within the white house that no one has had the courage or the responsibility enough to prime the president and say i just saw a presentation. this fall is going to be scary on the rollout? >> what is curious about that is kathleen sebelius was in the meeting. she was there. marilyn tavenner who runs c.m.s., they were there. they heard. one of the things mackenzie said was if your website is not working, the call centers can't get the stuff into the system. we found that out the hard way. they also said there is no single person in charge. this is a giant bureaucracy. you need a project manager. but the federal government said we can handle it. they couldn't. meanwhile it gets even

worse. according to -- so that was that. they knew. they knew going back. how many times do we hear the president and his surrogates say if you like your plan, you can keep it? they have known for years that tens of millions of people would lose it. right now they're going it was only going to affect 5% of the country. right now there's a story starting on national review on-line. it says in 2010 inserted in the federal register was the fact that department of justice lawyers knew that perhaps up to 80 million americans, if you have not just individual health care policy on the individual market, but if you had it through your employer, you would probably lose your policy as well because your policy did not meet the strict standards of the affordable care act. >> right. it was originally grandfathered in. i mean, you go back, we're now closing 2013, you go down to here and you see the information that is

there. june 17, 2010, it acknowledges here, and we have this statement from the department of justice here, october 13, even under grandfathering provisions projected that more group health plans will transition -- key word -- to the requirements under the regulation as time goes on. that's october 13. certainly something that raises a question. they originally grandfathered these plans and then went back and said that's a little broad. we're going to tighten the reins there so if the policy makes any change, which they typically do, and even if you're okay with that change, say it's a deductible shift, a co-pay that changes, you think they're okay with that? they are no longer going to be able to cover you. you are out. you're out of luck, you're out of insurance and here we are. >> if you're a small business, you're one of the 66% who will be forced to eliminate your plan because it didn't meet those standards, i have an idea, why don't we waive the mandate for small

businesses, this way it won't be devastating come election time in 2012. a former federal prosecutor weighed in. >> this is about as insidious as it gets. the grandfather clause, which he looked everyone in the country in the eye over and said if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, what this shows is they never thought the grandfather clause was real in the first place. >> why did the administration delay the, you know, the employee mandate by a year? because if a majority of americans knew that they would lose their health insurance through work, you got to figure mitt romney would have won in a landslide. speaking of the election, let's talk about the unemployment number just before the election, turns out a little fishy. >> it may be a little fudged there. more shocking information. the people at the census fudged the job numbers leading up to the 2012 election. jack welch called it and was actually criticized. listen to this. he was actually on cavuto.

>> this number is made up of a mess of assumptions. who is participating? who is not working? who is trying to work but has dropped out? all these things, it just raises the question, i think there ought to be a good discuss about how this number is calculated. >> how the number is calculated is one issue. but the issue that we're talking about is how the number was skewed and was fudged because we're talking about out of nowhere the unemployment rate dropped from 8.1% to 7.8% at the crucial time between august and september. so -- the conventions are over. you wonder if the economy is on track. you've got mr. economic business wiz mitt romney coming up the rear. and all of a sudden the unemployment rate is dropping. you're thinking maybe we are on the right track. jack welch comes out and says, i'll paraphrase, it's amazing what these chicago guys will do to win an

election. >> what is going to be included next in the statistic? you had a dream about getting a job? you were sad about losing your job and hope one day you can get it? this is something so serious and affecting millions of americans out there to have a loosey goosey number about unemployment going forward is infewer -- infuriating. >> in "the new york post" today there is an item where the author talked to the fellow accused of fudging the numbers. this guy's name is julius buckmon and was essentially told to make up information by the census bureau. >> to make it seem like more people had jobs than had jobs. >> nine out of ten household have got to report. they weren't in the philly and new york area. so he was told essentially somebody called him on the phone and said, quote, go ahead and fabricate it. so this guy, rather than actually calling people, just made stuff up. the problem with that is if you say that you talked to

somebody, essentially you are creating a job. so the more people he fabricated, the higher the number went. and according to the column, it continues to this day. >> that's why people say the numbers don't feel right. the economy may look one way but it feels a different way. >> that's the problem. what is the real unemployment rate there this country? if you've got people in the federal government fabricating a number, i mean, the fed right now is thinking about easing, quantitative easing part 3. well, if the number is not right and they do that, that could have dire consequences for the country. what is the number? >> ten minutes after the hour. heather nauert answers the question what else is there on news? >> good morning to you guys. hope you're off to a great day and nice to have you back brian. we do have serious news to bring you. we start out with a fox news alert. there has been an explosion at the iranian embassy in lebanon that has left 23

people dead this morning. nearly 150 more people have been injured. this happened at an upscale neighborhood near beirut and it is believed a homicide bomber detonated two explosives, one on his body and another one in a car nearby. this area is known as being a stronghold for the iranian backed group hezbollah. this same group is accused of helping the syrian president bashar al-assad stay in power. another developing story overnight, an acid spill in california making dozens of people sick to their stomachs. the situation unfolding at a warehouse in carson. 12 workers from the brookville international corporation were rushed to the hospital. their noses and throats were burning they reported. sulfuric acid from a nearby chemical company they believe to be the cause. >> george zimmerman is waking up in a jail cell this morning and in just a few hours he'll be arraigned on assault charges. his girlfriend called 911. she claimed that he pointed a shotgun at her during a

fight. take a listen. >> he put your gun in my freakin' face and told me to get the [bleep] out because this is not your house. get out of here. >> this is not zimmerman's first run-in in the law since being acquitted in the shooting death of trayvon martin. >> toronto mayor rob ford is calling an all-out war. look at this yesterday. that was at the city council meeting. the city council stripped away most of his powers. listen to this. >> you can't stop me from showing up at council, debating every issue. >> crack cocaine. being drunk in public. >> it only got worse for ford. during the vote he got into a screaming match with the public and then he knocked over a female counsel there. by the way, his reality show was on last night.

after rallying for obamacare, unions in this country seem to have a change of heart. now it appears the white house may woo back big labor by letting them dodge a tax attached to the law. and the lost money will likely come out of all of our pockets. fox news contributor mallory packer joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. what do you mean woo back? you mean pay back. right after the election richard trunka, head of the afl-cio went on and spoke to a whole group of people and said if it wasn't for us, obama wouldn't have won ohio, wisconsin, nevada and about three or four other states. they're paying them back now. >> let's talk about the latest tax they might get to skip on. essentially what it is is it is supposed to be spread out among all americans. they got to raise $12 billion, some crazy number

like that. everybody is supposed to pay 63 bucks except the union want a get out of jail card. >> the unions are going to get a get out of jail card because one thing you can count on from this administration is they're going to take care of their friends and everybody else is going to have to pay. what this tax basically does is it pays for insurance companies to take on those people who are, have preexisting conditions and those people that were uninsured and the unions, those really nice folks who want to take care of the working people, they're saying we don't want to have to pay that. we don't want to have to help pay it. >> you look at the language in the law, it's been so carved out, especially for unions. it would only apply to unions. but you know what? for the rest of us who would wind up picking up the slack, how should we feel about them getting a special carveout? >> we should feel pretty bad but the fact is we're going to get stuck with it. the obama administration is going to take care of the unions and the shadow

bosses. >> which you detail they have all along. the president got a lot of support from the unions in the beginning, and there was this -- there's been kind of a ying and yang thing going with support for obamacare. right now they support it provided they don't have to pay the tax? >> the unions pushed real hard. one of the reasons they pushed is they only have about 10% of the health care industry unionized, and with obamacare a lot of health care workers will become government employees. 21 million potential people as union members. and keep in mind there is one little metric. for every million new members, that's almost $1 billion in dues annually for the shadow bosses. that's a lot of money. >> in addition to writing the book "shadow boxes" he

is a coach for his son and the record is? >> ten and 0. >> mallory, thank you for joining us. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, chris christie has harsh words for the g.o.p. is that a smart move? we'll play you the tape so you can decide. 150 years ago today americans first heard what would become one of the most iconic speeches in history, the gettysburg address. to mark the special occasion we have asked some of our special friends to deliver it. >> our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. >> now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.

it is made in italy and is used widely overseas. when you talk to some experts, they say if it is used properly it is more than 80% effective. so the school began administering this vaccine on a voluntary basis beginning in december. the second dose will come in february. they say you need two doses for maximum protection. that is the latest. >> big decision to make. 25 minutes after the hour. >> 150 years ago today president abraham lincoln delivered one of the most famous speeches in american history. we're talking about the gettysburg address delivered four and a half months after the union's army victory, the battle of gettysburg. >> it took the president two minutes to describe the principles of america while honoring fallen soldiers. to mark this historic day we asked some of our very special friend here on "fox & friends" to help deliver lincoln's most famous

nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. >> rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here advanced so nobly. >> the great task rage before us. >> we take increased devotion to that cause for which we gave the last full measure of devotion. that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom. and a government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish on the earth. >> 150 years ago today, the gettysburg address. >> thanks everybody who helped us out with that. we would have them on the program over the last month or two. everybody loved to be a part of it. >> it gives me chills.

in shooting at the car. let's ask fox news senior analyst judge andrew napolitano. judge, we spelled it o.u. who was wrong? who was right? >> fortunately we have the tape to look at which is the same tape the jury will see. the question is will the jury see the tape in the prosecution of the mother and 14-year-old son or will the jury see the tape in the prosecution of the cops? the job of the prosecution in new mexico will be who to charge? it is clear the cops used unjustifiable and deadly force. it is clear they endangered children. it is clear there were less deadly ways to stop the car. it is almost impossible in this country to escape the cops totally. they could have clearly caught the mother who did nothing but a traffic violation. >> and not stop. >> without shooting at her. the law is that the police can't use deadly force unless deadly force has been used on them. >> do you think that the son, the 14-year-old son --

you don't know how old he is -- coming out after them, is this deadly force? >> no. clearly what he did was a felony. you can't strike the police like that. you could stand between the cops and your mother to protect her. you could talk aggressively to the cops but you can't use your fists on the cops. even if he did use his fists on the cops, and it's apparent that he did, that does not justify using deadly force on the car with children in there. the woman was unarmed. the boy was unarmed. the police had no right to shoot. >> judge, it looks like you're right. they weren't armed. but at the time why should an officer assume there's no guns in the car, that someone was already brazen enough to open their door and attack them, what makes you think there's not something in there that would force her to keep driving. in the mind of law enforcement, all these what ifs are in their head? >> the what ifs do not justify the use of deadly force. the police would have to know, not have a hunch but

know there is a weapon in the car in order to utilize deadly car. you have a cop shooting at a car with children in there. even if he's aiming at the tires, even if he's shooting in the air just to scare them, which is not the case here, the trauma to the children could be very long lasting. >> how do you know those children are her stph-s why would a -- are hers? why would a 14-year-old attack a cop? maybe she was hiding something inside. >> you could go maybe or what if all day but without some objective evidence that the people in the car were using deadly force, the law is pretty clear, the law is the same everywhere. >> do you believe right now -- >> i believe what he's doing right there is a criminal act for which he should be prosecuted. should have been arrested on the spot by his fellow cops. >> but they wouldn't open the door. >> it doesn't justify the use of that kind of violence when you have children in the car. you're going to spray glass in the face of children for

reasons that you can't explain. >> judge, it's the woman putting those kids in jeopardy, not the cops. >> the cops are putting the kids in jeopardy by doing what he's doing right there. there's far less violent ways to restrain that car. simply follow it at a decent rate of speed. at some point it will stop. >> regardless of the charges, who has legal action after this? >> she has a cause of action against the police, the government has a cause of action against her, the feds have a cause of action against the cops if the local prosecutors don't go after the cops. >> the bottom line is don't run from the cops. >> restrain yourself. >> judge, we wore you out today. >> congratulations on that book. >> thank you, judge, great job as usual. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. coming up straight ahead, a new famous face joining us here at fox. we'll tell you who is joining the fox team.

♪ ♪ saddle up my horse ♪ ♪ i make a lot of noise 'cause the girls they are so pretty ♪ >> is this live from the brooklyn bridge? >> yes, it is. we have cameras everywhere. >> it's that surveillance camera we put on top. >> that's john rich from big and rich and he's coming up this hour. >> thank you very much for joining us today. brian, welcome back. >> thanks for having me back. appreciate it. it was touch and go. you could have called, elisabeth. >> i tweeted. >> you did tweet. that's all that matters. listen, you got to give the obama administration credit. they went to an outside firm to take a look if they were on track to have a successful rollout in the fall. i have to give credit, especially this outside firm gave them candid answers and a review that trouble could be looming in the fall. the question is, did anyone hear

it if a warning happens in the middle of a presentation and no one pays attention, does it actually make a noise? it turns out white house officials are there, kathleen sebelius are there. the report was not adhered to, to say the least. >> right. they were there, they heard it. but we still keep hearing no one knew. >> they were all there, according to the reports and we have documents that are indicating now that they knew. they had, what, 14 points of warning that they put forward to let everyone know that there were risks ahead proceeding with the web site not ready. >> in particular, they said, you haven't done enough testing. this was in march. you haven't done enough testing. they still hadn't done an end to end test when we went live october 1. so in the beginning when people started getting that message, hey, the marketplace isn't work, it's kind of like, whoa, when did they figure that out, that it wasn't going to work? then it was like, yeah, in the last couple weeks, we heard we

were having trouble. nope. mckinzie and company told the federal government back in march and april, you've got a major problem. and then for them to present this directly to kathleen sebelius and marilyn tavenner and the guy in charge of the chief -- the chief officer fort white house, for them all to be sitting right there and for them not to tell the president of the united states, their boss, about his signature legislation, that seems like it's fireable right there. >> how about this, steve? kathleen sebelius said two weeks after she received that presentation, between march 28 and april 8, 14 slides. good to know people are still using slides. they came out and said how tragic this could be. kathleen sebelius testified in front of a panel that the project was on track. so right there we're not being candid with the people asking questions. people are asking questions. outside company coming in is a great thing. but still, the president, whether he was oblivious or not, doesn't seem, if you take him to his word, he doesn't seem to have been informed of that

presentation or else wouldn't you think he would have taken republicans up on their offer to delay the obamacare rollout in september? >> maybe that track was a track to catastrophe as we're seeing now. for the sake of actor, let's assume the president didn't know. that no one did formally inform him. that's the web site. so subject two would be the actual system that's been put in place here where millions of americans are losing their insurance plans and documents now proving that the department of justice argued in court millions would indeed lose their coverage before the president apologized for misleading the public, which is astounding to know this now, given the fact that so many are without coverage and the president continued to say that he didn't know. correct? >> that's right. here is the president on november 14th talking about all the trouble. >> there is no doubt that the way i put that forward unequivocally ended up not being accurate. it was not because of my

intentions not to deliver on that commitment and that promise. we put a grandfather clause into the law, but it was insufficient. >> so what he's talking about right there is the fact that he said for years, if you like your health care, you can keep it. well, now we know that that was a misrepresentation. some called it a lie. it simply was not true. but the white house answers, well, it was only 95% of the people out there in the united states. 95% of the country is not involved in the individual markets. just that 5% is. as it turns out, in these documents filed in 2010, department of justice lawyers knew that people who, if you get your health care through work, as we all do right here, there is a real good chance that your policies will vanish as well because they do not meet the very strict standards of the affordable care act.

so what's interesting is they knew back in 2010 that perhaps 80, 90, 100 million people would lose their insurance. you know what? they didn't bring that up before the election because if the average person knew a year ago that there was a really good chance you would lose your insurance through work, mitt romney probably would have won in a landslide. >> yeah. 66% of the small business plans were going to go by the wayside and 45% of the larger business plans were going to fall apart by the end of 2013 unless something was done. they have put it all on hold. that's coming your way next year. meanwhile, remember one thing that was shocking. it is kind of odd because i'm not smart enough to come up with a reason with the unemployment number, i thought it was kind of odd the way they called around to get a stat on what the unemployment number in this country is. having said that, that's the way the system is. that's the way the system is. i never thought that somebody would have their finger on the scale when it came to the

unemployment number, but it turns out this staggering stat came across. elisabeth, you were at "the view" at the time. the unemployment number dropped from 8.1 to 7.8, right after the convention. for those who said the economy was not on track, wait a second. you don't look like you're in touch. it looks like the unemployment is dropping and the country is on track. i might as well vote for president obama. >> right. but there were many people who that number there all of a sudden a significant drop, things are looking great on paper, but not feeling great for the american people, gave great pause and now we're finding out there was someone on one side of the scale. there was a name, julius buckman, according to confidential sentences documents obtained by the post. he told in an interview that he was told to make up information as he went along. this is on crucial information as we headed into an election season. >> fill out these forms for

people that didn't exist. >> well, because they had to have a 90% return rate and because they couldn't get 90% in the new york and the philly areas, what this guy was told on the phone by one of his bosses, just make the stuff up. >> go ahead and fabricate it. >> what that did then was that made -- by making up, somebody has a job, that reduced the number. back in 2010, the guy who used to run ge got on the cavuto show in 2012 and said this. >> this whole number is made up of a whole mess of assumptions, who is participating, who is not work, who is trying to work but has dropped out. all these things. it just makes this a question -- i think there ought to be a good discussion about how this number is calculated. >> he says it's simple math. he can not get 150,000 people joining the eligible work force, creating 14,000 jobs and simultaneously is the percentage

of unemployed americans dropped. everyone said he was crazy, he was nuts and he was irresponsible. it turns out his instincts were correct. he within with his gut. >> so combine what we have told you in the last seven minutes, you've got somebody there at census making up unemployment numbers. also they knew three years ago that 80 million americans would lose their insurance through work and have to get another policy. do you think that would have impacted the election? just asking. >> do you think that's why we didn't know about it? >> do you think? e-mail us. you could twitter us or facebook us right now. >> heather nauert is here now. good morning. >> i've got headlines to bring you. following breaking news. a fox news alert right now, an explosion tehran embassy in lebanon leaving 23 people dead this morning and nearly 150 more have been injured. one of them we are hearing right

there are signs both political bparties in washington get it: washington is lagging behind the country on this... ...this issue has been around far too long... and yet, we wait. reforming our immigration system would dramatically reduce our nation's debt... grow the economy by 5.4% ... and take bold steps to secure our borders. on this, both parties say they agree: democrats... we are very very strongly in favor of moving immigration reform... and republicans... we do want to make some progress in reforming our broken immigration system... and yet, we wait... americans are tired of empty rhetoric. it is time for every leader to

come through on their promise... and fix our broken immigration system tell congress: the time is now. fix america's broken immigration system.

the latest white house plan to fix the obamacare web site is to now let enrollees skip the web site and sign up directly through insurers. >> terrific. doesn't that defeat the purpose of the affordable care act

rollout? joining us now is wisconsin governor and the author of a new book called "unintimidated," scott walker. good morning to you. >> good to be with you guys. >> before we talk about your book, we want to talk about just that. first off, what about going directly to insurance companies? >> you know, this whole thing is just a mess and it gets worse every day. last week we talked about delaying in wisconsin the transition we were going to make to move people into the marketplace out of medicaid by three months because as much as it would be politically correct to point to that and say i told you so because i was against obamacare, in the ends, there is real people falling through the cracks. that's the frustrating part because republican, we should offer a better alternative, but also empathetic of the people who are really stuck. >> will the failure of obamacare be at the helm of the ship going forward in the election? >> there is no doubt about it. 2014, i think it's one of the key elements to getting the united states senate back. if you're in arkansas, louisiana, west virginia, montana, new hampshire, all those states are states where i think you've got potentially

challengeable democrats who themselves are very worried about that. compelling argument is postpone it until it can work. i think most americans understand this is not working. >> you just have to talk to one american who lives at 1600 pennsylvania into it and then you'd be okay. want the state of the tea party? going forward 2016 and even the midterm elections next year, how potent a force will it be? >> i think some people in the media, not you guys, tried to plain it as it's all one group exactly the same. it's years of pents up frustration over the growing size of the federal government and obamacare was the tipping point that kind of blew the lid off the kettle here. i think people are still very frustrated with government. even more so when they see how incompetent the federal government is when it comes it obamacare. >> in your book, you talk about how it seemed like the whole world was against you. you hopped on our show in the middle of the recall election and you seemed to us to be unintimidated and cool. but underneath, what was really

going on with you and your family? >> it was pretty intense. one of the things i mention in the book is literally, a letter that was probably the biggest shocking one, but i had a stack of death threats. one was directed at my wife who talked about how wisconsin has never had a governor assassinated and how she maybe should think about that and trio persuade me. talked about where she worked. >> they took over your house. >> thousands of people. the stories we talk about are things like glueing the door shut on an elementary school i went to read at. people dressed up as glom bees at a -- zombies where i was speaking. most people heard about the recall. but until you read the book, you don't fully understand what was going on in the state at that time and why we did what we did. >> you didn't turn and run, right? but you might run. what about let talk 2016. what are your intentions, governor? >> for me, any republican, me or anybody else who is not focused

on 2014 is really doing a disservice. i think 14 is the key. we got to get the senate back. what we showed in our book, not only in wisconsin but other key battle ground states across america america where in 2010 not only were governors elected as republicans, that was the key to success. you have a whole team in place, you can push aggressive reforms forward. we need to do that in washington. >> governors, you believe, are more than qualified? >> paul ryan is probably one of the exceptions out there. he's one of those guys that really has been very compelling. by and large, republican governors, 30 of us, are getting real reforms done. that's what people need in washington. >> when you look at the disastrous rollout of the affordable care act, you really need somebody as president who has run something. >> right. there is a big -- there is a loft critiques of the way that apparently and i'll let others comment on the sources on this -- but so much of what's happening in the white house and in the administration is driven by the political team. not the policy team. as a governor, what we learned and i would not not just me, but other governors is you got to talk to your policy team to make sure you can actually do what

you're promising out there. in our state, i hope one of the things people know is whether you like me or hate me, you don't have to wonder if i do what i say i'm gog do. that's not happening in this white house. >> made by your track record that, would give you momentum. i read that, how governors sometimes say you got to learn to talk to everybody. do you have relationships in washington that you think you could function there? >> in our case, in our state, what we do as a practice is meet with the leaders on both parties once a week when they're in session. >> that's a refreshing concept. >> even if you disagree, i remember in the book i tell an interesting story about meeting with the two democrat leaders and their jaw dropped when i told them i was going to do the reforms. but we felt we owed it to them to tell them what we were doing. >> and they left. >> yeah. 14 of them left. that's why i love the sticker i got. one walker beats 14 runners. >> the book is called "unintimidated." it's the kind of book you write before you run for president. thank you for joining us live. >> coming up straight ahead, the

she said argument. the whole time the 911 operator listening in to their battle. take a listen. >> you put your gun in my frickeen face and told me to get the (bleep) out 'cause this is your house! no, get out of here. he pushed me out of my house and locked me out. >> reporter: that call was from 27-year-old samantha, the current live-in girlfriend with george zimmerman. she said she was in the process of breaking up with him when he began to break things in the house and then point a gun at her. he said the alleged conversation started because she said she was pregnant and didn't want them to raise their baby together. when officers showed up, he actually -- she said to officers she wasn't pregnant. his first appearance will be around 1:30 this afternoon. we're going to be here with the latest details. in the meantime, officials are checking on him every hour. back to you. >> thanks for being with us live from florida. we appreciate that. steve? thank you. it is the education overhaul

that parents across the country have feared for years. local schools forced to throw away their local standards so that the federal government can step in and tell them what to teach. >> those new standards are called common core, being adopted in 45 states. all of them coerced by the obama administration with promises of more federal money. but the administration just found out it's got an unlikely foe. >> standards based education is ruining the way we teach and learn. yes, i've already been told by legislators and administrators that's just the way things work. but why? why do we just manufacturer robots instead of students? today we find ourselves in a nation that produces workers. everything is career and college preparation. somewhere our founding fathers are turning in their graves pleading, screaming and trying to say to us that we teach to free minds. we teach to inspire. we teach to equip. the careers will come naturally. >> epic! that was 18-year-old ethan young. he joins us right now from knoxville, tennessee.

good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> it's great to have you. you hate common core and it took a lot of courage for you to get in front of your school board there in knox county, tennessee. why did you do it? >> well, i do dislike common core. i think for me, the opportunity was open. there were a lot of teachers at my school and in the county that were rallying to talk about teacher evaluations. i felt that as a student, i might sign up and contribute something from a student's perspective about some problems with common core and teacher evaluations. >> i understand you started getting turned of a in 7th grade because everyone keeps teaching for the test. >> absolutely. so in 7th grade i noticed problems with the t cap, which is our state assessment program. really since then i've been paying attention to what happens in education. i really feel like the biggest problem that we face is just the standardization across the board and also trying to quantify everything in education.

i feel that we do have to have standards, but there needs to be a much less emphasis on the standards. >> sure. standards are important. it's important for people to know certain things. but ethan, one of the things that you railed against is the fact that we are dumbing down the standards. that's the rap against common core. >> sure. and, you know, the thing is, we can argue about the individual standards and i think that we can develop different standards throughout the coming years and try to revise something. however, whereas common core might suggest standard should play 80 to 100% in standard education, it really only needs to play 10%. yes, we have to have these standards and they can be rigorous. but the reality is there is a loft good things in education that can't be quantified. >> you're an 18-year-old senior. where you going next year? >> i'm not sure yet. i'm undecided about college and major. but i am very excited about

attending college and kind of exploring more about what interests me. >> if they're smart, be about 100 colleges waiting outside your door. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much for having me. >> nice to meet you. 29 minutes exactly after the top of the hour. coming up, one of these doesn't belong on the same shelf.

what's your position and what does this mean? >> john kerry says if congress takes up another round of sanctions, that will lead to war. and some people are saying a bad deal will lead to war. the goal is not to have a war. what would be a bad deal, if at the end of the day, the deal allowed the iranians the capability to develop a nuclear weapon. if you left the centrifuges intact, enough of them to produce a weapon down the road and the only thing between them producing a weapon is a budge of u.n. inspectors, that has never worked for israel. that would be a bad deal. >> john kerry says israel wants every scrap of nuclear infrastructure dismantled. we'd love that, but that's not possible at this time. >> that is possible. here is four things that would make up a good deal. turn over all enriched uranium to the international community. that's a u.n. resolution. get out of the enrichment business. dismantle the plutonium producing reactor at iraq.

arak. that will never allowed to go operation to produce plutonium. if you want a commercial nukecally program, which is fine with me, let the fuel cycle be controlled by the international community. i'm going to introduce a resolution that defines a good deal as those four things. we'll see where the senate comes out on this. >> yeah. remember back in the day for a while, one administration was trusting north korea. how did that work out for us? >> not good. if you back off the sanctions, which the president wants us to do, if you infuse this regime with $10 billion, you don't dismantle their capabilities to produce a weapon, the international community is going to say, aha, sanctions are behind us and they're going to race to do business with iran and that's exactly what happened in north korea. >> here is netanyahu weighing in on this prospect this weekend. >> in fact, if do you a bad deal, you may get to the point where your only option is a military option. so bad deal actually can lead you to exactly the place you don't want to be. >> he says he might bomb

>> i introduced legislation to allow states to opt out. every obama friend has gotten a waiver. if you want to stay in new york, fine, give us a chance to opt out in north carolina. democratic senators up for reelection are going to find a we to get this monkey off their back before next november. that's how this ends. >> senator, thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. >> good to see you on the couch. >> great. >> it saves us money on the satellite costs. >> straight ahead, are you a stay at home mom desperate to get back into the work force? we got the casone kid to give you the tips to get you back in the game. she's almost here. ♪ ♪ [ eeping ] [ male announcer ] you hear that?

first thing is i want you to think about what your life will be for you, your children, your husband, when you go back to work. who is going to be cleaning the house? who will cook? and also think about what you want to do. what skills do you have right now, the types of things that maybe you're good at that kids tell you that you can put on your resume. >> you say volunteer, take on projects. >> yeah. that's huge. even if you're volunteering at your children's school, even if you're working at the local animal shelter, those are actually skill sets that you can put on the resume to say i've been doing x, y and z. you could put down the shelter, but those are job skills you can take to a company. >> two other things, stay in the loop, prepare the right resume. >> okay. resume, a little more complicated. but stay in the loop, that's crucial. you need to call up real professors and start going to networking events of other business professionals. start calling your college roommate. you got to reconnect to people that may be able to give you a

lead on the job. most companies like to hire someone that knows someone within the company. it's still about networking today. as far as the resume, put all those skills that you kind of come up with, put those at the top of the resume to show the skills that you have to bring to that company so that they're not sitting this going, okay. she's been home watching oprah or whatever all day long. you're going to say no, that's not what i've been doing. i've been working my tail off at home and here is what i've been doing. put it in business terms. you can't put manage screaming kids, but say manages a household of five or whatever. >> don't be afraid to start low on the totem pole. >> you may have to go back as a contractor and do an internship. it depends how long you've been out of the work force. even going back and taking something, even if you know it's below you, you've got a harvard degree but you'll have to intern for a little while or work part-time, take that because it's like getting your foot in the door. like i said, there is still a

something not so happy. we're getting to know more and more about obamacare. it seems like every corner, it couldn't be worse. now there is a story out in the "washington post" sitting down in washington right now, mckinzie and company, the great and very famous, very powerful consulting firm, they did a presentation for members of the cabinet and the white house and the administration back in march and april saying this thing, this web site so far is going to really stink. in the audience right there, kathleen sebelius, marilyn tavenner, the chief white house technical guy. they all knew. the question is, do you think they told the president or was he completely oblivious? >> we know that mark childress, who is the deputy chief of staff at the white house, he was at a number of these meetings. so mckinzie i think right now at this point is looking -- at that point was look at the web site thinking, wait a second. we need this, this, this and this. we got a loft problems here. we have not a single one person in charge to coordinate

everything, which you need a quarterback for a project like this. it wasn't kathleen sebelius. she clearly was not doing due diligence necessary or she was so committed to that deadline of october 1, no matter what, this thing is launching. so did childress share this with valerie jarrett at the white house or with any of his top staff? if he didn't, well, that's a problem, right? if did he, it's also a problem. so there is more dysfunction in this white house than i think we even know about now. >> you mentioned quarterback. what about general manager? listen to this one more time, november 14th, the president saying, i didn't know this was happening. totally taken off guard. take a listen. >> on the web site, i was not informed directly that the web site would not be working the way it was supposed to. had i been informed, i wouldn't be going out saying, boy, this is going to be great. you know, i'm accused of a lot of things, but i don't think i'm

stupid enough to go around saying this is going to be like shopping on amazon or travelocity a week before the web site opens if i thought that it wasn't going to work. >> kathleen sebelius two weeks later who was in that meeting came forward and said, everything is on track. everything is fine. they could have thrown up red flags then. if they knew this and had this meeting, this briefing in april/may, why wouldn't they take the republicans' offer of a delay in september and with a wink and a nod say, this is exactly what we were hoping for? >> because they're fanatics. fanatics do things that don't make a lot of things logically because they're fanatics. they're fanatics for redistributing wealth. okay? and so a deadline was going to be met come hell or high water. and one thing that i just caught when you played that sound bite again, and i probably heard it five times on my radio show and now today, he said, i was never told directly about problems with the web site.

directly. well, is mark childress, when he says look, mr. president, we got some problems, or tells valerie jarrett, there was real problems. we got to have one person in charge here. we could be hitting a disaster come october. did he tell jarrett and did jarrett tell barak obama? i don't know. we just found out today that by the way, the obamas celebrated valuey jarrett's birthday at a fancy washington restaurant over the weekend. they're very tight. so the whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense. but i just heard that word directly and perhaps that's a tell. >> maybe somebody in the white house press room will ask, did the president hear it indirectly? we had scott walker, the governor of the great state of wisconsin on just about 45 minutes ago. we asked him about whether he felt that the catastrophe that is the rollout is the fact that this is a president who has never run anything before. here is the governor who has. >> there is a lot of critiques of late that apparently, and

i'll let others comment on the sources on this -- but so much of what's happening in the white house and in the administration is driven by the political team; not the policy team of the as a governor, what we learned and i would say not just me, but other governors, is you got to talk to your policy team first to make sure duke what you're promising. in our state, i hope people know whether you like or hate me, you don't have to wonder if die what i say i'm going to do. that's not happening in this white house. >> you need a chief executive who has been an executive. >> that's interesting from scott walker since a lot of us think he's going to be running. one thing we know is that the president over the last several decades has marinated himself in theory. right? mostly progressive theory, liberal theory. that's fine when you're at overland or columbia or harvard. in the real world, practicality has to matter. common sense has to matter. walker is right. without that understanding, that look, i want every team member in the white house, i want to go around, we're going to do a

session, a due diligence session. i want to understand how this web site is going to work and i want to see that all the troubleshooting that needed to be done has been done. we're going to do this at the white house. we're going to spend this saturday actually doing this instead of spending saturdays doing other things as he's known to do. you have to do that. you have to do that as a chief executive. you can't just take someone's word for it, like mark childress comes in and says well, boss, things are going pretty well. or valerie jarrett. you have to sit down and spend the time. he never did that clearly. >> the no drama obama policy which worked for him in the past caused a loft inefficient cities as we're seeing now. let's talk about the unemployment rate. remember the numbers that came out in isn't of last year that showed unemployment dropping, even though there were so few jobs gained and acquired and the job losses were high. >> just before the election. >> yeah, just before the election. jack welch is one of the people who went with his gut and said, there is something with these numbers, something fishy here. it's amazing what the chicago guy also do to win an election.

it turns out in the "new york post" today that he quotes somebody who came forward and says yeah, i worked for the census. i kind of made up some of these numbers and was told by see request a phone conversation -- i forgot the exact words -- but the quote was, go ahead and fabricate, make up what it was. they go ahead and fabricate and filled out forms as if people acquired jobs. >> i can't wait to hear your take on that. >> what's your thought on that, laura? >> doesn't this remind you of the acorn? remember registering five people to vote for any given election? this is why people have such a low opinion of government today, especially president obama's numbers. people don't believe what they're saying. i remember i was on "fox & friends," i believe with you guys talking about this at the time. all the people on the left were like, you guys are nuts. you guys are conspiracy theorists. they demeaned and dismissed jack welch. he is actually someone who run something, as big as ge and he said like this doesn't make

sense given what i'm seeing out there in the job landscape. these numbers don't make sense. they were actually making reports up. so make individuals up, claiming that individuals -- we don't know how many, but perhaps as many as hundreds of them, which then translates into a skewed jobs report in saying these people had various jobs, a variety of jobs. how long has this been going on? so we have fraud and negligence in the way health care was rolled out. we have fraud or negligence in the way the jobs numbers were reported. what else? what else don't we know that's made up? >> it sounds like the jobs were going back like three years from right now. so can you imagine if we would have had a curious main stream media asking hard questions before the election? things could have been a little different. she's going to go do her radio show on great radio stations across the country. laura ingraham, thank you very much. have a great day. >> great to see you. >> thanks. >> don't be surprised if it emerges the irs is investigating tea party groups.

keep an eye for that. >> just imagine if that would have come out before the election. >> imagine. >> all that stuff. >> without consequence. well, in other news, we have other news. heather nauert, good morning. >> good morning to you. and an update now on a story we brought you earlier today. we've got brand-new details that has just come in. al-qaeda-linked group is claiming responsibility for an explosion that took place at the iranian embassy in lebanon that left 23 people dead, including an iranian diplomat. 150 other people were hurt in this bombing. here is what happened. a homicide bomber detonating two explosives near beirut. one on his body and another in a nearby car. the group claiming responsibility is promising to strike again unless iran drops its support for the syrian president, al assad. we'll keep you posted. back here at home, george zimmerman is waking up in a jail cell this morning. at 1:30 eastern time, this afternoon, he'll be arraigned on assault charges. his girlfriend called 911 claiming that he pointed a

earlier we told you about the controversial new common core curriculum in our schools, forcing many schools to throw away their local standards and let the feds step in with some referred to them as dumbed down standards. many parents don't like it. secretary of education dismissed them, saying they're just, quote, white suburban moms who all of a sudden, their child isn't as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were and that's pretty scary. duncan has since apologized in the last 24 hours, but is it becoming acceptable for liberals to use race and gender as a sword to attack opponents in public policy debates? peter johnson, jr. >> unfortunately it is. on this 150th anniversary of the gettysburg address, when we're thinking about race and division and violence, you see how kind of sick and disturbing it is, it's become acceptable in this country that the notion of a suburban or rural white woman is ignorant, is racist.

their viewpoints should be discredited. their viewpoints should be demonized. their viewpoints should not be given the credit that everyone else should be. unfortunately for many liberals, that's their last refuge in a public policy argument, to resorting to this about soccer moms, a la sarah palin. suburban mom, white suburban moms. >> that is sexist and racist. >> sexist, racist. it appeals to class. it appeals to regional conflict and regional divisions and anxieties. and it's totally wrong of the the white house wouldn't speak out against it. jay carney made believe he didn't know much about it. yesterday we had a half apology from secretary duncan. but it's become part of, unfortunately -- i've been a progressive at times in my life, the liberal meme in this country.

educational process, to call upon a white suburban mom as being the voice of opposition to the common core, which has all kinds of problems, that's wrong and that's fundamentally unamerican. all americans, liberal and conservatives, need to speak out against it. >> no kidding. >> it's wrong. >> peter johnson, jr. >> good to see you, steve. >> what do you think about that? e-mail us. meanwhile, 20 minutes after the top of the hour, he used his bible to swear in at both of his inaugurations and even announced his first campaign for president in lincoln's hometown. why is president obama skipping the 150th anniversary of lincoln's monumental gettysburg address? that is today, by the way. then you've all seen the ads for those as seen on tv products. which ones will make the best holiday gifts for christmas this year? we're testing them out as we're seen on tv this channel. ♪

150 years ago, president lincoln made his gettysburg address. but as americans flocked to southern pennsylvania in commemoration, you won't find president obama joining in that honor. is it inappropriate for our president to bypass the celebration? our next guest argues it's more than fitting. he's "wall street journal"'s own, a columnist, daniel henninger. what do you mean it's fitting? >> well, you know, the thing that lincoln said at the gettysburg address is that they were gathered for what he called unfinished business. the unfinished business was the civil war, liberation of the slaves. i remarked the raising of

president obama was completing the circle of lincoln's unfinished business. but at the same time, that gettysburg address was about unifying the country, the civil war he had fought to bring the country together. barak obama presides over a country that is more intensely politically divided than any of us can remember. it seemed to me that if obama came under those circumstances and spoke about unifying the country, it would not sit well with half the country who so disagrees with him. >> you're forced to speculate because you have not gotten a good answer, nor has anyone about why he isn't there. he has an opening in his schedule, doesn't he? >> he has an opening in his schedule. the ceremony is at 10:00 o'clock this morning. i do not believe he is doing anything. and it is just inconceivable that the president would not have taken the opportunity to talk about a president he so admired on this special day, representing what it does. >> i'm going to read awe passage in it. this nation under god shall have

a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. >> that, i think, is the heart of it, brian. lincoln said a new birth of freedom. i think he was talking about a radical freedom. in lincoln's mind, it was going to be about the freedom for individuals. but throughout the course of his presidency, barak obama, in his speeches, has always spoken about we the people. by that he means we, the federal government. we, washington, tells the people what to do. it seems to me that that is completely at odds with lincoln's idea of what the new birth of freedom represents. >> i actually think you would have to pay him to stay away fundamentally. do you think this has a role in it? do you think the fact that after that address and after the civil war we still weren't a perfect union? we still had to wait for the civil rights act and the integration of schools, brown versus the board of education? >> i think president obama does think the unfinished business

remains unfinished in bringing the country and its races together. but this would have been a unique and valuable opportunity for him to describe how that process could be completed and he's not doing it. >> dan, thanks for speculating with me. appreciate it. you wrote a great column as usual. thanks. coming up straight ahead, think of getting a family pet? try adoption. how to make this i dorrable puppy -- adorable puppy yours. first, let's check in with martha mccallum find out if she's look for a pet. >> i am actually. so coming up today on "america's newsroom," a hearing where new documents are expected to prove that the white house knew that the web site was not ready. so why did the president push forward with it? congress will pursue that question today and we will be watching. stunning new polls show americans may be changing their minds about whether the government should be in the business of health care. bill and i will see you at the top of the hour [ male announcer ] there will be more powerful storms.
