et cetera. what is the issue with hot men in a fun commercial? >> bobby says it is racy and reminds me of miley's award show performance of blurred lines with robin thick. >> it isn't in good taste. >> thanks to everyone who responded. "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it is wednesday, november 20. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with breaking news. while you were sleeping a plane crashed off the coast of florida leaving at least two people dead. a press conference was held moments ago. we have the brand-new details tphoufplt >> brand-new details about the obamacare website. believe it or not, a big part of it still has not yet been built. >> we're probably seeing somewhere at between 60% or 70%. >> that needs to be built? >> we still have to build the payment systems.

>> how is that possible? we're going to tell you what we know. >> please don't ask me that, steve. i don't know. want to know why president bush wasn't scared about getting a heart procedure? >> i wasn't that scared. >> you had obamacare? >> yeah. >> we'll have more for president bush. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> it's "fox & friends." >> listen, the reason we've got a jack hammer in the background because as it turns out we found out yesterday on capitol hill that the obamacare website not done. something like, what, 30, 40, 50% still under construction. >> a work in progress. is it a building? no. it's just your health care. this is actually terrible news actually.

as funny as that beginning was, it's no joke. yesterday few exchanges went down during the hearings and henry chao, the chief information operating officer here spear heading it all, going into the tech being put on the site, supposedly he then is explaining that the site is still under construction. and the exchange occurred between representative corey gardener and henry chao yesterday. listen to. >> never talked about whether it was complete, not complete. >> i think it was a priority function that need to be in place. for example, you have to authenticate an individual. >> how much do we have to build today? 50%? 40%? 30%? >> just an approximation, we're probably sitting somewhere between 60 or 70%? >> 60 or 70% that still

have to be built? >> we still have to build the payment systems to make payments in january. >> you don't have any way to pay for the plan you can't sign up for once you can sign up for? the best news that can possibly happen to you is maybe you won't sign up for obamacare because the site is not secured. to the degree if your personal information was inputted, forget about the plan you might not like your plan, the deductibles might be higher and your premiums might be higher. forget about all that. your personal information could be exposed. that also came out yesterday. it was supposed by greta van susteren yesterday in a scary fact finding mission. a so-called hacker hacked into security systems to see how vulnerable they are. as it turns out, they are really vulnerable. while he was testifying on capitol hill yesterday, he got a message from a fellow hacker that apparently there were a whole bunch of other ways to get into the

federal system he hadn't even explained to the committee. here's mr. kennedy. >> knowing the security around the infrastructure, how it was rushed out the door and the exposures we're seeing now, i got an e-mail in the middle of a congressional hearing to say i got another 30 vulnerabilities on the website -- >> while you're in the hearing? >> while i'm in the hearing. it's like, okay we're not doing hacking, just looking at an outside view and we can see all these exposures. it's pretty bad. >> 16 separate times they have been hacked through. >> that they know of. they may not even know more have been hacked. he went on to say, and i felt so defeated after seeing this, you know your security information clearly is not a priority if that doesn't fall into the percentage of the site they have actually completed. apparently given this information we're finding out, not only is your personal information at

risk according to this gentleman who is an expert on hacking, but he goes on to say that government agencies are at risk for being hacked into because all of these agencies are connected. so if they can get their hands on the hub and figure out how everyone's information is connected, what do they have connection to? i.r.s.? department of homeland security. how is this possible? >> because they didn't test it. the guy at the top, as we found out yesterday from jay carney, he knew six months before it launched -- i'm talking about the president -- that there wereorts of problems. the buck stops there. he made the determination to go ahead. what's interesting is it was revealed in the hearing yesterday that if you go on on-line there is a little search box. he put a semicolon in there and it revealed hackers had been in there. the average website in this country gets hacked 30 to

40,000 a week. going back to the other point with the congressman and mr. chao, it sounded like he said 60 to 70% of the website, the back end was not finished, the part where you pay. you've got to pay before december 15 or you're not signed up. so if you can't pay, you're not signed up. so is anybody at this point officially signed up to obamacare? maybe not. >> true steve. it goes to show you the next thing that's going to come forward is the mandate that individuals have to sign up or get fined. november 30, no one is acknowledging and no one is saying we're going to get anything done by november 30. the president put that date out there. no one forced him to say november 30 is the second date after october 1. now all that has come and gone. here's the other good news. elisabeth, you might not be able to get insurance. steve, you can't get insurance. but a colorado man got his

yorkie insured. baxter got insurance for him. in human years baxter got insurance at the age of 96. >> he would not qualify under the insurance act. he would qualify at the age of 65. in dog years he would qualify for meta dog. >> one of the security questions was what was your first dog or what is your dog's name? it turns out that got screwed out. it came out as congratulations baxter, you got insurance. baxter first broke on to the scene as anchor man. he was the dog who was punted over the bridge. >> anchor man 2 is coming out shortly. in the meantime president george w. bush -- >> he survived, by the way. baxter came back.

>> yes. president george w. bush was out in burbank yesterday, studio 1, the home of the jay leno "tonight" show. there he is, our 43rd president. >> looking fit. >> they had a pretty good time. they are pretty good friends, i understand. here's some give-and-take. >> when the president had that heart scare, how scary was that? >> it was scary. very scary. >> yeah. >> i wasn't that scared. >> you had obamacare? >> yeah. >> that was ugly. >> it turns out that was a pretty serious situation. he got a stress test. he didn't do too well even though he's in great shape and got it looked at. i think that is the real story. that is why he didn't play golf that day when we went out and had a chance to play. he was like can't do that yet. he had to wait another month. >> you're indicating that was really happening because you were there to

talk. he had to draw the line. >> we just had breakfast. so i was pretty good at breakfast. >> you know what's interesting? that was a funny moment, the back and forth. the president actually offered some advice about getting through these tough moments to our current president obama. listen. >> as president, how do you handle those tough moments when even a decision -- >> you have to believe in what you're doing first and foremost. i relied upon my faith. my family helped a lot and had a good team around me and did the best i could do. i'm also very comfortable with the fact that it's going to take awhile for history to judgment whether the decisions i made are consequential or not. therefore, i'm not too worried about it. i read some biographies of washington. my attitude if they're still writing biographies of the first guy, the 43rd guy doesn't have to

worry about it. >> he's talking about washington's secret -- >> i know. i skwr did the math. -- i just did the math. turns out i can't add. >> it would be 64. i'm going with six years for every human year. >> check it out on the dog app. >> one of the nice things about george w. bush, he followed his father's lead. as president, once he retired as president, he doesn't get out there like bill clinton does, like jimmy carter does and inject themselves in every darned situation. it's nice he's given the new guy his room. >> he did say build the damned thing when it came to the x.l. pipeline over the weekend. >> he did. we have breaks news. heather nauert is here. >> i miss how funny he was, president bush. great to hear. we do have serious news to bring you this morning. at this hour there is an

active and massive search underway for two passengers who were on board a medical transport jet after it crashed last night off the coast of ft. lauderdale, florida. two others have been confirmed dead. moments ago authorities holding a press conference. listen to this. >> we are stressing this is still an ongoing search and rescue case. rescuers have been on scene overnight and continuing to search for survivors in the water. >> the private jet took off from ft. lauderdale own its way back to mexico when it plunged into the ocean. two pilots, a doctor and a nurse were on that flight. we'll keep watching this story for you. florida congressman trey radel is in court today facing drug charges accused of buying cocaine from an undercover agent. radel releasing this statement saying, quote, believe me i'm disappointed in myself and ready to face

it doesn't work. >> we're doing our best. we've got a graphic to show folks right now in this country about half are in some sort of entitlement, so we're doing our best to catch up to europe. >> you are. actually we're now putting the brakes on and we're kind of glancing in our rear view mirror and who do we see hurtling to overtake us because welfare claims are being tackled. we increase the amount of money you can earn without paying taxes but it's made a huge impacts. unemployment is tumbling in the u.k. because people are taking jobs that previously the tax system disincentivized. >> if indeed we are headed down this path, you know that prevention is better than a cure, how can we do that at this point? >> i think particularly on the obamacare, that phrase really applies big time prevention is better than a cure. you will find if you go down this road you switch

the incentive and people start becoming dependent on the new status quo whether they are physicians, administrators, even users of the end product. this is the one thing we found you can't make a fundamental change to a state run health care system. it becomes politically impossible. don't do it at all or accept it is going to happen. >> you look at the history of english speaking people. why is it important to look back at where we are today and the credit that english speaking people deserve? >> most of the things we regard in the world as modern from regular elections to the rule of law, equality between men and women, jury trial these are not natural conditions of an advanced society. they were overwhelmingly developed in the language we are now talking. we are as a unique tradition, a sublimb tradition. >> before the election in

what do these books have in common with the bible? they're all fiction books? a pastor snapped this picture when he discovered stickers labeling the bible as fiction at a costco in california. he is joining us now. good morning, pastor, how are you? you take this picture. you're walking through costco and see the bible labeled as fiction. what happened next? >> i was buying a present for my wife, and i was on my way out, and i looked at the bible and i saw it was labeled fiction and i checked all the other bibles and they were labeled fiction. i tried to find somebody and i couldn't so i took a picture because i'm a social media guy, put it on my facebook and twitter. a lot of people commented on it. >> were you shocked about the response when you saw it? there were a ton of comments. >> i was surprised that they would label it as fiction, but the response has been interesting because you've had some people who are ultra

fundamental christian who say we need to boycott costco. and i don't think that's the answer. then you have some people who were offended and they were like, hey, that's my faith right there, it's not fiction. then you had other people passionately against the bible and they say it is fiction. good for costco. >> the ultimate consumer will check on price and see the price as marked. you did that and called costco and got a nice woman on the phone and they released this statement. costco is disturbed. we take responsibility and should have caught the mistake. we are correcting this for future distribution. in addition we are immediately relabeling the bibles and greatly apologize for this error. i would ask is that enough? a good i'm sorry. >> it probably was a mistake. i have no idea.

a couple things. one, i think christians in america need to stand up for their faith. we're not persecuted like our brothers and sisters in the middle eastern countries, north korea or other places but we do need to be vocal about our faith. it shows how polarizing and jesus are. when it comes down to the bible you either believe it is true or not true. no shades of gray. when it comes to jesus you believe who he says it is or you believe he is not who he says he is. that is what i think the real issue is about. >> did you end up getting your wife the present and what was it? >> i got my wife a jacket. i figured out that i wasn't communicating with her in her love language very well, so i went over to costco to try to correct that and i had no idea that all this would happen. >> i know the love language, that is a whole other segment. i'm on you when it comes to that. thank you for being with us. certainly an interesting story.

people. the videos are hard to watch. what they do, this emerging trend, basically has teens targeting passersby at random, trying to lead them out with one punch. they call it, the one hitter quitter. >> the whole idea is a lot of kids tape it and put it on youtube. we're showing surveillance video. this is in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. there was a guy killed this way in st. louis. the teenager who did that is, has been sentenced to 55 years in prison. they're trying to be cute, trying to be tough, trying to make sure they get the person down in one slug. it's not just guys they're hitting. they're hitting women. i think it was here in the new york city area where they hit a woman on a bike and she said that when the guy came up to me, she turned over and he went -- he said the word kapow! >> you got a 15-year-old charged with assault, the pittsburgh one.

the person killed was in hoboken, new jersey. that was a 46-year-old hit by a teenager. and then three were arrested when 13 and 14-year olds were caught on video trying to nail somebody in the back of the head. you immediately go down. the punches you don't see are the ones that do the most damage and that's the game. >> certainly this is a trend unfortunately that's taking lives. we have been watching the footage. >> especially in new york. >> here in new york there was an incident in crown heights, that neighborhood where they don't know if it was a knockout or an antisemitic crime. what they're trying to do is trying to look at that. just add this to the list of -- >> dumb things teenagers do. >> nothing better to do. let's go out and see how many people we can surprise. knock them down with one hit. >> and taking lives. >> peter johnson jr. has a great commentary about this in the 8:00 hour right here on "fox & friends." >> why don't they learn to

that? is your pilot too fat to fly? the f.a.a. is putting new restrictions on overweight pilots and air traffic controllers. under these new rules anyone with a body mass index of 40 or more or who has a neck larger than 17 inches must be evaluated by a sleep specialist and then treated for sleep apnea before they're able to go back to work. authorities say weight can be linked to sleep problems and that could affect passenger safety. the plan comes five years after two pilots fell asleep on a go airline flight and they overshot the airport landing strip before they woke up and then eventually landed safely. we all know this guy. toronto's crack-smoking mayor rob ford. he has a new reality show but apparently that has just been canceled. after one episode. oh boy. according to the sun news network in canada, the debut of ford nation had 100,000 viewers but it was

for a year. it is an absurd fix. it didn't fix his promise. i think he used the word you can keep it, period. keep it period is not one year. keep it period means as long as you want it. he didn't fix his promise nor did he fix the underlying insurance problem because the one-year death sentence on an insurance policy, that guarantees that insurers and customers are going to go after each other as hard as they can. we all know people who brag about screwing their insurance company and we all know people who get that bad treatment from an insurance company. with a one-year divorce all bets are off after that. it is not workable. >> did the president effectively in your mind shift the burden on to insurers. he said a week ago my bad, insurance companies you have my permission now to reinstate. is all the pressure on the insurance companies to contact their canceled customers and say let's work out a deal? >> that was clearly, brian, what he wanted to do.

whether he was effective, i guess we'll have to see how things play out. i think his credibility took such a hit here. i don't think it will be effective. i think the good news in all of this train wreck is that people are understanding a little bit more about what the foundation of insurance is and how it works. and that's what i tried to get across in the article with a lot of humor and analogy, was just show how this whole notion of obamacare was a train wreck from day one and how this fix doesn't fix anything. the train is still going to wreck. >> do you believe what zeke emanuel is saying is effective that insurers want out of the market? >> that is different from the government saying you've got to get out of 20 million policies. >> thanks so much for joining us. coming up straight ahead,

luxury car, about $50,000. >> for a kia? >> it will go on sale the first quarter. they think they can play in the big boy game. i don't know whether or not they will be successful. i think for the viewers if you haven't been to a kia dealer, you'll be surprised at what they have. finally issue elisabeth, i know you had your eye on the new jag. so the new jaguar f type is out. you know, i know. super sports car. 550 horsepower. what's notable is you push a button inside, you change the tone of the exhaust. you can create the exhaust by push control. so you get whoa, whoa, or really quiet. >> fantastic. doug browner up at 3:56 in the morning at l.a. showing us some of the new cars. thank you very much. >> love the wheels. thanks. straight ahead, he promised america's youth hope and change of the but instead, they got what? >> haven't done anything, obama,

good morning. it's wednesday, november 20. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. a search underway at this hour after a jet crashes off the coast of florida, killing two. two others still missing. the breaking details ahead. the obamacare web site about to miss its november 30th deadline. what's the president's excuse? roll the tape. >> i think that we probably underestimated the complexities of building out a web site that needed to work the way it should. >> i think he's being a little hard on himself. >> parents shelling out ten grand to have someone else write their kid's college essays. brian kilmeade. >> i did not!

plus, he's a better writer than i am. my son, of course. >> how much lower will parents go? look, they're desperate to get their kids into college. we got a great segment on this coming up straight ahead. "fox & friends" hour two for wednesday coming up. >> oh, oh, it's "fox & friends"! oh, mike, mike, mike, mike. >> it's wednesday. >> that's right. >> it's hump day. >> everybody knows now. everybody has seen the commercial. >> right. absolutely. >> happier than a camel on hump day. >> one minute after the top of the hour. it seemed like one minute ago it was 7 a.m. >> seems like a long time of the web site for obamacare still being built. >> yeah. >> apparently it's not complete. >> for some reason, kathleen sebelius and the president of the united states made their second deadline by november 30th. the second they said that, i thought, wait. the guy you brought in to fix it

says it's worse than we thought! why would you pick out an arbitrary date right after thanksgiving and say, that's when it will be fixed? now nobody thinks that date is going to mean anything. >> it would be optimal. >> right. >> i remember them saying optimal function by the end of november. >> and keep in mind, you got to be signed up by the end of the year. so they figured, we should give people at least a one month opportunity. but now kathleen sebelius says the end of this month, not a deadline. quote, the 30th of november is not a magic go, no-go date. it is a work of constant improvement. what's interesting is she was down in florida yesterday. she was speaking at florida tech college in orlando and it's kind of sad because there she was talking about how it's working. we've had a few problems. she's walking amongst some people in computers, navigators trying to sign things up and the associated press noticed that the computers were displaying error messages.

no, you can't sign up onto the site. but then again, the president himself says look, it's very complex. maybe he himself underestimated how tough it was. >> i think that we probably underestimated the complexities of building out a web site that needed to work the way it should. there is a larger problem that i probably speak personally, but also as the administration, could have identified earlier and that is the way the federal government does procurement and does i.t. is generally not very efficient. >> how unbelievable is that statement? where do you go with that statement? why would you even propose having the government play such a dominant role in health care if your sincere objective was to make it better, more affordable and more efficient? if that's the statement in your conclusion, you should call

1-800-mitch mcconnell or john boehner and say you got a point. maybe we shouldn't have done this massive health care plan. >> right now the problem that he's addressing is indeed the web site. so why the web site and that programming isn't intact, why there is still up to 30% of the actual infrastructure of the web to be constructed when, in fact, what happens, we're all asking -- and there are millions of people asking -- when our health information, security information is in there in the hands of an administration that is unable to -- said by the president -- not handle the complexities of this technological issue. >> what are we going to do? if you are running a business and somebody comes to you six months out and says, you know what? this thing that we want to launch on october 1 is not going to work. if you had business experience, if you had executive experience, you probably say, you know what? maybe we ought to put it off. but given the fact that the

president has no executive experience, aside from running a campaign, he said go ahead. let's go with it. we've heard apparently a number of people in the administration were completely up to speed, according to mckinzie and company, the very prominent consulting firm that it simply want working. so you can understand when the president wanted to tout his signature legislation where he would look he is did separately for a success story. he found the story of jessica sanford, a woman in washington state who had written him a fan letter essentially and said that this affordable care act, she was able to sign on of the she was so happy, she cried tears. the president, october 21, then we're going to tell you what happened to this poor woman. >> i recently received a letter from a woman named jessica sanford in washington state. shear what she wrote. i am a single mom.

no child support, self-employed, and i haven't had insurance for 15 years because it's too expensive. now finally we get to have coverage because of the aca for $169 per month. i was crying the other day when i signed up, so much stress lifted. now that is not untypical for a lot of folks like jessica who have been struggling without health insurance. that's what the affordable care act is all about. >> but it's not true. >> look what she posted on facebook. >> she said, quote, they have to own up to what is going on. they have to fix it. they can't just go around and say this is work great. in my opinion, they ought to shut it down and just get all of it straightened out. >> and why? because this woman, cited by president obama himself, has been priced out and will not be able to afford the plans that

were offered to us. she says, i get to pay $95 and not having health insurance. i'm so incredibly disaimportanted and saddened. this is a major league screwup. >> what happened apparently was her state exchange, they put into the federal database, they put in just one month's worth of income. the feds thought oh, she only makes 4100 a year. she gets this big tax break. as it turns out, every single one of the claims processed by the state of washington was wrong right through much of october. and brian, to your point, absolutely right. she's so disappointed, now she's been told she's not going to get that big tax subsidy or able to afford the insurance for her and her son and she's just going to pay the penalty of $95 a year. >> which will increase significantly every year going forward. >> yeah. >> jay carney got that question. he says my understanding is --

it was another network. >> it was a donnel. >> my understanding is the washington state officials are reaching out to miss sanford to make sure she has accurate information about her option. she, by the way, does not blame president obama for this. >> no, she does not. so apparently every application the state did before october 23rd, everybody got a low rate. that was a wrong rate. they're all going to have to go back. the point is, this was one of the success stories and now this woman is going to pay the fine, which really is a tax, because she can not afford obamacare. >> it's not president obama's fault. it's got to be bush's. meanwhile, heather nauert has been preparing to give us the news that was breaking overnight. >> it's also brian's fault. >> right. i will take credit. something spills, my problem. >> we got new information on a story we told you about a while ago. a plane went down last night in florida and at this hour, there is a massive search underway for two passengers who were on board a medical transport jet that

crashed off the coast of fort lauderdale. two others have been confirmed dead. just two hours ago, authorities there holding a press conference. listen to what they had to say. >> right now we're continuing our search efforts with surface assets and aviation assets. we'll continue those until mid-morning. we'll switch out crews and we'll definitely go throughout the day and reassess the evening. >> the private jet took off after it dropped off a patient in broward county. the plane was on its way back to mexico when it plunged into the ocean. two pilots, a doctor, and a nurse were on board that plane. the pilot made a may day call moments after taking off. we'll keep watching that story. florida congressman treyradoll facing drug charges. he's accused of buying cocaine from an undercover agent. he released this statement saying, quote, believe me, i'm disappointed in myself and i stand ready to face the consequences of my actions. the misdemeanor charge carries a

maximum of six months in prison and $1,000 fine. virginia state senator recovering this morning after he was stabbed by his own son of the his 24-year-old son attacked his father during a fight. he stabbed him in the head and the chest. >> he was able to leave on foot. as he was coming down the hill of his residents toward route 42, he encountered a cousin nearby. he drove him to his residence where rescue responded to that residence and attended to the senator. >> his son, austin, who also goes by gus, then shot and killed himself. sources close to the family say that he had a behavioral disorder. president george w. bush providing laughs on the "tonight show." here is jay leno asking if the president enjoys being out of the spotlight. >> president obama is kind of getting all the late night jokes

now. >> better him than me. >> are you glad you aren't president now? >> yes, i am. eight years is plenty. >> well, former first lady laura bush also showing up. you have more clips of that. looks like they're having fun in their retirement years. >> the president 43 just changed the facebook page without anybody's permission. i apologize. i wanted to -- we put up president bush's picture. steve, i don't know if you updated it. i almost missed the cold open. do you see my question up there? >> no. >> hit refresh. >> i see you have to believe in what you're doing. i relied upon my faith is what 43 said on the "tonight show" last night. so far it's got close to 3200 likes. >> right. >> president bush was on leno last night, was asked -- that's

old. you should update that. >> i updated. it's up to you to follow. >> what are we? healthcare.gov. >> i said this, president bush had 49% approval rating. will history have that number go up or down. i want you to weigh in on facebook and whoever is not on television will be up talking to you. >> meanwhile, if you missed the jay leno show last night, if you had to get up early, here is another amusing prelude with the president and the host. >> when the president had that heart scare, how scary was that? >> it was scary. very scary. >> i wasn't as scared. >> you had obamacare? >> funny stuff. >> he always took his job and responsibility so seriously, but never himself. >> dana perino talks about how he embraced the idea of making a decision.

he thought it was his responsibility to make a decision. he got great people around him who made decisions and moved on. i sense by reading the books about president obama, he does not have the same philosophy. and i think that president obama is somebody that doesn't relish that, where i think president bush did. >> there you go. >> right or wrong. >> it is now 13 minutes after the top of the hour. be sure to sign on to our facebook page and like that, if you would. in the meantime, it's 13 minutes after the hour. >> that's right. so we told but the census bureau possibly cooking the books to lower the unemployment rate before last year's election. today we could be one step closer to the truth. those details up next. >> i can't believe that story is moving fast. then from smoking crack to taking down a council woman, is toronto's mayor normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow says he's normal! ♪ ♪ [ fishing rod casting line, marching band playing ]

welcome back. we told you about the census bureau possibly cook the books to lower the unemployment rate before last year's election. today the investigation begins. elizabeth prann is live in washington with the latest. good morning, elizabeth. >> good morning. you're right. a house committee has vowed to get to the bottom of reports a census bureau employee filled in unemployment surveys during the presidential race. the jobless report in september of 2012, the last one before the election, was 8.1%. it dropped to 7.8, which is obviously a substantial amount. the "new york post" interviewing at least one staff member who says he was instructed to fill in survey answers when people didn't pick up their phone or answer doors. just two years prior, the agency did catch an employee tampering

with unemployment reports. house oversight committee chairman darrell issa says if the bureau misled the american people, it could have a ripple effect. >> all of that has a real effect. even, quite frankly, that jobs number certainly led to wall street making a different forecast. so we have to get to the truth. we have to make sure that this allegation is true and if it is true, then we have serious cleaning up to do at the census bureau at minimum. >> he also responded to white house spokesman jay carney. he said while carney says the reports are false, it's carney who will be wrong in the end. >> that story is obviously misleading. i think a lot of people shed a lot of credibility engaging in conspiracy theories last fall without, you know, rigged jobs numbers. i have to tell you as somebody who has been here for a long time, when month after month the jobs numbers came in and were

revised upward, didn't feel like they were helping to us. >> it says the agency has no reason to believe there was systemic manipulation, but the office of the inspector general has been notified of the claims. we'll see. back to you guys. >> all right. thank you very much. so it wasn't systemic. hey, that sounds just like the irs, didn't it? >> very similar. we'll find out. darrell issa is at it again. should be an interesting give and take. >> 7:19 here in new york city. how far would you go to get your kid into college? coming up, a former admissions officer spilling the dirty secrets like parents shelling out $10,000 to have somebody else write their very important children's college essays. >> how did peter get into villanova? >> and it's a picture we first showed you yesterday. a young boy saluting to be just like his dad. dad, son and mom, guess what? they are here live. >> reporting for duty. ♪ ♪ ya know, with new fedex one rate

of the kids? >> i wanted to listen to the young people and they're their own voice, what they loved, what they were passionate about, what they wanted to study, what they wanted to do. when i was able to help them hear that, not what their parents wanted for them, no one else, themselves and write about that well, colleges took note. more often than not, they got in. >> should we do early action, meaning give us an answer, are you going to get me in the school or not, or early decision? do you recommend either one? >> if you know where you want to go, if there is a compelling reason for you to commit to one school, sure. but if you don't have those privileges and all that lined up, give yourself some time. >> early action leads you know at least i got into one school. >> it's nice to have early action in your pocket. some kids will be finding out in the next week they've got that. >> that's why it's so intense for high school kids and even if you're a junior, this is what you'll be looking at next year. a former private counselor talks about the down and dirty business of getting into

else? >> all of your inknow to a system that has essentially -- priority coding was done first, but what's the priority? what about security? that should be the first priority. >> i'm sure we're overstating it, as i heard earlier that the whole worry about security, what's the big issue about getting hacked in? i haven't heard anybody being hacked in. what's the big deal if everyone finds out i have a club foot. >> actually they had a number of hackers and security experts on capitol hill yesterday and when somebody said -- the government is acknowledging people have been able to hack in. can you give us details? well, we'd have to close the door and throw out the press. david kennedy is so-called white hat hacker. he helps companies figure out the vulnerabilities. he went on-line on the web site and just typed in a semi colon and showed how hackers were able to get in, by putting in a semi colon. you could do the same thing at

information out there. what hackers would love to do is get to that hub, see how all that information is transferred, and put their claws into that and it is extremely -- >> congressman rogers, the chairman of the homeland security, he's an f.b.i. guy focusing on cyber warfare says the only way to get this done is redo it. john mcafee who invented the security system, he says this is a total mess. you have to rebuild the whole thing. the patch system will never provide the security. >> in fact, yesterday three of the four experts said you got to take it down to fix it. what's interesting is not only can they steal your stuff, but they were talking yesterday about how the hackers are able to go in and if you're at a computer right now, you know the little camera at the top? they can turn on the web cam. they can turn on the microphone. they can watch you. they can listen to you. they can steal all of the passwords in your computers. so you might think you're trying to sign up for healthcare. next thing you know, your identity has completely been

>> brian, you know, what we're looking at right now is a colossal mess-up. no two ways about it. the states that ran their own exchanges, the states that basically took control of their own exchanges, i'm understanding have done much better and outperformed the federal government ten to one. so with that being said, you just got to -- we don't want to go back to what we had, which is basically one of the highest cost delivery systems in the world and lowest cost deliveries in wellness. so in west virginia, i don't want to tell people you're one illness away from bankruptcy, your child can't get covered because they had a defect, your grandmother who had cancer now can't buy insurance. we can do better than this. but we've got to work together. democrats and republicans becoming americans. >> you know with a? senator, you were chief executive for west virginia. you run something before. this president, you know, he had the chance given the fact that we now know he knew ahead of time that it was all screwed up.

i think a lot of executives would have said, let's put this off. but barak obama said no. let's go. that was a mistake now, wasn't it? >> here is two pieces of legislation on par that first of all he said if you have it, you can keep t. i'm taking the president at his word and the american people should, too. if he misspoke, then he misspoke, but he's got to fulfill that promise. myself and mary landrieu said if you had insurance when the law went into effect, you can keep it. now, if the market changes and you're shopping and you see better product and we're the best shop increase the world and you're going to say oh, my goodness, i'm in west virginia, i can buy something better than i had and i know what i have is inferior, that's fine. and the other thing, there should be a transitional year. it takes time for this. but basically there should be no crime and no fine. the transitional year should be this year here, shop it, get the product right. get the markets right and basically get the rollout right. >> senator, good morning. i guess one concern americans would have is that all these deadlines keep getting missed.

so the initial deadline missed, november 30th looks like it could be a miss. to even set those goal posts back a year seem something that many americans may not even trust. insurance companies may not trust. where are we in one year? if that is met with failure again? >> we do have a trust problem. there is mo doubt about it. you see the rankings of congress. we're all guilty just being here, whether you're guilty or not. guilt through association. the -- we just got to work better. we've got to put our country first and this is what bothers me more than anything here. i'm a proud west virginia democrat and i've got a lot of great friends who are proud west virginia republicans and i have not met someone up here i didn't like. we got to put our country first. we need a better health care system. let's try. we as democrats and republicans, we need to read the preexisting condition that you should be able to buy insurance. you shouldn't be capped out. why can't we come to agreement

on those and the things we agree on, let's do. >> sure. but you're talking about redoing the plan. you and senator kirk, a republican, the only piece of bipartisan legislation that we can see that's out there that you are presenting, that you want people to get together. the way i hear it and the way i read it on-line, you're almost saying over the next year, let's come up with a new plan that looks like a hybrid of what we had and what we want and doesn't look anything like what obamacare is. >> let's say this: we have certain criterias to meet. the government has decided and the people who voted for the plan decided this was the minimum of coverage that you had to sell throughout america. a lot of people bought other plans that didn't have quite that coverage. okay? right, wrong or indifferent, at least they made an effort to have something. we've got to encourage them to buy a better plan to be healthier, wellness, preventive care, all these things. we're not encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit or the shoppers in us.

i'm saying we've got a product problem. the rollout problem, that's technical. you can fix that, brian. but if you don't have a product to sell me, if you don't make me want to buy something, i'm a good shopper. i'll look for value. i can make a decision. i always have made a good decision, i think. give me that opportunity. don't take for granted i can't make a decision. >> senator, you're right, they should be working together. of course, this thing got passed with zero republicans. but why is it that aside from you, the only other democrats who are talking about fixing this -- i mean, it seems like a lot of members of your party are in denial are the ones who are going to be in tough elections next year? >> i can't speak for my colleagues. i really can't. mary landrieu and i have said this, the promise has been made. if you have it, keep it. you can keep it in perpetuity. i said we have to move forward. fred is easy to work with. we can come to an agreement.

mary and i stood fast where we want to be. mark kirk and i have said, listen, this is a transition year. am don't threaten me with a crime or a fine when you don't have your act together. it will take this transitional year. there is nothing wrong with that. >> senator, we're out of time. but here is the problem, the senate is not going to look at upton's bill and the president doesn't like what you always presents. he's not going to talk to you. that's the problem. the disconnect. i wish we had another ten minutes. but we really appreciate your effort. you're always pushing the ball forward and sharing it with us. thank you. >> thank you. >> 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, the government launching a web site to teach you how to eat healthy this thanksgiving. really? who is paying for that? by the way, who is putting that web site together? >> i'm not sure. maria molina does more than just the weather. the must have toys for the holidays right after the break. is that her? >> that is maria.

>> i think i know what i want tore christmas. >> how much fun is that? rties i: 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... i wouldn't underestimate the house's ability to pass the immigration bill... 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.

coming up as we head into tomorrow. we have very frigid air from can did that's going to start moving southward and dropping our temperatures. temperatures are going to be ten to even 20 degrees below what is average for many of you. high temperatures today, in texas, not bad, reaching the 70s as we head into the afternoon. in the 50s for kansas city. and again, 40s across parts of the great lake, like in chicago. we do have a storm system out west that is producing some areas of rain along the lower elevations. this is good news for california. you really need the rain. otherwise several inches of snow in the mountains and a little rain forecast across parts of the midwest. let's head over to brian. >> thanks a lot. get inside. it's too cold out there for you. not that often that you get to see the big guys score in football. i'm talking about linemen. when kent state took on ohio, that's what happened off this fake punt. third quarter, kent state up and then this miraculous run. i love the hurdle.

couple of weeks, according to commissioner ray kelly. the police commissioner here in new york city. >> why did he call it polar bear hunting? >> allegedly they're targeting people, bears, who happen to be the color white. >> so there is a racial component? >> let me say this? >> there may be? >> the victims appear to have been all white and the assailants appear to have been all black. and so the main stream media has not been discussing this at all. greta van susteren took it on a couple of nights ago and there have been five deaths since 2011. we've seen this in 14 different states, plus washington, d.c this is a sucker punch gone wild in which people fall to the ground and very often strike their head and die as a result of it with one punch to the back of the head or to the jaw. usually gangs of kids who do

this as a thrill event and, unfortunately, very often a thrill kill. >> and the object is to do it in one hit, get the person down with one hit and they're not just targeting men. i read there was a woman somewhere riding a bike. some guy comes out of nowhere, boom! >> we've seen video of a woman. it's terrifying. she just goes down. it's worst than heavyweight fight. we know over time in the lowest socioeconomic areas in the united states, boxing, physical activity has been kind of a way out. but now we're seeing this kind of cowardly, vicious, dastardly attack on people out of the blue, knocking older people, women, younger people, people of all kinds to the ground, sometimes to their death. >> i read somewhere, one guy was killed, murder essentially. the teen-ager got 55 years.

so clearly it's assault. it could be murder. it could be a hate crime. >> what could this be other than a hate crime? in some instances it's been charged as a hate crime. in other instances, it has not. a hate crime usually requires some utterance or motivation that's been expressed to someone else. but what could be the basis for this thing going forward? clearly all americans, especially religious leaders, need to speak out in a way, and community leaders, white and black and all people to say listen, young fellows, if you don't understand the consequences of this, let me tell you the consequences. a, you're going to kill someone. b, you're either going to go to prison for life or suffer the death penalty as a result of doing this. people need to know about this, whether this is racial or it's not racial, it's dangerous to americans. unfortunately, it's on the rise

and we're seeing it here in new york city. >> despite what they call it, it is not a game. peter johnson, jr., thank you. >> most deadly game. >> no kidding. just awful. thank you, sir. coming up from the mike douglas show to the gong show, to candid camera, did you know the woman who wrote for all those shows is dyslexic? fanny flag is here with her incredible life story and is coming up. right now, let's go up to the 12th floor of this sky scraper. martha mccallum is getting ready for her big show. >> good morning. so here is question today. was a critical jobs report right before the election juiced to help the president win? that is the charge. steve hayes will weigh in on that and senator marco rubio will join us this morning on the little known deal that insurance companies got in obamacare. wait 'til you hear this. before we leave afghanistan, should we apologize? all that at the top of the hour. bill and i will see you then.

but i finally wrote a little short story and got it to a publisher and the publisher said to me, he said, you don't have to spell. we have editors. oh, okay. >> that's great. >> i love that story. >> thank you. >> this new novel is fantastic. you had a great editor, but you're a great writer. can you stick around? >> i'd love to. >> more with her in just a minute as we roll on live from new york city clients are always learning more to make their money do more.
