facebook post from a neighbor who said an animal rescue group found the little guy in the rubble of an apartment complex and they lured him out with a hot dog. he was malnourished and he's doing great. ed, great to have you here today. >> soldiering on through this sickness. you're awesome. have a great day, everybody. >> i was going to say, two of my favorite people in the world sitting on that set. good to see you guys. happy holidays. >> great to see you. i'm harris in today for shepard smith. the race to fix the obama care website with the deadline quickly approaching. we'll see where things exactly stand. of course, it is black friday. if you're getting ready to get some gifts, you better be careful. we'll hear from a security professional about the biggest shopping scams of the season. it's the tollest mountain in the western hemisphere. plenty of people have died trying to climb this. however, one 9-year-old little boy says he's ready to reach the summit. can't wait to ask him about it,

live when he joins us. we're now only hours away from the moment of truth, for the website that was supposed to connect millions of americans with better and cheaper health care. it is the deadline, the obama administration has set for itself to fix the troubled website. president obama said by tomorrow the vast majority of people visiting healthcare.gov would have no problem logging on. even with tech experts working around the clock, some users are experiencing technical difficulties. administration officials have been warning all along, even with the president's warning approaching, the website will not be ideal. they say during peak usage times, people may not be able to get on. wendell with the story at the white house. is it a successful fix if you can't get on? >> reporter: well, the goal is a situation where 80% of the people can log on at any one time and trying to build virtual

waiting rooms for the remainder so you can do other stuff and your computer will alert you when enrollment facilities are available. but if 80% of people can log on, that means 20% have failed. that's not acceptable, republicans say 20% failure rate not acceptable in private industry. california congressman darrell issa says the folks are setting the bar pretty low. >> i don't think there's any question that the administration, which promised to complete a marathon in essentially 60 days, going from a failed website to a successful one, will now simply define success as going 50 feet or 100 feet on that multi-marathon. >> reporter: issa and conley are reforming information to the way the federal government buys technology. they say the federal government pays too much and gets less than the private sector. >> one campaign for the went site has been, well, we don't want too many people trying get

on all along. it's a campaign for the next time it rolls out. are they trying to keep enrollment down? >> reporter: well, in fact, they are. they've asked some democrat-leaning groups that had planned major campaigns, advertising campaigns, door to door, if you will, to push people to do online enrollment for healthcare.gov. they asked them to cancel those plans, or at least delay them. so that they don't strain the system that right now can only handle about 50,000 people at a time. ultimately, they've got to get millions of people, especially young, healthy people to sign up for healthcare.gov, to keep the premiums reasonable. but this now means there's going to be a shorter period of time in which to do that. so, they are still pushing people to sign up, just not as hard. here's an online ad that began airing recently. >> wow. fixing that could cost you big. but not if you have health plan from the new health insurance marketplace. it's where you can compare plans from companies side by side and

the only place to get lower monthly payments. >> reporter: meanwhile, the president says the website's improvements will continue after this weekend as deadline. can you still enroll in person or on the telephone. >> the paid actor was able to get on. wendell, thank you very much. we've heard about the millions of americans who found out their insurance companies are canceled -- or their policies through those companies have been canceled. fallout from the obama care rules and guidelines put on them. but some people who get insurance from their employers are also losing their health care coverage. insurance brokers say that's because under obama care some small businesses will have to pay more to cover their workers. in some cases, the business owners say they just can't afford to do that. dominick has the news live for us from our l.a. news room. what exactly is happening? >> they are getting whacked, big time, at least one company in phoenix, arizona, told us. they are among the first small companies to be belted by the

affordable care act. don orthodontics, one of many small businesses we're hearing from with less than 50 employees, who offer their staff health care plans even though they're not obligated to do so. they were hoping to provide their 13 employees with the same policy that it has for years, but that plan got tossed out for not being obama care xlipt. >> we wanted to pick up the aca compliant plan with our same carrier. it was going to be 60% more expensive. it was just something that completely floored us. didn't expect it at all. it had been a really good plan for us and all of our employees. so, it was just stunning. >> they are trying to work it out with their broker now, but their options so far includes an hmo with a smaller selection of doctors and, frankly, they feel cheated by that. >> yeah. i would imagine the employees do, too, because now they're having to wonder, do we go out and get our own health care?

if we do, how much will that cost? what are their options? >> precisely. they're waiting on guidance from their bosses. there's a ton of questions they have. >> do i need to have this insurance go into place before the end of the year ormy able to wait until after the first of the year? >> end of the year is coming. are we going to have coverage? do we need to find our own coverage? >> you know, they're particularly worried about the impact on their families and their dependents. for example, the local children's hospital no longer falls under that coverage plan. and that's a major concern for them. the questions keep coming, you know, so far inanswered. while the company pays half of their costs so if the employees have to go out on their own, how much will they have to pay out of their own pocket. >> dom, thank you very much. let's bring back elise who's covering it.

what's at stake for the obama administration? >> so much is at stake. particularly with the 2014 midterm elections around the corner. nervous democrats are very concerned about getting this website up and running because they were told that they would be able to run on obama care and win next year. that remains to be seen. >> i'm curious, they were sent home to do some homework. spread the good word about what is working with obama care. from what you're hearing there at the hill, how's it going? >> it's going okay. they're touting metrics the administration is releasing, for example, healthcare.gov, the error rates are down. the pages are loading faster. but certainly there are still anecdotes about people having trouble accessing this website. democrats are having trouble. they can tell a better story but if constituents are going on and unable to use the system, it's no good for them. >> error rates are down. they had been shutting it down on a regular basis, sflit. >> that's right. over the weekends they would do routine maintenance. of course, it was shutting down by itself sometimes

unexpectedly, which the administration had trouble acknowledging at times, but that's been continuing up until this week. >> that will certainly bump the statistics one way or the other. if it's not up, you can't have an error, i suppose. i'm confused about a couple things with this website. one, i was talking to wendell about, they're telling their allies to not push enrollment so much. if you can't go on, i'll ask the question of you, that's not a fix. >> federal health officials are telling people to logon at nonpeak hours. 2 p.m. in the afternoon is seen as the peak for traffic. they're telling people to avoid that. we know only as of this weekend is the website handling the amount of traffic it was designed to handle. it took them two months to build back up to that regular capacity. certainly, they want to mitigate and make sure this traffic is only coming in small waves to make sure it doesn't crash the system. >> a lot of democrats talked about, and even critics of the website, if it got up and running, would that be enough to make people forget about what

else has gone wrong. >> i don't think so. particularly because even if it's running for most users, there could be other errors that haven't been discovered yet. we could discover them as a result of traffic and just having so many people on the system is giving it a road test that it's never had before. there are also things on the back end that could be a problem. if users are having a good experience, that's good. but they need to make sure that their application information is getting transmitted accurately to insurance companies. we don't know if that's the case yet. >> we haven't even talked about safety and security because we won't know if that's working until, obviously, something goes wrong. real quickly, for those people who have gotten cancellation notices and they need coverage before january 1st, if this website isn't working, you have to wish for a friendly phone operator? >> that's right. a friendly phone operator or you can oftentimes go to your insurance company, one you're familiar with, and shop with them. there are now options for doing that even if you want to get tax credit. that's another alternative. >> in other words, we're kind of on our own? >> we'll see what happens when

we reach sunday. >> elise with the hill, thank you for coming in on a holiday weekend. >> of course. >> happy holidays to you. a new setback in talks concerning when u.s. troops will leave afghanistan. a drone strike that killed a child. now afghan president hamid karzai is threatening to cancel a long-term security deal. ♪ ♪

♪ [ male announcer ] everyone deserves the gift of all day pain relief. this season, discover aleve. all day pain relief with just two pills.

nato reports it's launching an investigation into a drone

strike that killed a 2-year-old child in afghanistan. an afghan president hamid karzai says he will not sign a long-term security agreement with the united states if the attacks by drone continue. the u.s.-led coalition has apologized for yesterday's strike but karzai says it shows the u.s. does not respect the lives of afghan civilians. for years, our innocent people have become victims in war under the name of terrorism and they have no safety in their hoemd, end quote. u.s. officials say if karzai does not sign that security agreement this year, they'll start making plans to withdrawal all american forces after 2014. katherine live with the news from washington. what's the response? >> isaf acknowledging the incident with coalition officials telling reporters it was a midlevel taliban commander. the statement reads in part, isaf deeply regrets any civilian casualties caused by this air strike yesterday.

isaf is committed to assuming all those are taken to prevent civilian casualties. the general in afghan called hamid karzai late last night to personally convey this message, and promising to investigate what happened and how an afghan child became collateral damage in this strike. based on his statements, though, karzai is digging in by saying the strike is another example of the u.s. military's disregard for afghan civilians and for his nation's sovereignty. >> well, what's the big picture here? >> well, right now you have the afghans not only pushing back against this agreement and also pushing back against specifically the u.s. drone campaign. which by context was dramatically scaled down in the last year. and you have similar opposition to the campaign in pakistan. with this final drawdown of troops in afghanistan next year, one analyst says there's real jeopardy when you look at this larger picture. >> as the u.s. begins to withdraw units out of

afghanistan, the strategy is to replace that with machines, with armed and unarmed drones. and if the pressure grows in pakistan to either diminish or, god forbid, remove the possibility of the use of those armed drones, that vacuum that we will create by pulling out of afghanistan will inevitably be filled by the taliban, by the hakani network, and in the long term, al qaeda. >> when you talk to people that work in military intelligence, they say whenever you have these large areas of ungoverned space, what ultimately becomes safe havens, these groups are able to re-establish the camps. when they have that kind of security, they're able to recruit, raise money and to launch plots against the united states. so, again, have you the sort of two pressure points now on the drone issue, afghanistan and pakistan. and then the third prong, the dr drawdown in troops in 2014. >> i'll tell you, that was a

long list 6 of enemies the general listed and unprotected area, which is really frightening you're laying out. >> it's a lot given what we've already sacrificed there. >> thank you. dozens of companies have stepped up and offered to destroy syria's chemical weapons, from reuters, citing chemical wash dog. syrian president al assad said his military department use chemical weapons on his own people but admitted to having a stockpile. he agreed to turn over the weapons. today the deadline for the company to volunteer to help destroy them, and i said some firms have come forward, although we don't know the names of those companies reportedly yet. china is upping the ante in an intense standoff with japan. there's word they're now keeping tabs on our country's fighter jets. that's next. ething you really love, what would you do?"

we knew this would happen but now we can see. the video of a deadly accident at world cup stadium in brazil as a crane was coming crashing down. we told you about this on wednesday. turns out cameras caught the whole thing. wow. two construction workers died in this. you can see the crane clipped part of the stadium. crews have been rushing to build that stadium for the world cup before a december deadline. investigators say the soggy ground may have given way under the crane's weight, causing it to topple. well, the united states military is stuck in the middle of a heated standoff now between schin that and japan. now there are reports the chinese are keeping tabs on our american fighter jets. the big dispute focuses on a

small group of islands in the east china sea. nobody lives on these ee lands but the region is known for its fishing. japan controls the senkaku islands and china claims they belong to them. china proclaimed a new air defense zone, overlapping with the japanese zone that's been there for years. the other day u.s. warplanes flew through there without china's permission. a few hours ago china reportedly sent fighter planes to patrol the air space. this has escalated tensions between china and japan. keep in mind, a decades' old treaty requires u.s. to defend japan. gordon chang joins us on fox "news deck," author of "the coming collapse of china." good to have you here and timely with the title of your book. first of all, i want to talk

about what the biggest concern is here now that they've put those fighter jets in the air after hours. >> i think the biggest concern is that we have fighter jets and planes of competing nations in close proximity, same air space. you know, the chinese have been engaging in very provocative flying for more than a decade. the accident in 2001. even in 2011 when vice president biden went to beijing, he showed the chinese pictures of chinese planes coming within ten feet of ours in international air space. they're continuing to do this. >> you know what i heard you talk about, it matters very much the kind of arsenal they use. what sticks in your mind about the planes they've used in this. >> when we had our. before b-52s fly through there, they came from guam, a long ways away, and they carry the world's most destructive ordinance. that's a lesson the chinese certainly got. at the end of last month, chinese state media boasted

about chinese submarines being able to get in close to the united states, launching ballistic missiles and killing between 5 and 12 million americans. this is something that was in response, i think, to what the chinese did a couple weeks ago. >> we sent them a big b-52 message. >> right. >> i get that loud and clear. what's their message back? would they even dare take a swipe at one much our planes? >> you wouldn't think so the problem is now you've got a chinese regime that i believe is in turmoil. you have a new leader who i think started this confrontation in order to solidify his position at home. the people's liberation army is the biggest, most powerful faction in the communist party. we have nationalistic generals and admirals now driving policy. so, china is acting according to a logic the rest of the world is not familiar with. this is dangerous. >> do the problems at home in china make this leader unpredictable?

>> it does. a lot of people say the chinese regime is okay. we heard that from the white house this summer. but they have been acting erratically lately and that's not consistent with a strong, political leader. >> they own a lot of our debt. that's not a news flash, gordon. does that complicate matters where we are lily? >> i think it complicates it a little bit. since july 2011 the amount of debt the chinese government has held has decreased by about $36 billion. so you know, we've been able to fund our deficits without the help of the chinese. which is not to say that we should do that, but nonetheless we don't need their help to drive ourselves into financial ruin. >> your book "the coming clachs china," they're building up their military. are they, in essence, collapsing? >> i think they have real problems because the economy is not growing at the 7.8% they claimed for the third quarter this year. when you look at independent data, such as job numbers, it looks like the economy is

growing at 1% or 2%, maybe even zero. that's having a real problem. for more than three decades, the chinese government has based its legitimacy on prosperity. when you don't have prosperity, the communist party focuses on nationalism. >> b-52 message, we'll see if it was enough. thank you very much. millions of americans are shopping on this black friday. and the dash for discounts has gotten downright ugly in some places. we're earn learning police open fire in the parking lot of one big box store. with the busy shopping season beginning, analyst say internet thieves are trying to prey on our pocketbooks. we'll tell you how to avoid the scams. i tweeted about this. the most response i've gotten in weeks on anything. stay with us.

shopper madness in full swing now. for most places across america, it began last night when major retailers, including macy's,

target and walmart opened their doors well before the traditional start of black friday. in some cases the shopping sprees turned violent, however. an officer reportedly shot a driver in the shoulder as he was leaving the parking lot of a kohl's department store outside chicago. investigators say a shoplifting suspect had gotten into the car and started pulling away with another police officer partially inside the vehicle. and in northern new jersey, police say they arrested a 23-year-old man who attacked officers after refusing to leave a walmart store. black friday, typically the biggest shopping day of the year. this time around it looks like it could be the busiest ever as well. the national retail federation estimates a record 97 million will shop in stores and online, up from 89 million last year. black friday will generate a record $13.6 billion in revenue, an increase from $13.1 billion last year. robert gray from the fox business network is live for us at a target store in carson,

california, doing shopping for me, no doubt, i hope anyway. what are some retailers reporting from early sales? >> reporter: well, you actually nailed it. a lot are saying maybe this move to start the shopping season earlier is working to their advantage. we'll have to wait to see the final numbers. certainly the early details coming out of walmart, they're expecting record crowds. more than 2 2 million folks. the first four hours last night, they had more than 10 million transactions. we're also hearing -- i am at a target, i'm hearing. they have seen online sales doubling through the early part overnight, we should say, compared to last year. one of the biggest sales dates ever for target, both in store and online. and well ahead of last year. as you can see around me here in carson, we were in the middle of the night, sort of a lull, but it has certainly picked back up as we're in full midday mode right now at 12:30 local time. >> and what are the big ticket items out there?

>> reporter: well, certainly last night, you know, they had a select number -- a limited number of some of the larger screen tvs selling at a deep discount. still going with deals like the ipad. they don't mark the price, apple doesn't allow retail partners to do that, but they give away free gift cards with purchases of certain ipads and apple products. also have the game consoles. they're sold out of the xbox one and playstation 4, the new consoles. they have big deals on some of the other big tvs, as can you see around me. the biggest crowds we've seen have been in the electronics area where they see some of the bigger markdowns here in the store that we've seen throughout the day and they're anticipating this to continue through the weekend. obviously, we'll have to wait and see. it's been raining out here, which we haven't seen a lot of that in southern california this year, so maybe the crowd's going more online. again, they're saying record traffic throughout middle of last night. we'll have to wait and see how the full weekenden ins turn out later. back to you. >> and i would imagine, it doesn't matter where they do their shopping, as long as the stores get our money, right?

>> caller: absolutely. that's what they're saying. you know, as long as they can keep it in the family. that's why they're way those gift cards when you buy the ipads here so you can come back to target and spend more here. hopefully in their eyes, they want to you spend more than $100. that just gets you in the door. >> absolutely. thank you very much. plenty of busy shopping days ahead, including sish monday. before you go online, we want to remind you plenty of con artists are trying to steal your money. one thing to watch for, phoney e-greeting cards. can you imagine someone sending you a digital e-greeting card and that's problematic? social media post scams, gift card scams, and fake delivery-related e-mails. our senior producer received this e-mail from walmart.com, walmart spelled with two ls as you go into the e-mail. that's part of the problem. the e-mail claimed he bought a $900 television and the message was full of links to suspicious sites. robert is online, a security

analyst for the mcafee security software company. thank you for joining us. >> good day. >> i'm going to ask you about the e-mail from walmart with two ls in a moment but i want to start with shopping via mobile devices. we have our ipads, iphones, smartphones, and securing our credit cards while doing that. are there safe software packages we need to download for our mobile devices or do they come already packed with them? >> well, you know, there are millions and millions of viruses targeting pcs. thousands targeting macs. and now tens of thousands targeting mobile devices. i've already made purchases on my mobile, and i know people are. there are some not so merry mobile applications available to consumers that when installed are malicious and will record user names and passwords and credit card information. so, make sure with mobiles you are only downloading applications from, say, google

play or apple's itunes. >> you know, that's really interesting because i think most people think, well, when you have a smartphone, it just comes already with the protective software on it. but there are some other little tips that i read in some notes thaw se that you sent us about the hhtp what you need to look out for if you swipe your card or use it online. >> when placing orders online, you want to make sure the website itself is secure. in the address bar where it says www, it should say httbs, signifying it's a secure page. that retailer has encrypted that card data over the web. >> you know where i've gotten caught? i do quick clicking. if i see a tweet or text come through it's been shortened, the website address, i click on it because it's so fast to go through it, but you say i should never do that. >> so, that's what most people end up doing. that's one of the biggest problems. we're kind of navigating the web so quickly, we're clicking on things.

we don't necessarily think about what we're doing. you really do have to think before you click. and that's why you need anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-phishing and a fire wall to watch your back so you can surf without having to worry. but the bad guys know the convenience of this tech nothing at our fingertips, buying stuff online, especially this time of year, we're visiting websites we find in search is that may be phoney e-tailers that we're entering credit card information on sites improperly protected, phishing e-mails with too good to be true offers, we click on the links that take us to rogue sites that may infect malicious code into our browser. they know all this stuff. they're ramped up and preying upon us during this dizzying time of year. >> that walmart with two ls e-mail we started with before we went to you that our senior producer received is one of those sites. when you go into it and you

click on one of those links, they take you to all sorts of places you certainly don't want to go to if you're at work, no matter where you are. it's not a good idea. last thing -- >> yeah. you do spell -- you do spell wall with two ls, right? >> that's true. maybe they're thinking you just don't know how to read. i don't know. >> that's it. many people don't, yeah. >> real quickly, the e-greetings, season greetings, i get these cards all the time from friends and family and i've never been, you know, feeling like i shouldn't -- too afraid to click on those but you say they can be problematic. why? >> well, malicious e-cards that are addressed to -- they say, someone who loves you sent you this great e-card. so, that e-card isn't specifically addressed to your name. it isn't specifically coming from anybody in particular. that very well could be a scam. even when you get them, you know, your friend or your family member specifically sent you one and it's to your name from them, you still have to be suspect. the biggest problem is that

these cards today have multimedia. they have flash. they have java, which are technologies which can be flawed, compromised. when you start clicking things or opening things f your device aren't updated, your operating system isn't updated, anti-virus isn't updated, can you get in trouble there. >> the 12 scams of christmas is a list you've put together for us. where do we find if. >> go online to mcafee.com/12signs. >> thank you very much. happy holidays to you. >> as well. well, if you can still play golf when you hit 90, you can play for free. that's the deal at one course in florida. right now, the course is waving the $120 0 greens fees for several elderly golfers. our steve caught up with some of them, live in our south florida news room. he's not 90 but a great scratch golfer i've read. >> reporter: this course is public and the city decided to do something for members who had

been there for for more than five years. we asked the head pro, why it's free if you're 90? we just wanted to say, god bless you. >> i love golf. >> reporter: frank is hoping to shoot a round of golf lower than his age. >> i'm 91, going to be 92. i hope from now until i get about 98 i'll only probably deappreciate about five shots. >> you have a great day. >> reporter: they golf for free at new smyrna beach thanks to a new ordinance passed by the city commission. five members over age 90 are regular players. >> there it is. in the middle. >> reporter: frank, who claims to have not missed a fairway in 20 years, has been looking forward to saving the $1200 in yearly greens fees. what did you think when you were 89? >> well, one more year.

it really relaxes me. >> i got them for my 90th birthday. >> reporter: 93-year-old helen began to focus on her short gram when arm strength declined and she couldn't hit the ball as far as she used to. >> that's a good one. >> reporter: she says the most important thing is being outside with other people. do you ever get mad out on the golf course? >> no. it's a game of golf. if things go wrong, accept them and go on. and maybe tomorrow will be better or maybe the other holes will be better. >> reporter: he may put the money he saved in fees on a new putter. >> it's a piece of copper now. >> reporter: he's been using it for 60 years. it's amazing to see that 92-year-old man with a 60-year-old putter, still shooting under his age. he's so opt mittsic. he thinks by the time it's 98, it will be easier so break his age. we got a sense of real confidence from those 90-year-olds out on the golf course. >> god bless they will.

i'll have to live to 200 to break my average. steve, thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you. some people say we just don't have enough good news in the news these days. you'll love this. a 9-year-old boy is planning to scale the western hemisphere's tallest mountain hoping to break a record. that's not the only reason he's attempting the climb. he'll join us live to talk all about his upcoming adventure. he's just 9. we know we're not the center of your life, but we'll do our best to help you connect to what is. because you can't beat zero heartburn. woo hoo!
