washington. kelly wright and jamie colby standing by in new york to take over from here. we appreciate you watching. ♪ the more she bakes ♪ the more i eat hello, everyone. i'm kelly wright. >> i'm jamie colby. i get to be with kelly wright. welcome inside america's news headquarters. topping the news thi talking aba care website deadline. it is now. we'll check the progress of health care.gov and see where the administration stands. >> plus, an american still detained in north korea. allegedly confessing to things he did during the korean war. we're going to see what he has to say as his family pleads for his release. >> and the tensions are indeed rising. ahead, an american diplomatic

meeting in asia over china's new air defense zone. we'll tell you what it could mean for our relationship with beijing. if you've been following it along with us, you know deadline day for obama care is here. after a disastrous rollout that frustrated millions of americans. well, the administration today is saying that health care.gov should now be up running for the, quote, vast majority of users. what exactly does that mean, molly? >> jamie, "should" is the key word there. that's not clear yet. the obama administration is promising americans they'll have a better experience as of today at the healthcare.gov website. so far, no numbers on how many people are trying to log on today. and how successful they've been. the president's team has been working for weeks on this website. it was down for 11 hours

overnight for maintenance. it was only scheduled to be down for four hours overnight initially. jeffrey zine, who is overseeing the relaunch today, said earlier this week that, by today, quote, the vast majority of consumers will be able to fill out applications, shop, compare plans and enroll. he went on to say, we will continue to update you on metrix and user experience and our success rates as we go forward. suggesting we maybe shouldn't expect any numbers today on how the relaunch is going. the goal is for 50,000 people to use the website at the same time and that the website should be able to handle 800,000 consumer visits a day. republicans say they're spectacle and waiting to see if the obama administration will live up to these promises. >> what they have done is reset the expectations. they've missed half their legal deadlines. they've had 22 delays.

people are saying wait a minute, this is not the way it was supposed to be. >> there's also the issue of who is signing up for what. one consulting firm estimates that 800,000 people have enrolled in medicaid. tax-payer paid health insurance for the poor. compared to only about 142,000 people signing up for private health insurance plans. >> thanks for the wrap-up from washington. kelly. >> jamie, thanks. as we await for the rollout redo to unfold, critics say president obama still has a long way to go before he can convince americans that his signature legislation is actually working. our chief correspondent joins us live with more. good to see you. >> good afternoon. it's not just the fox news poll taken in the second week of november that finds 55% of registered voter disapproving of president obama's job performance these days. that figure actually rises in more recent polls of registered

voters and americans overall taken by cbs news and cnn. it is pretty much the same in surveys taken over the last week. gallup reported recently the president's rating as a strong leader, honest, trustworthy and effective manager, dropped in each of those categories by 5 to 6 points since september. >> it's hard to sit opposite you, mr. president, and say this. but a lot of the criticism, it's personal. >> yes. >> people just don't think they're trustworthy. >> i don't think that's true, barbara. the truth of the matter is that i got re-elected in part because people did think i was trustworthy and they knew i was working on their behalf. i think the bottom line is, barbara, i don't know any president who hasn't gone certain periods during their presidency -- maybe george washington might be the exception. >> one leading presidential historian told fox news the only

modern analog for the major turnaround in negative perception president obama is now tasked with undertaking on behalf of his signature law is that of president clinton who managed to leave office with good ratings despite his having been discovered to have lied flatly and repeatedly to the american electorate. >> they're willing to give people a second chance, even a third chance. after all, the only president we've got, and we've got three more years with this president in the white house, if he is ready to tell people things that gives them confidence. i think he still has a chance to get some of that trust back. but this was a blow. there's no doubt about it. of the president's policy of the wave of health care policies, the poll found 30% of the registered believe in the apology but others believing it was proffered for political reasons. >> still fraught with a lot of

trouble out there. we'll see how it goes. >> so what if you still can't get on to healthcare.gov? it was down overnight. officials say there are some other options. you can pick up the phone and call the 1-800 number for it. you can download the form online and fill out a paper application. depending on where you live, you might also sign up through a state website. if you're just looking for a ballpark estimate, you can also use an independent calculator like the one provided on the kaiser family foundation's website. remember, the white house has still extended the enrollment period. you have until december 23rd to sign up for coverage instead of the original date of december 16th. >> as people shop for insurance with obama care, millions also packed the stores for black friday, looking for deals out there. stores opening earlier than ever this year. some even on thanksgiving day

itself. for those that wanted to avoid the lines and the fights that we've seen, online sales jumped to 9% from last year. the numbers of how much was spent in stores is not out yet. but analysts expect about 140 million shoppers will check items off their holiday list this weekend. >> would you beat someone up for that, kelly, seriously? >> what's up with that? >> a lot of people got hurt. there was some violence to report. today also marks another big shopping day. it's the fourth annual small business saturday. last year, americans spent $5.5 billion at these independent stores. this year, they're looking to cash in big again. laura engel is live at a toy store in downtown manhattan. it's great to support these mom and pop shops, laura. how are they doing? >> hi, jamie. well, so far, so good. small business owners here in the east village and all around

the country are certainly hoping for a big turnout for small business saturday. as they have in years past. this has been a day that's been declared for consumers to come out and support their mom and pop businesses. hopefully we'll have some good numbers to report by the end of the day. small business saturday movement, gained momentum other the last two years certainly with the help of social media. small businesses have ben joying a bump in business on the saturday after thanksgiving, creating a holiday shopping celebration since it began in 2010. last year, nearly 70 million people shopped small in their communities on this day for, as you mentioned, an estimated $5.5 billion sales. something small business owners certainly hope to see a repeat of this year. we're hanging out at dinosaur toy store. the owner says she hopes this day will keep people coming back for more. >> i want penal to know small

business saturday translates into small business every day. and remember to come to small businesses when they shop. >> and the small business association reports there are over 28 million small businesses across the united states. and that half of working americans either own or work in a small business. of course everybody hopes this is going to be a very big day. today's the day to get out and show some love with your wallet from your local community at those small shops on your street. jamie, back to you. >> great reminder, laura. it looks like a fun place to be today. thank you. the u.s. has now offered the plan to destroy syria's chemical weapons. under the proposal, the u.s. would dismantle the weapons on a ship, most likely in the mediterranean sea. u.s. officials say destroying those weapons on land would pose environmental risk. the weapons are set to be removed from syria at the end of this year. we want to give you an update on the american veteran

a deadly helicopter crash in glasgow, scotland. at least eight people killed there when that chopper went down. and to a pub packed with patrons. rescue crews are still working to get to those still trapped inside. so here we are, it's d day for health care.gov. president obama said he couldn't guarantee the website would be running at 100% for everyone. again today, the reports are surfacing the site is still suffering technical issues just a few weeks before consumers must sign up. that's right, there's a deadline. let's bring in our political panel. fair and balanced. angela mcgowan and doug showen, fox news contributor. i guess you both have to be in agreement the website still is not working. it was down most of the night. i had our brain room.

they are trusty. to check and see how many people are resort to the other methods of signing up. doug, i have to be honest, it's not all that many people that are having success. even though the deadline is december 23rd, a lot of people are going to be left without coverage. >> they have to go back and do something they don't want to do, which is reboot. basically, they need to regroup. they need to try to fix the website, fix the program. and try to get bipartisan agreement to make health care work for all americans rather than proceeding as you correctly suggest with a strategy in plan that seems doomed to fail. >> that sounds like more money. >> it does sound like more money. if they reboot, what are we rebooting to? the bottom line is this, if you can get through, you're not guaranteed you can keep your doctor. you're not guaranteed your health care premiums won't increase. euro you're not guaranteed you won't

have to change health care providers or health care facilities. the bottom line is this, we do need to reboot and come up with the better plan. not just to the website but to the flawed legislation which is affordable care act. >> the president's admitted that it was not going to be perfect, either signing up or actually having the law. but it is the law. one of the reasons i went to do the research to figure out whether or not people are having more success beyond the website to sign up is i was hoping to hear good news and move the story forward. but it seems like it stuck to. >> that to me is really the point. what you did, jamie, is exactly right. we have to move the story forward. because this isn't politics. this isn't a question of win a political debate. it's providing as much for as many people in as affordable a way as we possibly can. while angela makes very good points about the problems, it isn't a question of saying you win, i lose, got you.

it's better health care for all. we've got to do that as americans, not as partisans. >> you were behind president clinton on a lot of things. >> i did. >> what would be your one specific big of advice for president obama as it stands right now today? >> one word, delay. delay the implementation. delay the program. and do a fix so we have a cross border insurance purposes, tort reform, tax incentives. free market fixes. >> you're like, yeah, hallelujah, back in the background. >> exactly. >> am i sensing a bipartisan agreement right here? >> absolutely. >> you are sensing a bipartisan agreement solution. doug, you're exactly right. i wish you were advising president obama. you said it's not about politics. but it was the democrats that made it about politics. back in the day when they passed the affordable care act, pelosi

would not even let a proposal on the floor. you're right, the loser here, it's the american people. we do need health care reform. >> they've suffered, without a doubt. if you have your -- look, it's cold season, okay, and there's people that have a lot more serious things that i might be experiencing. it's a frightening thing for a lot of people. if there's bipartisan support since you're saying yes, yes, to the delay, what should happen after that? >> what should happen after that, jamie, is the government is supposed to protect the consumer. so keep tabs on what's going on. but doug is right, it should be the free market and competition. what's so sad, you have medicaid people, you have people who are not on medicare where they can't get access. it's not only the sick, it's also the people on fixed incomes that are getting hurt too. >> and the doctors who -- their calls are coming in, in droves

to their offices. they don't necessarily have the answers. before we go, it was interesting, yesterday, the president and the first lady went to a group of protesters who were fasting, trying to get immigration reform. took a little bit of a turn off the health care agenda to move forward on another item that he's trying very hard to push when congress is back. was that a good strategy? >> i think it is good he seeks to achieve immigration reform. but one of the sad byproducts of the divisions and fighting over the affordable care act is we've become more polarized. we're less likely to get immigration reform. i think our politics is totally polarized. on thanksgiving weekend, i think we really have to revisit our own determination to solve problems and do the right thing rather than play politics. >> you guys both bring up such great points. i'm so glad we could have you on this topic.

>> thank you, and feel better. >> oh, i'm fine. kelly has something special coming up next. kelly. >> thank you, jamie. today's "beyond the dream." a look at the new york city rescue mission. what a program. the organization believes in helping those who society treats as a lost cause. we're talking about the homeless, the down and out, the addicted. the forgotten. the rescue mission seeks to save people from destruction, helping them find the road to recovery beyond a dream. it's shocking. and to some even appalling that in the u.s. nearly 50 million people are living below the poverty line. for them, the hope of achieving the american dream has become a nightmare. >> the vision is this, that every single person who's homeless, who's struggling, entered life as a baby, had dreams as a child, to be a policeman, banker, whatever, never to be homeless. so something went wrong. it doesn't matter what went wrong. we have an opportunity at this time to intersect them with hope

and joy and faith and belief that their life can change. >> the new york city rescue mission started in 1872 when jerry and maria mccauley launched the first ever faith-based shelter every night to provide food and shelter for the outcasts of society. >> there's a whole family network out there that is hoping that someone is around to help them. we think that we're that someone. >> the mission has paved the way for men and women to have tremendous transformationings. the mission helps people rebuild their lives. healing their families and restoring broken dreams. t.j. hadley, for example, had been a successful design engineer until his addiction to alcohol ruined his career and nearly destroyed his marriage and life. >> i pushed myself away from my wife, i lost everything. i lost my home. and ended up homeless in atlantic city on the board walk. >> after undergoing the residential recovery program,

t.j. beat the demons, got his life back and now works at the mission in corporate relations. he also got his wife back. former rockette and miss new hampshire michelle. >> i started dating my husband again. one of the first events i came to was this great thanksgiving banquet last year. that's how i got started here. i was offered the position of director of public relations here in july. after 25 years of teaching dance professionally, i switched over. i now work at the new york city rescue mission with my husband. >> beyond its recovery program, the mission relies on volunteers to help them feed hundreds of people every night, plus make thanksgiving and mother's day a special time for poor mothers and their children. >> being an new yorker, being here today, means a lot to me, giving back to the rescue mission and spending my day here and just -- it's giving back to your community, especially with the holiday season coming up. not only the holiday season, but should be year round. >> it should be year round.

365 days to reach out and help somebody. for more than 142 years now, the new york city rescue mission has literally helped millions of people find hope and get a new life. there are now more than 300 rescue missions of its kind throughout north america. a love story. >> i love that. miss america is doing some wonderful things. you've told us a couple of things she's involved in already. >> yes, great things. >> thanks, kelly. i told you it was special. we are continuing to follow the story of a u.s. veteran being held in north korea. why? coming up, there's more of the video of him alley apologizing to that country. what is going on? what is going to happen to him next? and china's new airspace rules are stirring up some trouble. viles president joe biden is set to visit the region. i'm phyllis and i have diabetic nerve pain.

welcome back. it's the bottom of the hour. time for the top of the news. white house officials say they're on track to meet today's deadline to fix obama care online. the administration had promised to have health care.gov running smoothly after its rocky rollout on october 1st. a deadly plane crash in alaska killing four people there. the plane went down last night in a remote western village with ten people aboard. the pilot and three passengers are among the dead. the u.s. is offering to help destroy some of the most lethal parts of syria's chemical weapons. at an off shore facility most likely on a ship in the mediterranean sea. the weapons are to be removed from syria by december 31st. a truly disturbing story about one of our own. north korean state media is releasing video now of a u.s. veteran that has been held

captive in that country for more than a month. he's 85 years old. his name is merrill newman. allegedly now in this video, he confesses to crimes. newman reading from a document while speaking in broken english. take a look. >> -- collected information of the kpa and attacked the communications system and killed three innocent operators, delayed the munition supply, using explosives -- >> wow. we are following this story live in los angeles. there are so many people calling for his release. >> yes, his family particularly. they wanted him back in time for thanksgiving. there's certainly no chance of that. just in the way he was reading that statement, really all the hallmarks of perhaps a document that he didn't pen by his own hand. the koreans accusing him of war crimes and hostile acts. during the korean war when he fought there, but also during

his recent visit in october. you may remember he was dragged off his plane just as it was taking off october 26 and they've been holding himm ever since. he appears in perhaps a courtroom, we're not entirely sure. he looks in good condition. but describing from that document reading out what he was actually up to in north korea allegedly. take a listen. >> i asked my guide to help me to look for their families and relatives living in dprk and i gave the document with their addresses and e-mail addresses to the guide. >> and it appears that's what korean authorities believe are his hostile activities. he was on a trip with a friend to really reconcile with his time in north korea. the state's news agency released an additional statement in more details from newman. this is what they said he said in that statement. take a listen. after killed so many civilians

and soldiers and destroyed strategic objects in the democratic people's republic of korea during the korean war, i committed offensive acts against the government and the korean people. they showed more video in which he actually signed that confession. he also sealed it with his own thumbprint. there was one bit of good news. it appears the koreans want to put a propaganda out there from the way he's saying and that newman on camera gave flattering comments about the north koreans. just take a listen to this. >> on this trip, i can understand that in u.s. and russian countries, there is misleading information and propaganda about pprk. >> he says in his statement if he returns to the united states, that is a message he'll give back. that sort of language means that perhaps the koreans are contemplating releasing him. back to you, jamie.

>> bring us the very latest, thanks, dominic. china's controversial new airspace rules are fueling tensions with the u.s. and our allies. vice president biden is traveling to asia next week to focus on economic issues there. with stops in china, south korea and japan. however, china's aggressive new air defense zone and the challenges it presents are likely to be a very hot topic. let's bring in steven yates, former deputy assistant to the vice president for national security affairs. with this new air defense zone, many people are asking why is china even doing this, what is china seeking to do? >> china has, for a long time, had some very expansive territorial claims. they claim to be an aggrieved party over multiple centuries with western encroachment and attacks from their neighbors. and they see themselves as a center of a strategic sphere and see a proper place of dominance in the region. what they're doing is trying to break past an island chain that

they see as having held them in in recent decades. they're trying to take control in the south china sea and the east china sea pushing back on what has been sovereign territory of the philippines and others in the south and japan and korea in the north. >> you can see why this could be deemled as something provacative. you know china is causing some tensions already with its neighbors in japan and south korea. both of those countries of course are allies to the united states. so what do you expect vice president joe biden to actually do to ease the mounting tensions in the region? >> well, they have to listen very closely to what our allies have to see. we should lead in our policy with what our allies feel their needs are in this particular time. when he visits jap be and korea, they both have these territorial disputes and they need to know the united states stand by them, will help them of their own capability be able to defend their sovereignty, but make

clear the united states will support that claim. china's trying to be revisionist. >> however, china's air force is not acuss topped to conducting these kind of no-fly zones. what precautions must they take to safeguard against accidents or incidents that could provoke a larger conflict in the region? >> well, there's huge risks in this. you're correct, they have not regularly practiced this kind of activity. and some viewers may remember back in 2001, they had military aircraft trying to push back one of our surveillance airplanes. a collision occur and our crew was held in the south of china for several days. the risk of collision, the risk of this rising to be a much more difficult international incident is very, very high. china has, for decade, fanned propaganda against japan, trying to say what a threat it presented. if they happen to have a collision with japanese craft,

runs very high risk of politics running out of control with military behind it in china. >> and that could really spell disaster. how would you describe overall the relations between the u.s. and china? >> well, i think they're lacking direction right now. china has been feeling its oats a bit. the united states has been preoccupied in the middle east. they see basically a window of opportunity to push ahead on these kinds of claims. allies around the world don't feel bolstered. the chinese are not deterred by their capabilities or our commitments. i hope vice president biden might begin with a path of righting that course, but that's a tall task. >> tall task. indeed. stephen yates. obviously, a story that we will continue to watch. there are so many millions of americans out there this weekend checking off the items on their holiday wish list. stores are hoping you'll show up and crowd the aisles.

people may go from one store to another store. are we seeing that already, now that we've had black friday? >> we're feeling a lot of great black friday results. a lot of the stores opened up thanksgiving day around 6:00 p.m. walmart saw transactions between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., 10 million of them. target said that they saw the most traffic in a single day on their website. it's pretty incredible. >> then there's cyber monday, where a lot of people don't get in the car anymore. how many people are actually going to the stores like this and hauling all that stuff home? >> it's expected that 140 million shoppers will hit the store this weekend. that's 7 million less than last year. that's because consumers are going to stores repaired. they know what they want. they will make fewer trips because of that. >> is that what you're recommending, since you're saving us money? >> exactly. try to make a list of what you need to buy, but align that list to what's printed in the store's circular because that's where

the bulk of the deals are. you also want to, before you hit the stores, go online and see which retailers have the best price. if you're going to the store and you bring proof that a competitor retailer has the same item for less -- >> they might match it. >> it's easy to do these days. you can take your phone, you can scan a price at a particular store. it will tell you with gps, other stores in the area, maybe that are offering a better price. are people taking advantage of all of that? do stores know they are? >> not only are people taking advantage of it, but stores know it to the point where we've seen reports that best buy could be making their own bar codes to prevent people from doing this. it almost is too easy to price match. we're seeing a lot of retailers welcoming consumers integrating the whole smart phone process into the shopping experience. whether you're checking reviews at the store. they want you to simply go in, buy the item and be happy with it. >> what about the folks that start buying their christmas and

hanukkah -- well, hanukkah came so early this year, you hardly had time to shop. for christmas, it is a slightly shorter selling season. say that three times fast. this year. and a lot of people started earlier even than before black friday. do you really save that much if you go in the crowds? sure, we've been showing video all day of the mad rush, including violence. is it worth it? >> it can be worth it if you're one of the first few people online at the store because a lot of door busters are in limited qualities. if you see something and you cab grab it and it's a good deal, grab it. but there's no rush. you can wait up until the weeks leading up to christmas because that's when retailers are desperate to move out inventory from the stores. >> after christmas? >> there will be a ton of post holiday sales. the issue is there's not going to be much stock so it's going to be up to chance to see what you can find. >> that's me, i'm going to take my chances and wait until after christmas. it's great to have you here.

we are always trying to cut sodium out of our diets. now a new warning from the medical community that we could be consuming a dangerous amount of salt from a surprising source. some over the counter painkillers may have so much salt in them they could actually raise our risk of stroke by up to 22%. that's high. dr. david is the chair of urology at lenoxville hospital. what are we learning now from these plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a joy it is, but it isn't? >> this is a great segment for a lot of people to pay attention to. you've heard low diet food and low diet french fries. now we're talking about low self-medications. this is a study from london.

they looked at over 1 million patients over the course of seven years. 1987 and 2010. what they're finding out is there are a lot of these common medications that are sole uable that are fizzy, you can dissolve them in water and drink them and they contain a lot of salt. this is really a very important message to a lot of people who have to stay away from salt. over the course of four years, there was an increase of stroke and heart disease by 15%. these are common medications such as aspirin, vitamin c, alka-seltz alka-seltzer, sink and calcium, where you can just dissolve them in the water and drink them. you've got to be very careful. they're also increasing blood prae pressure. we know salt leads to high blood pressure. people on a long-term period of use of these medications have a 28% increase in blood pressure.

this is an important finding from the british scientists and a big message for the drug companies to put on the label if there is more than 23 milo gram of salt, to put that on the label for a lot of people to see. over the counter medications don't have that kind of message and that kind of labeling. this is really important. the message to a lot of doctors is to try to prescribe low salt medications. i never thought one day i would say this. we're talking about low salt medication or low sodium medication. part of the reason why there's sodium in the medication is they have to add bicarbonate to make it into the bubble form to dissolve the medication and that's where the hidden salt comes from. >> what you said is really clear, but for those who are hypertensive to begin with and they're taking this in, perhaps they didn't read the warning label about, do not use this if you have high blood pressure, what happens to them? are they now exposed because of high salt intake perhaps a risk

of a stroke or heart attack? >> 100%. this is very clear because the world health organization is recommending to only get 2 to 5 grams of salt a day. anything more than that -- which is about one teaspoon. anything more than that would increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. this study followed everyone for about seven years. and within the first three to five years, they find out that exactly to the point that kelly just mentioned that there is an increased risk of more high blood pressure and more stroke as a result of being on these medications. this is where a huge source of hidden salt is -- and we want people to be aware of. if you have difficulty swallow and that's why you're taking these medications, you need to talk to your doctor and be aware of how much salt you're getting and adjust your other medications. >> good advice. >> i was just curious if there are any alternatives, doc. >> regular medication, seem to be having less salt and also the

same version of these medications come without salt. >> we got to read more labels. also, we have to tune in for sunday house call tomorrow. i know you're going to be we've about low t before, low te testosterone. tomorrow, we're going to talk about how too much testosterone can be dangerous. >> we'll bring up to date messages for you. >> we're all going to join in at 10:30 a.m. eastern tomorrow. sunday house call. great to see you, doc. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> great to have you all with us today. i hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving holiday. i'm jamie colby. kelly, great to be with you. >> good to be with you always, love. jamey wright and kelly colby here. the journal editorial report is next. we wish you a happy thanksgiving weekend. >> keep it right here on the fox news channel and you can always check out foxnews.com.
