e-mailed us saying this isn't multitasking. she's doing one thing while her minion do everything else. try breast-feeding while potty training your toddler. thanks to everyone who responded. we appreciate you joining us today. have a great one. "fox and friends" starts now. good morning. today is thursday, december 12th. i'm elizabeth hasselbeck. check this out. they say they missed the mark. the truth is, they barely made a mark. we have the stunning news on the obama care enrollment. it's like a scene out of the movie gravity. a major malfunction on the international space station putting american astronauts at l risk in morning. we have breaking details. >> i have not seen gravity. one much my big regrets, i will shortly. remember this scene from hangover? >> do not go in the bathroom. >> calm down, please. >> there is a tiger in the bathroom. >> what's going on? >> there's a jungle cat in the

bathroom. >> wow, something similar just happened in real life. >> what? >> teenagers busted swiping a $250,000 leopard. >> why? >> "fox and friends first" hour. load the pictures, we're ready. it's "fox and friends." >> yep, cue the rooster. live from studio e. she's back. >> i missed the rooster yesterday. >> where were you? >> you guys looked great. >> one much my kids had a holiday christmas concert. i hear we're going to be wearing fun christmas sweaters. i had to be there. >> of course you did. >> i had to give them april thumbs up. >> it's the first day you missed since the early '70s when you started on the show. it was kind of weird. >> i made a lot of sense yesterday. can we play that back. >> yeah, you did.

i listened on the radio. >> i still listen and watch. >> well, we missed you. >> i missed you too. >> now you're back at work and you've got some talking to do. kathleen sebelius had to try to convince the people that this obama care has been a roaring success. unfortunately, when you look at the numbers, they simply have not showed. approximately 365,000 people in the united states, we've got some graphics have selected a plan. now, that's the key. selected doesn't mean they have bought yet. they've simply selected. >> so you have here the goal 7 million sign-ups by march 31st is the lofty at this point especially when you consider 5 to 6 million on the insurance. the chart is the difference. look at the difference between what the ultimate goal is of the 7 million and where we are now. where the government is.

this is astonishing to see this visual. >> whoa we're a little pancake and we need to be the 7 million. >> as you mentioned, all the people that lost their plans, caused the president to come out. for kathleen sebelius as troubling as obama care has been, it's got to be better than where she was at a month ago. she feels she can put numbers forward. at least the website works but the back end doesn't. you can tem. according to the hill, staffers were told who worked there and actually have the insiders that when you go to order obama care, make sure that it's essential that you check on your coverage that you actually have coverage. do not rely on your my accounts page. how many people out there don't get the insider text message or e-mail that says don't check -- don't take for granted your accounts page. make sure you pick up the phone and call to make sure you have it. so if you work for the federal government and go on their website and your boss says you can't trust that, that's bad.

nonetheless, she tried to put a happy face on everything yesterday. >> i don't think there's any question that the flawed launch of the website put a damper on people's enthusiasm. having said that, we're seeing positive trends. we're seeing a lot of people reengage. >> put a damper on it? there are millions of people who feel devastated right now. that's across the nation. i'm not sure there needs to be a new prescription for her glasses there but the numbers are not revealing what she's saying. nor is the response from the american people. people might not even be covered. if you're some of the 2,000 that have actually signed up for insurance and think you've paid, the insurance company may not even know you're there. according to reports. you have an insurance company that may not have electronically because the system isn't built, the information necessary to receive your payments and truly insure you because that back room, according to charles krauthammer says it's not going

to work because it's not built. listen to how deceptive he said the numbers are. >> look at every level, every number that you get on this. it's either inflated or deceptive. it's people who put stuff in your shopping cart, amazon would never call it a sale until you get a sale. and they don't even know how many have made the sale. and that's because what they call euphemistically, the back hand, which is the cash register of the whole system is not working. >> it's not working. and kathleen sebelius yesterday said that our error rate, we're down around 10% now. think about it. if you were a private business and you made mistakes 10% of the time you would be bankrupt. one other thing. pro public lia of new york, the had a -- 365,000 people have signed up, right? so it's not good but it sounds better than it was a month

before. according to insurance companies people and consultants for the insurance industry, so far only between 5, 10, maybe 15% have actually signed up. keep in mind, you do not have insurance until you have signed up and paid. and now, you do the math there. that would mean maybe 36,000 people actually have accounts right now. >> right. >> where they've paid. that's an awful number. >> somewhere two 20,000 and 36,000. according to the percentage there. the insurance company may not know they exist. >> kathleen sebelius says now that we're getting it going, now somhing to investigate what went wrong. i'm bringing in quality control people and we're going to solve things going forward. can you get another catch phrase in there? i'm not sure. the ceo of hines, he used to run a major organization, according to some make ketchup. here's what happened when kathleen sebelius worked in the real world. >> no, i don't think this was a

good move at all neal. i don't know what happened to accountability and ownership but the reality is that miss sebelius owns this problem. if she can't solve it, somebody else needs to be brought in. i'm a football coach's son. coaches get fired when they lose. i'm a ceo, they get fired twh they don't deliver. i don't know why they think it's exempt from this law. >> kathleen sebelius called for a review of contracting practices regarding the affordable care act website. and the inspector general is looking into it. and, in fact, apparently yesterday a letter was uncovered from the department of health and human services that went out to the various contractors who put together the website and said hey, if congress asks you questions, just refer them to us. we don't want you answering questions. don't worry, we'll take care of it, which is handy because now if there's an inspector general,

that means anybody asks a question, they'll go, you know what, we can't answer it because the inspector general is looking into it. >> they want to investigate themselves. if only everyone could do that. >> wouldn't that be great. >> we can pat ourselves down at the airport. >> we can do that anyway. >> we can? >> freewill. >> to get in, i'm saying. >> free women. >> you can pat yourself down now if you wanted to. >> but i'm not suspecting of myself. >> you're innocent. >> i took care of that before the show. they saw me. >> good morning, heather. >> good morning. i'll keep on going here. elizabeth nice to have you back. >> good to see you and be back. >> i have serious news to bring you now. there's a serious situation to talk about on the international space station. a cooling pump has malfunctioned and the crew is struggling to restore the pressure to that cooling system which keeps vital systems working, including life support. nasa says the six crew members including two americans are not

in immediate danger. but if the problem can't be fixed from the inside, a risky spacewalk like in the movie gravity might be the only option. we'll keep watching this and bring you updates as we get them. >> a plane crash -- loretta -- was killed when her cessna went down ten minutes after takeoff. eight others. she served as hawaii's health director since 2011. she was 65 years old. shocking new video that says asiana flight landing. it rammed into a seawall and cartwheeled down the runway there. according to the investigation, the pilot was very concerned about landing this jumbo jet without the help from the runway's automatic warning system. they were out of service at the time because of construction. investigators also focusing on the pilot's understanding or misunderstanding, should we say, of the auto thrust system of the plane that controls the aircraft

power. the system was not engaged and that jet descended at an altitude faster than it should have. remember this scene from the hangover? >> do not go in the bathroom. >> calm down, please. >> there is a tiger in the bathroom. >> what's going on? >> there's a jungle cat in the bathroom. >> okay. something similar just happened in real life with a jungle cat. see that thing right there. 16 teenagers are now under arrest accused of breaking into a vacant mansion and then throwing a wild party. this happened in the suburbs of los angeles. police say the guests ran off with versace suits and even this stuffed leopard that was worth $250,000. about a million bucks. who has a stuffed leopard. >> rich people. i hope they check the car, see if there's a naked guy in the trunk. remember that? >> heather, thank you. >> thanks a lot. >> coming up straight ahead, 20

minutes before the bottom of the hour. you just heard obama care had the numbers short of expectations so far. what happens now? >> wearing a baseball cap and putting on a suit and ready to talk. that's right. this time, the sign language fake fessing up. the interpreter breaks his silence. >> wait until you hear -- >> breaks his silence.

is another bailout on the insurance companies that stand to lose big bucks due to the low obama care enrollment numbers. how would this work and what would it mean for all of us? stuart varney is here to break it down. good morning to you. >> the first question, the answer is yes.

a bailout -- they're not going to call it that. they're going to say they're topping off insurance company funds. it is a bailout under section 1342 of the obama care act. insurance companies, if they fall short of money, money flowing into them, if they fall short, the taxpayer tops them off with additional subsidies. remember please, steve, that the insurance companies are getting $1 trillion and $75 billion from the taxpayer in the form of subsidies. if they don't bring in enough money from that failing website and they won't, we give them some more. that is a bailout. >> it absolutely is. but this is no surprise because to get the insurance companies to agree to be part of the exchanges, they had to say, you know, not in public view. >> look, if this thing tanks and costs you a lot more, we'll make it up. >> that's right. the insurance companies were in favor of this act because they

thought they would pull in a whole bunch of new customers and if they didn't bring in the customers, the taxpayer would make up the difference. that's where we stand. now the back office system to pay out those subsidies, that's not been built. so the insurance companies right now are being squeezed seriously and it hits the fan next year because they just run out of money. >> plus the people who -- we were talking a little while ago about how kathleen sebelius went out yesterday and said 365,000 people so far have signed up for -- they have selected a plan. that's the way she used it. >> right. selected a plan. >> they've selected it. only 5% of those, maybe 10, maybe 15% have paid. she made it -- she was emphatic yesterday. everywhere on the website, it says you have to pay to be covered. if only 5%, 10% have actually paid, that's bad for everybody. >> by the way, if you don't pay and i mean pay by december 23rd,

you are not covered as of january 1st. you've got to pay up that money very, very quickly. >> i don't think people are going to do it, my friend. >> but what about -- if it was a mistake on the obama care website. >> who is liable? who is liable? come january 1st, you think you've signed up, you've not actually signed up >> the government would be. but we're talking about people's health. you got to go to the doctor. >> yes. can you imagine come january 1st, january 2nd, some poor unfortunate gets into a car accident for example. big medical bill. that's okay, i am covered. no, you are not covered. you think you are. you think you enrolled and signed up, but actually you didn't. you're out in the cold. i think this is going to p happen. >> between that and the news of the bailout, but don't call it that. >> but it is. >> you're full of good news today. >> have a nice day. by the way, watch stuart, he's going to be working at fox business 3:02 and from now.

>> thank you. 9:20. straight ahead, remember the scene from the classic, "a christmas story." >> you'll shoot your eye out, kid. >> not only will you shoot your eye out, kid. now a bb gun could land your child in jail. really? is this the kind of less on the government should be teaching our kids. that's coming up next. then call is the ultimate distraction, how the twerking burglar pulled off one outrageous crime. ♪ ♪

welcome back. some quick headlines for you now. bill clinton bailing on a high price gala in vienna after the organizer is sent to prison the day of the event. the organizer accused of leading an espionage network to steal secrets to win consulting contracts. clinton was paid $275,000. clinton's office says he refunded that money. and a real raunchy robbery distraction. get this. caught on camera in brooklyn, new york. look at this thief outside. she's twerking outside an apartment building. she performed the dirty dance for an hour while her accomplice slipped in and stole some packages. #twerk and take. over to you, brian. >> all right. thanks for, elizabeth. >> everybody remembers this scene from the christmas story movie. >> rifle.

>> you'll shoot your eye out kid. >> not only will you shoot your eye out. apparently in some states like new jersey, bb guns can also land your kid in jail. joining us is psychotherapist and parent thomas kerr stein. tom, does that bother you? >> it kind of does. i grew up in new jersey. i had brothers older than me. my dad taught myself, my friends, my brother how to shoot a bb gun in the backyard. it's something, if you're caught doing that now, a bb gun in your backyard, you'll potentially go to jail. >> i can understand if you're a cop, you cannot tell the difference in a split second situation what's a bb gun and real gun. i understand from the law enforcement. there are situations where you're shooting targets in your backyard trying to knock over cans and you get arrested. >> right. if you're a cop and somebody points a bb gun at you, if you're using it to break a law, you've broken a law. if you're having fun and

teaching a kid to be responsible with an air gun. not an assault rifle in your backyard, should that be in the same discussion as a shotgun? >> if you think about it, when i was growing up, my favorite show was the rifleman. everyone was shooting gun. cops and robbers were commonplace. you didn't want to be a cop and robber, everyone was having halloween. what's changing? >> in our society. we have a lot of fear. parentally in our society, we're taking away having kids develop some sort of responsibility in many respects. i'm not saying in every respect. this is just another example of this. come on, in the backyard with your bb gun, you can go to jail and your kid can. >> because you can take an eye out with this thing. are you protecting us from ourselves it? >> i'm on the border of rockland county, i could transport that in my car and i would be arrested a lot of people i spoke

to, friends aren't even aware of this. guys my age that have kids that had bb guns growing up. they're not aware of this law. >> soon there will be a bb gun wing in prison. let's look at the some of the maps. a map of different states and cities that have guns being treepted as firearms and have listed as dangerous weapons. new jersey, delaware, rhode island, north dakota, illinois and michigan. this is a growing trend. as a guy that studies behaviors for a living, does it bother you? >> it doesn't necessarily bother me. i think there needs to be an awareness. this law will be in effect and people need to be aware of it and know about it. you can't have an upstanding citizen like myself risking being arrested or prosecuted trying to bond with a kid in the backyard with almost a toy gun. >> the 12-year-old is in the car, you get pulled over for speeding and you go to jail all of a sudden.

you should be aware. >> good luck in new jersey. watch your guns. five minutes before the bottom of the hour. the sign language fake fessing up. his outrageous excuse that he had a schizophrenic episode. that's next. your comments poured in on the show yesterday. a 6-year-old labeled as a sex offender for kissing a girl at school. big update this morning. big update.

it's been another tough week for president obama. oh, boy. oh, my goodness. did you see this yesterday? yesterday at nelson mandela's memorial service. two things. one is he came under fire because he shook hands with cuba's communist leader raul castro. people are like were why would you want to be seen with that guy and castro is i didn't. but all of a sudden he was shaking my hand. >> zing. >> the selfie too. we'll tell you the story of the interpreter that didn't do anything. >> he did plenty. >> he did. >> it was gibberish. >> how unbelievable. >> wait until you hear it. you'll hear it in the next hour.

>> crazier than the -- >> he's got a really good excuse. >> he has a reason. >> one thing he kept doing is rocking horse. he kept doing the rocking horse thing. >> all right. i'm going to say time to go to heather nauert. but slowly put your hand down. >> it doesn't go down? >> bring me -- >> the problem with -- behind you at the weather center. >> maria was in the way. >> if you saw maria, it would have been a disaster. >> she's really tough -- >> by the way, maria's station, her weather station is right over here around the corner. >> i was working. >> one of the mysteries of television. we were talking about that interpreter, the sign language interpreter. i've got that story for you in just a second. i'll get right to that. in the meantime, investigators here in new york are trying to figure out what killed a local college freshman during a

fraternity ritual that went horribly wrong. a 19-year-old man was taken to the hospital with a massive head injury while he was on a retreat in pennsylvania. doctors had to put him on life support but he died shortly after. police still aren't sure what happened during this ritual and the fraternity now refusing to comment. we'll keep you posted. we're now learning the miracle rescue of the man trapped underwater in a shipwreck for nearly three days, that rescue almost didn't happen. a new interview, harrison owe keen says he saw the lights in the water. and a diver was coming his direction, but then the lights disappeared. so he swam through the pitch dark waters to try to grab that rescue diver but he just couldn't find him. so he swam back to that air pocket that kept him alive. he got his breath and then he tried again. he finally was able to find that diver and he tapped him on the back. the diver thought he found a dead body. and then quickly realized that the man was alive.

the man says he's done with the sea for good and he just got a new job as a cook on land. he had been a cook on that ship. >> i think i'd never go back after that. >> absolutely. >> now an update on a story we told you about yesterday that's gotten a whole lot of attention. a 6-year-old boy suspended from school for kissing a girl on the cheeng and the hand. the colorado school district is changing the offense from sexual harassment to misconduct. the mother of the girl he kissed is also speaking out. the school says it was right to suspend the boy because the kissing happened without the girl's consent. then a shocking new claim. this is what we referred to earlier by the man accused of using fake sign language at nelson mandela's memorial service. he says that he was hallucinating, that he was hearing voices. and that he saw angels coming into the stadium. he also admits to having had a violent past. he says he's getting treatment

for schizophrenia and was paid $85 to work that event on tuesday. he says "i try to control myself and not show the world what was going on. i'm very sorry. it's a situation i found myself in." the south african government is now investigating. those are your headlines. >> if he didn't know sign language. >> there's an accreditation that people who do sign language can get. i don't know if that's required in south africa. we'll look into that. >> thank you very much. they looked at it. it was not american sign language, it was not any of the official languages of africa. this guy was hired, i believe, last year to do the same thing for the president of south africa, zuma. did the same gibberish job and they called for him to get investigated and they never did. >> you know what, it turns out according to my study, he's working on health care.gov. this guy is really strange snimt what study is that? >> guess who sh back officially? maria molina.

>> we can finally look at you. >> there's a whole weather department back there behind this wall. >> i know. >> make our we thar graphics out there and everything. let's look at the weather. >> never mind that woman behind the curtain. let's look at the weather conditions across the country. before we do that in our country, want to show you a picture from london. this picture was taken yesterday and it shows dense fog across the city. you can barely see the skyscrapers popping up above that fog. very dense fog. typically for fog, you need calm winds, high humidity and april contrast in temperatures in the air. just beautiful picture right there on the screen. otherwise, in our country, we've been having to deal with significant lake effect snowfall. take a look at the reported snowfall totals from parts of upstate new york. up to 44 inches of snow fell across sections of redfield, new york. incredible. more than 2 feet in other parts of new york. expect more of it later today

and the next several days across the northeast. otherwise, the current windchill temperatures, it is very cold out there. 26 below zero in marquette is what it feels like as you head out the door. the actual high temperature only in the teens today in minneapolis. brian, we were telling everyone about this possible storm system moving into the northeast for the weekend. it still looks like a possibility. over to you. >> wow. that's going to be a fun weekend. guys, tell you about sports. baseball isn't always thought as a contact sport. but home plate collisions have injured players and destroyed careers. even ray fosse. major league baseball wants to put an end to that. catchers won't be allowed to block home plate and runners will not be allowed to run over catchers. violators could face disciplinary action. the new rules need to be approved by the owners and the players. but it could start as early as next year. i think they'll both agree to this and have replay as a part of this. from one 43 to another.

former george w. bush sends alabama's kicker a letter. after hopes for a third straight national championship were foiled at the iron bowl, cade foster received so many hate messages after missing field goals and cost him the game according to some, the president wanted to lift his spirits. 43 sent him a handwritten note which foster just posted on twitter saying this. deer cade, life has setbacks. i know! however, you will be a stronger human with time. i wish you all the best. another 43. george bush. alabama will play oklahoma in the sugar bowl in january. >> how great is that. >> 43 to 43. >> the sfie ring that saved the american revolution, we just got it's number three on "the new york times" list. >> fantastic. >> congratulations. >> it's to all the fox viewers. look who is 2 and 1. 2 is krauthammer and 1 is

dancing troup i used to do christmas caroling and stuff. o holy night is one much my favorite songs. >> my favorite. >> your favorite. glee fans around the world are going to be sad after next season because they announced the show will be ending. we asked matthew how he feels about the whole thing. >> are you going to be sad to see it go? >> yeah. i mean, it will be bittersweet. we've created such a family. especially after cory passing this year and stuff, i think we've gotten closer. but at the same time, i'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into something else. i've been toog this almost seven years by the time we finish. >> good job security. ready to move on? >> you can always go back and do a glee movie, that entourage. >> you know, edit this part out. don't give anyone any ideas. >> i don't think he wants to do a movie. >> i don't think so. i think he's done.

quarter before the top of the hour. quick headlines on this thursday. the fcc is holding a vote later today on whether air passengers should be allowed to talk on cell phones on airplanes. won't that be relaxing. according to a new quinnipiac poll, 60% of americans don't want that to happen. they want to fly in peace. thousands of people don't have mail. yahoo mail down since monday night. the company blames the problem on hardware. nsa director keith alexander defending his agency's role on spying on the american people. remember? >> like holding on to a hornet's nest. we're getting stung. you've asked us to do this for

the good of the nation to defend the nation to get the intelligence we need. nobody's come up with a better way. if we let this down, i think we'll have let the nation down. >> so would the nsa really be letting the nation down if it stopped spying? >> joining us fox news seen i can't remember judicial analyst, judge andrew napolitano. judge, you've been calling for clapper to go for a while. in your estimation, he flat-out lied in front much congress. >> the person we saw is general alexander shall the head of the nsa. the person we're talking about is former general james clammer, the director of national intelligence. he's general alexander's boss. >> you think both should be prosecuted, right? >> certainly general clapper should. he directly lied under oath and did so twice. he did it to a person who knew he was lying and tried to give him an opportunity to get out of it. if there are secrets that you can't reveal and you're under oath, you don't deny that the secrets exist. you don't say no, we're not

gathering data on 10 million americans. you simply say senator under the current state of the law i cannot answer that question in this forum. that's the proper lawful honest answer. >> close the door and i'll let you know. >> roger clemons was indicted and prosecuted for lying about the contents of his urine. this guy lied to the nation about whether or not they are gathering massive amounts much data about everybody. he should be prosecuted. >> pabst blue ribbon -- let's look back at something you did a couple of months ago. you nailed this a while ago. >> the nsa is utterly out of control. either the president doesn't know what they're doing in which case he's not in charge of the executive branch or he's misleading the american public. they lied under oath, this administration when they were asked under oath are you collecting information about american citizens and admiral clapper said no we're not. >> you were on the case and you've been on the case for a

long time. there's also a trickle effect to this, right? >> yes, there was. james sense en brenner, congressman from wisconsin, the author of the patriot act, i understand what he did and why he did it. earlier this week he said general clapper should be prosecuted for perjury. so even people that are part of the intelligence community and established part of the apparatus by which the intelligence community operates believes that perjury has to be prosecuted. >> there's a line from the washington times op-ed that you read. in fact, do it in your voice. >> this is a violation of the natural right to be left alone. when that right is violated, we surely will alter our private behavior. just as surely, the government expands surveillance knowing that it is not being watched. when you know you're being watched -- >> which we do. >> we're going to start changing our behavior and that diminishes our freedom.

i'm not suggesting we not spy. nobody would say that. you can't spy on 300 million americans to capture a half dozen. you have to limit it to target the individuals you want. the concept of them seizing all of our e-mails and texts and our phone calls will change the way we live. >> sure. i mean, when you think about gathering of evidence after someone has been accused of something, it's being gathered beforehand. also, is this happening at the local level as well? >> unfortunately, it is. the local are imitating feds. local have gone to telecoms saying we want a tower dump. provide us all the information from a given tower. some of the telecoms are saying yes, some no. then they go to a judge to ask. some are saying yes, some no. then then bought their own $400,000 device that they put on the side of the road mimics the cell tower and collects every phone call that goes by. >> the only thing i say about people changing bee mafr when the cameras are on. it's not the case with the

in that case, absolutely nix it. what happens is, basically a couple different things. there is a 50% rule. any time that you have an appliance where the cost of the repair is more than 50% of the cost of a new appliance, you should always consider replacing it. the other thing is, holiday weekend, great time to buy appliances. huge sales around that time. >> dryer? >> as long as you have a moisture sensor in your dryer, which most dryers in the last 15 years would. let's say it's 12 years old but you still are a parts warranty, worth fixing it in that case. and so what basically the moisture sensor will save you on energy efficiency. you want to make sure that's in working condition. overall, dryers, long life span. you can fix them inexpensively. >> refrigerator, freezer? lot of parts now. >> lot of parts, especially with the side by side. that tends to be a little bit more expensive than the stacked freezer and refrigerator to repair it. twice as prone to being in need

of repair. so in that case, if it's around six years old, you may want to think about replacing it. let's say it's not as thetically pleasing, if it's white, it could help with your home value to get a new one. >> so try fix. water heater? >> water heater. >> sometimes not an option in a cold month. >> the moderate climbs are generally able to fix it. sometimes you can do diy. go on-line. sometimes where the thermostat isn't working, whether electric or gas, you can generally find some solutions on-line and this is something that you can fix. but if you live in a cold weather climate, you may need to consider getting a new one. >> especially if it's been the past couple of weeks. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we appreciate your info. we'll check out promotional codes.com and sears. you guys are a destination for new appliances like kenmore and for repairs to your existing appliances. thank you so much. >> thank you.

coming up, the obamacare web site captain get your money to the insurance companies. so are you covered technically

good morning. it's thursday, december 12. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. missing the mark, shocking new developments on how few people signed up for obamacare. but the administration is selling a different story. are you buying it? and the sign language fake fessing up this morning. he said he had a schizophrenic episode and this isn't the first time. >> thank you, mccullly. talk about an unwelcome guest. >> shaq, how are you? >> hey, hope you don't mind, i

brought an uninvited guest. >> to the business party? what's going on? oh, it's brian. >> there is some good acting there. what not to do at your christmas work party. we've got details. "fox & friends" hour two for thursday starts right now. >> you're watching "fox & friends," the number one morning cable news show in america. number one in cable news. maybe not number one in fake acting. >> it's like any other party. on a tv set with a 7' 1 center who is getting into the hall of fame. steve, did you see what happened? do you see what she's doing on the side? >> elisabeth? >> she's chewing gum when i'm not around. >> i know. brian hates gum chewing and when you click your pen. so i've got the kind of pens that you can not click. but i do have the back up.

>> then i'll start snapping my gum. it's just there so you know it's a possibility. >> we're differential to you. >> i appreciate it. >> we've recalibrated our entire lives for you. >> i know. i don't key your car anymore because i know that bothers you. >> i have an addiction to chewing gum. you really helped me work through that problem. >> i and kelly ripa have a disease and i think i need compassion. >> does she have the same thing? >> she can not take gum chewing. >> if you don't mind, it would be nice. but i got to tell you, yesterday front and center, kathleen sebelius talked about the latest. i think she was somewhat happier than the first couple of times around as the health and human services secretary was able to throw out some numbers that on the surface seemed as though she was revealing a big improvement on healthcare.gov. because she said, and we have no

way of backing this up, we have signed up 365,000 new members, have jumped into obamacare. >> so the goal is 7 million sign-ups by march 31. it's not looking that great, given -- then you have 5 to 6 million who lost their insurance. that number is probably the most key for americans. obamacare enrollment here, we have 364,682 signed up against the 7 million that they need to actually pay for the system. >> right. she was out there to try to get the press corps and democrats to believe that the worst is behind us. as you can see, there is a giant mountain they've got to climb to get as many people on the exchanges as possible. yesterday joe barton from the 6th district of texas and kathleen sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, were talking -- actually tangling over whether or not things will be done by the end of the year.

they won't be. what's the new deadline? roll tape. >> could you tell us what's being done to try to get that ready by january 1st, since almost half the system, according to mr. chow, hadn't been built yet. >> getting the insurance company ies their money for accelerated tax credits and for cost sharing is due to go into effect in mid january. >> wow. >> they'll be getting paid, the insurance companies, by the middle of next month. >> so they say. >> so they say. but they've said a lot of stuff so far. >> she said, if i knew what i knew now then, i would have done a slower launch. maybe push back the launch a little bit. >> it was her choice. >> yeah, it was. i believe there was a shutdown of government mainly for that

reason and a mini filibuster by senator cruz. she should have said mr. president, take the delay. >> the republicans were right. something is wrong with obamacare. here we are. >> possibly the reason for the delayed and anemic sign-up is explained by charles krauthammer who is in the back room and -- said the back room in the back system is completely flawed when it comes to connecting the dots. >> the idea that you have to hand match people who paid a premium with the insurers isn't 20th century technology. it's 19th century technology an insurer has to find the person, call them up, go over all the details on the form and then adjust them, which, of course, is impossible to do in any substantial numbers. the administration speaks about having millions signed up by the end of december. there are 3 million -- they're 3 million short as of now.

there is no way it's conceivable that it would sign up that number and even if it did, there is no way it's conceivable that the insurers would be able to hand match the information. i think all of this is to assuage democrats to give them something to hang their hats on and pretend everything is okay on the recess, but the beginning of january is going to be a train wreck for them. >> so when he's talking about hand matching, the insurance companies have to go through with pencil and paper and look at okay, this person, did they pay? according to a report out there, apparently maybe 5%, 10% of the people who so far have selected a plan have paid, which means maybe 20 or 30,000 are insured. whereas when the secretary yesterday said it's 360 some odd thousand, that's the number of people who selected. that number has not paid yet. that's the big shopping cart.

>> right. >> by the way, how about this for audacity? cabs cabs says now that things are up and running, she wants to do a full investigation of how things got that bad. is she going to look through her office? check out her e-mail, because it's her responsibility? how do you investigate yourself. it's like sammy the bull investigating himself. >> right. accountability where there has been none, some would say the inspector general being able to ask those questions would side step the ability for average citizens and representatives to continue to ask the hard questions that she was faced with. >> she'll come back every time and say, we're doing our own investigation. >> we're taking care of that investigation, thanks. >> and there are all these house committees that are doing some investigates and they'd like to ask questions and apparently a memo was uncovered where the health and human services department sent it out to all the vendors, people who put the web site together and said, hey, somebody asks you questions, remember, you signed a contract with us. refer them to cms, the centers

for medicare and medicaid services. don't you go talking to congress yourself because then you'll get in trouble. what do they have to hide? >> right. >> what do they have to hide? >> i'm not sure if maria is hiding in the weather room. >> she's not. >> she's not there right now. >> you're hid hiding your triceps this morning. i know that's the best way to feel better, compliment you on your triceps. they asked what's your favorite body part? i said triceps. too revealing? >> elisabeth, now you know what to do. >> i thought it was brian kilmeade's secret six pack. >> yeah. right now my six packs are a huge secret. it's hiding well.

bernie madoff committed the largey ponzi scheme in history, ripping off his victims and running away with more than $50 billion. now five years later, fox business' charlie gasparino says wall street still has not learned its lesson and he'll join us to explain us that. good morning. >> good morning. we have a lot more regulations, but this wouldn't have taken regulation to catch bernie madoff. it would have taken a lot of common sense, or a little common sense on the part of regulators. they knew there was a problem with madoff. there was a problem with his

returns. they were high and very steady. that's an impossibility. if someone out there offers anybody out there, i'll give you 10% return guaranteed, the minute they say guaranteed, walk away, this is a bernie madoff scam. the regulators knew this. they didn't do simple stuff like check if he ever did a trade. he was actually stealing the money. that's what a ponzi scheme is. you steal the money, you spend it. at some point it runs out. miss ran out when the big european banks started pulling hundreds of millions of dollars out. what was fascinating, it's the average person that really got screwed here. the average person that he preyed upon because they believed in him. they believed in something called the madoff bond. that he would always give them that return because he did for so long. they were the ones that got screwed. >> so was he doing this from the very beginning? why didn't the simple steps happen? >> that's a great question. i'm very critical. i interviewed him a couple years ago. i called him a delusional

sociopath. he barred me from contacting him in prison because i wrote some critical stories about him on fox. but a lot of reporters still go down and talk to him. i think at this point we should stop and here is why. he's adding nothing new. he has been very uncooperative, almost unrepentant. he almost blames it on everybody else. what's fascinating about business journalists, they talk to him like he's an expert. i will say this, he spent the last 20 years not being part of the big financial community. he spent the last 20 years being a con artist. >> are we going to see another bernie madoff sometime soon? >> yeah. we're going to see a lot of them. i really don't think people get the joke here, or the bad joke here. the bad joke here is that the regulators are never going to protect you. the only person that will forget you -- if you think more laws will, you're wrong. the only thing is common sense. when someone tells you, i guarantee you a rate of return

of 8%, 10%, that my investment never goes down and people do that all the time, i'm telling you run the other way. that has not changed. bernie madoff, yesterday he turned himself in, he was indicted. today was the five-year anniversary. but before that, there were lots of other problems. there was the internet bubble. people believed internet stocks would keep going up. it happens all the time. it's going to happen again. the best way to forget yourself is use your common sense. if stocks go down, housing prices go down. >> beware of a guarantee? >> beware of any guarantee. >> thank you, charlie. great advice. love what you have to say about that. in other news, giselle spark ago huge debate over this multi tasking moment. is it acceptable to breast-feed in public? and does this remind you of your office christmas party?

information. what's amazing is they're saying 73 days later, don't provide information 'cause it's a road map to hackers. that means the vulnerabilities are still there today. your personal information likely can be hacked on these web sites today based on their refusal to let us see what was, in fact, prelaunch vulnerabilities. >> it's unbelievable security that's a nonpartisan issue. everybody understands it. we've all been affected by it. when you got someone like chairman rogers coming out saying, my cyber security experts say we're very vulnerable, who is going to put their tax information in? today you're taking action. what's happening? >> we're hearing first up from three medical doctors who will tell specific examples of how, under the current law, the affordable care act is interfering with their ability to continue treating their patients. it's the tip of the iceberg because the direct impact that you're going to hear about today is second to the indirect impact which is medical insurance

companies are dropping all kinds of doctors, creating, if you will, voids for oncologists in other areas around the country and in fact, quite frankly, this is exactly what you could expect when government takes over and starts mandating, the private sector will figure out to you to benefit, game, whatever you want to call it, from it. that's exactly what we didn't want is we didn't want a governor take over health care, but that's what we're getting. >> so far you have an orthopedic surgeon, ophthalmologist, and you have people directly affected. what's your answer to those who are saying on the left, well, he's just going to cherry pick people who don't like obamacare? >> that's a good thing. we have a system in which the democrats get to pick a witness. they picked an intellectual. at the last hearing they picked a health historian who told us that penicillin was developed by the government in world war ii.

unfortunately, it was developed in the 20s in scotland. but the fact is, there are benefits to spending a trillion dollars of your money on people's health care. no question at all. our question really is, are we driving down the cost of health care while maintaining the availability and benefits we had before the law? the answer clearly is no. this is a trillion dollars mistake. it's one in which yes, some people benefit from all that money. but a lot more people are being hurt. 5 million people have lost access to the health care they wanted and more will lose. while only a fraction are getting access to these subsidized systems. >> real quick, a lot of people say health care costs are flat. they have not been increasing at the same rate. so it shows obamacare is working. what do you say? >> ultimately health care is a combination of good, quality and a price. since 1960 when the government really began interfering in the health care system with medicare, we've gone from 5% of

all our money, 5% of gdp to nearly 18% of gdp spent on health care. so the fact is that we have a long history of spending more and not getting that much more for it. that's what needs to be changed. we need to start getting doctors and hospitals to be more efficient if we're going to maintain good health care at a reasonable price. >> over your shoulder where the action will be taking place at 9:30. the hearings begin with the chairman leading the way with the house oversight committee on obamacare's impact on premiums and provider networks. chairman, always good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. coming up, she got behind the wheel and drunk and she died. now her friends are under arrest because they should have known better. and not let her drive. it's an unpress debted case and -- unprecedented case. john stossel is here. he says the free market is under attack. and he has proof. just ask him about his lemonade stand. you know the thing about stossel? he takes his bike here.

good morning. today is thursday, december 12. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. check this out. they say they missed the mark. but the truth is, they barely made a mark. we have the stunning news on obamacare enrollment coming up. and she got behind the wheel drunk and died. now her friends are under arrest because they should have stopped her. it's an unprecedented case. we are all over that. that's coming up shortly with peter johnson, jr. >> and they twerked hard for the money, the robbers who used disturbing dance moves to pull off one outrageous crime. cue the floating pictures. i'm out of stuff to say. >> hey, it's taylor hicks. ♪ thanks for watching "fox & friends."

happy holidays. >> taylor hicks has been there from the beginning. ever since he became the "american idol," he stopped by every once in a while. he's a good friend. >> he is. and he can cook. and he's got the heaviest book, even the webster people said i can't lift this with one hand. feel this thing. it's one of the things on your coffee table forever. >> listen to how heavy it is. that's heavy. >> you just killed nine ants. >> because there are 735 recipes from readers and he's one of the readers and he's one of the featured people. >> yesterday on the obamacare note, i'm sure taylor hicks has to have his own individual plan, but he also might be interested in this. that the enrollment numbers on obamacare, which were going to affect so many more americans than they are today because soon we'll have the hiatus that corporate america has been on because they're exonerated for a year. right now it's about an individual plan. shear what they rolled out. from very few members who have joined to 365,000 have gone on

to obamacare and have logged in. how many they insured is another question. but there are 365,000 who have selected a plan. >> right. just like putting something in your shopping cart, like on amazon or shoes.com. i did that without buying anything before i -- >> because you're going to think about it for a while. can i really afford this? is it good for me? >> we have more info. we know they're edging toward that 7 million number, which is required in order to pay for obamacare here. look where they are by comparison. just over $350,000 right now in terms of what they're saying people enrolled, to 7 million. and the goal that has to be reached by march 31. i mean, you see those numbers, they're pretty startling to most of americans looking at them with clear vision. kathleen sebelius is trying to spin those numbers. let's take a listen here. >> i don't think there is any

question that flawed launch of the web site put a damper on people's enthusiasm. having said that, we're seeing very, very positive trends. we're seeing a lot of people reengage. >> you know what? so yesterday she gave -- brian, you were talking about this. she gave the number of people who so far have selected a plan. essentially the white house is making up this metric. tell us how many people have actually paid, because those are the people who are actually covered. if you've selected a plan, you haven't paid for the plan and you are not covered yet. also she did reveal yesterday that right now the error rate -- remember before they had started, it was something like 75, 80%. now it's down to 10%. think about that. the error rate is 10%. just imagine if you're on an airplane where 10% of the time they miss the runway. this is all bad. >> that's a problem. >> here is charles krauthammer talking about how these numbers that they're floating around right now, misleading.

>> look at every level, every number that youhis is either inflated or is people who put stuff in their shopping cart. amazon would never call it a sale until you get a sale. and they don't even know how many have made the sale and that's because what they call the back end, which is the cash register of the whole system is not working. >> and it won't be for a month or two. >> what you have to keep in mind is the big story of the first two weeks, how many people got cancellation notices? estimated between 4 and 5 million. think how many more when businesses decide obamacare might be too expensive and they got to suck it up and take the fine. then they'll be tossed in without plans into the individual market trying to get something from exchanges which so far yielding not to everybody, but to a lot, especially people who have been writing us, that if they are affordable going in, the deductibles make it unaffordable and almost like not having

insurance because thankfully in many case, you don't have catastrophic situations where you go over your deductible. kathleen sebelius staggered me with one of the things she said. she's going to look into -- now that things have gotten on track, she claims, she's going to investigate what went wrong with the private contractor process. how she ended up with that company that messed her up. >> this is all supposed to rollity in october. here we are, they're talking mid january at this point when they continue to set a goal post, miss it, and then move it again down the chain. they're moving the chains down the field. bill johnson said wait a minute. this is a private sector, she would be long gone. why is she wearing a survivor immunity necklace, as they call it. >> no, i don't think is a good move at all. i don't know whatever happened to accountability and ownership, but the reality is that miss sebelius owns this problem and if she can't solve it, then somebody else needs to be

brought in. i'm a football coach's son. coaches get fired when they lose. i'm a ceo, ceo's get fired when they don't deliver. i don't understand why the government thinks it's exempt from this fundamental law. >> and one other thing just to explain a little more the number, the 360 some odd thousand selected the plan number, a majority of those people are from the 14 states that are running their own exchanges. >> exactly. >> in other words, the 14 states are better than our federal government. and in fact, there are something like -- a number of states where the sign-ups -- i think it's 41 states -- where sign-ups are in the three and four figures. maybe 100 or 1,000-odd people have signed up in 41 states. in oregon, they spent $300 million on the site. 44 people have signed up. >> understandable why people are proceeding with caution and not jumping on to this web site right now given the security

issues or lack thereof in terms of security, and then right now with that back room, back order cash register not work, you can't get your paper. you have to hand the paper to the insurance company so they know you exist in terms of paying for it. this is a disaster from many. we keep hearing stories from many. in the meantime, heather nauert has headlines. >> good morning. hope you're off to a great day. it's 7 minutes after the hour. we've serious situation to tell you about taking place on the international space station. the fix, we're told, could be a risky space walk similar to the one that took place in "gravity." look at this. >> explore! transport to bay area! >> all right. so here is what's going on. a cooling pump has apparently stopped working. this is significant because that cooling pump keeps the space station systems actually working. that includes life support. there are currently six astronauts, including two americans on board. we're told that they can't fix

one drunk male drove the car to i think his house. >> right. >> got out. said okay, next guy drives. next guy got in -- >> a chain of driving and she wound up with the car. and through social media, the local police authorities determined that these three teens had an awareness of her being drunk and therefore decided to charge these three teens with wrecklessness in her death. >> whose car was she driving? >> she was driving someone else's car at that time. so what happened is there is a moral ambiguity. there is a legal ambiguity in this country. very often, unfortunately, we've seen people getting into cars. we try and take their keys away. we say, don't drive and then they drive anyway. should you and i be charged with wreckless endangerment in situations like that? should parking valets, should people running garages, people running big weddings? they say yeah, you can take the car. think of the case of aaron cox

>> they've got the nominees for the golden globes coming up in hollywood. >> kind of a solemn moment for something that should be celebratory. >> 'cause they are still up too early. they were probably at a laker game last night. >> you think so? >> not to stereotype. >> 16 minutes before the top of the hour. >> i'll take it from here. we're talking about people seeking unemployment benefits. we will analyze the numbers right after this break

we've got quick headlines for you now. the fcc is holding a vote today on whether air passengers should be allowed to talk on their cell phones while on the airplane. according to a new quinnipiac poll, 60% of americans don't want that to happen. they would fly in peace -- they would like. and thousands of people don't have mail. yahoo mail down since monday night. the company blames the problem

on hardware. it's always something. >> we told you about these numbers before. here is the business alert. the labor department releasing these weekly jobless numbers. 368,000 first-time unemployment claims were filed last week. that's the largest increase in more than a year. when we're supposed to be adding job, i thought, because of the holidays. nicole petallides joins us live from the new york stock exchange to do her weekly instant analysis on those numbers. are you surprised by it? >> the instant analysis is this is a big surprise. the jobless claims came in worst than expected. they are even higher than any analyst had anticipated. so you have the number here, 368,000 claims above the survey of 320,000. and it's interesting because it comes less than a week after we got the monthly number where last week showed unemployment rate fell to a five-year low. the weekly claims may be -- at least in part -- affected by the thanksgiving holiday. we will continue to follow the

weekly numbers, which sometimes can be a little more volatile. >> but when you think about the companies that are adding people just for the holiday traffic, i would think even if it's part-time that number would be affected positively. not negatively. do you? >> i think you're going to have people who are part-time who are going to be on board. the last numbers we had the government workers who were furloughed and then back on. so we've had a lot of wild cards with these numbers. overall, the feeling is that the economy has been improving. housing prices have been improving. and even retail sales came out this morning and showed good numbers. i wanted to tell you, three names to watch today. facebook, which will be going into the s & p 500. that's been a great one. southwest airlines, which got an upgrade over bank of america merrill lynch. and lululemon, maybe a lot of people know their yogawear. they came out with a warning that the sales are not looking as good as they hoped. sales down 8, 9%. >> and the ceo left yesterday. nicole petallides down at the stock exchange. thank you.

11 minutes before the top of the hour. the sign language fake fessing up this morning. that guy, as it turns out, was an imposter, but he's broken his silence. he'll tell us what he was thinking. but first we'll check in with martha mccallum for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning. hi, everybody. very good, brian. >> thank you. >> what is he doing? >> saying he loves you. >> cpr. >> anyway. here we go. we've got a good show coming up this morning on "america's newsroom." this question, is obamacare potentially election dooming for democrats? bret bare is here on that and a frightening e-mail that says if you signed up for the health care system, you may not be covered, folks. the sexiest man alive to the rescue? could be. bill and i see you at the top of the hour

couple of days ago we showed you the president of the united states appearing at the nelson mandela memorial speaking. it turns out over when the president was speaking, that fellow who is signing right there was signing for our president. as it turns out, people who know sign language said that guy is not speaking any sign language ever known. it's just complete jibberish. >> right. >> he's a fake! >> he said that he suffers from schizophrenia, that he knew what was happening but couldn't get out of it. those who really need and benefit from hearing the speech -- listening and watching to what he was motioning, they couldn't see it to hear the real speech. >> you have 100,000 people watching him. is there anyone there that says,

this guy is a fake? by the way, let's say he had ugly intentions. did anyone do a background check on a schizophrenic that doesn't know sign language but signing for the whole world? >> this wasn't his first rodeo. >> for the president of south africa, he was not making sense then as well. apparently he works for a sign language company. the owners have vanished. meanwhile, so that's not good. what happened there. however, this is great. a little girl whose parents are deaf wanted to make sure that her parents were out of t christmas celebration at her school and so she signed this song. watch this. ♪

>> what a sweet girl. she did it for both of her parents. they're both deaf and she did it the entire song for them. >> she not only used sign language, she used hilarious facial expressions. >> heartwarming. >> it looks like some of the other kids are doing it once in a while. they do teach sign language a lot of times in schools. >> they absolutely do. the kids, they're able to learn it and they love to be able to communicate that way for those who cannot hear. >> fantastic. i believe her mom, lohry, is the one with the video camera. >> we're going to come back and say something substantial as "fox & friends" wraps up. ♪ ♪

>> just happened. this book "george washington secret six" is number three on

the times list. and charles krauthammer and bill o'reilly right ahead of us. incredible. thanks to everybody that got the book. i appreciate it. the villages tomorrow and the ritz. >> are you here tomorrow for the show? >> nope. see you tomorrow. >> bye. bill: a fox news alert. the obama administration making a big splash about the numbers of those who actually even rolled in obamacare. martha: the white house says 364,000 americans have signed up on the exchanges. it's a long way from their target of 7 million which they said they would reach by
