that was cool. and on saturday i interviewed sylvester and robert deniro for their movie. on sunday my son and i went to the giants game and that guy there in the middle, harry carson. with his friends connor and andrew. >> nobody likes this program better than our friend greg norman who sponsored that shootout. >> great guy. incredible what he's done with his life and incredible family. >> what about you? i saw you on twitter last night. >> i was on twitter last night. i had a severe case of brutitis which is when a nonnatural blonde encounters roots that -- >> what is it called? >> rootititis. it is could have had under

obamacare. i'm sore from shoveling. that's what i did. i did travel, took care of the roots and then the snow. >> how deep was your snow? >> pretty deep. maybe six inches. it was slushy and ice. >> we had about that much ice on top of snow. i'll tell you what. it was a killer. my wife is probably going to have to have another advil today. >> a repeat of "wonderful life." you know what i did? i played defense. i said i'm betting it's going to rain tomorrow, and it's gone. >> to your point, i wish i did not shovel. >> any way, we had very exciting weekends. hope you did as well. we'll show that picture of elisabeth's hair in a little bit. >> you know what, you've got to figure the federal government is a little sore at this new report.

house oversight is about to release later today a report that shows, you know those navigators, those people hired -- although they didn't submit to a background check -- to go ahead and sell people, try to sign people up for obamacare, as it turns out, a lot of them were never certified, not properly trained. but also others told people to underreport their income so they would qualify for subsidies. in one case i know that a navigator said, oh, you're a smoker? don't tell the federal government that because then your premium's going to go way up. so, smoker, no smoker. fraud. >> they may not have done the 5 to 20 hour training. but that doesn't matter because they're breaking rules any way. they need to learn the rules to break them apparently. according to the findings of this committee, the violations are broad here. so we have, if you could see up here, we have mismanagement is what was found. the navigators actually

induced fraudulent behavior. a real threat to the safety of consumers' personally identifiable information such as social security number, yearly income and other sensitive tax information according to report. >> there was a lack of oversight. the only reason they found this out, by listening to some of these navigators give an interview on television talking about giving incorrect information, telling applicants eroepb news thing like -- erroneous things like credit scores are going to matter. it came to life when a certified navigator came on television giving an interview. they have a series of mistakes the navigators made who are out there to help us avoid a series of mistakes we're doing as users. some of this stuff was actually cited on the "new york times" but mostly it was in the bright bar.com. >> mailing applications for applicants, which is not allowed; is it? >> it seems these unqualified, uncertified navigators, can you really

even trust them? we've heard that there's a possibility -- yeah, we might have hired some convicted felons. that's not for me. that's from the boss. listen to her. >> isn't it true that there is no federal requirement for navigators to undergo a criminal background check even though they will receive personal -- sensitive personal information from the individuals they helped sign up for the affordable care act? >> that is true. states could add an additional background checks and other features, but it is not part of the federal requirement. >> so a convicted felon could be a navigator and could acquire sensitive personal information from an individual unbeknownst to them? >> that is possible. >> that didn't even address the fraud. >> exactly. >> right. we can't be surprised if they fall short because there is no oversight and we don't even know their background checks.

we can't get background checks on them. charles krauthammer who has the number-one book in the country has been doing interviews. he hopped on pbs. if you do any rundown, it should lead to obamacare. good and bad stories are coming out at a massive rate and the president's numbers are suffering because of it. it makes people prove he had a wasted first year. charles krauthammer was surprised when the number one story coming from pbs was this alleged fighting between tea party's heritage foundation and the speaker of the house. listen to charles on pbs. >> i love how you guys just can't wait to get your teeth into republicans throwing mud at republicans on a week when this administration unilaterally or lawlessly changed every deadline in the obamacare law without any legal authority in a way that is absolutely astonishing. but you won't hear about this on this show. >> we just did.

disease. first of all, a lack of personal responsibility is not a disease. it is a choice. that choice stems from our very moral core that plays with it and says this is the right thing to do, this is the wrong thing to do. then we have a judge that comes along and says that you don't have to impose consequences based on the fact that your parents had money. how stupid is that? what an attack on people who have done well, worked hard, become affluent and are doing a great job teaching their kids to be responsible. it has nothing to do with whether you have money or don't have money. it comes down to good parenting. and this guy got off for a stupid reason. and the judge should be ashamed. >> that's just it. it's one thing for the defense attorney. they've got to come up with something. they came wup that. the -- they came up with that. the judge fell for that cockamamie excuse. what kind of a jam does that put parents in?

you want to provide for your children but now somebody looks at this and says if my kids come from a successful family they might not have to work as hard. they might use that as an excuse going forward. >> i think the whole attack about having money, that's just a load of crap. there's nothing that backs that up that says if you have money that you're going to raise kids who are not responsible. that is not fair to people who have done well, as i said, and become affluent. the other problem i see is that it creates more disrespect for our legal system and drives a bigger wedge between the haves and have-nots. so people who have not done well get to say those lucky rich people, they don't ever have anything done to them. the legal system always takes care of them. and that's the dangerous message, i believe. >> you're uniquely qualified to answer this question. you said you grew up poor. initially when you were married with kids, they were poor. you became affluent later. was it harder once you had

money to get your values and morals across? >> no. actually i believe it might have been easier because i told them and showed them through my results that if you do the right thing, take responsibility for your actions, work hard and become affluent, then that's what you really should be striving for. again, being responsible has nothing to do with money. there are poor parents who do a great job teaching personal responsibility. but there are rich parents who also do areat job teaching personal responsibility. it's not about the money. it's about your willingness as a parent to sit down and teach your kids what that means and to impose consequences. right now we live in a spoet where we don't -- we live in a society where we don't impose consequences when we see bad behavior. that is the problem. >> that is the problem. larry wingate's latest book is called grow a pair. the quote from that segment right there, affluenza is a

a night of christmas shopping takes a horrifying turn in that state. a husband shot dead right in front of his wife outside one of the fanciest shopping malls in the united states. two suspects approaching the couple in a parking lot. the husband had just opened the door for his wife and then he was getting into the driver's seat when he was shot. >> they had been shopping. they had just left the mall and going to their vehicle. >> happened about 9:00 p.m. last night. the two carjackers making off with the victim's car. a 2012 silver range rover. they are still on the loose. police need your help trying to find these men. with the busy shopping season, law enforcement across the country offering a a few safety tips. park in well lit areas, be aware of your surroundings, have your keys ready before get not guilty the car, don't shop alone at night. look in your car before you get inside. sounds like that would not have

helped. she went from newly wed to widow in just a couple of hours. army ranger william knight and his new wife were driving to their wedding reception in indiana when they came upon a stranded driver. his wife wanted him to keep on driving, but knight felt he had to stop. it was that sense of duty that cost him his life. knight and the stranded driver were hit and killed by three passing cars. >> he was just being a good samaritan. unfortunately it cost him his life. >> he would stop and help anybody in any way, shape or form. >> all of the drivers stopped at the scene to try to help. it's believed they lost control of their vehicles because the car -- the roads were so slick there. knight was 49 years old. he leaves behind a wife, two daughters, a stepdaughter and a stepson. the lone victim of the colorado school shooting is fighting for her life. 17-year-old claire davis was shot at point-blank range by 18-year-old karl pierson in

school on friday. colorado's governor visiting the hospital where davis now remains in a coma at this hour. pierson's main target was the school librarian who kicked him off the debate team of the pierson set off a bomb in the library and fired off five rounds before he turned the gun on himself. but his friends say he's not a violent guy. listen. >> he had been through elementary school, he was always there for me. i don't want people to see him as this monster. i mean, yes, he did something bad. yes, it ended badly. but he's so much better than this. >> that school is closed today. now a cute story finally. a curious kid gives pope francis a little surprise during a visit to the vatican's medical center for children. watch this as he snatches the pope's cap right off his head, but the pope doesn't seem to mind. he's all smiles. for a moment it looks like the

cap snatcher had an amazing souvenir. right? but the leader of the catholic church retrieved his headwear and returned it to his rightful place right on his head. those are your headlines at this hour. one cute little story to bring you. there is some tough stuff going on this morning. >> there is. >> this is the second incident the pope had with the child. >> the last one the kid stole his chair and stole the scene. >> that's right. remember that? >> all right. see you later. one thing you can count on us over the last couple of years we've been talking about obamacare and what it would mean to you and now it's been rolled out for a couple of months and it hasn't worked well. in washington state, their web site has been down a second week and now we're learning that in washington state, apparently there is some sort of -- another glitch in the system, another bug in the system where people are having money taken out of their accounts not when it's supposed to and perhaps double

the amount. all sorts of things are going wrong. >> you talk about coming out of your debit account, it's everyone's nightmare. joining us now, a guy with a lot to debit, and that is donald trump. donald, welcome back. >> good morning. >> it's got to be monday if you're with us. you heard steve describe the story. can you believe it's got to this level? if you want to hit somebody in the pocketbook, go into their checking account without them knowing it. >> it's amazing what's happening. it's a complete mess. there has never been probably anything like it. i've never seen anything. it shows the gross imcompetence of what's going on. i've never seen anything quite like it. >> what's crazy is the editorial in the "new york times" today, you would think is the smoothest run operation since you fixed the w oman rink. >> i was going to sayoing to die of its own weight and it will be dying of its own weight. it's getting worse and worse. the web site is still way, way, way far away from work. it could be years before that thing really works properly. what they're doing is they're

just taking all the checks and balances out of it. if you just put it on, you think you qualify. the problem is, the insurance companies, they don't know. nobody knows what you have, so people think they have now health insurance. they don't have anything. nobody knows what's happening. the plans are not work. the sad thing is 55 million people were taken off plans that they love. and that's, by the way, raising all the time. so it's a real problem. it's very unfair. we had a system and we could have taken that system and made it really, really good and instead, we blew up the system that worked for many people. >> you are absolutely right about that. good morning. >> good morning, elisabeth. >> question for you here. should we be calling you or could we be calling you governor trump pretty soon? there is word out today that you could be setting the table for a gubernatorial run. can that be true? a ton of people would be happy about that. >> it's very interesting. a lot of the republican leaders from new york came to see me last week and they wanted me to

do that. i'll make a decision at some time pretty soon, i think. but it was not what i had in mind. they came and they wanted -- very strongly wanted to see me and very strongly want me to do it. new york state has a lot of problems. we have the highest taxes in the nation, which people are not exactly thrilled about. and there is no reason to have that. and there are a lot of other problems. let's see what happens. i had something else in mind. this was not actually something i wanted to do. i love the state. i love the country, but they feel very strongly about it. at some point i'll make a decision. >> what else did you have in mind? >> well, i had something else in mind. >> what was it? >> well, let's -- >> it was president. >> it's actually -- we'll talk about that during commercial. it's interesting, what's going on. there are lots of things. i also love what i'm doing more than anything. i just love what i'm doing. as you know, we opened the blue

monster, you know about that. we just opened the blue monster over the weekend on saturday. we had a big ribbon cutting down at dural and it was fantastic in miami. 800-acres in the middle of miami i'm rebuilding it. it's great. but we have a lot of interesting things. but new york state is in trouble. there is no question about it. >> if you look at what's been happening on the federal level, with this president, his gigantic rollout and it's gone so badly on so many different levels and people are going, we told you ahead of time, this is somebody who had never run anything before. to your point, whether it's governor or running for president, you're somebody who has a lot of experience running things that work out okay. >> what really is hard for me to believe is that if this was his legacy, he got it passed by one vote. he got it passed with a lie. because when he made the statement about you can keep your plan, you'll keep your doctor, the whole thing, everything, so many times, like 29 times or 34 times.

i see different things. he got it passed by one vote. had he not said that, it could never have passed. and you would think that the web site would have been flawless. you would have thought that he would have been meeting with these people every day. he would never have chosen the people that were chosen because they're in litigation all overt place for having done a very poor job at other locations on much smaller, ease your places. so you would have thought where so much was riding on the success of obamacare would have been absolutely fantastic with respect to -- he would have been meeting with people every day. he should have called microsoft. he should have called google or any one of the great companies they could have done this stuff blindfolded and he said that he had nothing to do with it. how can you have nothing to do with it when your whole legacy is riding on obamacare? now obamacare is a total disaster and it's embarrassing to everybody, including the country itself. 'cause what's going on with the country, the whole world is talking about what a disaster this thing is.

so anyway, it's dying of its own weight. it's based on lies and unfortunately, much of the administration is based on lies. >> right. china is challenging us at sea, the ukraine is asking for help and we have to send a senator over there to let them know we are there for him. it's pretty bad. i think most people, and i thought it was very telling that most democrats are admitting it was a wasted year one of the second term. >> i think worst than waste, wasted would be like nothing happened. only bad things happened. if you look at what's going on, so many bad things happened. it's interesting, you think something like benghazi and people don't talk about that much, it never resonates, it's such a horrible thing, but i don't know that it ever will resonate. the things that happened to us, we are not the same country that we were in terms of respect, in terms of so many other things. this wasn't really a wasted year. this was a negative year. >> a lost year. donald trump, congratulations

on -- good job. we'll see you at the 19th hole sometime. >> absolutely. i look forward to it and see you next monday. >> thank you. 12 minutes after the top of the hour. it would not be christmas without an atheist okay did she dash attack on christians. another sure sign of christmas, people being trampled , what in the world are they trying to buy? ♪ ♪

well, it wouldn't be christmas without someone complaining about christ. the latest attack right here in new york city where atheists put up this billboard t. asks, quote, who needs christ during christmas? nobody. end quote. my next guest, an advocate for christianity disagrees and is giving them a taste of their own medicine. ken ham is the president and founder of answers in genesis. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning and merry christmas. >> merry christmas is right. you heard about this billboard up in new york city. what was your reaction to that? >> you know, the atheists, who have very small minority in the population, have been trying to impose their religion of atheism on the culture for quite a while, getting bible, prayer out of schools, christian symbols out of public places and conducted a very aggressive billboard campaign the last couple years. last year there in times square they had a billboard that says keep the merry, dump the myth, and that was jesus. and because they're becoming so aggressive, i feel it's really

time that christians really stood up in this culture to take on the atheists and to proclaim their message of hope. because we have a real message of hope. what's the atheist message? there is no god, when you die, that's the end of you so everything is meaningless and hopelessness? let them promote their own message and their message of hopelessness. what they do is attack christianity. and they attack the lord jesus christ. >> there is a difference to your point between letting someone have it and attacking what someone has. you put up your own billboard and we have an image of that here. what did it say? >> we certainly did. well, ours says to owl our atheist friends, 'cause we're all related, we go back to adam. -- all he wants for christmas is you." we're talking about jesus, the lord jesus christ. then we put up the verse from john 3:16, for god so loved the world that they gave his only son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. our message to atheists is we're

not attack you personally, but we want you to know the truth, that there is a god who created you and you are sinners, as all of us are, but that god sent his son to become the babe in a manger and that's what christmas is all about. remembering christ, god's son, who came to die on the cross for our sin, be raised from the dead. that's why we give free gifts, we freely give gifts to remind us of the free gift of salvation. >> american people seem to agree. they were asked in a poll, should christmas be more about jesus or santa? and 67% said jesus. only 17% said santa. to your point, they seem to be with you and happy for everyone to just be kind and let everyone worship as they may. right? >> well, the majority of people actually support christ in christmas. majority of people do support that. the atheists are only a small part of the population and really it's that minority, less than 2% of the population that seem to be having such say in

our culture in imposing their anti-god religion. you got to remember something, when you get rid of christ out of christmas, it's now not mutual. the bible says you're either for christ or against. what they're really doing, the atheists, wanting to impose their anti-god religion on us, on the culture. and so we need to stand up against that. that's why we put up this billboard in duffy square and we will continue to do such things. >> thanks for being with us this morning. certainly standing up for your faith. >> thank you. >> take care. coming up, your comments are pouring in on this story. a drunk teen mows down four people but gets to skip jail. why? because he is, quote, a victim of his own family's wealth. we're going to read your comments on that. and have you seen this video? the united states band surprising visitors at the smithsonian. they will perform right here on "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ ♪

"anchorman" is looming. >> thank you, brian. imagine you're visiting a quiet museum in washington, d.c. and all of a sudden, that breaks out ♪ ♪ let men their songs employ ♪ ♪ >> that is a flash mob and it appeared last week at the national air and space museum on the mall in washington, d.c joining us right now live from that museum is commander and conductor of the u.s. air force band, colonel larry lang, and behind him, the singing sergeant. good morning to you. >> hey, how are you doing there? >> doing okay. we're suckers for a good flash mob. tell us how -- first of all, why did you do it? >> we're always looking for creative ways to get our music out into the public and the flash mob idea came up last summe to reach

them in an unusual and interesting way. we do a lot of things on the internet. so this is just one more step in that direction. it was just a lot of fun putting this together and a chance for the entire air force band to come together for this very special event with the air and space museum. >> and it all started with that single sergeant right there, ed, playing the cello and then the guys and gals started bringing things in. what do you think the people who were there at the museum were thinking was happening? >> i think they were just delighted as it developed because as you say, ed is such a fine musician to start with. then we added all these other great musicians around him and it just built and built and built. then we added the chorus up in the balcony, which surprised everybody, as we went into the middle of it. and then the ceremonial brass who play at arlington cemetery

came out to join us and did this wonderful fanfare. and then the whole band joined in. in total, it was about 130 people there at the air and space museum. fantastic. >> i watched the whole video. it is just sensational. it's so inspirational and so moving to see all the men and women in uniform playing the instruments. what's the reaction been from your bosses and people in the pentagon? they got to be happy. >> they are. we're all very proud of the product because what it does is it demonstrates the kind of excellence and professionalism that is across the air force. we have over 500,000 airmen serving around the world and what we did is just a little spotlight of what the air force does each and every day. >> well, we have seen the flash mob. and coming up in the next hour, we've got a full performance from the air force band in the

next hour. and he is surrounded by the singing sergeants. do you have to be a sergeant to be in the singing sergeants? >> well, it works out that way. each and every one of them are professional enlisted airmen in the united states air force and yes, each and every one is a sergeant. >> that's great. we're going to hear from them in about an hour. colonel, we thank you very much for joining us from the national air and space museum in washington. get ready, you're coming up in the next hour. >> absolute pleasure. thank you very much. >> all right. thank you. coming up straight ahead, they were caught on camera, people being trampled, doors ripped off. what in the world were they trying to buy? you're not going to believe it. nothing says christmas like a twang. the latest technology puts you in the driver's seat. by the way, you can use your ipad, of course. ♪ ♪

because he's a victim of his family's wealth. he reportedly lived in his own mansion where he threw wild parties. the story is spurring a whole lot of outrage about parental responsibility. here is what larry winget had to say about it on "fox & friends" earlier. >> being responsible has nothing to do with money. there are poor parents who do a great job teaching personal responsibility. but there are rich parents who also do a great job teaching personal responsibility. it's not about the money. it's about your willingness as a parent to sit down and teach your kid what that means and impose consequences. >> couch was sentenced to ten years probation rather than the 20-year sentence the prosecutors pushed for. so we asked you and we're getting a lot of comments about this so-called aziza disease. >> one said the why should get a

sff -- affluenza shot. another said, i didn't get away with anything. those are your headlines at this hour. remember spare the rod, spoil the child? that's one thing my dad always said. >> it has a lot to do with the parents. >> it's a change. >> see you later. heather is inside. we're inside where it's nice and warm. maria molina is outside where currently it is on the streets of new york city, 26 degrees. >> 26 degrees. you factor in a little breeze and it feels even colder than that. ask folks from alabama how chilly it is here. you ever injure jackets and visiting on a tourist trip, right? >> yes. just for vacation. >> what are you doing today? >> we're going to ellis island and statue of liberty and the uss intrepid. >> and the space shuttle is there. >> i'm a history buff. >> thank you for stopping by this morning.

let's look at the weather conditions across the country. it's not just cold here in the northeast burks also cold across portions of the midwest, like in minneapolis where it's even colder. it feels like 10 below zero. your actual high temperatures will stay below average across the midwest, great lakes and the northeast. new york city, the high temperature only 28 degrees. while we're not really expecting any precipitation today, we are going to have a clipper system swinging through the northeast producing some snow. otherwise the rest of the country look very quiet in terms of any snowfall or precipitation. here is a look at the forecast. new york city tomorrow, 1.6 inches of snow forecast. but in the new england area, more than six inches of snow. that's in addition to the storms that already impacted the region over the weekend that dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of new england. now let's head over to you, brian. >> we stay indoors, but it was cold yesterday. i know i watched the giant game. let's talk football. most dominant performance the seahawks traveled to met life stadium to beat the giants and waste all my money.

manning was terrible. five picks. seattle was great. in the end, seattle would win 23-0. guess what in a dealership is giving away 470,000 if seattle actually got the shut-out. 12 lucky fans split $435,000. good job, seahawks. bad job, giants. that's quick look at what's happening in the world of sports. meanwhile, lionel trains are a christmas time tradition. only this year the model train company has upped its game with new technology. >> it's impossible. >> no, it's true, according it howard hitchcock, the general manager of lionel trains. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you? >> lionel trains. >> it's 113-year-old company synonymous with christmas. everyone remembers running their train around the tree. we created our new remote system and it's all about engaging the youth and interactivity. so now instead of -- everybody remembers the old transforger. you don't have to have that.

that's wi-fi connect that had allows us -- it's not part of lds, but a component of lds, where it preprograms the sequence of events. every time that train drives over this track, it will blow its horn three times. >> this is outstanding. over the years, lionel trains and christmas are pretty much synonymous. but to bring it into the tech world, it's something else. >> we're really trying to make something different. this train here, back in the olden days -- this is thomas. he comes in a set, too. what you'll notice is i'm actually driving thomas independent of this. the older -- >> it's chaos! >> there goes thomas. >> the older transformer set we used to have to control -- we're going to have a collision. >> go, train, go. >> the thomas the train itself

ideas that could fix america's broken health care system. for example -- >> criticizing it, don't seem to have any ideas in terms of how to reduce costs, insure millions of people to get coverage for the first time. i will work with anybody to implement and improve this law effectively. you got good ideas? bring them to me. i'd be happy to listen. that's not what's happening. >> our next guest says not true. congressman tom price is a republican from georgia. he said he's got a proposal that could save this country trillions of dollars. good morning and welcome. >> thanks so much. >> here is your idea, the president asked you for an idea. what is it? >> we put patients and families and doctors in charge of health care as opposed to washington, d.c when the president says that, the american people know he's not telling the truth. we've had plans for three or four years that would fundamentally change the health care system. so again, patients and families and doctors are making decisions. not washington, d.c we've got to make it so the folks can get health coverage. but it's coverage that they want.

not that the government forces them to buy. >> what are the basic differences in -- purchasing across state lines? >> purchasing across state lines, equalize the tax treatment for individuals so folks have the same tax incentive to purchase health coverage as businesses. you make it so every single american has the financial feasibility to make deductions through credits and advancable credits. and wonderful ways to save hundreds of billions of dollars in health care by ending the practice of defensive medicine. >> not only do you know this and are you on the advice chair of the budget committee in the house, but also a doctor. so this is what -- i imagine could have been somewhat of a surprise, but pleasant surprise, former cbo director said this, it will produce $2.34 trillion in savings over the next ten years. it will create smaller premium increases than the affordable care act. and the number of insured could increase by 29% in 2016. you handle people with preexisting condition. >> we do, by making it so they can get the coverage that they want.

not that the government forces them to buy. the problem with the president's plan is that if they don't think your preexisting condition is a preexisting condition, you're out of luck because nobody wins an appeal with the federal government. we allow people to pool together with millions of other americans so you get the purchasing power of millions so one person's adverse health condition doesn't drive up the costs for others. >> so the government who decides -- >> they're going to define what panel, what doctors you can see, what drugs you can take, what formulary of drugs will be available to you. this is just beginning to unfold and the american people know it's wrong. >> so you've answered the president's question, if you ever good ideas, i want to hear it. you're saying, i'm not going to fix your plan, mr. president. it's not fixable. you're saying, go with my plan. when will this be presented? >> we've presented it, hr 2300. this is the third congress this has been introduced. we had it when the president made his statements early on with obamacare. if you've got another idea, give us a call. let us know.

we've actually called him. we've contacted the white house repeatedly. it's crickets. the fact is they don't want to talk about the quality of health care, accessibility to health care, affordability. they want the government to control health care. >> do you have obamacare? >> we're forced on to it because of the law, yeah. >> what have you found? >> so far that's more expensive than what i had previously and as i'm able to determine, it looks like the panels are going to be smaller. that's going to be true for the vast majority of the american people as they work through this and we see that it's going to cost more, accessability will be less and the quality i believe will be less as well. that's not right. that's not what the american people want. >> we have the support behind you on this in terms of what i read so far. so we wish you well, congressman. thank you for being here. >> thank you so much. merry christmas to you. >> you would think as a doctor you would be invaluable in congress, but yet you have to sit there and not get any response from the white house. >> shocking. >> 11 minutes before the top of the hour. >> so you just heard an alternative to obamacare.

obama navigators are reportedly purposely telling people to underreport their income so they would qualify tore subsidies, all the while putting your information at risk, no background checks. what's your take on that and what's worse? >> this is a report that's out today from the house government oversight reform committee chairman darrell issa, holding a field hearing outside of dallas this afternoon. we've obt report that they are putting out this afternoon. it's pretty detailed and it has all kinds of allegations in there about these navigators. one of them, as you mentioned, they have specific allegations of incidents where navigators told people to essentially deflate their income to get subsidies. others said that they would mail in the application so that they took in the applications and they filled out the applications for them and they mailed them in for the applicants.

and a host of other charges. the main one, though, is about not knowing whether these navigators have checked through background checks and how they're handling personal information. there have been a couple incidents with social security numbers and other personal information that really is raising questions. they're going to go over that in detail at this field hearing outside dallas this afternoon. >> in fact, as you know, we heard not long ago from kathleen sebelius, yeah, we don't know if we hired convicted felons. what's troubling about the fact that you've got these navigators telling people to deflate your income so you get a subsidy, a subsidy really, it's fraud on a number of levels. but that money is coming from all of us to help the people who truly need help paying their bills. >> sure. there is a stipulation that a certain number and a percentage of below that percentage get the subsidies. those are all taxpayer dollars,

you're right. those are the folks that will get the assistance on this program. there are a lot of questions here as we get towards the end of the year and up until this point, this has all been talking about web sites and kind of eherial stuff. january 1, you're talking about health care and people going to doctors and saying, i need to be treated and there will be real world consequences after the first of the year. >> you can't get into the airport without i.d your story might be real, but if you don't have i.d., it won't work. like health care. i got to tell you, first off, i was listening to brit hume yesterday on fox news sunday and he's saying right now people with preexisting conditions are finding insurance companies not paying on all of them. there is a way of them getting around paying them or there is a glitch or bug in the system. have you heard that? >> yeah.

i heard brit yesterday and i've heard stories of this. i think there are a lot of things that we're just learning about how this all is working out in coming weeks. how it's all coming together. there are a lot of different elements -- because it's all changed. doctors will tell you they're finding out as they're going along here. every deadline has shifted. december 23rd has shifted with the administration asking for it to be shifted to december 31st for insurers to accept enrollees, and then cover them on january 1st. a lot of deadlines have been shifted and a lot of things will change. i think we're all learning different aspects of it. >> sure. big gap between what's being said and what's being done it seems. when we hear the president say, if republicans have ideas, bring them to me. i'll take a look. well, we talked to congressman tom price today and listen to what he had to say about that.

>> when the president made his statements early on with obamacare, if you've got another idea, give us a call. let us know. we actually called him. we've contacted the white house repeatedly and silence. crickets. the fact is they don't want to talk about the quality of health care, access ability, affordability of health care. they want the government to control health care. >> disheartening to hear that. >> because his plan, he says the former cbo guy said it would save trillions over the next ten years. >> yeah. congressman price has one plan, hr 2300. he have put it forward in three congresses. it's one of several republican plans. there are actually number of them out there. the problem for republicans is they haven't coalesced around one of them. and they haven't really pushed one alternative. that's an issue. >> let's talk about the budget real quick. it passed the house. anything but easy in the senate. senator dick durbin says he needs eight republican votes. what's the latest head count you

hear? >> i just got off the phone this morning and it's going to be tight. it's going to be really tight. they may get to 60. it's expected to pass. i thought earlier this week that it was going to roll through. that's not the case. it's going to be a tight vote. scheduled for crow -- cloture on tuesday. final vote on wednesday. senator lindsey graham has a real problem with the military pension reduction. that's a cutback of 1%. he has a real problem with that, like, for example, if you're a master sergeant at 42 and you retire, over the next 20 years, that's $72,000 you're taking out of your paycheck. but if you deal with that, it's kind of like a ball of yarn. if you start pulling the string, the whole thing falls apart because then you'd have to deal with the federal workers' pension on the other side, otherwise the left and their concerns about all of that would unravel as well. >> yeah.

it's going to be interesting. i know senator mccain said yeah, i'm in. i haven't heard any other republicans coming forward saying that. we'll check with you again in "special report" at 6:00 o'clock. you going to be ready? >> i'll be ready. >> good. >> thanks. >> we'll be watching. 8 minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert has got some headlines. >> good morning to you. we start off with a fox news alert right now. two suspected terrorists have been set free from the prison at guantanamo bay. according to the pentagon, the two men were sent back to saudi arabia this week and they have been cleared of any wrongdoing. this just two weeks after a separate release of two algerian prisoners who returned to their home country as well. many say it's a part of an ongoing effort by the white house to reduce the population at guantanamo bay. the president promised to close it back in 2009. we'll keep watching this story for you as it develops. new overnight, christmas shopping for a new jersey couple takes a horrifying turn. a husband shot dead in front of

we've heard a lot about obamacare delays over the last couple of months. so what's the holdup? this morning we might know. according to a new report from the administrative conference of

the united states, many proposals took longer because of concerns about agencies issuing costlier controversial rules prior to the november 2012 election. does that mean the white house, who is putting politics before people because that's what it sounds like? peter johnson, jr. knows about people and joins us. >> huge, huge -- look at me -- yes. huge. and i know we talk about regulation nation and there are so many regulations in this country. but sometimes regulations actually save lives and help people and there should be some transparency in government. "washington post," along with the government independent agency looked at what the obama administration was doing and found in three different areas, the obama administration delayed regulation in order to win reelection. yes, steve, they said we don't want to get people worked up. now in the "washington post," we have these off the record comments that they're making. we didn't do it because the republicans were upset about us.

this is a difficult environment. this is all nonsense. so let's look at what they did in terms of delaying things. first, in terms of environmental issues and pollution control. they delayed a proposal requiring cleaning glass in vehicles. they delayed coal disposal, water pollution and power plant emission standards. and then in terms of lakes and springs and estuaries, they delayed important regulations to make sure those bodies of water that are fisher -- our fishermen fish are protected. then workers safety. democrats say they're so interested about workers' safety. the afl-cio is slamming them hard now about national silica standards, things that cause lung diseases and say thousands of people will die or become ill because the federal government delayed. then finally, listen to this, on obamacare, because of reelection

in 2012, according to the "washington post" and this independent agency, they delayed regulations with regard to minimum coverage standards because the unions were upset and who could qualify for federal subsidies. in these three important areas in terms of health, safety, welfare and obamacare, they said, no, the president's reelection is more important. we're going to put politics over people. you people wait and now we have the effects of it. >> so they didn't want anything out there that would have people going oh, we don't like that, in particular the obamacare stuff. it looks like if you do anything to win, sometimes you lose, because they've got health care at the white house because people are upset. >> this is pulling the skin back even further. we all know about the president's unfortunate statement that turned out to be a lie about keeping your health plan, keeping your health coverage, keeping your doctor and then the dark of night they came in with the regulation and

said oh, no, we're going to pull that back. what they did in 2011 and 2012 is say, let's not do these regulations because we're going to incur the ire of the american people on a lot of issues. let's kind of stealthily sneak in and then do it later. but at the same time, some of these regulations were important in terms of helping all americans. they weren't political at all, but they perceived that they were and they said, oh, let's not take a risk. well, they took a risk with americans' lives and now americans are paying both in health care, environmental issues, and on workers' safety. thousands may die, according to the afl-cio based on these silica standards. that's wrong. hugely wrong. they should be angry about it. >> peter johnson, jr. >> good to see you. >> thank you very much. what do you think about that? e-mail us. 19 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, he's a gridiron superstar and the popular kid in school. but when he's not on the field, spends most of his time taking

65,000. it's a special bed that has water and sand and heat, so it creates air flow so the wounds don't become infected and get worse and allows them to heal. so instead of being on the hard surface, the sand and water allows the wounds to heal and gives it more better airway to let it breathe more than a regular surface. >> i'm looking at you and thinking, my goodness, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when i was a senior in high school before i left for college. i wish i had the maturity and the foresight that you have thinking of your mom right now. i know she means the world to you. tell everyone how you feel about her. >> first off, growing up it was really just me and my mom of the my mom has been my mother, my father, my sister, my brother, my aunt, my uncle. she's been everything to me. my mom is the driving force behind me. she motivates me to do everything. she's the one who keeps pushing me forward. there have times when things got tough, but seeing her smile and

eastern europe such as ukraine. john mccain there fighting back. you have the saudis attack the united states over iran for abandoning its friends in the middle east. meanwhile, you have obama and cameron gutting our militaries, both theirs and ours and you think back to the special relationship with churchill and roosevelt and hue they really united to save the world from hitler and japan at a time when the world needed it. i ask in the column, would there be that kind of will today if hitler were on the march today? i don't think we would have it. >> it seems like we're more into being liked, which is impossible. tony blair said this, america's biggest problem is they try to be liked. we should be respected. let me tell you something, in the ukraine, the soviet union is reassembling. they're taking belarus. half the ukraine wants to get there. we don't seem to be doing anything. in the big picture, don't you believe this ground was laid

with cameron and president obama when they couldn't get the syrians to go along with the action they proposed? >> that's true. but why couldn't they? my argument is that because they are not leaders. they have not convinced their countries of the national stakes and the international stakes of what is going on in the world. you can draw a red line any time as a chief executive. but if you don't have -- if you haven't prepared the ground for your own countries to defend that red line, if you are not a credible leader, then you have no support. you can't lead without support. so a leader has to gather support. a leader has to be able to lead by virtue of credibility, by virtue of clear principles. right now we have no clear principles in international policies except to retreat from the world, to hole will he out the military -- hollow out the military to pay for a welfare state. the brits are ahead of us in that. we're following that same social democratic course. and without the west, without america, without great britain

leading, there will be no global infrastructure, there will be no global security. >> we'll talk more about this on the radio shortly. thank you very much, michael. >> thank you. >> next up, let me tell you what's straight ahead, the united states air force band surprising visitors at the smithsonian. that band here live to perform. first let's check in with a woman who is always ready to perform, martha mccallum. but she can not play an instrument. >> yeah, maybe. we'll talk about that later. thank you very much. there is quite a bit going on this morning. we start with this terrible story. a man out christmas shopping with his wife is shot to death during a carjacking at an upscale mall and the manhunt is on this morning. could there be an amnesty deal in the works for edward snowden? thousands of obamacare applications never made it to the insurers. bill and i will join you with all that and much more at the top of the hour to share with family.
