they couldn't go to the restroom, couldn't get anything to eat. once you get out of line you lose your place. so the domino's guy was -- >> they can't have anything to drink. obamacare, day one, january 1. this is the day i guess the individual mandate begins. this is the official day one of obamacare. i think about five million americans have lost their health insurance because of the obamacare regulations. the administration says they've signed up about two million, so that's a net loss right now. they said they were shooting for a goal of about seven million to sign up. two million, they're a little bit short. now they're saying we never really had a goal of seven million, you know, a lot of people are struggling without health insurance and now people may be going to the doctor's and finding out today, you know what, i'm not enrolled. there will be some problems this year. >> a breakdown of the numbers. two million, that's federal and state exchange. they were hoping for 3.3

million by december 31, that 7 million number by march. just because they have enrolled doesn't mean they have necessarily paid and the obama administration is not saying how many have paid. the number of people heading to the doctor or going to the pharmacy trying to get their drug may actually be higher with that gap in coverage there. >> this is the true test. today is january 1. a lot of people are waiting to sign up because they want to see how this fares and plays out. despite those numbers, secretary sebelius says she's thrilled about the number of people who have signed up. one of our producerrers was out and stalked her and found her on the streets of d.c. and this is what she had to say. >> i'm thrilled that we're going to have millions of people for the first time that have health insurance. it should be a great new year for lots of families. >> the hiccups, how are you guys going to handle that? >> i'm sure there will be issues. there always are.

people change plans every year. these are private plans in the private market. there are millions of people who change their insurance coverage every day but we've had a lot of outreach with pharmacies and doctors and consumers to help make the transition as smooth as possible. >> do you expect more delays? >> no. >> any new year's resolutions? >> lots of people getting good health care in 2014. >> thank you. >> that producer is kimberly schwann. good job. >> i'm impressed. she said her new year's resolution was to have more people have health insurance. her new year's resolution should probably be keeping her job, okay because she's overseeing this disaster and now the obama administration is keeping her on. i guess if you let her go, you're admitting failure. she knows where all the bodies are buried. i know the d.c. health commissioner when he spoke out against the exchanges

was canned the next day but sebelius gets to keep her job. i think she is one strike away from losing it next year. >> we had another person step down a couple of days ago, i believe but nobody has been held accountable as far as really being fired for this and there's been an outcry from americans about this who are upset and insurance companies as well. can you imagine the instability we're going to see in the market because of all of this. the latest delay, or one of the latest delays we heard from the obama administration was that hardship exemption for a year which insurance really didn't get behind either. can you imagine what they're trying to do, trying to scam bell. any time there is sweeping change of anything in your life, any sort of sweeping change that is drastic, that leaves a lot of room for error. your health coverage is not something you want room left for error. >> not to mention the cost involved. many people are telling me their plans are

astronomical, not being raised just $100. hundreds of dollars each month. >> also involved in the obamacare rollout we have supreme court justice sonia sotomayor issuing an injunction on the contraception mandate. what that means is under obamacare a lot of religious organizations were forced to provide condoms, contraception, plan b. that's against their religious liberty. so they sued and it was going to the court system. and she has now stepped in at the last minute. this is just breaking. and said slow down a minute. the obama administration is going to have to file more papers. we're going to stop this issue, temporary exemption. these nuns are going to have to be passing out condoms to their employees, which is a good thing. temporarily. >> one of the most controversial parts of obamacare, we're asking for your thoughts on this as well, e-mail us at friend at fox news.com. we have other stories making headlines we want to get to on this first day of 2014.

former first lady barbara bush in a hospital in houston where she's receiving treatment for pneumonia since monday. according to a statement from president george h.w. bush, she is in great spirits and is getting fantastic care. the former first lady is 88 years old. starting today, colorado is officially in first place, the first place in the world where it's legal to sell marijuana to anyone over the age of 21, but colorado officials say sticking to the law is top priority. rules include buyers must be at the age of 21. it is illegal to sell to minors and the marijuana purchase cannot be taken out of the state. many colorado residents celebrating, some calling today green wednesday. an evacuation order in one north dakota is lifted this morning. residents were forced to leave their homes on monday night after a train carrying crude oil derailed and caught fire blowing toxic fumes into the winds

throughout the thoupb there. there were no injuries reported and now officials are giving the area an all clear. this is the third explosion in the last six months involving trains carrying crude oil in that area. 2014 has arrived, so how did you celebrate? >> 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! >> more than one million people braved the cold weather to watch the ball drop in times square. >> everything out here is just a new experience. i think everybody in the world should experience this at least once in their life. >> this is the place to be every new year's eve. it beats every other new year's eve party in the world. >> down south tens of thousands ringing in the new year in atlanta at the peach drop. in rio de janeiro millions watched fireworks explode. dubai pulled off the

decision to go back with a & e for another season. how did you, looking forward to 2014, how did you arrive at that decision to stay with the network? >> well, we're just ready -- i mean we're ready to get started. we've got a new season coming up in a couple of weeks and really excited about that. we'll be filming. we're ready to move on, you know, and i think we all learned a lot and we're ready to move on. the family's happy and ready to go. >> all right. they are probably keeping phil tied up in a shed right now so he won't say anything. but this is a business decision. 11 million viewers. i think a & e needs "duck dynasty" more than"duck dynasty" needs them. >> my dad sent me a list of new year's resolutions and one of them was forgive everyone for everything. no matter where you stand on this issue, we can all learn the lesson of

forgiveness. >> life is too short. coming up on "fox & friends," five million americans have lost their insurance but that number could grow. next, a breakdown of what's in store for obamacare in 2014 and you're not going to like it. >> got a gift card from target in your stocking? turns out it might be completely worthless. the latest set bach for the retail and what you need to know. ♪ ♪ oh! progress-oh!

obamacare proved itself to be problematic in 2013 and experts say 2014 may not be much better. some key obamacare dates this year could spell trouble for your health care and your wallet. the author of beating obamacare betsy mccoy joining us now. happy new year to you. january 1 the mandate kicks in. what does that mean for most americans? >> beginning today legal residents of the united states must have what the government defines as adequate health care coverage. so if you're not in medicare, that's for seniors, if you're not in medicaid -- that's for the poor -- if you're not on tricare for veterans, either your employer has to provide adequate coverage or you have to go out and buy it yourself. and that's why many people are being told they have to go to these obamacare exchanges and sign up for health care. but here's the irony. today millions more people

are uninsured than yesterday because of this law. on one side of the ledger, six million cancellations so far. you've heard about them. and many more people who have what are called mini med plans, those are going to be illegal now too. on the other side of the ledger 800,000 signed up for medicaid -- they're covered -- and two million supposedly enrolled in private health plans opbd exchanges. but some of those people haven't actually paid their premiums. >> they need to check to see if they're enrolled. the other important date, march 31. why is that important? spaeup >> that is end of open enrollment. that means you can sign up for health care. but there are many exceptions. if you change your address, change your family size, change your job, change your income, there are many reasons why you can sign up for obamacare after the open enrollment period. >> november 15, this other key date used to be in

october but they moved it. why did they do that? >> tricky. most political pundits say they moved it to avoid the mid term elections. don't forget there are big elections this november for the united states senate, for the united states house of representatives and democrats are so afraid that people will see how much higher premiums are next year, they're already up 41% this year compared with last year, so next year -- >> they don't want people going to the polls already seeing the premiums jacked up and taking it out on the democrats? >> they want to delay open enrollment next year until after the election. pretty cagey. >> it's political. december 31, the final key date. >> that is not going to be happy news because it is widely expected that even more millions of people will be uninsured than right now and here's why. employers are likely to do exactly what they did last year, anticipating the employer mandate which kicks in in 2015, employers are going to start pushing their workers into part-time status to avoid

the mandate. they're going to look at the cost of these new requirements for health insurance, the government-designed plan which adds $1.79 an hour to the cost of an employee. >> next year could be more tragic for americans -- thank you very much. coming up should drug tests be required for people who want welfare? a judge issuing a new ruling and you won't believe this decision. up next, the other calorie myths and what you need to know to keep the pound off in 2014. ♪ ♪

a quick look at some headlines. a federal judge in florida striking down a law requiring applicants for welfare benefits to undergo mandatory drug testing. governor rick scott back the testing, says he will appeal the decision. afghanistan president hamid karzai's government planning to release 88 prisoners including committed insurgents who attacked americans. the conflict, a new blow to the trust between karzai and american officials. >> the obesity rate in the united states is increasing in epic proportions. in 1990 not one stayed hat an obesity rate over 20% but by 2010 no state was

under 20%. here with a few myths about calories is nutrition expert and author of the book, the calorie myths, jonathan baylor. good morning to you, thanks for being with us. very timely. a lot of folks are waking up thinking about their new year's resolutions and taking off the pounds. the first myth is our body is a math problem. you say it is actually a biological organism. explain what you mean. >> it intuitively makes sense, look out the window, looks like the earth is flat, but it is wrong. our body is more complicated t. doesn't mean eating has to be complicated. it means the focus of calorie quantity rather than food quality has caused confusion and a lot of sickness. >> probably the best news i heard all day is eating fewer calories will make you burn fewer calories. eating more calories will make you burn more calories. how does that work? >> starvation isn't healthy. the fact that we have to

remind ourselves of this shows how odd our approach to health has become in this country. eating less makes your body slow down. we've experienced this. you get tired, cold and hungry. that is no way to live. you have to heal the body, not starve it, to lose weight long term. >> all calories are created equal. if i want to eat 500 calories of potato chips, that is not the same as eating salmon? >> that is why calorie counting is not the right approach. a can of soda is better for us than an avocado because it has 100% fewer calories but it is obviously not better for us. so a calorie is not a calorie. >> does that mean myth because of how we feel when we're eating or drinking it? >> there are four factors. how satisfied it makes us feel, the hormonal kpwa*bgt on our body, how many nutrients it provides and how likely the calorie will be stored as fat in our

body. >> all food are okay in moderation? also a myth. >> if you want to sell anything in our country, you need to convince the american population that everything you put in our mouth is fine in moderation. we don't say drink anything in moderation. drinking kerosene is not a good idea or breathe anything in moderation. we don't say smoke in moderation. we say smoking causes lung cancer. to the extent you can avoid it, you'll be healthy. that is not what we hear about food. we hear everything in moderation. that can't be true. >> when we have a bite of something, sometimes it makes us want more. jonathan baylor, you'll are here in part 2 # helping our viewers and helping us with our weight control in 2014. 27 minutes after the hour, next on the rundown, she mocked mitt romney's adopted grandson and now this msnbc host is issuing an apology. what she's saying this morning and are you going to buy it? why is jesse waters doing

service as you and they told us they were on an hour delay. what a mess if you're trying to get in. i said you don't understand i'm not coming back from some party. i got to get to work. >> they didn't care when i told them i have to be on tv and they're going to be 30 minutes late. >> i thought about walking. about two miles, i think. >> 60 miles, so i didn't think about that at all. >> revelers still strolling the streets. it is still a mess outside. they are cleaning, though, and it is miraculous. look at all that mess. that is all cleaned up already. >> the new york city people can do that well. other cities not so great. >> you guys set your resolutions this year? 40% of the people are going to make them. every year they say they're going to make them. you see everyone at the gym. but now 8% will keep them.

in a month when you go to the gym those same people won't be there. >> they bank on that. they bring them in low and you're thinking how can they let me work on this expensive equipment for $9 a month. >> the most popular is lose weight. >> smoking, quit smoking. january 2 everybody pwaoeuz pwaoeuz -- buys a pack of cigarettes. >> i like to make resolutions i know i'm going to keep and goals. this year was to travel more. i got to do a lot for work and i did a little bit of that on my own dime too. but this year to go see my family more. i traveled a lot but i only went home three times and mom and dad are going goodbye. how about you guys? >> i was attacked by pigeons on a factor shoot last month and there was a little bit of a situation because i hate pigeons.

i am threatened by them. what happened was the next time a pigeon approached me, i took a swing on it. peter wasn't very happy. so my new year's resolution this year, i'm going to be nicer to pigeons. that's a nice idea; right? >> we have a deal. we have a deal with the pigeons. they don't mess with us, we don't mess with them. they get out of the way of cars coming. if one goes to your head to peck your eye out, you take a swing at a pigeon. >> that's right. i was just nervous because they're dirty. sorry, peter. >> birds can be scary. how about you? >> be more organized and spend more quality time with my kids and family to make sure i'm more present. put the electronics down a little bit this year. make sure when you're there, hanging out with your kids, you're not buried in a phone. >> i think you do a pretty

good job. >> you think you do and you're like what's going on on twitter. >> your son is lighting the house on fire and you're checking your twitter feed. >> got crayons on the wall and he's like dad, you were on twitter. let us know your resolutions this year and do you plan to keep them? will you be the 40% or 8% who keep them throughout the year. >> we have other stories we want to get to on this first day of 2014. a woman is killed after being crushed by a draw bridge in boston. a 43-year-old was walking across a bridge tuesday when it started to rise. the bridge operator said he heard a scream and lowered the bridge. >> he was trying to respond to that, closing the bridge during the process. we've got a person who is gravely injured. >> police say the operator was distraught and taken to a hospital himself for evaluation. the u.s. freeing three more prisoners from guantanamo bay, this coming

coverage even if you signed up early in december. >> if you go to the doctor, let's say you cut your neck or broken your arm and it's tomorrow, you could go, not have health insurance, and you know what the administration is doing? they're giving you a 1-800 number to call. see if you have coverage. if i'm in the hospital in the emergency room, i don't have time to call the 800 number to see if i can get my enrollment clarified. >> not a big deal because it's only going to take them five minutes to give you the answer on whether you're covered or not. there are 10,000 trained agents that are there to walk you through. >> you buy that? >> my wife literally stood on the phone with the irs for 90 minute has few weeks ago. she had questions a few weeks ago. we got this thing in the mail. she sat on the phone for 90 minutes. she did other work, but 90 minutes later they finally answered. if they're as efficient as the irs is, we're in a world of hurt. let's give the phone number.

need and use in order to subsidize older and ill people and people with preexisting conditions to subsidize their coverage. >> like clayton said, i wonder if this woman would be okay if her sons and daughters signed up for the military. is that patriotic or does she just want them to sign up for obamacare? for me personally, i think signing up for obamacare is not patriotic 'cause what you're doing is asking for someone else to subsidize your health insurance. joe biden said it was patriotic to pay more tax. i have think it's the other way around. >> let us know what you think. we will be all over this tomorrow 'cause when the rubber hits the road, will be tomorrow when most of the exchanges and everything starts rolling in on january 2. today is still a holiday. >> 7 minutes after the hour. time for a look at more of your headlines this morning. former first lady barbara bush waking up in a houston hospital where she's been receiving treatment for pneumonia since monday. according to a statement from president george h.w. bush, she

welcome back on this 1st of january. president obama has always made a point to assure americans his number one priority is the economic recovery. >> the economy should be our number one priority. our recovery still needs to build more strength, so it's important that we get it right in washington. putting people back to work, making sure the economy is working for everybody, building the middle class, making sure they're secure. that's my highest priority. >> but could policies like obamacare and the new federal reserve leadership ruin the economy, not fix it? here to weigh in is economist who wrote a new piece about this exact issue. happy new year to you. >> happy new year. >> so perhaps it won't be a happy new year for our economy

if you say some of these things which may be we haven't seen or haven't actually paid much attention to could ruin the economy like obamacare. you call it a train wreck. how could it slow or even ruin the economy this year? >> let's remember the health care is $2.6 trillion, the size of all the france. and insurance companies, not getting the premiums because people aren't properly signed up. yet having to pay the claims. it could easily bankrupt them, along with the fact they just don't have enough young people who are being implicitly taxed. higher health insurance rates and so forth will make it more difficult for people to spend on essentials and slow the economy a bit. >> what about china for investment? we heard for years, you got to invest in china, all the manufacturing, all of the industry that's happening in china. you say that china's banking blunders could hurt us. how so? >> absolutely. china is going through a financial crisis similar to the one that we had in 2008. the real question is do they

have the lehman brothers. most have loans with exports to the united states are charging less than it costs to make stuff. that's why it's so cheap at wal-mart. their provincial governments borrowed huge amounts of money, like detroit, insolvent because they borrowed huge amounts of money for projects that don't pay out and so they can't pay off their loans. that could easily crash. if it does, it will ripple through our financial system as well, so the question is how does the federal reserve respond to all this? >> president obama has praised ben bernanke, chairman of the federal reserve. now we've got janet yellen. you predict failures that could set us back. >> she's a very different person. bernanke said i can't bail out general motors. that's industrial policy. she might feel differently about bailing out the insurance companies, or the big companies that get trashed in china. just about every big multi national in the united states, general motors, ge and so forth are heavily invested in china. if that place crashes, they're in trouble.

if she starts bailing them out, we're on the road to being a latin american republic in the 1970s where you have basically lots of corruption by virtue of so much government money floating around. it's not just the inflation. government money encourages corruption, inefficient city and wherever that's been done, economies grow very slowly. you have basically the italian problem. >> do you think we're going to be bailing out the insurance companies? >> i think we may be. no one really knows just how short of cash they are. but think about this, all those people whose paperwork doesn't go through properly, those are people that can't get their health insurance claims, but the president will twist the insurance company's arms to pay them anyway. remember, those insurance companies won't be getting their premiums. they will not be able to pay. they won't have the mechanism. where is that money going to come from? also they set rates on the basis of having lots of young people sign up.

we know that they are not doing that. so they're going to be short of cash. >> yeah. look into your crystal ball, something tells me we may be bailing those guys out. happy new year to you. great to see you. thanks so much. >> take care. coming up here, more kids being raised by single parents than ever before. our next guest says this only hurts them and the economy. so what does this mean for the modern american family in 2014? that's next. the allegation this morning about the homes brad pitt built in new orleans after hurricane katrina. ♪ ♪ d up, i can't rest.

raised by a single mother, compared to 50% who grow up with two married parents. so what does the modern american family look like in 2014? joining us is syndicated columnist and author of "'til faith do us part" naomi schaefer. good morning to you. >> hello. >> essentially it's saying that kids who come from a family who have two parents are more likely to increase their status economically than if they don't. why is that? >> there are several factors and this trend has been going on for a while. primarily people who live in a two-parent married family can pool resources. you have two incomes coming in often. if you don't, you have one parent who can devote more time to the children. you have a greater amount of stability in the home. if one pain loses the job, the likelihood they would be able to stay in their home and not have to move around to different places i think increases. so there is a lot of stability factors. a lot more ability to focus on

the education of the children, for instance, that contributes to those numbers. >> we're also seeing another trend in america. in the 1950s, you had people getting married, 21, 22, even younger. now you see people putting off marriage 'til their late 20s, early 30s, mid 30s. what kind of effect does that have on the culture here? >> the average age for women now is 27. the average age for men is 29. these are very high numbers. it has a lot of different effects. first of all, you have this long period where people in their 20s are kind of aimless, kind of moving around. they don't really have anything to put roots down with. but it's also affecting we're having lower fertility rates, in part because women are having fewer kids if they get married later. but also i think having a strong effect on who we marry. we tend to marry more outside of our faith and race. these are the things that i think sort of being on your own for a long time, marriage is no longer a communal institution.

it's really an individual institution. it's who you choose to spend the rest of your life with. family, extended family and community has less input on who it is you marry if you get married later. >> maybe we'll end up following the europeans who many aren't getting married at all or getting married and not having children. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> you're getting married later this year, according to the astrology, so congratulations. >> i'm taking offers right now apparently. thank you so much. next up, got a gift card from your target in your stocking? turns out it might be completely worthless. >> a new year means new laws. and 40,000 of them. try a ban on shark fins? we're breaking them all down. ♪ ♪ what does that first spoonful taste like?

friend of mine. one of my resolutions is i'll always try and, even if you're in deep disagreement, encourage them and find something good to say about them. i think our friends and our foes would make that better politically. twitter definitely not helping. >> you get a lot of the trolls that pop up. if you can do it anonymously, it adds more anger. how does someone strive for happiness? you tackle this in the book, which is maybe you're not a happy person. you've had a lot of anger issues over your lifetime. someone actually gets to that point of being a happy person? >> of the seven disciplines. there is a lot of science of this stuff. others have done a lot of work that i actually piloted in and took. he will encourage you to encourage other people. focus on family, friends, faith, and earned success. so even if you're a miserable, rotten, grudge-holding, full of venom person, you can drain that swamp, lots of people do that.

actually been added. >> that's for the state and the federal exchanges. those numbers, the obama administration saying these numbers are good. but if you remember, their goal was 3.3 million by december 31st, falling quite short of that. despite those numbers, the health and human services secretary, kathleen sebelius, says she is thrilled with the amount of enrollees. >> i'm thrilled that we're going to have millions of people for the first time that have health insurance. it should be a great new year for lots of them. >> how are you guying handling that? >> i'm sure there will be some issues, there always are. people change plans every year. these are private plans and private market and there are millions of people who change their insurance coverage every day. but we've done a lot of outreach with pharmacies and doctors and hospitals and consumers and hope to make transition as smoothly as possible. >> do you anticipate any more

for high fiber? >> good news is a lot of these foods don't even have nutrition labels. foods you find in nature on this plate, the only thing is our canned salmon that has a nutrition label on it. if you need an instruction list to determine if a food is healthy, chances are it isn't. >> we really ought to be eating a lot of protein and that helps with our muscle growth and as we have more muscle, then we don't have to work out as much 'cause sitting this we'll burn calorie. >> protein does so many unappreciated things. just eating certain doses of protein can cause us to burn literally hundreds more calories per day through a process called muscle protein synthesis, or rebuilding our body from the inside out. >> that goes for women, too. i think a lot of times women are hesitant about building muscle mass, but then you can eat more. >> women in this country have been so poorly served by nutrition and exercise guidance. eating protein, doing weight training, things traditionally only thought of as what men

quick headlines. federal judge releasing terror loving lawyer lynn stewart from prison. six years early. stewart has breast cancer and given 18 months to live. she was convicted of assisting terrorism in 2005 and was sentenced to jail for ten years. a hawaiian driver thankful to be alive after a sinkhole opens, swallowing her truck with her merchandise. the dodge ram pick up fell into the hole after a culvert collapsed. the driver suffered minor rib injuries, but is otherwise all right. there is a lot of controversy this week over a new "new york times" report claiming that al-qaeda was not behind the attacks on our consulate in benghazi. fox news source called the report completely false. why is the times and the house so determined to blame somebody else for the attack? let's ask lieutenant colonel tony schaefer who has been on this story since the very beginning. great to see you this morning. happy new year.

>> thank you, you too. >> why is the administration, she have been since the beginning, on not just this conflict, but others as well. why are they so against saying al-qaeda was involved in this or other attacks? does it bend with their narratives? >> two primary reasons. first off is the narrative doesn't fit. at the time if you recall, when they were going through this during the election time, they were saying al-qaeda is on the run. clearly if al-qaeda is able to launch a concerted, well-planned attack at the very time they're saying they're on the run, that destroys the narrative. secondly, this calls attention to the larger, broader flawed policy. let's remember that president obama ask hillary clinton both said that the libyan conflict would be quick and kinetic. i was right here saying north texas -- no back when it first happen. the chaos you see now will be what happened and that's another thing they don't want to draw attention to. third, and i think most importantly, now the instability there has become a source for other radical groups to get

involved. for example, the muslim brotherhood is involved stirring up trouble again. my organization will be working to get congress to declare the brotherhood a terrorist organization like egypt did. this is why they don't want to talk about this. the region is more unstable than it ever has been before. >> we heard from president obama the reason for going into libya in the first place, to remove gadhafi, was liberate the libyan people. has that happened? >> no t did not. i think that's one of the most festering wounds out there by the fact that again, as i just mentioned, it's become a radical hot bed. tripoli is controlled by an al-qaeda organization. the muslim brotherhood working with al-shariah in benghazi and you have essentially a partition country where you tonight have an effective central governance. the people of libya are suffering a nightmare and one of the other facts here is that in

the past you had other foreign countries, and foreigners coming in to help run the economy. they won't go back because of the instability. we've seen the end results of our ambassador being killed, three other people being attacked. it's just not a good situation. >> "new york times" standing by their report in all of this as even though congressional testimony and a number of leaders have come forward and said this is a bogus report. one of the things that stands out in these six chapters, no mention of hillary clinton. >> right. this is -- intriguing by the fact that gregory hicks testified under oath -- he's one of those that came forward and said he was talking to hillary clinton the evening of the attack and that phone call, according to his testimony, she asked him, what do you want me to do? and his answer was pretty easy to understand. it's like, send help. we're under attack. and this also rises the ugly head of where did that whole video narrative come from? it was clear from the testimony that no one ever claimed a video

or any sort of protests were ongoing at the time of the attack. so where did that come from? the "new york times" article once again raises that question like, where did that come from? who put it into the narrative and why hasn't anybody talked about it? >> that's a great point because we know in gregory hicks' testimony in front of congress saying his jaw dropped when he heard susan rice on the sunday morning talk shows. >> right. and i think that's the thing. again, witness testimony, intelligence information, other alternative reporting from other networks such as fox and others have come to the same conclusion. al-qaeda was behind the attack. this was a planned effort. so for the "new york times" to raise this and do it in such a way that they're actually doubling down on stupid, if you will, it doesn't make sense at this point in time because again, the narrative is clear, it's been factually vetted by everybody, and now they're trying to change it. i think that becomes, despite the fact they're trying to say it's not political, i think it is by the fact that everybody else has come to separate, logic-based conclusion. >> i think you're right.

>> larry sabato, the director for the center on politics at the university of virginia is

with us. house retirements. you think this is going to definitely happen. >> we already had a substantial number of retirements. you usually have an across seg flaights first few months of the election year. people may be surprised to learn we are just starting the election year. it seems like it has been going on for a year. you will have a lot more retirements in the house. you may have an additional surprise senate retirement. >> looking in your crystal ball for the senate, what is going happen there? >> this will be a year where republicans will surge just a bit. the democrats surged in 2006, 2008. the republicans surged in 2010. the democrats surged back in 2012. now i think it's the have you cans' term.

them gain a minimum of 3-4 senate seats. they need six to control. it's possible they could get it. >> what about the governor's races across the country? what do you see happening there? >> there are 36 of them. you could argue that's the most important part of the election. there are 36 of them. because 29 of the 36 governors are incumbents. i think very few will lose. you only have a couple who are in danger. i don't think there will be that much change. we'll focus the headlines on the couple incumbents who actually lose. we'll lose the broader picture which is not much change. that's good news for the republicans. they picked up so many in 2010, these people are running for reelection in 2014. president obama, what kinds of a

year will he have? >> he's been a lame duck since the moment he was reelected. all second term presidents are. he has only gotten lamer there his second year. barring some kinds of international development or big domestic development that calls for presidential action, he's going to get lamer in an election year. if second term presidents are going to accomplish something they generally have to do it right away as the second term begins. well, that's over with. now we are in an election year when things generally slow down, bog down. my prediction is for the republicans to gain seats in the house and the senate. that means his last two quleers be even lamer than the other

years. >> what is your prediction for third-party candidates? >> despite the disaffection of congress, they are down to their family members and staff members approving of what they do. still you will see no real substantial third-party efforts that matter. you may have spoilers in some races but you won't have any of them elected, maybe one or two. >> great seeing you, happy new year to you and happy new year to your family as well. >> i hope it's a great year for all of us, thank you. >> coming up, baby names going biblical. what experts believe will be the most popular baby name. and the reason why expectant parents are turning to tradition. the new hangover cures you need
