house side. but he could join. >> make beautiful music. >> thank you for joining us. >> america's news headquarters starts right now. a deadly winter storm is slamming the northeast, killing nine people cross five states snarling air traffic and closing schools and government offices over the region. the storm dumping two feet of snow in parts of massachusetts. whiteout conditions and forcing authorities to declare a states of emergency in new york, new jersey and we'll have more on the impact of the storm that affected millions of people in the annual forecast just a head. new evidence that the white house is trying to change the narrative again on the obama care roll out. welcome to america's hq. i am gregg jarret. >> and the 7 million enrollment

estimate needed to be reached by march was never an obama administration target they say. critics say this is another example of the white house moving the goal post again. chris stirewall is here and host of fox play. >> it was lowered to throw.3 million enrolled by the end of december and 2.1 enrolled. it was a projection, i ask you was the 7 million role or i fabrication and the government got derailed? >> it depends on what you think the law is intended to do. that is currently what is happening. the discussion in this country right now, what is the point of obama care? the point of obama care was that

it would bend the cost curve and make health care more affordable. it would be as washington likes to say a win- win for everybody. but as we get towards full implementation of the law and goes into full affect what the law is doing is insuring the uninsured and the democrats say is a worthy goal. you can't do the other thing. you can't bend the cost curve or change the dynamic on health insurance if they don't sign up even though more than 6 million policies were cancelled under the law. >> what about the white house pitch. how is it it say to the young and healthy ones. we are doing fine. obama care is open for business. come on in? the shift now for democrats is, how many seats can they protect

in the united states senate? they need to make sure the republicans don't win more than five societies in the election year. they are shifting to income and inquality clash conflict argument as they are rolling forward. and maybe we didn't get 7 million that we needed and a lot of the stuff we needed and maybe those young people never came through the dor. we provided health insurance to those who needed it and republicans want to take it away from them and that's the argument that senate democrats make. they are depriving needy people of health insurance. >> that would be the democrats argument how do the republicans combat this and here are solutions to what you are doing on your side of the aisle. >> if the administration is far off on the estimates as is shaping up to be now especially when it comes to the number of

young healthy people signing up for the law and becoming paying customers, if it is as far off as that. we will see the insurance rates go up in the country and 87 percent of americans insured in the employers to somebody in their family,ul will see rates sky rocket and at that moment, it will sews to matter what a politician or incumbent and those voting for obama care are voting on the way out. >> of course, you will have the customers and they will get the last say and we'll so more reviews and some from satisfied patrons and say look, this is a bunch of bait and switch. it remains to so how the law will play out. >> time will tell. this is the key. if not enough people seen up. and younger people who don'ts inially need it. if they don't get millions of those, this will blow up and the

cost continuium for everybody will be a serious problem and there is no way to go around that. that's what we are waiting to see when the administration is finally ready to share the data. in kentucky. 40 percent of the 116,000 enrollees were under 35. happy new year. >> happy new year. another obama care official resigning in the roll out of the debacle. oregon's health exchange director becoming the second state official to resign. he came under fire when the on line enrollment system failed to come live in october. technical problems forced oregonians to apply using paper. as of this week, the state's on line exchange has not launched. >> greg, a major union battle

coming to head when machinist will vote on the latest contract offer from boeing. it could determine if the next airplane will be built in the state of the washington or elsewhere in the country. dan spring is live with more. hi, dan. >> reporter: yeah, hi. machinist have been voting since 5:00 this morning, a long steady line in everet. there is anything but union solidarity. >> democracies work and we voted it is over. >> reporter: well, today's vote almost didn't happen. local leaders of the international association of machinist said the offer is the same as the contract extension and overwhelmingly rejected by members in november. what has changed is the beauing

elsewhere where it is not accepted. >> if the membership doesn't like it, they will reject it. it shouldn't be up to one person to decide, i am not going to put this to a vote. >> reporter: the local union held a rally and urging a no vote. what boeing is doing they say is extortion of the the current contract goes two more years. but in order to guarantee their jobs they want to switch pensions and a 401 k plan. securing production would mean tens of thousands of good paying jobs for years to come. politicians are urging a yes vote. >> it's all of the pressure our members are feeling from people with no personal stake in this. it couldn't be more personal for the members. they are looking at voting and having less take- home pay with

added health care cost and giving up a pension that is well funded. >> reporter: and one machinist we talked to likened it to a high stakes game of poker in which boeing is holding all of the cards. >> the voting will cut off at 6 o'clock local time. and so we'll look closer at the union fight unfolding today. what the ramifications of today's co vote might be. back now to the fox extreme weather on the deadly storm pounding the northeast. we'll go to jd. it is extreme? >> it is. local forecasters got it right. we had a couple of areas isolated of two feet of snow in

massachusetts, but central park six inches right on the money forecasted. and parts of new york close to a foot and boston over 14 inches. certainly snowfall toelts and blizzard continues. the bulk of the system is gone right now, but we have blustery conditions and the temperatures are frigid and soine the kids with a snow day can't play outside for any length of time. forecast in the wind chill are single digits and below 0 over the next 12 or 24 hours. things will be dangerous in saturday and sunday and temperatures will rebound and we have another storm on the way sunday night and monday. that starts in the northern plains. we have blizzard warnings for parts of the dakotas and over the ohio river valley and several inches of snow and chicago, your daytime hi gh is

mineus 10. it will be very, very dangerously cold in the new work week and then the system will move eastward. it will warm up on the east coast. behind it, we'll feel colder than we do in the northeast. forecan have the for precipitation in monday evening, 3- 6 inches in the upper midwest and town in the tennessee river valley and mainly a snow event in the eastern sea board. but cold temperatures will push oast ward monday, tuesday and wednesday, single digits and below 0 temperatures and perhaps one of the coldest nfl games over the weekend for grown bay, greg. >> really? >> i think minus, i will have to check that, one of the coldest nfl games ever played could happen for grown bay. >> it could be even colder than the ice bowl. >> perhaps not the ice bowl.

i think the wind chill was minus 50. but let me get on that and i will get back to you at the 2 o'clock hour. >> i am glad i got my wife the big shovel for christmas. >> she does the shovelling. why are you wearinga i long coat. >> really your mom asked you that? >> do i look like an idiot to you. you don't answer. our medical a- team is here to tell you what it means. >> fire crews working to put out a fire in the ballpark. we'll have the latest details on the developing story. >> dozens of people are stuck on a ship in waters of the antartica and the snag in the bottom of the world. >> somebody call al gore,

>> a mierp league ballpark in michigan going up in flames. heavy black smoke billowing from a facility in grand rapids. no injuries are reported at this ponent. crews are braving single digital temperatures to put out the flames. the ballpark sits 10,000 people and home to the west michigan wild cats which is a affiliate of the detroit tigers. there is a new study out that said the expansion of obama care will increase emergency room visits. obama care claims that the health care law would reduce those costs. they are costly trips to the er. we have a fox news medical a- teamer and professor of medicine. >> what is the deal here? >> the new york times call today

rigorous and published in the journal of science. a now years ago price- water house copper came up with the information that medicaid patients would use the er as people without insurance. this study confirms that. it involves harvard university and showed in 200 ate. when they gave more medicaid to people, they are 40 percent likely more to use the er and many more times when they didn't need it. we have ten percent less er's in the united states than we had ten years ago. if you go to the er, you don't want to see it clogged with people who have new insurance cards've any kind that don't need to be there. medicaid patients may not get in to see primary doctors like me. 50 percent of the specialist don't take medicaid and i might

not have the network. you break a leg i tell you to go to the er. and same thing with delivering a baby and it is hard to find physicians to work with you on the outpatient settings and you may be forced to go to the er. >> the president claimed that people had substandard insurance and he would replace that. doctors said to me medicaid and he's expanding the medicaid role that medicaid is substandard because so many doctors will not take it. >> not to mention the hospitals. there is an advantage of medicaid to people who have nothing. but what is never done with medicaid is prevent over use and that's where the president was being disingenous. we don't need er's filled with

people who don't need to be there. the hospitals suffer because they are paid less. and so it is not a pannacea. and half of obama care is medicaid. >> i want to transition if i can to an a p story that i saw. headline, adding a baby to a health plan is not easy, is that true? >> that's a great story, it points out what is going on once the website is fixed. all of this for the was trying to fix it, they didn't figure out how to sign a baby. great news, i can't get insurance to cover it because the websites don't have that flexibility. if there is a death or baby is born or divorce, you may not get it on the policy through the website. you have to call your broker. you have to call them up and say

what do i do now? my new born infant needs health care. >> quality and access in your judgment and experience as a doctor going down. >> well, i wrote about it in the wall street journal. i am concerned about quality going down. and on top of that people who think they have insurance and may not because of the website and that is affecting the quality of care. >> you have a case of the -- the woman who took care of all of your insurance and took a week off. everybody should read this in the wall street journal by dr. mark siegel. >> thank you dr. siegel. thank you, gregg. >> well, his escape prompted a search. a latest developments after a mental patient a cowed of

between the two sides. he is meeting with israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu today. and prime minister a bas later in the day. and other officials in the next day or so. last night kerry arrived for a tense visit in the region and said despite the odds a peace deal is not impossible but begin the conditions. it is not any time soon. they are far apart in what they are looking for out of an agreement. the biggest issue is the borders of a potential palestinian state and future of the israel settlements in the palestinian territory. right now 300,000 israelis is living in the west bank and inside of the borders of a future palestine. but israelis are demanding a continued military presence in the future of palestine in a way to prevent attacks on the state

of israel. and palestinians want israeli troops out of their future borders and there are a lot of disagreements and work to be done. but secretary of state john kerry said he and america are committed to this. and whether or not the israelis and palestinians are is a big question in the region. they are going to continue to work and rumors that both sides are trying to go along with the american effort so that they can claim that the other side was at fault if talks fall apart. >> thank you for the live report in jerusalem. new details after two americans are arrested in benghazi. we are learning about the circumstances that led to it. and a brand new poll shows that majority of americans are not having a good experience with the obama care roll out.

so there i was again, explaining my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoas to another new stylist. it was a total earrassment. and t the kind of attention wanted. so i had a serus talk with my dermatologt about my treatment options. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps tclear the surface of my skin by actuallrking inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderatekin to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance.

and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reaions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a regionhere certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had t hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as feve fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible. we have time for a quick check of the headlines.

art. two-thirds of uninsured americans have a negative experience with the obama care website. according to gall up. 59 percent said it is a negative experience and 39 percent said a positive experience. we have that right now. guy benson and julie, fox news contributors and we want to get into. this happy new years. >> happy new year. >> i want to start with you on this one, talk about the problems that folks are having with the health exchange. >> they are well documented from the technological issues to the sticker shock and access shock and dropped coverage. we have covered that on on fox and elsewhere. i would say what is interesting arthel about this poll of uninsured americans specifically, and what i find

fascinating is whether or not these samples include people who were uninsured last year prior to obama care implemented and versus the newly uninsured because of obama care. the administration said 2.1 million americans selected plans through the obama care exchanges. that is an inflated number and not credible for a number of reasons. 2.1 million. and media reports indicate 4- 6 million americans have lost their coverage. starting now here in january, because of the law, that is a double or triple the rate of people managing to sign up. i would love to know how the break down works in the polls when they are asking uninsured people if you are uninsured before obama care. >> the poll is made up of interviews with 1500 uninsured americans including 450 who reported visiting the health

exchanges. what is your take on this, julie? >> i can talk about guys. i don't agree of the 4 or 6 million uninsured on obama care. you are not talking about permanently insured thanks to obama care. they had cancelled plans and immediately got new plans. that is one. and two, go to sign up for any bureaucratic thing like obama care is like the dnb. the reality is, you have to look at how many people have health care, as guy points out. the administration said over 2 million in the exchanges and 4 million through medicare expansion and so you are having millions of americans despite the unpleasant experience of obama care and website are now insured. that is the metric. and the real metric will be on the end of march when the

enrollment period is over. you might have a bad insurance in the dmv but you get a driver's license. and here you get health insurance. >> would you like obama care to fail? >> i don't think whethery want something to fail. i think based on the evidence it is failing and the promises they are making to the american people are not kept for millions of folks. julie can say they have 2.1 million people signed up. 4 to 6 million people thrown off plans, they may not be permanently uninsured. but they are fewer americans insured today than last year. and one of the ponent of this is so great signing up and getting coverage which is what is important. there is another poll. >> let me jump in.

i know you have a lot of polls and i get bored to be honest with you on the polls, just being honest. would you say, julie, in fairness, i asked guy why you want obama care to fail. julie, do you want obama care to live if you will? it is the law, but do you want it to succeed at all in >> i want it to succeed. if it is successfully implemented and that is a question mark if so. but if it were, millions and tens of millions of americans will have access to health care and that is something regardless of democrat or republican or partisan, we should want that for fellow americans. it is not whether i want it to suck sowed or republicans want it to fail. we should all want to be having access to health care. >> so guy, i don't want your mom

to call me and i cut you off. i will give you the last 20 seconds on this one. >> of course, we can all come together and get as many people quality affordable care as possible. that is a goal. but it is not an excuse for poorly crafted legislation that was solid with incorrect promises and lies. separate the outcomes versus the intentions. intentions are not everything in life. >> guy benson, and julie, thank you for bringing the a game to the table. >> you don't want his mom to call. >> she is a nice lady. >> you don't want to go there. >> deer season, did you know, it is underway in the nation's capitol, but many will be disappointed because it is not

open to local hunters. instead the national park service is bringing out the big guns and sharp shooters hired to call in the deer population that has gone buck wild. molly is live from rock croak, in washington d.c. molly. >> reporter: yes, greg, rock creek, the park behind me is a 12 mile park in washington d.c., as you are saying sharp shooters will be working in the over night hours until the end of march or until they call the herd around the nation's capitol. it is a second year to stem the deer heard. they want 77 deer to around 15 or 20 deer per square mile. the over population is causing the deer to venture in neighborhoods and rush hour traffic looking for food. they say the deer is depleting

too much local vegetation. >> right now, deer are eating all of the tree seedlings that grow and if new plants and trees can't grow, the forest can't regenerate. >> and the naeshs support the program. but others want nonlethal means to prevent the deer from continuing to reprous. >> there is other options. they are just trying to get the easy way of getting out. >> you are not wounding them with a bow and arrow and not wounding them by untrained shotters and they do have to be cleared out. >> it is not just here, department of agriculture sharp shotters are controlling the deer population in other parks and cities. here locally deer meat that comes from the shooting will be begin to food banks and homeless

shelters. greg. >> you only showed pictures of cute deer in that story, and we are sitting here, oh, they are such cute bambideer and stuff. >> you only showed cute deer. >> reporter: we'll try less cute ones for you. >> find ugly deer would you? >> reporter: i will work on it. >> like the one that comes in my backyard and eats my shrubs. >> people get frustrated by it and come up to the doors and come out in the middle of the traffic. >> they do. my wife gets upset about it and that makes me upset. you know how that works. >> molly, thank you very much. >> all right. i will turn to commercial break. >> meanwhile federal officials slamming the editorial that call for clemency for edward snowden

and why the times got it wrong. >> russian president vladimar putin can do more than ride horses and play hockey. don't you know. we'll tell you about the olympics ven u.

>> welcome bavenlth russian president vat vat putin hitting the slopes a head of next month's olympics just days after vowing to a nilalate the terrorist attacking the games. he was at a ski resort near the olympics skying ven u. this follows twin sowicide bombings 145 mills northeast of the area. >> russia in the meantime is

sheltering edward snowden. he was the topic of a new york times editorial that called for him to have clemency and pardon because of the value allegedly of what he revealed about u.s. government spying. he proved that government officials, this is a quote. are you tinily broken the law and claim that has federal officials angry. doug burns jones us. and you know, i read, judge, that the federal judge in new york. >> judge pauly's decision. he said there is no right to privacy when you provide information to a third party. is he right about that? >> i think he is. this is a political dust up at

this point. the new york times editorial was interesting, and i would sign on board with the idea that 100 percent, is that somebody may have done a criminal offense, but then argued in it is in the larger public good. two federal judges apparently granted interim relief and saying that the program may violate the law. judge pauly said it does not. the problem with the times editorial is the language that they just read that said it is illegal. i am not so sure it is correct. >> and doug, thank you very much. >> the judge in dc had it right, greg. that is who the times relied on. and they generally, the new york times served as a media pr firm. and that has to add salt in the wound. >> look the times indicate that the nsa program violated

a particular federal privacy law. and that's what the judge in dc found. i have to believe that there is a strength in that. we know it will be ending up before the u.s. supreme court. and there will be a compromise reached in it. but the idea that the administration intentionally went out and violated the law. this administration was know deep in benghazi. and here you have a guy, who is not even graduating from college. >> right. >> who claims that the nsa violated the constitution. and yet edward snowden, there is a picture of him. he's a guy who thumbs his nose at the constitution and the establishment of course to the criminal justice system. he pled it. >> here is a guy who causes you know, academic elites at one

party and raises the glasses and said he is a hero and others saying he is a criminal. and everybody has the competing arguments. but the reality is he committed a crime no question in my opinion. >> he is not a whistle blower. he is not one. and i want to go to lynn stewart i interviewed her over the years and represented the blind sheik who aided in the first terrorist attacks and now released because she's doing. is that the right -- david let me go to you on this. is that the right decision? >> apparently she has breast cancer and has approximately 18 months to live. but remember what she did. she was retained by the blipped shiek, and passes it to

a terrorist group and much more involved than we have time to get into. she was convicted of providing material information to a terrorist group and aiding and abetting an islamic terrorist group and providing them and prompting them to attack egypt. she was convicted and given ten to attack egypt. her release date is 2018. i don't know man, this is a tough one. if there was somebody who should be denied maybe this is the one. >> this has a back story greg, she got 28 months originally and said quote i could do this ta standing on my had. ab and the judge said, oh really and gave her the longer sentence. >> you feel badly and again, i've interviewed her over the

years and she has no remorse. she really doesn't. i have asked her point blank and she has no remorse. happy new years. >> from rescuer to rescuee the people saved from the ship.

fox news alert serious problems for obama care. attorneys calling fixes to the troubled law calling them illegal. >> 11 public attorneys general taking them to the hhs secretary. they argue the administration is breaking the law with it's repeated change to obama care by completely bypassing congress. >> general, thank you for being with us. happy new year. what is illegal? >> happy new year, greg. remember back not too long ago

when the united states came out with it's decision with the challenge to bicycobama care any said obama care is the law of the land? now the enforcement phase has come into play we have seen even barack obama and the administration itself is realizing it is unworkable. it needs to be fixed. as opposed to fixing the law by having congress change the lay, the president and and secretary sebelius themselves are changing the law and we believe it is unconstitutional. >> let's dig deeper. section d of the obama care law the aca. effective date the amendments made by the section shall and that is my emphasis shall apply

to months beginning after december 31st, 2013. general, shall and you learned this in law school is a mandatory word. it is not changeable. you cannot change it. under that reading of the law, that hat been changed by the president illegally? >> as a former texas supreme court justice myself i can tell you that courts apply that word shall to mean that it provides the executive branch no latitude in how they are going to apply the law. this is one of the ways that they are violating the law as written by congress and violating the constitution in trying to aplay their own interpretation in applying the law. >> no one hout standing

illegally to sue until yesterday. as you know, you don't have standing until you have actual harm not theoretical harm. do you envision lawsuits that say wait a minute, this is a president that changed the law to benefit some to the disadvantage of others? >> well, you make a keen point, and that is before a lawsuit can be filed, someone has to be injured. that letter that we sent to the secretary was a steppingstone step that the attorneys general are taking as a step towards maybe -- we are considering a lawsuit against the administration. we are looking for the right entity for the individuals

themselves. i believe someone will be filing a challenge to the way that obama care is being enforced. >> you have to find somebody who has experienced actual harm. that shouldn't be hard because there are tens of millions of americans who have experienced the broken promise of you get to keep your health care plan and they have lost it and their premium premiums have gone down. so i think it is going to be easy to find individuals who have standing to bring a claim in challenging the way it is
