""fox and friends" starts now. good morning, it's thursday. another day, another problem with obamacare. >> i love the way it's down in the plate, you know, it's a back-end problem. makes it sound like a running back with a sprained gluteus maximus. >> injuries. but wait until you hear what kathleen sibelius just said about it. and rooms at that hotel

start at 700 bucks a night. so what will democrats be doing there? they'll be talking about income inequality, of course. hilarious, but true. and iran is holding americans hostage with no release date in sight. but forget that, go visit the beaches, they're cool. iran's new tourism pitch. good luck getting crowds there. as far as i can tell, ""fox and friends" starts now. ♪ it's "fox and frienskp frea have you heard the news? captain and tanile are getting a divorce. they're in their 70s now. he worked on the beach boys, they had a bunch of hits. but love can't keep them together. >> do you think he'll go back to the military? >> captain? >> probably go into the navy

again. >> he might be retired by now. he's 72. are you thinking of captain crunch? >> no, no. he's always wore the hat, i thought he was an actual captain. >> just that particular -- maybe, i don't know. >> ladies, he's single. >> the ship. he's available. >> go get the captain. >> love will keep you together. >> he was keeping the same hat that the skipper was wearing on gill began's island. >> they were together? >> they got through the troubles. >> i thought so. >> they got through turbulence, rough seas. the weather started getting rough. >> and rough seas, obamacare. the waters are not calm yet, the disaster not getting any better. insurance companies have no idea what it's going to cost the consumer and if they can participate going forward. we talked about the issues, the website, signing up, and if you get on, you can't get off.

and the people actually coming on to attempt to enroll in insurance are -- or previously insured they just had their programs dropped. we keep hearing about this back end not functioning well. what happens here, we talked about here, the insurance companies get to figure out who you are, what subsidy you will be awarded and give an estimate. that is foggy. it's not a big deal to the administration. it isn't working yet. aetna kor aetna ceo is feeling comfortable. what he said about possibly jumping ship from the program. >> here's his quote in davos. are there double-digit increases or beat up because they're double-digit or just pull out of the program? these questions can't be answered until we see the population today and we don't have a good view on that. >> what he's talking about, the problem so far in his

estimation, what he said yesterday in switzerland, they have failed to attract the uninsured. the whole thing -- there are 50 million people who don't have insurance. obamacare was going to bring them in. so far they have been unable to bring in the uninsured. so what's going to happen may 15th of this year, they're going to have to re-adjust. how much to charge next year. right now he says at least double digit. nobody likes that. so aetna may have to drop out of the exchanges. that would be a major defeat for the administration. >> those estimations over or under, as quoted by health and human services could be potentially lead to the default and disrupting continued services and coverage to customers, to consumers. that is awful news. especially when it comes to financing the program that we're asked to jump into. those documents are released and posing devastating forecasts for

those looking at their insurance possibilities going forward. kathleen sibelius, though, she thinks it's okay. >> yeah, 3%. he says only 3% of the company is invested in obamacare. i'm not that worry the about it. a real-life supposedly non-partisan person running a successful company saying this is what it means to us, they have employees, they have to be insured and what have you. gets the politics out of it. having said that, kathleen sibelius is asked, you won't believe how bad the website is, no, but she said everything is fine. although upon further review, it's not. listen. >> only 300 insurers in the whole country and we will get them paid, there's no question about that. so -- but we're on track. there are still parts of the site that are -- were not

consumer-facing for october 1st that need to be developed as we move foard. so the whole financial reconciliation piece which we have a manual work-around with insurers right now, is in the process of being completed. >> so -- >> the financial reconciliation. that's the back end. that doesn't work. we saw this past sunday, the security expert david kennedy on with chris wallace talking about, you know what, i don't have to hack into the kpufrlcom but i can get 70,000 records of people with obamacare with the computer i have here. nothing work. >> the manual work around. thinking they're covered, and everything not connected. no dots connected. kathleen sibelius says we're on track. and charles krauthammer talked and said if we're on track, this is the wrong track. take a listen. >> i love the way it's

down-played. it's a back-end problem. makes it sound like a runningback with a sprained gluteus maximus. this is the essence of the system. the health care.gov, the signup, communicates with the insurer. right now what that document was saying in alarming tones, because the back end wasn't constructed, there's no way too communicate accurate or any information about who the person is and if that person is insured. you have a system as complicated as this, millions of people with millions of defective or nonexistent ids at hospital. you have a train wreck coming. it's going to come out slowly, not all in one day. and the deadline is in mid-march. if they don't have this in place in mid-march, all hell is going to break louiose. >> that said that's the date. it's going to be a disaster.

game on. and the work around. we have people calling you or figuring it out on their own. meanwhile, on a different note, but kind of the same theme, the rich are bad and the poor aren't, balance it out and solve the inkaeequality problem in th country. the democrats are going to work on that. and they have a conference. if you can afford to say at the st. regis hotel, i don't believe it's religious, $695 a night. and part of a pre-grammy package. >> there are two different festivities that the democrats are involved in. this is a congressional one in new york city, they talk about inequality. the other one is the one that nancy pelosi is hosting or attending, it's a pre-grammy event, and that is going to cost them a pretty penny as well. but just the hypocrisy of it, talking about the haves and have

not, how many people can stay at a $700-a-night-hotel to talk about fairness. >> yeah, the dccc, democratic congressional campaign committee, official arm of the democrat party. their specific aim is to talk about income inequality while staying $700 a night. you have to pay that. >> the people on the upper east side, they are snowed in, the mayor forgot to plow there. >> talking about income equality, how concerned is america? a brand new fox poll came out. 40% of you are worried about jobs and unemployment. the same number worried about the deficit and how much the government spends. meanwhile, income inequality at only 12%. so where does it fall? it's way down the totem pole.

>> it's a pricey party to talk about something that 12% are concerned about. >> tax on top that have? and does the bellman get a dollar for getting a cab? >> maybe. that would be fair. >> that would be fair. >> good morning. fair to say hello. >> good morning, have you been up to the st. regis? that is one of the fanciest hotels in new york city, if not the fanciest. >> i had a bench there average i think it was $22. you don't keep the glass. >> good morning, great to see you guys. ten minutes after the hour and in texas, a spectacular fire. not in a good way. destroying an entire block of homes in just minutes. in dallas, one witness saying she has never seen anything like this in her life. the flames jumping from home to home, gutting the entire condo complex. fortunately no one was hurt. thank goodness. most of the units were vacant,

you served in the navy, you're a muslim, are you happy about this? >> i'll tell you, for some segments, the sikh community, ord do orthodox jews. i was able to practice my faith, and i never saw the need for bending over back for the political correctness. this is checking boxes for the groups trying to weaken mission readiness, and tee up the football for monsters like hassan, or that'ser abdul, who got conscientious objector accomodation. the roll out yesterday and today hasn't shown a balance they're going to protect the commands who are going to make the decisions. i hope they do that and balance this. >> this is a volunteer force. if your religion conflicts with

the rules in the military, do something else. here's lieutenant colonel allen west. >> it's a horrible idea. it's part of the fundamental transformation of the united states of america and the social re-engineering of the military. with the hassan case, he would be allowed to keep his beard. this is a breakdown of the order and discipline. i don't know why the administration took this on. but chairman joe wilson, the head of the subcommittee in the house on military personnel should call a hearing and start challenging this administration by making the decisions that are going to affect the military and its personnel. and eventually it will affect the readiness. it's going to cause more complaints and issues. >> the assistant secretary of defense says this is the culmination of a process of creating an environment that's more welcoming to some segments of our population.

your reaction? >> i agree with the sentiment he's talking about. all we have seen is accomodation and degradation of the unit cohesion. we have to remember, the sikh community, wearing a beard and turban are central to their faith. they have proven it won't hurt their safety. they can wear a mask. it piggybacks on some communicates that need it, and open the door for litigation jihadists, represented by c. c.a.r.e. and others and it's a club on the head of those who to want maintain readiness. >> it's not about you, it's the unit, the country, the mission. aren't we missing the reason for joining the military? >> and that's the language from the white house, from the d.o.d. look at the directive, not much has changed. they have given them the freedom

to make the decision. they may not get it. they have to go through an approval process. and i hope the ones who may use this as a club to separate the military will not be given the club. protect our officers. no different from those who didn't report hassan because they were worried about getting sued. we are continuing to give them no protection. and i hope that's not where we're headed. the sikhs, orthodox jews and others will be able to serve when they haven't in the past. >> you should bend to the rules of the military. the military shouldn't be bending to your rules. serve in some other fashion to allow you to display the religious beliefs. you cannot bend for everyone. every officer who refuses a request is in trouble. the word's going to go out, there's going to be whispers and pressure. i see a bad trend. thank you so much for voicing

this is one of the great stories. i'm surprised the seahawks have not reached out. i wouldn't be surprised when they get to new york, being they're local -- >> i have a feeling they will. they've got good hearts over there. clearly derek's response to the girls was i thought so heartfelt. >> very classy. thank you for joining us on this bitterly cold thursday. we're snug as a bug in studio e and heather has more. >> i hope the seahawks give them some tickets. wouldn't that be nice? good morning. we have some news to bring you coming out of texas. a really spectacular fire destroys an entire block of homes in just minutes. this happening overnight in dallas. one witness saying she's never seen anything like this in her life. the flames jumping so quickly from home to home, it gutted the whole condominium complex. no one was hurt. most of the units were vacant because they were being renovated. threats against u.s. olympics being called a hoax. the international olympic committee saying e-mail threats

received by the u.s. team in five european countries are not from a credible source. the messages had said that athletes would be targeted by terrorist attacks. this comes as russian officials are on the hunt for several female terrorists from a group that's vowed to attack the olympic games. new developments about a plan by al-qaeda to carry out a homicide bombing in tel aviv. three men under arrest, accused of plotting the bombings, as well as shootings and kidnapping. it's believed they were recruited by an operative who worked for al zawahiri. those are your headlines. >> does anyone even hear about him being targeted these days? >> is he from core al-qaeda or the jv team? >> he was varsity this year. i think he's about to letter in terrorism. >> yeah. we're going to have to see if the administration thinks that's for real. let's talk about obamacare for a second. no surprise that obamacare on the -- they're trying to spin it

to the positive. if you're in the administration, you're secretary, of course you're going to look for the positive. behind the scenes we're getting a glimpse of how nervous they actually are. >> that's right. some documents have been released by the federal government. remember the company, original contractor, cgi, that screwed up the web site, they've been fired. instead they did a no bid contract with a company accent dre. what they did was said that we're in big trouble. they say the problems with the web site puts the entire health insurance industry at risk. the entire industry at risk! they say potential leading to their default, companies' default, and disrupting continuing coverage to customers. if not fixed by mid march, the web site, what this document says is, they will result in financial harm to the federal government and the entire health care reform program is jeopardized. you can see, while jay carney,

kathleen sebelius, they put on the happy face. behind the scenes, they're freaking out. >> look what jay carney is saying. i didn't see the article. i'm not aware of these statements. that's the white house press person. >> some are asking what's worse, to claim you don't see it or see it and continue to assert that everything is fine? so just as everyone is preparing for spring break, it may be the breaking point as reported here from the documents released by the administration. meanwhile, target dropping part-time workers because they can't pay for their health insurance. but there are some, including charles krauthammer, who say you know what? this was all part of the plan. >> the bill was written deliberately to force employers to kick people off their plans so that would be the only way to get the subsidies. in fact, what it tells you is that none of this is an unintended side effect of the creation of obamacare. the purpose of obamacare was to destroy the relationship between the employer and the employee

and getting health care and that's exactly why millions of people are being tossed off and millions more will be as the larger employers start tossing people off later in the year. >> he's talking there about larger employers who have got more than 50 employees, you've got to provide or you get into big trouble. with target, if you have less than -- if you work less than 30 hours a week, you're considered part-time. now they're saying, go to the exchanges. they're trying to spin it by, well, only 10% of target employees have used this in the past. but some employees are really furious about it. in the meantime, the company comes back and says, look, we're just trying to help you out. the only way you're going to get the subsidy to help you pay for it is if you are on the exchange. so target, just like home depot and other company, shifting people to the exchanges. >> all right. let's talk about something entirely different, but i'm sure you care passionately about and that's our military. as you read secretary of defense

gates' book, you saw he had one day he and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, to find out that they were going to get rid of don't ask don't tell. that, whether you believe it or not, whether you're for it or not, whether you want it to go away or stay or stay exactly there, that changes the morale of the military directly that they were not informed. there is something else going on in the military that's going to affect the morale and the way that operation works and that is they have decided to loosen the standards on anybody's religious practices. they have a chance to appeal, to break the code, the military code if their commanding officer allows them to. this could just open up the flood gates to changing the rule of law and discipline that the army has done so well in over the past 200-plus years. >> colonel allen west had thoughts about the long-term implications of these changes. take a listen. >> it's a horrible idea. it's part of the fundamental transformation of the united states of america and the social re-engineering of our military.

i don't understand why the administration would take this on, but i believe that chairman joe wilson, head of the subcommittee in the house on military personnel, should immediately call a hearing and start challenging this administration by making these unilateral decisions that are going to affect the military and its personnel. and eventually it will affect its readiness. it will cause more complaints, more issues. >> so what's going to happen with these widespread changes are members of the military, while in uniform, will be able to for the first time have beards, some tattoos, and they'll be able as well to wear turbans. brian just an hour ago was talking to dr. jasser, president of the islamic forum. he is muslim. he served in the military. he was in the u.s. navy. what does he think about this? listen. >> the what they do is piggy back on communities that do need some legitimate accommodation and meanwhile, open the door for the litigation jihaddists represented by groups like care

and others to use this as a club on the head of officers that want to maintain safety and mission readiness. >> it's unbelievable. the new york yankees will end up with stricter rules when it comes to their players than the u.s. army has. >> the real yankees. >> yeah. you're not allowed to have facial hair. by the way, there is like a few thousand of them, they're going to get a chance to plead their case, wiccan. they'll be able to possibly get that in. if you're a sergeant and you tell me no, guess what? you might be under scrutiny. are you bigoted against me? >> apparently what they're going to do is decide whether or not on a case by case basis. how is this going to affect the unit cohesion? in other words, if we allowed this person to do this, is that going to be a good or bad thing? >> you can't help but think, harkening back to nidal hasan

wanting to grow a beard during the trial. i think definitely brings up concerns, both for safety, unified front and just cohesion. the debate is out. >> i have an idea. you get the military in on these decisions 'cause they fight the wars and are doing incredibly well. can you stop messing with their core values and beliefey found e series, i don't know, of 225 years? >> the big question is now will they allow rules regarding bibles to be relaxed? will priests be able to say mass going forward? are those changes coming? >> they seem to be clamping down on that on the other hand. >> it is now ten minutes after 7:00 o'clock in the morning eastern time. according to the president, pot is no more dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes. that's what mr. obama said. but perhaps he should have talked to his own experts first, or look at his own web site because they tell a whole

different story. >> yeah. the cookie monster has to cut back on his favorite snack and he's not alone. c is for carrots. >> wow. why sesame street is putting everyone on a diet. >> carrot monster? ♪ ♪ c is for cookie ♪ ♪ that's good enough for me ♪ c is for cookie ♪ that's good enough for me ♪ c is for cookie ♪ that's good enough for me you'll feel great. i'm trying this too. maybe this. ♪ nnouncer ] you've got finding time for what matters, down to a science. you're the reason we reformulated one a day women's. a complete multivitamin that now has extra b vitamins, which help convert food to energy. energy support for the things that matter. that's one a day women's.

president obama's pot talk sparking a whole lot of controversy this week. remember he said that marijuana is, quote, no more dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes. only problem, his own drug czar disagrees. bishop ron allen is the president and ceo of the international faith-based

coalition. he joins us today from san francisco. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you doing today? >> i'm doing okay. so when the president of the united states said this, as has been well documented, i smoke pot as a kid and view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from cigarettes that i smoked as a young person up through big chunk of my life. i don't think it's more dangerous than alcohol. when you heard that, what did you think? >> we are extremely disappointed that the most powerful man of the free world would make such irresponsible, incorrect and much, much more than that, wreckless and dangerous statements that will affect this nation, the youth and underserved community. it's a mystery that our president would not listen to his own advisors. >> sure. and in fact, the national institute on drug abuse says that adolescent use of marijuana

does something that alcohol does not do. it lowers your i.q. and can cause permanent brain damage. >> well, we need to make sure that our president understands that. he seems to be aligning himself with drug legalizer, drug dealers and drug pusher in the sense that we hear him quoting their mantra that alcohol -- that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and tobacco. that's the mantra that the drug legalizers are using. we need our president to step to the plate and not push another drug in this country. we're not doing a great job with tobacco. tobacco kills 5 million people a year. alcohol kills 2.5 million people a year. it is insane, mr. president, to legalize another drug. >> especially when he says one

thing and the white house web site and the federal government says something else. bishop, this is not theoretical to you. you were hooked on drugs. >> absolutely. and i want to say to the youth, it's hard to say, but in this case, please do not listen to the statement of our president and do not touch drugs at all. do the research yourself. i was hooked on marijuana and it led to crack cocaine. and i know that some individuals out there are saying, well, you had a drug or an addictive personality. i want to let you know that youth do not mess with drugs. our president seems to either be ill, misinformed, or flat out ignoring the vice of his policy and prevention experts. do the research yourself. i'm begging you, please, please do not mess with marijuana or

any drug. mr. president, i'd like to ask you a question, sir: is this the legacy that you want to leave the youth of this nation, a drug riddled nation for our youth? >> good question. bishop ron allen joining us from san francisco where he says don't listen to the president on this one. bishop, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> what do you think about what he just said? e-mail us. file this understand dumb. antifracking protesters try to make a statement by glueing themselves to gas pumps. one problem, they glued themselves to the wrong gas pumps. dr. mark siegle is live from lucky's cafe in new york city. dr. siegle, what are you doing there this morning? >> i'm going to makeover your breakfast this morning. which is better for you, english muffins or toast? sweet potatoes or home fries? you'll find out right after the

they're happy. we'll find out if that's true. they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. >> are you making the most out of your breakfast each morning? >> our fox news medical a team, dr. mark siegle, is about to show us some simple food swaps that will jump start your morning. hey, you're joining us from lucky's cafe here in new york city. >> good morning, elisabeth. actually lucky's is open 24 hours. but not all the choices everybody makes are the right ones. old handles die hard and bad eaters die young. so the question is, how do we decrease the amount of bad food, increase fiber, fruit and vegetables, which has been shown in studies to decrease obesity and decrease the risk for heart disease and other bad medical outcomes. i'm here are buckie and greg. that's his son. greg, tell me how you get people to eat right here. >> we offer a choice. if you don't see it on the menu, then you're less likely to order it. so if you see a healthy choice, and we can encourage you to eat

it, then it's much easier to make that choice. >> can you actually serve people food different than they want? like how about bringing some tomatoes and saying, sir, instead of a potato, have this? or how about oatmeal today, sir? >> oh, yeah. we do that with our regular customers all the time. we encourage them to eat healthy and stay healthy and be active. that's very important for us here. >> i'm going to walk over to our first person this morning that's being served breakfast. hello, sir. >> hi. >> how you doing? what do you usually eat? >> usually i have eggs and some turkey or omlette, vegetable omlette. >> looks like you're getting some healthy choices today. this is loaded with cheddar, very high in fat. you got the potatoes, high in fat. big carbohydrate. bad for your digestion. going to make you gain weight. over here you have a much healthier egg white with apples. what do you think of the

difference? >> i think it makes all the difference in the world. feel so much better when i stay away from the bread and the potatoes, the cheese, fruits and vegetables is the way to go. >> how do you get yourself to do that? >> just like anything else. perseverance. keep doing it and making myself feel better. >> keep it up. stick with that. all right. over here we have somebody else. sir, good morning. did anyone ever tell you that you look like the famous tv legend, geraldo rivera? >> no. >> never told you that? >> he doesn't have a beard. he's a different kind of fellow. very mellowed down cheeks. i'm a little more robust. >> you look good with a beard. this is geraldo rivera. tell me what you're eating. is this what they actually -- this is what you ordered this morning? >> no. what i order was far less healthy. i have regular eggs with the

yokes and bacon and home fries. but they put this in front of me. i mean, in quantity it looks all right. but it looks a little on the healthy side for me. >> how do you feel about forced substitution? do you think we can be the food police? can i do this without getting into a legal problem here? geraldo is one of the top legal minds in the country. can new york city force you to eat this, geraldo? >> i heard lucky saying that he advises his regular customers to eat in a more healthy fashion. sounds kind of mothering. it's charming in a way, especially in new york where people tend not to care. you want to eat gunk that clogs your arteries, go right ahead. but here they're more open minded, more modern. they're trying to get more people, as you are, doctor, to eat healthy and live long and prosper. >> you think if you get in the habit of eating tomatoes, you'll be better off than if you eat potatoes? i have to tell you, lycopenes are in tomatoes and fiber.

then your sugar doesn't get absorbed in the wrong places. it gets absorbed in the right places. this fish is better for you than bacon. i know you're healthy and so you're fooling around with me. but tell me, isn't this more like what you think we should eat? >> you know, what you think you should eat and what you eat tend to be different. realistically, when i get up, i want a piece of bread and a cup of coffee and that kind of fuels me. i'm not a big breakfast guy generally speaking. except for brunch on the weekends. the key so brunch and healthy eating to me is a bloody mary. >> i'm going to be -- i'm getting myself invited over for that. this english muffin over here, this is the best thing to have because it's much less carbohydrate. it tastes great. you're cutting down a lot what you have on the toast. anyway, back to you in new york. >> i'm reading geraldo's body language, he wants you out of there. he just wants to be left alone. >> he wants the bloody mary now. >> i think he's sneaking bacon. >> i'm treating him. this breakfast is on me, though. so he's going for it.

>> nine bucks. comes out of our budget. >> dr. siegle live at lucky's cafe here in manhattan where they try to help people eat healthier. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> that guy did look like geraldo. >> he really did. coming up straight ahead, two minutes before the bottom of the hour, a family left clueless for years by grandma's mystery code. this morning it's finally been cracked. what she was trying to tell them. >> and do you remember this? the distracted texting woman who walked right into a mall fountain? up next, big government wants to come down on people just like her. you've got to hear one. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announc ] your eyes. even at a distance of 10 mis...

what would happen when it's phased in. it's impacting so many lives. what's interesting is we were told the reason we need is because there are 50 million people in this country without insurance. according to the data so far, of the people who have bought coverage under obamacare, only 11% of those people did not have insurance before. so you got to wonder so far, was it really worth blowing everything up? now you look at big companies like aetna and what they're saying is, because so few people have signed up, they might actually have to jack up their rates to the point where they have to get out of the business because people aren't going to be able to pay it. >> right. according to documents released by the administration, potentially could lead to the default and disrupt continued coverage to consumers, meaning americans. the problem is that in addition, the back end where they're trying to figure out who signed up for what, what subsidy

they'll be allotted and what insurer or plan they're covered under, all that back end is not working. so there is a ton of confusion and uncertainty in the insurance industry right now, leading many to think there could be a -- aetna's ceo is one. he had this to say as to why. >> he said are they going to be double digit increases? they're going to figure it out may 15 of this year, or are we going to get beat up because they're double digit or have to pull out of the program? those questions can't be answered until we see the population we have today. we really don't have a good view on that because so few people have signed up. now they're going to have to jack up the prices and that means they don't want to do that and they might get out of the program. >> so basically what you're saying is since only 11% of the people who didn't have insurance have signed up for it, what he's concluded is that these people have shifted -- we've shifted the insured from the individual

market, which the president told everybody is bad, to the public exchanges, which could be heading towards single payer. kathleen sebelius was caught up to yesterday and talking about the program. a lot of these insurance companies' concerns. here is what she said about the state of it. listen to what she said at thend of it, i find disconcerting. >> only 300 insurers in the whole country and they have signed off on -- i mean, we will get them paid. there is no question about that. but we're on track. there are still parts of the site that are -- were not consumer facing for october 1 that need to be developed as we move forward. so the whole financial reconciliation piece, which we have a manual we'll work around with insurers right now, is in the process of being completed. >> the manual work around is the insurance companies call the federal government and they say, okay. we've signed up this many people

and we believe that their subsidy is this. so you need to cut us, the insurance company, this check. trust us. >> the honor system. >> the honor system. >> that back end that's not working, don't worry. we've got the manual work around. >> stop talking about my back end. >> it's inappropriate all around. but charles krauthammer said look, you want to say that we're on track? it's not on track. we're on track to disaster. >> i love the way it's downplayed as it's a back end problem. make it sound like a runningback with a sprained gluteious maximus. the healthcare.gov, the sign-up communicates with the insurer. and right now what that document will say in alarming tones is because the back ends wasn't constructed, there is no way to communicate either accurate or any information about who the person is and if that person is

insured. >> it's like if i asked my son, did you do your term paper? i'ma manual work around. essentially no? >> let's give him the a ahead of time and you can clean it up at the back en. >> nothing is coming out, so i have to call myself and jot it down. steve, you did a fascinating firey interview about 45 minutes ago. >> right, with somebody who has been hooked on drugs and he was very disappointed with the president of the united states who said this to the new yorker magazine. this is our president speak. quote, i view it, pot, as a very bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes i smoked as a young person, though, during a big chunk of my adult life. i don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol. so he's saying pot, no worse than cigarettes or alcohol. here is the thing, he's the commander in chief, the leader of the country. but when you go on to the white house web site, they say that marijuana is a dangerous drug. you shouldn't do it.

in fact, according to the white house, mr. president, look at your own web site -- marijuana smoke, in fact, contains 50 to 70% more cars genics than smoke. it's said permanent brain damage can occur if you smoke pot and it can lower your i.k. so it --i.q. >> bishop ron allen was on our show a short while ago. he is extremely upset about the message because he has a history of drug abuse in his own life. >> our president seems to either be ill, misinformed or flat out ignoring the vice of his policy and prevention experts. mr. president, i'd like to ask you a question, sir: is this the legacy that you want to leave the youth of this nation, a drug riddleed nation for our

yep. he joins us each week to answer your questions and help you, too, rebuild your dreams if you need that. fox news legal analyst and real estate guru, the guy we call when we're in vegas, mr. bob massi joins us live from vegas. >> good morning. >> first up, cory sent an e-mail. we wondered if you could help her. i have a foreclosure date of january 29. first my lender lost my

paperwork, then they found it and said sorry. i have three kids with special needs and a wife who is disabled. what can i do? that's a great question. but you would think the problem would be with the lender since they lost the paperwork. >> the problem is i picked this question for two reasons. one is to show the lack of heart that these lenders still have for people in hardship situations. the second part is this, those who have the gold, steve, i've said it for year, make the golden rule. the fact that they lost the paperwork, unfortunately doesn't mean that they don't have the right to foreclose because if payments aren't made, if they -- if in fact, they have the right to foreclose. actually at this point in time, the big thing i tell people is, you have to come to reality that if they are not willing to help, you have to move on to another place even though i know how difficult this is going to be for her circumstance. you can have a lawyer look at it. we're expensive in what we do, unfortunately. so it's a difficult

circumstance. maybe she could try to go to legal aid. some propono lawyer to see if there is she can do to keep her home. once that foreclosure date is set, it's tough to continue it. >> that's tough. next up, kay writes to you: my daughter and son are being foreclosed upon. they've been making partial payments, but now the lender won't take their money. how long can they stay in their home? is short sale an option? >> they can stay in their home as long as the lender, after the foreclosure or the person that buys the foreclosure, allows them to. usually what happens, if the lender buys the home back, they have a management company involved, they usually will give the people 60 to 90 days to get out of the house. sometimes today's market, they'll actually let the people stay in the home and give them a lease in order to stay in the home for a period of time so it's occupied. you can short sale that home up until the time that that house is in your name.

the problem is, once the foreclosure begins, the short sale becomes a little more difficult because you have time of the essence because with a short sale, it can take a while for the lender to approve that. so something you could do, but once that's out of your name, they can tell you to get out. >> it sounds like with all these proceedings, you want to do as much as you can before you get oophor closure because once you hit foreclosure, you don't have -- >> the problem is, you bring up a good point. these lenders, remember, a lot of them are still holding on to the homes that have been foreclosed, shadow inventory. you have those lends that are foreclosed and are not moving the market at all because values in vegas and florida are going up because of supply and command there. these lenders are holding on to these homes that they foreclose on. they're either renting them out or paying the property taxes and insurance so the values of the homes are going up and they're going to retrieve and get some of their money back that they lost. >> final quick question from jay brooks. i have a small equity loan with a smaller bank. it's been written off their

books. i'm paying interest only on a monthly basis. what should i do? >> very important that our viewers understand real quick. if they charge it off or write it off, doesn't mean you don't owe the debt. you still owe the debt. they just basically have put it on their books. they're only charging interest only. if, in fact, you default on that interest and if that home equity loan was usually a second mortgage, they have the right again to foreclose on that property. real quick, if a debt, steve, is assigned to a collection agency. in most states, let's say you owe 100,000. if a collection agency pays 50, on most states, they can't go after you for that 100. they can only go after you for the amount that they paid for that debt. make sure you check the laws of the lawyer in that state if that debt has been assigned to a third party. >> bob, i think you've helped at least three people and a couple million just got good advice for free. thank you very much. by the way, if you got a question for bob, e-mail him to

24 minutes past the hour. time for quick headlines. an inferno in dallas destroys an entire block of homes in a matter of minutes. the flames racing from home to home, gutting the entire condo complex. most of the units were vacant because they were being renovated. you're looking for a summer vacation spot. how about sunny iran? the country is launching a new campaign to promote tourism to the region, saying they have fantastic culture and beaches, all this while iran is currently holding two americans in prison on bogus charges. brian? >> thanks. congressman louis gohmert, seeing the devastating effects of obamacare firsthand. this week he confirm he dropped his family's health care coverage all together to save

money. otherwise his deductible would increase from $3,000 to $6,000 and his policy price, from $300 to $1,500. here to explain that and a whole lot more, congressman louis gohmert. you don't want to pay this, so now you have no insurance, nor does your family? >> well, my daughters are over 21. they're adults now. but one of them could be under the 26 limit. but the problem is that when obamacare actually kicked in just as we knew, if you liked your insurance, as i did. i had a health savings account -- then i wasn't going to be able to keep it because it doesn't meet the requirements -- my other policy, i didn't have maternity care. i got to have it if obamacare is going to say i have a legitimate policy. so i didn't drop it. it's a matter of it not being

consistent with the requirements of obamacare. since my wife and i are paying off our kids' college loans because if i had not run for public office, if i had stayed in the private sector, their college was taken care of, i didn't want them to have to sacrifice because i made the decision of going into public service. so that's where we are. i don't have an extra $1,200 a month and we are setting money aside in the event we need it. don't forget, 40 years ago, hardly anybody in the country had health insurance. this is one of the areas we really need reform in. so whatever something costs, it ought to be posted. somebody paying cash ought to get the same deal, blue cross, aetna and others get. >> yeah. we have to have some way of understanding how much all this stuff costs. right now we're all blind to it. let's move to another topic that caused some controversy. first let's hear a sound bite of

something that you said on the house floor. >> we're seeing more and more young women, single women come before me, single moms charged with welfare fraud. >> so you went on to say one of the reasons you got into public service, got into congress is because of this. do you want to expand on that? >> yeah. i talked at length on the floor and literally, thank god for fox news, you get the truth out. you get actually what was said. the left tried to say i was attacking single moms. if you listen to what i said, the whole point was it bugged the fire out of me that these young women and the stories were usually very, very similar -- they got bored with high school and somebody said hey, drop out. the government will send awe check for every child you can have out of wedlock. they have one child and find out, it's really not enough to live on. have another and another.

fortunately, everybody didn't do that, but what got me is for so many young women, the government, meaning well, lured them into a hole or rut they couldn't get out of without having to try to cheat and get a job and keep the welfare. >> real quick -- >> it's the government's fault. >> they misconstrued what you said. here is what msnbc said. they said this, family decay, single moms get blamed for poverty from the gop. so they characterize your statement, your statement as saying republicans are blaming single moms for all these problems, which you just explained is not the truth. so that -- >> it was the government's fault for luring them away from their god-given potential. we need to encourage and incentivize young women. not declare war on them by leading them into ruts like the democrats did. you want to see who cares, it's

the people that try to help them reach their potential. not lure them into servitude away from it. so the problem is the government. not those single moms. >> now you're in public service and you have a law degree and was a judge, but now you're doing this. thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks. always good to talk to you. coming up straight ahead, do you really know what's in your soda? the f.d.a. is trying to find out. plus, check out the person horsing around behind the local reporter. literally. a video bomb behind a reporter just trying to tell a weather story. ♪ ♪ good job!

>> labor department releasing brand-new weekly jobless numbers and nicole petallides is live at the new york stock exchange. good news, bad news? what's the news? >> it's still relatively low, which is good news. it came right in line with the estimate. so 326,000 claims for this week the four-week moving average remains low. the problem is that you still have unemployment and so many americans, we talk about that

labor force portion rate at 30-year levels. you have so many americans who either have given up looking for work are still incredibly frustrated because they're taking jobs that are part-time rather than full time or that they are overqualified for. so the job market is still obviously a big deal. >> so let's take -- you listen. i don't know if you have a monitor. there is fox polls that came out on the economy to find out exactly how people feel. for example, when it comes to unemployment, 40%, when you look at this -- >> so since i can't hear you. our fox news poll. where americans are frustrated. let's go ahead and put that up. jobs and unemployment, 40%. that was the number one issue. and that's exactly what we're talking about here. deficit and government spending came in second with 36%. income inequality also a big issue. and taxes, just 6%. i beg to differ. if i walk around, i think people

would rate those equally. a quick note, the markets are looking to the down side. there was concerns about china manufacturing. netflix is going to be a big winner today and keep an eye on blackberry, coach and american eagle outfitters. those will be some of your movers. since i can't hear you, right back to you. >> we can hear you. thank you very much, nicole petallides. brian and elisabeth, about a half hour ago, we discovered that according to the people who make fruit loops, even though they're different colors -- >> the engineers. >> they all taste the same. >> apparently. >> and brian got nostalgic for the days of qu circumstances sp -- quisp. we heard they made it in the '60s and stopped making it in the '70s. look at this. on amazon.com, you can still buy quisp. six box is 50 bucks. >> do we know what it's made out of? was i getting any nutrients?

elisabeth didn't know what i was talking about. at least she knows i don't have a speech impediment. >> i don't know what she eats for breakfast, but heather is here laughing. >> that explains a lot, that you ate quisp. you can't be an adult and say that word. >> all right. thank you so much. any moment from now, justin bieber is expected to walk out of a miami beach police station. he got in a lot of trouble earlier this morning. the 19-year-old arrested about 4 a.m he is accused of drag racing while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. in a yellow lambourghini. police say his friends used two cars to block off residential streets in miami so he could race against a red ferrari. this arrest is just the latest brush with the law that he's had. authorities raiding his home in california and arresting a friends of his after finding ecstasy. this just in, food coloring

so it's important to look at their track record in terms of terrorism. lots of those folks very loyal, valiant soldiers in this elite force killed, but so many hostages, russian hostages have been killed as a result of their efforts to rescue them. let's look at some of these interesting events. the famous moscow theater siege back in october 2002. hundreds held hostage in a theater. as a result after they poured poison gas into the theater, 113 hostages were killed. the russian authorities would not tell the russian doctors what chemical agent was used to treat those hostages. the peasant school crisis september 2004. 1200 held hostage. over 300 hostages killed as a result of the attack by the alpha team. the hospital crisis, january 1996. 3,000 held hostage. 40 people killed. finally, the hospital crisis in

january '94. about 100 people killed while hundreds held hostage. so americans will not be relying on navy seals, green berets, rangers, l.a., kansas city or new york city swat teams. they'll be relying on the alpha team of the fsb, which is now situated in sochi and has been in training. they've also trained with american forces here in the united states for an unknown reason. so it's not known whether they were benefitting from some of the tactics that we have. we have offered to share with the russians our improvised device search facilities. we don't know if they're taking them yet. >> they haven't responded to that. >> we don't know. >> if you have an athlete there, as a parent, they want to know if they should travel. we heard of one family being asked to stay back. >> multiple athletes have said i'm not going to send my family to this event. the coast, 71-kilometer train route through the mountains

built by president putin, security people say there are so many risks inherent in this sochi olympics. if i were a parent, i would await the word of president obama. i would await the word of president obama in a national address or from the oval office saying yes, i believe that we're doing everything we reasonly can and i'm confident that i would send my own children to the sochi olympics. that's the word that we await in america. if there is anything less, then i think people have to make a very hard decision based on what's going on. based on the state department alert, based on the fact we're going to position warships, based upon the history of the team of rescuing hostages in the past. would i send my child? no, i would not. >> peter johnson, jr., thank you. coming up, it was the one moment during the presidential election you didn't see.

fox news alert. police have just arrested five men in connection with a 1978 lufthansa heist at kennedy airport. more than $5 million in cash and a million dollars in jewels were stolen back on december 11, 1978. the heist made famous in the movie "goodfellows" back in 1990. the arrests were the result of an f.b.i. search last summer at the new york home of james jimmy the gent, burke. finally, after all these years, arrests made. all right. now to this topic. he ran for president of the united states twice and lost. critics contend mitt romney could never quite connect with everyday voters. but. >> the new documentary showing a more personal side of romney and gives a behind the scenes look at his two white house runs. >> very hard time in these debates. george herbert walker did, because they feel like who is

idea. let me take it to my dad. and mitt said no. but ann romney said yes. and so tag was sort of going back and forth between his mom and dad and finally called me and said, look, i can't tell you to give up your christmas, but if you show up here christmas eve, you may not get kicked out. with that slight glimmer of hope, i packed up my family. we drove. it was the day before christmas eve. we drove up to park city. we stayed over christmas with a friend and on christmas eve, i just showed up to mitt's place and knocked on the door and he opened it, kind of rolled his eyes and let me in. i just started flipping and i kept filming. >> you never stopped? >> i never stopped. >> we know the family is so central as it runs through. i'm looking forward to seeing this. we have a clip here that actually gives insight into governor romney as he was preparing his concession speech with his family. take a listen. >> what do you think you say in a concession speech?

congratulate president obama. they deserve congratulations. i wish all them well. particularly the president, the first lady and their daughters. i bid the president be successful in guiding the nation. >> that pause after he asked for input, family took it as hard as a candidate? >> i think harder. that's my impression. i think for some reason, i think mitt is kind of wired in such a way -- i remember him telling me that his dad, george, had told him if you're going to get engaged in public service, you put yourself out there and if the public doesn't want your public service, that's fine. i think mitt would tell me over and over, look, i've got a great life. if it doesn't work out for me in politic, it will be fine. the family is harder. >> it's too bad the public couldn't see this before the election. >> i hadn't filmed the ending

yet. so that would have been hard. but i take that as a compliment. i think i show a side of mitt romney that perhaps didn't properly come out during the campaign. >> can you stick around?
