tv The Kelly File FOX News February 4, 2014 6:00pm-7:01pm PST
6:00 pm
of people estimated to watch that interview. please always remember the spin stops here, because we're definitely looking out for you. >> i'm megan kelly live from new york city, and tonight -- >> a new health care bombshell raising new questions about the administration's credibility as the president gets called out for congress about claims he made in his o'reilly interview. >> was it the biggest mistake of your presidency to tell the nation over and over, if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance. >> you have a long list of my mistakes. >> we have brit hume on that. james carville on what he thinks of hillary clinton going after the one media outlet that gave her a fair shake when she ran for president. and then dramatic backlash after the academy awards says no to an award for a christian movie.
6:01 pm
tonight we'll speak with the oscar winning producer calling this faith based bigotry. plus one of the most controversial jeopardy winners in a decade talks with us about all the heat he's taking on the kelly file right now. developing tonight, new questions about honesty and accountability on the part of the president and his administration. in the face of a damaging new report on the health care overhaul and a tv interview in which some facts were at least misstated. welcome to the kelly file, everyone, i'm megyn kelly. we'll get to the breaking news on obama care and its impact on our economy and american workers in a minute, first, the president's super bowl sunday interview with bill o'reilly still making news for several dubious claims made by the president. first on the health care website. >> right away we decided how we're going to fix it, it got fixed. within a month and a half it was
6:02 pm
up and running and now it's working the way it's supposed to. >> tell that to thousands of americans the washington post just reported on, who say the government is still unable to fix the mistakes that the website made when they first signed up, and then there's the enrollment numbers. >> we're about a month behind of where we anticipate we wanted to be. we have over 6 million people who signed up for medicaid. >> the washington post already before he gave this interview, gave that claim three pinocchios. because the president is claiming credit for medicare enrollees, who are just reenroling in a program they were already in. it has nothing to do with obama care. >> people don't know why something like this happens, if you look at the videotape of this whole thing unfolding. this is not some systematic well organized process. >> that despite a bipartisan report from the senate intel committee finding al qaeda groups were directly involved.
6:03 pm
the claim that may be generating the most controversy is when the president spoke about the investigation into the irs, investigation ongoing into the irs targeting of conservative political groups. >> you're saying no corruption? >> no. >> there was some bone headed decisions out of a -- >> but no mass corruption? >> not even mass corruption, not even a smidgen of corruption. >> really? well, there you have the verdict before the trial is officer. how is the president able to say that when the investigation is still ongoing? we have team coverage of these question questions. todareaction from one lawmaker to that last claim about the irs as he pressed a top official with the justice department on how president obama was able to make that claim. >> how can the president of the united states go on tv on super
6:04 pm
bowl sunday and say that there's not a smidgen of corruption in this investigation. not a smidgen of corruption in the irs on how they targeted conservative groups. how can he be so sure when it's an ongoing investigation. >> i think you should probably address that question to the white house. >> if he didn't say i think there is, nothing probably isn't, he said there's not a smidgen of corruption. he was emphatic, he was dog mattic, he knew for certain, and no one's briefed him? the president could be a potential target in this investigation. and yet the person leading the investigation gave $6,000 to his campaign? >> she's not heading up the team, congressman. >> there are many -- >> the witnesses we talked to asked all the questions when they've been interviewed. the president said there's not a smidgen of corruption. the president has already reached a decision. >> jim jordan is on the house oversite committee, he's the man you heard there, questioning the deputy attorney general. it's good to see you again tonight. >> good to be with you. >> the president going on
6:05 pm
national television on super bowl sunday, never more eyeballs on the television, and tells our own bill o'reilly there's not a smidgen of evidence of corruption. you're trying to get to the bottom of what in your questioning? >> let's remember the basics, you have barbara boxer, a maxout contributor to the president's campaign. she gets picked to head up the investigation. so i believe the president can be confident because he knows his person's running the show. his person's running the investigation. we can't get one answer from the fbi, one answer from the justice department about how many people are assigned to this case, who the lead agent is, how they're doing it, the president's comment even though it's an ongoing investigation. >> you're trying to get facts about the investigation. and what have they been telling you at justice? >> in the last five days, i've received two letters from mr.
6:06 pm
cole. seven different times in those two letters he tells me it's an ongoing investigation that's why barbara boxer can't testify before committee. the president is confident there's not a smidgen of corruption that took place there, and as we heard two weeks ago, leaked to the wall street journal, there's no recommendations for prosecution. they don't think they're going to recommend any leaks coming from the justice department. how does that reassure the american people this is a real genuine credible investigation. >> what is the commander in chief coming out there and announcing the verdict before it has officially been reached by the jury, at least as far as they're telling you? justice is saying they haven't concluded whether there should be criminal charges brought. and the president of the united states is saying, it's done. >> yeah, i think -- is he sending a signal to miss boxer? here's what i want to have happen. remember, barbara boxer is a maxup, $6,750 she gave to the
6:07 pm
obama campaign over the last few years. she has a financial interest in the outcome, in the president. and yesterday she's heading the investigation the fix is in. the person heading the con strib bugs gave him a bunch of money. i think he sent her a signal sunday when he talked to mr. o'reilly. here's what we need to have happen, no problem here. >> he was asked, jay carney was asked whether he spoke in that interview. jay carney said absolutely not, he did not misspeak. we will see where this goes. thank you. >> thank you, megyn. the nonpartisan congressional budget office now predicts fewer americans will be working full time in the coming years thanks to obama care. back in 2011, the cbo estimated
6:08 pm
the overhaul could relate in 800,000 fewer full time workers. today the cbo says the number is actually triple its original estimates. it's not 800,000, it's 2.3 million. critics are now suggesting the law encourages people not to work. the white house has a different story. ed henry is our chief white house correspondent. ed? >> a devastating report for the white house because of those numbers you just laid out. republicans pouncing on them and saying, this proves their long claim that this new law is a jobs killer. the white house begs to differ, they know this is a difficult report, so they immediately try to stop the bleeding, went on defense and basically said, look, this proves that republican claims, employers are going to set jobs. what the cbo is saying, employees on their own, because of the new choices they have, are going to decide that maybe it's better to keep a part time job instead of a full time job, because if they stay part time,
6:09 pm
they'll get these generous government subsidies to get health insurance. and one of the president's top economic aides used this example, you may have a worker working 60 hours a week with no health insurance, may decide on their own if they work 35 hours to get health insurance. if you cut your hours like that, won't you have less money in your pocket? >> less money to put into the economy. >> right, but we just described that example. >> it's a hypothetical. >> again, it's a choice they're making. >> this doesn't -- they had something before, which was a 65 hour job and maybe no health care and no great health care options. >> the white house also is touting the fact that the cbo elsewhere in this report talks about those controversial risk
6:10 pm
quarters that could lead to a government bailout of insurance companies. the corners are actually providing a profit to the government, the bottom line is, when you look at the report in total, there's going to be new ammunition for republicans heading into the midterm elections. ed, thank you. as the white house is challenged on health care on the irs, benghazi and so on at the end of the day, the president's response to bill o'reilly on all of those things sounded something like this. >> these guys keep on surfacing, in part because you and your tv station will promote them, the list is issued, you talk about it. >> but the questions are defined by you guys -- i think regardless of whether it's fair enough, it has made fox news very successful. >> brit hummes our fox news senior political analyst. we heard that repeatedly, i want to get to the meat of the
6:11 pm
scandals, it seemed like the president was suggesting if it weren't for fox news, there wouldn't be scandals that four people died in benghazi and the irs was targeting conservative groups and so on. >> well, a classic definition of a scandal, not the event itself that causes it, the uproar that ensues, and i suppose his point is, if we wouldn't keep reporting on this or trying to, that it would all blow away, and that would be the fair outcome. clearly as you heard in the previous reports, they remain unanswered questions about what happened in the irs case, that's why it's still under investigation, there are certain unanswered questions about what happened in benghazi, including what the president himself did on the night of the attacks, what he said to who, to whom, and there are also questions that bill o'reilly tried to get answers to, for example, about what leon panetta told him on the day of the event itself. there's plenty out there for news people to remain curious about, it's not fox news's fault
6:12 pm
that not all news media have been as curious about them as ours has. >> on the irs targeting -- the left likes to say, progressive groups were targeted as well, and there's some evidence of that, but the facts show that seven progressive groups are targeted, an average of five additional questions were asked of liberal groups, the liberals were approved at a rate of 100%. conservatives at a rate of 40%. there's a disparity there that bears investigating. my question for you is, we've seen the irs scandal, the benghazi scandal, obama care and all of its problems, and we're seeing a constant deterioration in the trust the american people have for this president. the latest poll puts it at 50/50, it's almost dead even the number of people who trust him. 49%. he used to be almost 60%
6:13 pm
trustworthy. and the fall keeps on coming. >> people are reluctant to reach that conclusion about a president. people want to trust the president, and give him the benefit of the doubt, and for a long period of time, they did with this president. partly i think that's because he's a winsome personality, you saw it as he was criticizing fox news, i would never recommend if i were a political adviser that you with a tack a particular news organization, least of all on some very highly, widely seen national television interview. he did it with a certain good humored way about him, a smile on his face and so on, i think it is a sign of the times that he is facing these questions about his trust worth thinkness, he's taken to attacking the media, the thing he said that struck me as being most absurd is when he said that, you know, he didn't know what we were going to do, we at fox news, after he was gone. we need -- perhaps he would need to know that we were the top
6:14 pm
rated cable news channel starting in 2002, that was seven years before he came along and took office, we're very likely to remain that after he's gone. the idea that we made our way based on attacking him is not born out by the evidence, and i think was a foolish thing for him to say many i think he did as well as he could. >> before i let you go, your thought on this new barack obama care report that we just heard from ed henry, about how now all these millions of people are expected to stop working, because they -- they're choosing to, which is great, but as one of the panelists on special report put earlier, the rest of america may not want to choose to support them with the subsidies, and yet they have to. >> well, basically what this says is, whatever employers may decide to do to get around obama care, and whether or not they decide to drop workers or to cut
6:15 pm
back people to part time hours, whatever they decide, employers, there's a whole other side of the equation, and that's the workers themselves, and this report plainly asserts that in a much larger way than the cbo originally thought, obama care is going to discourage work. now here we have an economy struggling to find its footing and get going on the kind of robust recovery we've been hoping for. and here comes a programess spoused by the president at least at the lower income levels will discourage work. that is not -- that is not good news for the economy. and i don't think it will be seen as good news by anybody. >> well, i don't know if you're right about that. the white house came out today and tried to tout it as such, brit, it's great to see you, as always. >> that was a sad briefing. his answers to the questions were just pathetic. >> britain untapped mean streak
6:16 pm
in mr. humes. >> i have to sympathize with the guy myself, i wouldn't want to conduct that briefing. >> good to see you, brit. if you're wondering what the president's attacks on fox news are all about. last night, a political analyst on this broadcast suggested he was all about the 2014 midterms. now reports of serious hand ringing from the white house and the president over that very thing. look at this headline, high anxiety for obama and democrats. in the washington post, 2014 senate races may be a referendum on obama. if so, democrats should worry. democrats and senate pressure obama. those are just a few, there are plenty more. the question is, is it -- i know there's that pesky obama care thing you guys don't want to run on, but did i mention the evil platitudes are still out there.
6:17 pm
>> this is fantasy politics, like fantasy football. the president saying, look, it's none of the things that we know normally provide the political gravity that crashes parties into the ground. none of these things are really true. the discouraged workers, people dropping out of the workforce because of obama care, not true, doesn't matter. benghazi, not true, not real. irs targeting, not true, not real. the president is trying to create an alternate reality for his party, blaming the fox news channel and other people for creating this false reality, the question is, how much longer are democrats willing to live in that space with him? and i think maybe not much longer. >> obama care's not going away, the president can say it's a nonissue. it is an issue, it is. political analysts on both sides of the aisle have been honest about that. the talking points on obama care, and how these democrats are going to go after it seem to be evolving.
6:18 pm
here's jeanne shaheen, a democrat running for re-election. listen to her take on how obama care is going to be spun. >> at least for people who are willing to pay more, that they have that option of going to their doctor and hospital no matter what their insurer does. >> so you can keep your doctor if you like your doctor, if you are willing to pay more? is that how they're going to go into these elections? >> she didn't even sound like she was ready to deliver the talking points, that's what's funny, this isn't something she was just having a bad day, this is something that the administration has put out before to say, well, technically if you think about it, we kept the promise, it will cost you more. we heard emmanuel and others who were part of the loss say, it's technically true. that's not going to feed the bulldogs for voters in new hampshire or a host of other states. where senate democrats have to deal with this issue, and the idea that that's where they are, it's pretty late in the game.
6:19 pm
the president met with senate democrats yesterday. the majority leader. he met today with house members and house leadership, and they're all talking about one thing, what are we going to say about obama care. it's pretty late in the game to be getting to this issue, it is what this election is going to be about, and if jeanne shaheen's comments are indicative of where the party's talking points are at this inpot, this route is going to turn into something real bad for the president's party. >> ye, you're seeing more and more of these headlines talking about how the democrats may lose the senate which is the main thing they don't want to lose. interesting, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, as long as you pay more. >> that's true. >> thank you. >> you bet. coming up, james carville on what he thinks of hillary clinton going after the one media outlet that she said gave her a fair shake back in 2008. plus -- >> one of america's most popular

seinfeld, one of the most popular tv slows of all time. which is one reason why there's a lot of shock from some as the show's star jerry seinfeld standses accuses of being a racist. here's part of the interview that started the controversy. >> you're funny, i'm interested, you're not funny, i'm not interested. i have no interest in gender or race or anything like that but everyone else is kind of with their little calculating, is this the exact right mix? i think that's to me, that's anti-comedy. it's more about pc nonsense than, are you making us laugh or not. >> joining me now, david webb and alexis mcgill johnson. he was asked that, why he featured so many white men in his web series, comedians in cars. his answer was basically, i don't think of it in terms of
6:25 pm
black and white. i think of it in terms of funny or not funny, it works out this way. now you have some people in particular talking about how, well, he's not interested in trying to include naurn white in anything in his work, and he's downplaying the work of everyone from richard pryor and bill cosby to others. yes, comedy should represent the entire pie chart of america. >> what are we going to have now, the comedy police? or the keystone cops as i would have to call that? comedy is about being politically incorrect, about telling a story. are you telling me that when i've been on shows, is that are predominantly black shows, pretty much all black cast, crew whatever. there's some racism if it's all black or white? this is ridiculous. seinfeld is 100% right. it's taking our real lives and extending them. >> yes, it's comedy, but he
6:26 pm
seemed to be suggesting -- they accuse him of -- i just can't find any funny black people. >> yeah, i don't think that's exactly what he was saying at all. they're projecting a little bit of that on to him, i'm not sure i would use the r word around that. i think what some of his critics are saying, he taps into a little bit of experience, particularly people of color, when we watch seinfeld, is this question of like, you know, do you actually have any friends of color? do you have anybody who's in your life that mirrors the examples of other people in the world? i think it would say, they know, right? when you look at the data, you know, americans are more segregated now than they were -- the reality is that. >> here's the shock for america. there's always going to be more white than black. >> and by the way, what's the
6:27 pm
required number of black people at a party to make you not racist or hispanic or asian or whatever. >> i don't think it rises to that level. >> i can't take this seriously, i mock these people. let's mock them for what they are. >> alleging recent -- >> right. seinfeld's no more racist for having predominantly white or any other, than the totally biassed or some other show for having all black. are you saying they don't have white? it's ridiculous. >> should there be a quota system in a television show like seinfeld? we need to make elaine black otherwise we're racist? >> i think there are opportunities, right? i think when any casting director makes a choice, whether it's an extra or what have you, they have a choice whether they can bring somebody on and create a different representation. i think throwing around the r word is irresponsible. i think critics really are trying -- people who may feel alienated by the experience are really trying to get at -- can
6:28 pm
you make different choices and actually be an artist and imagine a different world? >> if they want jerry seinfeld, he's got a lot of power, especially in a world of comedy, to think like that, look at it like that, is the best way of doing that, to accuse him of being a racist, who's insensitive to black people? or does that just shut down? >> it's a simple question, are there black people who watched seinfeld until it went off the air in '98? >> only the racist ones. >> only the racist ones watch it, this is why i can't take them so seriously. racism is a serious charge. it belongs where there is proof, where there are actions, things that need to be dealt with. you diminish it when you do this stuff, i do mock them, he's no more racist for what he did with whatever cast he chose, than anybody on a black or -- by the way, japan. i get nhk, a japanese channel at home. it's japan culture, are they racist for having asians on and
6:29 pm
not representing the blacks? >> your point about anxiety is right, right? since that -- it's going to shut down a conversation, if you're going to hurl accusations, that's going to make people go in a different direction. what i would hope people would do is ask a different question, what is possible and how can we start -- i think jerry seinfeld would be on that same page. >> great debate, great to see you both. coming up next, james carville. and we'll ask him why hillary clinton is also attacking fox news. one of the most controversial jeopardy winners in a decade talks with us about all the heat he is taking on the kelly file just ahead. >> we're playing for money out there. between $10,000 and getting haters on twitter, the $10,000 is going to be more important to me. e crohn's disease, and it feels like your life revolves around your symptoms,

memory this weekend when mrs. clinton took to twitter during the super bowl and sent out a message saying, it's so much more fun to watch fox when it's someone else being blitzed and sacked. #super bowl. was she being a little overly sensitive there? obviously it was a joke, why would she take issue with fox after all that? >> i think every democrat i know thinks fox kills right. >> she seemed so happy. >> maybe you'll call it right down on the middle. it's just a tweet, my god just man up, it's just a little tweet. why is everyone so sensitive about a hillary clinton tweet? >> that's an interesting point. we're wondering why she's so sensitive. was she playing the victim?
6:35 pm
poor fox may go after me? >> i think everybody thinks that fox treats democrats much rougher than they treat republicans. >> let's say you're right about that. >> she's hillary clinton and you heard her there. that's her campaign manager saying great for fox. they're in bounds. you know we were very fair to her when she was running for president unlike a lot of other number networks. why so sensitive? >> i think she was being funny, it was a tweet, it was the super bowl. i thought it was just fine. if you look at the thing, that's what -- you know, it was a little bitty thing and people need to not take this stuff so much, she was just trying to be funny, it may not have been the

6:37 pm
>> is it embarrassing for the president of the united states to be complaining about a cable channel? i mean, president bush never did this been msnbc. >> bush people would complain about the liberal media all the time. it's the dialogue. fox has got to understand that democrats think fox leans right. if you're a big network and fox is, and it's a profitable powerful institution, if people attack you, don't get sensitive about it. >> who's being sensitive? >> you're saying obama attacked fox. he did, so what. >> i deny that imitation of me. i don't remember doing any of that. it's interesting the president seems so focused on us. i never heard president bush do this about msnbc. he was taking his licks like a man. >> he gave you an interview on the day of the super bowl.

>> right. >> the biggest audience you have. >> why did he waste time complaining about the coverage when he has most of the mainstream media in his pocket. >> he goes toe to toe, we have a big interview. i'm on bill's show all the time i'm glad he got the interview. that's politics, that's journali journalism, that happens. >> it's happened a lot more over the last few years. >> the truth is, whenever the president does that, the ratings at fox news goes up i don't know if as a strategy it's effective. but it works. >>. up next, a fight for faith in hollywood. the academy nominates a christian film for best song, but then recen sinds the nomination. an oscar award winning producer

dramatic backlash after the academy awards said no to an award for a christian movie, alone yet not alone was nominated for best song. that was until last week when the nomination was abruptly rescinded. gerald mullins is an academy award winning producer of schindler's list. >> good to see you again. you wrote a scathing letter to the academy saying you're stunned and it's ludicrous they have done this. why?
6:44 pm
>> hi, megyn. i found it to be interesting when i heard about the nomination being rescinded and it bothers me investigating a little further, it was because someone did some lobbying and that's against the rules. i found it strange because if one stops to think about from december to january, there's a lot of lobbying going on for the films and categories, why was this one singled out. >> that's the question, we asked our brain room for an independent assessment. they said this happens all the time. they don't have any horse in this race. campaigning is allowed, and it doesn't look like they broke any rules in doing this, so why would they be singled out? is it common for a nomination to be rescinded for lobbying? >> that's what struck me. i don't think so maybe i missed

something, as far as i'm concerned it was one of those instances that came up that bothered me, again because of the lobbying by other categories, that never seemed to be a problem. >> we looked at the stats, in the 86 year history of the awards, this is only the fourth time a nomination has been rescinded. the producer of the film sent out an e-mail to people saying would you at least consider this song, it's such a little known film, it wasn't shown in many places at all, no one's going to know about it unless you accept it. the academy said that's a no, no. and it had to be revoked. >> if it's the final decision, we all have to accept it, we don't have to like it, and we can voice our opinion. in my opinion i felt that. >> how does it normally go? you produced schindler's list.
6:46 pm
when you want to get those films nominated, they were and they won, do you send out e-mails, is this so taboo. >> i don't remember sending out e-mails, but we use the social media wherever we can, and there's ads, that's a big part of it and a lot of money spent on marketing campaigns. >> i know you say you believe this is going to needlessly offend middle america. why do you think that? >> well, number one, if you take a look at the artist joannie ericson atata. she's 64 years old now, does a phenomenal job of singing this song and for them to strike out and rescind the nomination it affects a lot of other people, there's musicians, miss atata herself, and i think that's a
6:47 pm
shame when someone has a following like joannie does that she's shut down. >> i know they have you found out a rival film hired a p.i. to dig up dirt on this film because they were ticked off they weren't nominated. the academy rejectsed that appeal and found a way to bounce this christian song out. do you believe there's any chance the academy will reconsider as you are asking them to do? i have no idea, i hope they would reconsider, revisit the issue and take a look at all the facts. >> well, it's a song sung by a quadriplegic hero to evangelical christians who captured the imagination of american people. it will not be included on the list of the academy accords.

as old as jeopardy, which is as old as arthur chu. both are 30, he calls his technique the forest bounce named after chuck forest. instead of going down in a straight line, he jumps all over the board looking for daily doubles and betting very strange amounts. >> about 200 miles wide -- >> i have an advantage, but i think it's mainly because people don't talk enough about the strategy that goes into playing jeopardy. they think it's a game of pure trivia. >> how good is he really? we posed a question to him that a few weeks ago everybody on the panel missed. here's the question. >> file this blonde anchor and lawyer under fox news where she hosts a show weekdays from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. everybody missed it. let's see if the forest bounce can get out of this question and

answer. >> file this blonde anchor and lawyer under fox news where she hosts a show weekdays from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. >> who is megyn kelly. >> without hesitation, megyn kelly right off the get go. he is the best. >> not many, many people. but i love that, i'm in his camp. people who are complaining, it's a competition, it's supposed to be a winner. and arthur appears to get that, and obviously he is one. thank you. >> sure. tell me what you think, and we'll be right back with a very special surprise for you.
