10:00 pm
here he is, the very fit, very strong luke. he works so hard he gets a little tired and forgets. >> we loe.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. sorry, ladies, he is spoken for. see you tomorrow night at 9:00. this is a fox news alert, there is new information tonight surrounding the death of phillip seymour hoffman. authorities are testing packets of heroin found in the actor's apartment. joining me now is fox's own julie banderas. >> circumstances surrounding the sad story of a drug addict who tried to get help but in the end couldn't beat the addition. police sources tell me they also found more than 50 small plastic bags containing heroin near the body. multiple used and unused hypodermic needles and multiple prescription drugs. his body was taken to the medical examiner's office for an
10:01 pm
autopsy on monday. he had recently separated from his partner of 15 years and renting an apartment a few blocks away from his family and aa and na meetings he had gone to. he atenneded a meeting as early as seven days ago. a tragic end for the 46-year-old who was called one of the greatest actors of his generation. he had several projects in the works at the time of his death. he even attended the sundance film festival. m mimi makes plans to bury her long time partner and the father of her children. president obama is trying to pick a fight with fox news, i think i know why. >> what some people are saying is that the irs was use d at a local level in cincinnati.
10:02 pm
>> absolutely wrong. >> how do you know that, we still don't know what happened. >> we do. that's not what happen ed. these kinds of things keep on surfacing, in part because you and your tv station will promote th them. >> no matter what you say about fox news, we're not going to stop reporting the truth. the cbo released numbers that prove obama care is the utter mess we've been telling you about. glad they finally caught up. cbo, health care law will mean 2 million fewer workers. and reuters, obama care to cut work hours by the equivalent of 2 million jobs. here with reaction to that, much more, fox business network's own stewart barney. stewart, your reaction? >> it's a bombshell in two ways. 2.3 million fewer jobs because of obama care? bombshell number one, number two, obama care is a disincentive to work. the cbo admitted it this
10:03 pm
afternoon. why don't you just spend more time with the family, let somebody else work, you go on obama care. it's a disincentive to work, and by the way, the president said, we have not engaged in a massive expansion of the welfare states. obama care is a massive extension of the welfare state. you're putting far more people on to free medical care paid by the government for taxpayers. >> your experience in the white house as press secretary. i don't remember the president, president bush blaming kiosks, atm's, karl rove, ed gillespie, any and everything for problems that go wrong. w why? >> he didn't even blame me. president obama i think is shooting down when he's talking about fox news. democrats they have an easier
10:04 pm
job as communicators and press people, they don't have to work as hard to overcome the initial skepticism. a big blow from cbo, the cbo number comes out around 11:30 in the morning jay carney has to explain it. he was not convincing. there's lots of nuances. it's worth reading to understand what cbo is saying. the white house, that was probably one of their worst days. >> juxta pose those headlines, let's go back to 2010. if you like your plan keep your plan, if you like your doctor, keep your doctor. this is nancy pelosi what the reality is. >> this bill is not only about the health security in america,
10:05 pm
it is about jobs. it will create 4 million jobs almost immediately. jobs again in the health care industry, but in the entrepreneurial world as well. >> not so fast. >> that is another classic sound bite from pelosi. the cbo report today said 2.3 million full time jobs lost an extra 1 trillion dollars added to the deficit. the direct opposite of what former speaker pelosi is saying right there, she's all in with obama care, and it's turning out in exactly the opposite way. >> dana, i think if you -- stewart do the economic analysis. i want to ask you the political side of this, in this interview with bill, three interesting things, they bring up the irs. they bring up health care, benghazi. in each case, we know that we've been lied to.
10:06 pm
we can't keep our plan, we can't keep our doctor, we're not saving $2500. on benghazi, we know it had nothing to do with the youtube video. the original claim about the irs, these were rogue agents in cincinnati has been proven false. three big lies and he just brushed them aside. >> one of the reasons president obama's team in my opinion would have agreed to do the interview with bill o'reilly, it's 111 million people that are going to watch the super bowl, it's a huge audience. it's coming five days after the state of the union address, in which usually a president will lay out a new plan something positive. there's nothing from the state of the union address that would drive bill o'reilly to ask him about it in that interview. he has to go back, because the white house has not answered satisfactorily about those three issues that you just mentioned, that's why the president was asked about it. >> he can't brush this aside. he cannot brush aside the cbo report. you can't do that.
10:07 pm
it's the democrats who won't let them brush him aside. this is around your neck? the exact opposite of what obama care was supposed to be all about. >> i have a prediction, president obama will start to do a lot more foreign travel, because foreign travel gets him out of the country. there are important things he needs to do overseas, that will get him out of the country and those democrats won't have to worry about anything happening in their state. >> let's imagine for a minute it's october and you're in north carolina. >> and it's not snowing. >> let's say you might be in louisiana, arkansas or any of these red state democrats -- up comes the ad, the obama care ad, and you know what, she voted with obama 90% of the time.
10:08 pm
she voted for obama care, she promised she could keep the plan, this and this and this. how impactful is that going to be. >> it's very impactful if you have good republican candidates that are running against them. mark beg itch raised over $50,000 in the last quarter. he's serious about trying to win re-election. the ad could hurt him at the polls, they have to have really good candidates. >> about 90% of the time is the democrats -- >> they will have to try to run out people that have benefited from obama care. i think it's a losing propositi proposition. >> you guys have fought about t
10:09 pm
it. who do you like, who do you see out there that you think in some of these states that impresses you. >> i think tom is going to help bring back that senate seat to the republican side. do you think one of the interesting races happening right now is in nebraska? >> the open seat? >> open seat. nebraska is a funny state, that could. if president obama were on the ballot, i think the republicans would not necessarily have nebraska in the win column. i do think a republican can win in nebraska, there's going to be a big fight, any time republicans are fighting, i'm fine with competition, that means the democrats have an open lane in order to try to get ahead. >> why would ted cruz back away from saying told you so. why would he back away from the fight. he said, this is what's going to happen if you go with obama care, i tried to stop it, now the bad things are happening.
10:10 pm
>> the defund? >> no, no, i don't know what you're going to do about it, i'm saying, what is ted cruise, what is he going to say? >> there's one missing component, everybody has their feelings about obama now set in concrete, what is the vision? in other words, i love newt gingrich contract with america, what five big things are you going to do to get people off of food stamps. create jobs, create energy independence. i think that is key, a positive agenda. real quick. >> republicans have to talk about portability. all the language is tough, you have to make sure they say, no one's going to go hungry in america. we have to make sure we take care of those, the incentive to work is available. and obama care is not. >> growth, growth and prosperity. >> we have to break. >> good to see you both.

10:15 pm
details of the death of phillip seymour hoffman. investigators found 50 envelopes of what they believe is it heroin in his apartment. here with the expert analysis, my panel. here's what i'm hearing and the people i'm talking to, we have a heroin epidemic, in big cities, small cities, big towns, little towns. rich neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods. >> it's true. the oxycontin was $30 a pill, used to give you the similar hi high. now you can buy heroin, you don't know what they mixed it with. the kids start with snorting it, they don't get high enough they start injecting it. it was in the minority
10:16 pm
neighborhoods when i was a detective, now it's everywhere. >> what do we know about there's a bad batch of this heroin that's making its way and killing a lot of people in the northeast? he also mixed it with blood pressure medication, an addiction treatment drug, add drug, anxiety drug and a muscle relaxant. >> that said, you have an envelope with white powder in it. in that five or ten milligrams are heroin, it's a nickel bag or dime bag of heroin. the way it used to be, when bo and i were babies in the 1970s, when we had almost 1,000 deaths a year -- two or three deaths a day from heroin overdoses in new york city, it used to contain 5 milligrams of heroin, about 5 or
10:17 pm
10 milligrams of quinine. quinine was used do kill malaria. and milk sugar. >> what is it now? >> i think the price has gone down, they're trying to get more and more people into it. also, you're the doctor, what happens a lot of people don't realize, this guy's shooting up this heroin, even though it's a small amount. that stops your heart, you're going to die because your heart stops. if you inject enough of it, you're going to die. the kids were snorting heroin for a while. >> that was back -- >> here's what everybody wants to know, i know kids, i know neighborhoods in long island, their parents in wealthy neighborhoods, the kids are shooting heroin. >> when you hear heroin, you go oh, my god, their neighborhood,
10:18 pm
minority communities. heroin, and then they do it, a snort of cocaine, it's called a speed ball. >> yeah, when we were -- the '70s with the epidemic. this is what -- >> i'm a little younger than you. >> most heroin, we had a huge amount of heroin, much more than now, but it's increasing here. is that the poorer neighborhoods had heroin and the richer neighborhoods had cocaine. now, heroin is all over. >> let me ask you, when it was asked what he did for a living, he said, i'm an addict. we have pictures of him, his last flight from atlanta to new york, and part of the flight -- that's when he's on the flight, it was reported he was drinking heavily at a bar, there's pictures of him at a bar and going to the bathroom, makingtr. when you see him passed out like that, you see the drink, was it from drinking or likely? does that tell you another story? >> most probably the drugs that would be more quick --
10:19 pm
>> what would put him in that type of stupor? >> you ever see a heroin addict? >> they get very stuporish. >> euphoric, you have not a care in the world. you owe a lot of money to the bank for your mortgage, you forget about, and that's what you see in that seat. >> if you walked on that plane, somebody slumped over like that as soon as the plane was about to take off, you would say in your detective mind? >> it's like this, when you see him, i'll show you, i've been around them all my life. it's kind of like the quaalude, but quaalude are more muscle. this is more of a euphoric. >> it puts them into a groggy state and drooling state. but the thing about it is, that the heroin itself. as soon as it comes in will give you euphoria, put you to sleep after a few, half hour or an hour, after you take too much of
10:20 pm
it as happened here, you don't even have time to take the needle out of the arm, what happened with -- >> he didn't have time? >> he within to sleep immediately because it was such a big overdose, he went into respiratory depression and his heart stopped and he didn't have time to take the needle out of his arm. >> this should be a call out to parents, they should talk to their kids, let them understand about what heroin's all about, it will kill you. >> thanks so much, appreciate it many and coming up, in the wake of phillip hoffman's death, we examine the drug epidemic that is plaguing hollywood. we'll take a look at other stars who were gone too soon and some that may be headed down that path. later, believe it or not, americans think bill clinton is the most forgivable liar.

>> 7 million $385,000 to be exact, yes. >> obviously you can afford it or else you wouldn't have made the bet? >> it was a promotion if the customers bought $6,000 worth and i had it delivered before game time, they got it free if seattle mentioned. i was pulling for seattle to win the game to make all of our customers happy, that's exactly what happened. >> what were the overall sales, how many people were broncos fans? did they also come in, did you make it up in other sales? was this just money you had laying around in your mattress somewhere? >> normally when we have a promotion like that, we have a lot of customers that buy $6,000 plus. we did tons of business, much more thon normal, almost every customer bought 6,000 plus. we're a big loser on this deal, but at the same time we're a

winner, because we had over 1,000 houston families that watched the big game sunday night. >> you probably couldn't pay for all the pr you've gotten, you've been all over the place. houston's been talking about you ever since? >> yeah, we've been a hot topic in houston, that's the whole idea, to make the store relevant, topical. to appeal to millennial customers to customers that are fluent. and 80% were brand new customers and never been to the store before. it was great. now our job is to make them customers for life. they've had a great first experience. now if we have ability to get them back, we'll win in the long term. >> they have $6,000 worth of furniture. would you do it again? >> i would do it again in a minute. because we had three times the normal volume we d a great exercise in free enterprise, customers were happy, salesmen were happy. staff was happy. all people
10:51 pm
working for us worked overtime to get them all extra paychecks tomorrow because of great efforts we lost money on the promotion but a great marketing gig. we'll make it up in the future. >> well, good luck to you mattress mack. a thousand folks, pretty nice. coming up as you prepares to sign off, jay leno offers a glimpse into his true feelings about conan o'brien, that and more, coming up next. the conversation about his car loan didn't start here. it began way, way back. before he had children. before he got married. it started in his very first apartment. see that overdue bill? it arrived after he moved out. and he never got it.

>> couldn't -- how, one thing i don't understand and help me. usually if you're number one in every demo like leno is, you don't get replaced once then brought back, then a second time. why do you think they're doing it? do you think it's a good move? >> we're talking about being sports manager, remember when peyton manning left the colts? they knew they had to go young at some point. that said, jay leno is number one in the demo. 18-49 year olds so why get rid of him? i guess they're taking a chance on jimmy fallon who is an enormous talent. >> from my perspective they tried this once and it bombed. i mean, badly. they had to go back. and hand to knee saying please come back. i do think conan, i think is more acquired taste do you agree? >> absolutely. >> jimmy fallon they did a best
