hot letters. thanks for watching us. ms. megan is next. please always remember the spin stops here. we're definitely looking out for you. we're live in new york city and tonight -- >> new damage from what's being called the obama care bomb shell. >>. the act creates a disincentive for people to work. >> we have uncovered the one line that everyone else so far has overlooked. plus -- >> you're saying no corruption. >> not even mass corruption. not even a smidgen of corruption. >> lawmakers are demanding to know how the president knew the results of an investigation that the fbi refuses to talk about. plus after news broke that al qaeda was taking over some of the middle east cities that they thought to liberate, the administration is being asked

what are we going to do about it? the kelly file, right now. >> new tonight the overlooked line in the nonpartisan report on obama care that impacts every american who gets their health insurance through work. welcome to "the kelly file." so it was a little more than four months ago when reports broke about thousands and later millions of people losing their health insurance because of obamacare. consumers were literally blind sided and angry when the president's you can keep your plan pledge went up in smoke. but then to 12e78 stem the growing answer, the president made another statement claiming the cancellations only affected a small percentage of americans and the vast majority that kbot

it through their jobs would be safe. >> for the vast majority of people that works k you can keep it. for the fewer than 5% of americans that buy insurance on your own, you'll be getting a better deal. >> we're talking about 5% of the population who are in the individual market. they are out there buying health insurance on their own. >> keep in mind that the individual market accounts for 5% of the population. so when i said you can keep your health care, i'm looking at folks who have employer-based health care, folks who have medicare and medicaid and that accounts for the vast majority of americans. >> congressional budget office says that that is not true. this week's big report reminding lawmakers that "as a result of the aca, between 6 million and 7 million fewer people will have employment-based insurance coverage each year from 2016

through 2024 than would be the case in the absence of the aca." how about this? fox news digital politics editor joins us now. with all the talk about about the 2.3 million jobs that would be lost, this really, truly affects so many more people across this country. >> that's right. the administration says you were liberated from having to work to get health insurance, i guess they will say that you were liberated pr having health insurance at your job and you can get government-based health insurance or health insurance subsidized through obamacare because what happens here, and we have known this is coming all along and it's been interesting to watch this play out as politicians in washington realize the ramifications of what they did, is that employers are going to dump workers into the government program. they are going to say that under obamacare, especially that the new requirements for covering their employees are too great, they are going to pay the fine,

which is relatively modest compared to the cost of insuring the folks, and dump them into obamacare. guess what that is going to do to the mind set and attitude of those voters, those individuals about the law when they get the notice from their employer this year that they are out of luck. >> it's so striking because you think about the promise that if you like your health care, you can keep it. the next promise, as we just showed everybody, if you have employer care that you like, you can keep that. now that turns out to not necessarily be the case. mckenzie and company says 30% will probably drop coverage, these companies, or stop it after 2014. this is the number that is likely to escalate, the numbers that we're seeing may not be as big as it gets. the dissatisfaction with all this is likely to creep into the midterm elections in a big way. today against democrat in arkansas mark pryor, look at this. >> millions are paying more and

getting less. obamacare doesn't work. it just doesn't work. tell senator pryor to stop thinking about politics and start thinking about people. >> ouch. i think we're going to see more of those. >> you'll see no end of those. just remember this. if the premiums go up at a high rate, as they very well may if a bunch of sick people, you'll see that 7 million number of people who are dumped on to obamacare go up because it will be too expensive to keep them on the rolls at work. >> chris, thank you. >> you bet. >> this budget office report was the focus of a hearing with the director squarely in the hot seat this morning when lawmakers asked him about how workers going forward, his answer became one of thee big stories of today. watch this. >> by providing heavily subsidized health insurance to people with low income and withdrawing those subsidies as

income rises, the act creates a disincentive for people to work relative to what would have been the case in the absence of that act. >> andy is the ceo of a parent company to karl's jr. he's been public for months now about health care. good to have you here. what's your take on this? the white house is pushing back on this. the white house is basically saying that ultimately due to lower costs that will happen, they say health care costs will go down. that that will free up money for companies across the country and they are going to add 400,000 jobs as a result of it over the next several years. >> well, let's say that the administration's predictions on this law haven't been accurate across the board. i think that particular prediction is terrible.

this law what's happening is what happened today with the report is it verifies that millions of americans have been experiencing. this is a bad law. it's a job killer. it's bad for the economy. it's reducing wages. it's the wrong law at the wrong time. not that it wasn't well intended. health care is something we need to address. it's just the wrong way to do it. the amazing thing to me about the report was that when obamacare was passed, we were told it was for the helpless. it was for people who needed health insurance. didn't have access o it through their job. people were sympathetic to it. it it's hard not to be. what we heard today was that people who have jobs who just want to work less, either they want to spend time with their families. one guy said they can pursue their hobbies. we're now going to be paying for these people who did have jobs and who worked hours and paid

income taxes when they worked those jobs and payroll taxes that helped pay for benefits like obamacare, we're no longer getting that tax revenue. these are people that could work. they choose not to so they can write cowboy poetry. >> photographery. you won't be working the hours that you used to work. another thing that struck me from this report is the projection that in ten years, 31 million people will not have health insurance. they won't be insured. and the whole thing started because they wanted to cover 48 million. so all of this disruption for 17 million people, do you think as a businessman that there was a more effective, easier, cleaner way to cover 17 million people? >> there's many more effective ways. nobody thought obamacare was going to be passed z in its current form. you remember scott brown won the

smat race and the house had to pass a bill that wasn't vetted, that was incredibly lengthy and wasn't well drafted. that had to be the law or they weren't going to get a law. nobody thought this law was going to be passed and nancy pelosi said we have to wait to pass it to see what's in it. you didn't have to wait. many people knew it would be difficult to implement. the president has to keep changing it. and the expense, by the way, of these people who are going to pursue their hobbies is all going to fall on the middle class. we hear a lot from democrats about how they want to protect the middle class, but we keep seeing policies coming forward. i was astounded listening o democrats and the testimony in the administration about how a party that is so politically adept could be so economically inept. and they just have to face reality on this. this is a bad law. it it doesn't work. let's change it.

let's get something that works. there are plenty of proposals. let's get bipartisanship going. >> you speak from business experience. we thank you for being here tonight. >> thank you. hope kelly feels better. >> i hope so too. breaking tonight. we are just learning about a sophisticated attack on a california power station last year that's raising serious concerns about whether it was the work of terrorists. we are live from los angeles. >> it turns out this was a precise two-step attack. it happened april 16th of last year when a group of suspects snuck into an underground vault and cut several telephone cables. 30 minutes later snipers opened fire on an electrical station. it lasted 19 minutes knocking out 17 transformers. the power company rerouted power and used other substations to fill the void. there was no blackout, no major

disruption. therefo therefore, it got little attention. but it got the attention of the white house. the former chairman of regulatory hearing calling it it the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred. a retired vice president of pg&e saying "this wasn't an incident where billy-bob and joe decided to shoot up a substation. this was well thought out and well planned and targeted center components. the video of the attack shows almost nothing, but there are streaks of light that authorities believe are signals from a very well-trained group of attackers. the big concern isn't with this particular power plant but this may have been a dry run to see the result and how the authorities handled it it. we have 160 thoux miles of transition miles and they believe knocking out a few key

substations could destabilize the entire system. listen to henry waxman give this warning to congress. >> this is a national security issue that deserves our attention. we should act now while there's still time to protect against successful attacks. >> it happened in april of last year. still no suspects, no arrests in that attack on the substation in the silicon valley. >> thank you very much. we are also tracking new developments with the investigation into the irs targeting conservative groups. the president said this on super bowl sunday. >> you're saying no corruption. >> none. there was some bone head decisions. >> but no mass corruption? >> not even a smidgen of corruption. >> not even a smidgen. when lawmakers saw that, they asked how the president could say that there wasn't a smidgen of corruption when the irs

investigation into what happened is still very much ongoing. here is one of them today grilling the new commissioner of the irs. >> commissioner, if you have been told that the investigation is complete and no targeting occurred, you have been misled. last weekend the president claimed in an interview there was not even a smidgen of corruption at the irs. he blamed the targeting on "bone headed decisions by a local office." now this committee has investigated the matter to significant degree and found otherwise. i believe the president's staff is either very poorly informed or they are actually misleading him. >> mike emanuel joins us live from washington. >> there's also a letter sent today that asked if the president is being briefed on the justice department investigation and whether lawmakers can be briefed as well. the letters sent, they wrote to

eric holder we hope you can restore our confidence that the investigation into the irs will be thorough and not swayed by political biases. those lawmakers are on the oversight committee and hoping to hear from the justice department tomorrow. many republicans question whether they can be impartial in the investigation after she donated more than $6,000 to the obama campaign. back to today's hearing when the president's own words were under scrutiny. >> is that a responsible statement from our commander-in-chief to draw a conclusion on national tv talking to millions of americans that you can trust me? there's not a smidgen of corruption in the targeting situation. yet you know, and i know, and you just testified here today, that the investigations are nowhere near complete skblp it's not my role to challenge what

anybody is saying in terms of what's going on and what happened in the past. i said i'm looking forward to the investigations being concluded. we'll see what the facts are and we'll respond appropriately. >> it was noted today on capitol hill that there are actually six separate investigations looking into the irs targeting of conservative groups. four in congress, one at justice and one by the inspector general. that wasn't the only issue today. there was also scrutiny of a decision that was made. >> two days ago the irs announced it reached a deal with the irs employee union, the national treasury union to award $43 billion in bonuses to union newsed employees skblp it's important to see the performance awards. they will only go to probably between 50 and 65% of the employees and they allow us to settle litigation. >> his point is it would be better to pay the employees to improve morale at the irs rather than risk losing a lawsuit to the union. >> controversial.

mike, thank you very much. tomorrow there is another hearing on this issue. this time congress is calling witnesses including the doj's staff in charge of this investigation. she is unlikely to show up, but they are going to be will tomorrow. he's the chief legal counsel and is representing dozens of groups which say that they were target ed by the irs. many were asked who they prayed for, what books they read, they waited months and sometimes years to get their tax exemption forms put through and many of them were audited. jay, you must have been very surprised when you heard the president say that this was a done deal and there's not a smidgen of corruption. >> martha, the president is just incorrect. we have information today, i'm going to bring this up tomorrow, that lois lerner was drafting what they called "offline new

regulations to restrict the organizations." they did it offline because they didn't want the comment period to start where people could say it it's going to violate the first amendment. number two, how does the president know the conclusion of an investigation that's ongoing. he doesn't have the ability to know where this investigation ends up going. i think it's important to remember that it was eric holder who raised the speck tor that took place within the internal revenue service may be criminal. he opened up the fbi investigation, which is one of the six investigations going on right now against the irs. i have written about this on foxnews.com. but i don't think we have even the begin ining of it. i'm having to change my testimony tonight in what i'm going to talk about tomorrow in light of the new revelations that the irs was working offline to change the rules. you don't get to change the rules to justify bad behavior.

>> this needs to be an open investigation still. when you look back at january 29th, eric holder said about this issue, all options are on the table given the fact there's not been a determination either to bring charges or decline this case. you look at january 30th. the attorney. general sent a letter to jim jordan who was one of the questioners today basically saying that they couldn't allow employees to discuss anything because they are in the middle of an open investigation. they can't discuss that. how on earth could the president be at odds in terms of where this investigation stands? >> because right now the irs and the white house are institutionally incapable of self-correcting and self-governing when it comes to the matter with the irs. congress is through its investigation process getting to the bottom of what was a targeted and direct violation of constitutional rights of private organizations. and the idea now that the president is giving an all clear, it doesn't not only pass

the constitutional test, it doesn't pass the smell test. something is not right here. we learned about what was not right tonight. >> have any of the people you're representing been questioned in this investigation? >> not yet by the fbi. >> not yet by the fbi. jay, thank you very much. we'll see how it goes tomorrow. good to have you here tonight. we are also getting new detail hs hour on the terror threat warning just sent to the airlines and airport security folks across this country. we'll tell you what that's about in a few minutes. plus this. >> al qaeda grabbed control of many cities that america fought to liberate. the administration is forced to detail what we're going to do about it. the show creating controversy after viewers decided that a woman wanting o lose weight went more than a little too far. that is next. ♪

old self, she looks way too thin. and how did she lose the weight? people say it's a great diet. i got skinny. for me it's all about health. did she remain healthy? part of the problem with eating disorders is it's not so much people eating or not eating. it's the mental aspect of it. so i'm wondering if perhaps nbc should add a psychiatric or a psychologist to their staff. >> that's an interesting point to be a part of that whole process. i saw an interview she did this morning. she said i feel energetic, healthy, i wanted to get my confidence back. her story is a moving one. she moved to germany with a boyfriend. she gave up a very successful collegiate swimming career to be with him. and that all fell apart. that's what led to this huge weight gain. >> that's an emotional thing. she turned to food. a lot of women go either way.

they either turn to food and start eating a lot or they stop eating altogether. they need a psychiatrist or psychologist. i can't be. one to judge her because i weighed 115 pounds on the cover of "sports illustrated." for me, girls that are very thin, we're all thin in the modelling industry. so as long as she feels good and healthy. >> you can look like that and be healthy. >> kate moss is naturally that thin and she's healthy. this girl got so heavy, she went way outside what her comfort zone was. and at the same time, she had this competition that she was in. she was trying to compete against all these other people and to win. you throw that aspect into it, there's a lot of psychological stuff going on. >> you're so knowledgeable. we'll watch you on the weekend. we hope she's healthy. >> absolutely. >> thanks a lot. take care. we have some breaking news

breaking tonight, a new terror warning. we are live in the newsroom with more on that. >> the department of homeland security singled out tubes of toothpaste but they mean tubes about that size meaning skin cream or you name it. those things get mixed with other components and can be used to build a liquid bomb. russia banned all liquids into sochi. this warning goes hand in hand with what experts had been emphasizing. >> we think the greater danger from a terrorist perspective is in the potential for attacks to occur outside of the actual venues in the area surrounding sochi or in the region. >> the actual olympic venue appears to be secure.

though apparently it's not very complete. there are widespread reports that hotels and other buildings aren't finished and guests that are booked rooms are not getting the rooms they had. a reporter with the "chicago tribune" got a room but got no water and said my hotel has no water. if restored, the front desk says do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous. when she got water, look at it. it was bright yellow. now she knew why it was dangerous. when it it's time to flush the toilet, yellow water is better than no water. put it in the bin. we are also hearing that construction on some of the athletic venues is coming down to the wire. we're talking about less than 48 hours before opening ceremonies and they are still pounding nail. s in sochi. >> ewe, ewe, ewe.

thank you. developing tonight, a series of explosions in iraq kills nearly three dozen people. as lawmakers hold a hearing to find out why al qaeda is resurging in the region that the military lost thousands of lives. watch. >> how is it that the iraqi government was not able to secure something as symbolically important if not really important? >> i tried to explain in my testimony. the series of events including a protest movement which added to the political instability in the region. any outsiders are resisted. it includes, we hope now, these al qaeda extremists. >> welcome to you, sir. good evening.

>> hey, martha. >> talk to me about what's really going on on the ground. there's a lot of confusion as to why fallujah that you and others fought so hard to secure since december have slipped over into a majority of control by al qaeda at this point. >> it's pretty simple. i don't need a big hearing to figure this one out. you had millions of americans served. you had americans die. you had americans that have missing limbs because of this area. it's very simple. we're not there anymore and we left too quickly with no leave-behind force. the obama administration failed and now you have the disaster. iraq is gone. that's my opinion. there is no getting this back. if the level is that they are not going to attack their allies or our allies and mot going to be able to attack us, then we have succeeded because they no longer have a dictator and

somebody is going to build nuclear weapons. but if your idea of success is a peaceful nation that tries to work against iran and the other evil regeimes in the area, we have failed. if they trained in iraq like afghanistan, here's the scary part for me. i have a 13-year-old son. i don't want my 13-year-old son to have to join the marine corps in ten years to go back to iraq to fix the mistakes that this president made when he abandoned everything we fought for there. >> let's go back to that for a moment. the status of forces agreement that was never decided upon. would that have made a difference or do you feel like troops needed to be there longer to secure a little more stability on the ground or was it never going to take hold? >> the status of forces agreement would have made sure we had troops there and enough to do something. the military generals at that

time asked for about 20,000 troops to remain on the ground. president obama offered them a few thousand. just like in afghanistan right now the general who is running afghanistan has asked for 10,000 troops. if he doesn't get 10,000 troop, there's no point in staying in afghanistan either. it it's the same kind of thing. repeat mistakes. which are the very worse kind. and that's the big problem here. afghanistan is more complicated because you have a nutty president in president karzai. iraq didn't have that problem. we could have made sure that the sacrifices we fought for and the yellow ribbons on the doors meant something. right now, they mean nothing because we have now lost what we fought so hard for. >> representative duncan hunter, thank you for your service in fallujah and other places as well. thank you very much for being here tonight, sir. very important points.

let's talk now to a former virginia democratic congressman who opposed the war in iraq. he's also president and ceo of the center for american progress action fund. good to have you here. you have been on the ground. talk to me about the dynamic going on there. who is the are these forces moving in to fill the vacuum in iraq and how much of this comes from what's going on in syria? >> well, i really do think right now syria and the instability there in the al qaeda presence there is a great threat. you have a tremendous number of foreign jihadists. we have a humanitarian crisis there. the situation in fallujah has a lot of implications. it's gotten better over the last couple weeks and a lot of what we left was to let the iraqis own their own government and step up. you really need to see that government step up. we can't carry the whole weight ourselves. but in the serious situation you do have a group of relative

moderates who are fighting back against the al qaeda presence since january 3rd and in some cases literally running out of bull the ets many battles in extremely significant effort to prevent al qaeda from having safe havens across northern syria, i just got back from the border areas on the it turkish side. you have courageous, young activists there deeply committed to the idea of having a free syria still. >> is there anything that can be done? you just heard representative hunter. he believes iraq is lost. do you? >> i think iraq is going to remain a challenge where you have sunni, shia and curdish dynamics. what it means to be won or loss has been debated for a long time. in terms of their efforts to try to have something that looks like a state there, that's a project that continues. syria is a situation where you have had an assad regime that's

just launched a war against his own people using starvation against women and children as well as chemical weapons and has said he will use any tactics mess to try to continue that war. you have 7 or 8 million human beings who have already been displaced and 150,000 dead. this is a place where the united states and the international community can play a constructive role on everything from the refugee crisis to the considerations with the increasing al qaeda presence there in northern syria. >> so many americans look at the situation and they have had it. they have seen the loss of life, the loss of limbs, why should they why should we make an investment in personal strength in this area? >> well, i really do understand there's a growing isolationism in both parties ins eyes for understandable reasons. we have so much need to invest in our people back home.

we have asked so much of our military. at the same time, these developments show us we can't afford to not care about these situations around the world because they do have implications for us as well as i think moral urgency in the humanitarian crisis. so understand the iisolationism but we have to stay engaged. >> you spent a lot of time there on the ground and know the areas well, thank you so much for being with us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> just ahead, why is the united nations going after the catholic church and what the vatican is saying about it, next.

♪ and first ever back-to-back champion. guts. glory. ram. the vatican is fighting back after a scathing new report. the united nations accusing the church of not taking the necessary measures to protect children from sexual abuse by priests. this after years of measures and

reforms that the church has worked hard to put in place to do exactly that. what is going on here? joined by ashton mcguire. the senior fellow at the catholic association. a shocking report today. what was your reaction? >> you know, i would start by saying that whenever this topic comes up, this is a topic that is a source of great sadness for all catholics and cannot be taken seriously enough. that being said, having read the entire document, it's truly shocking because the report basically overlooks the last ten years of history and everything that the church has done to make sure that something this horrible never happens again. and i would tell you that right now the catholic church put into place so many reforms and protocalls that b protocalls that it's being looked to as a model to prevent things like this from ever happening. there's no mention of that and it really seems more like an ideological attack than anything.

>> i have taught ccd at our church and had to take a program chrks is very intense and anyone who works with children in the church has to go through that program. a lot has been done. lst been a lot said about this that suggests this report is trying to get at the issues of homosexuality and abortion and other issues that may be driven by outside interests in this report. what can you tell me about that possibility? >> yeah, absolutely. this document commands the catholic church to change its laws on issues like abortion and actually calls on the church in the same breath to make greater protections for children against violence and then tells the church to stand off on abortion, which is totally crazy because the church holds its view on abortion in many respects because it views abortion as one of the most widespread forms of violence against children. it seems like a confused document that sort of starts off with the sex abuse crisis but

really ends attacking basically everything that the church believes. it's really unprecedented in my understanding for the united nations to tell a religious institution what it should and should not believe. >> what about pope francis? obviously, he's gotten so much attention for shaking things up. what is his reaction likely to be to this? >> pope francis started to commission to make sure that the reforms that pope benedict began continue to take place. he's a man who truly believes in transparency. he's hired all sorts of outside consulting firms to clean up the issues the church is facing. i have no doubt he's going to continue to be strong in reforming the church on this very important issue. >> ashley mcguire, thank you very much. the tiger bomb, she's roaring again. she and her husband are here to

talk about their controversial new book. >> i said a quick prayer. help me find the words o not do anything wrong and to help if i can. ♪ [ laughter ] smoke? nah, i'm good.

she made waves with a book on raising children the chinese way and now the tiger mother and her husband are out with a new book, called the triple package, the three unlikely traits that explain the rise and fall of cultural groups in america. both are professors at yale law school, no slouch themselves. i want to jump right in. this new book basically says certain ethnic groups are outperforming other groups in this country and it has a lot of people riled up. amy, who are these groups and why are they so successful? >> at the moment. i want to stress it's a snapshot

of who's successful now not permanently better. mormons, jews, chinese americans, lebanese americans, nigerians, cubans, dozens more, we are saying, look, they are hitting it out of the park. can we not look at what they're doing, how they're raising their children and is there anything we can learn? how are they rising? >> these are groups that are newer to the country. we were say beforie we started talking, irish immigrants and italian immigrants who were here the start of the century hungry for this. >> and a tough economy and jobs hard to come by and some groups are hitting it out of the ballpark. our point is let's look at them. look at the families and cultures and see what's going on because we can learn from it? >> in your first book, it was like you were trying to make sure those traits stayed in your

kids. they have successful parents, been in the country for a while. that hunger that you were raised with that you wanted to keep it in them. >> and it is hard. >> it is hard. >> a huge feature about this book is generational decline. as soon as you are a little bit successful and more comfortable, it's hard to in still that hunger in your kids. this need to prove yourself, the first qualities generates, the need to prove yourself, the opposite of being entitled. how are these groups raising kids in a way still have that hunger to strive, i guess. >> it's really about a work ethic, too. how do you instill that work ethic in your kids and what lessons are you learning from these cultural groups and how they do it. >> we looked at these groups and found they were united by a surprising combination of three qualities actually are open to any. many people not from these groups have them and all groups have them and three qualities a

sense of being exceptional. each tells them they're part of something exceptional and they're exceptional. you can get that not from a group but many other different sources. the second is almost the opposite, a sense of insecurity, basically the idea you're not good enough yet so you're part of something special but you're not good enough yet. you have to prove yourself. you have to have that hunger and that drive. that third quality we call impulse control, the ability to resist temptation and be disciplined? you're good but you're not good enough yet and if you want to get really good you have to stay focused and disciplined. it's a really interesting thing to think about. i give you guys a lot of credit. i know you've taken some heat for it. good to have both of you here, amy and jed. good luck with the book. >> thank you. >> we will take a quick break and we will be right back with a little bit more on the kelly file tonight.
