fabulous. the question is whether she can maintain the weight safely without the show. got to do it on her own now. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. good morning. it is thursday, february 6. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. forget liquids or shoe bombs. homeland security issues a serious warning about tubes of tooth paste. are the olympic games safe? >> the government's own bean counters painting a sad picture of obamacare. >> by providing heavily subsidized health insurance to people with very low income and then withdrawing those subsidies as income rises, the act creates a disincentive for people to work. >> why work? so is obamacare killing the american dream? we're going to report. you decide on this thursday. >> jay leno taking his last bow tonight. >> can you still dunk and when was the last time you
3:01 am
tried? >> can i still dunk? are you stupid? >> we all look back at his best moments because "fox & friends" first hour for this thursday starts right now. >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> tonight is the big night for jay leno. >> i can't believe it's here. >> 22 years. >> this is not like carson leaving. this is very low key, isn't it, especially for a guy who's been there for over 20 years. >> they have the bar so high that it is going to be hard for jimmy fallon to fly over it. >> i think it is going to be felt after when you look for him after. >> when conan took over his ratings dropped about 50% and they asked him back again. >> in the meantime we say good morning to heather nauert. >> a lot of focus in the next few days on the
3:02 am
olympics and we have an alert to bring folks now. we begin with new details about that olympic terror threat. the u.s. government is warning airlines that fly to russia to watch out for terrorists with tooth paste. there is concern they could try to smuggle bomb making explosives on the plane in tooth paste tubes. mitt romney, who ran olympic games is calling the threat grave. >> this is grave concern and have to be considered thoroughly. i do believe the games will be safe particularly in the hardened areas where there are very substantial security personnel. but without question, this olympics is under a level of threat we haven't seen for some time. >> opening ceremony set to start tomorrow but competitions beginning later today. the obama administration is quietly making it easier for people with connections to terror groups to get asylum in the united states.
3:03 am
homeland security is now announcing that those who provided insignificant or limited material support for terror groups will no longer be automatically denied eligibility for asylum or refugee status. this will affect about 3,000 people who have pending cases before the government. what do you think about that? three of the four people arrested connected to philip seymour hoffman's death. we learned hoffman's telephone number was found in three of the four cell phones. one is a 57-year-old who has ties to a number of celebrities including the late amy winehouse. a sculpture at wellesley college in boston is turning some heads this morning. take a look at this. it looks like a real person frozen but it is actually a sculpture. it is a guy wearing only underwear. students say if the idea is to get attention, it is
3:04 am
certainly working. >> just someone standing there kind of lost in their underwear. >> he's called a couple of people to call campus police because it looks like a real person. >> it doesn't look like the college plans to remove this man in his undies any time soon. >> you don't like art? >> it looks like a man frozen. >> at least someone stopped to see if he's okay. >> at a woman's college they've got the almost naked guy sleepwalking. >> speaking of colleges, duke university did a study, and they did a pretty comprehensive study of where we're at right now with obamacare and they say this -- and i think you should jot this down -- 44% of u.s. firms are considering cutting health care to their current workers adding to that c.b.o. report that came out yesterday. add to that that 40% are
3:05 am
considering shifting their workers to part time afterward. >> that's all because of obamacare. yesterday we were telling you about how the c.b.o. has taken heat from people on the left. you're killing us here. but the c.b.o. came out with a number where they said the affordable care act will cause the economy to lose something like two and a half million workers. and here's why. because as a person makes more money, their affordable care act subsidies go down so that they can -- wait a minute, i like that subsidy, so i'm going to work less, which is not good for anybody really unless you want to -- well, slack off. douglas elmendorf, the guy who runs the congressional budget office, which is supposed to be nonpartisan, said this about that. >> by providing heavily subsidized health insurance to people with very low income and then 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
3:06 am
absence of that act. these subsidies, of course, make those lower-income people better off. this is an implicit tax, not the tax we normally think about where the government raises our taxes we are worse off and creates a disincentive to work more. providing a subsidy people are better off but have less incentive to work. >> as suspected now confirmed by the head of the c.b.o. there. again, nonpartisan. charles krauthammer asking a great question again and again. is this the american way? i'm not sure. >> this is the liberals idea of the opportunity society. of course in a free society you can decide if you want to work. but what obamacare does is you can then choose not to work. and the people who do work end up subs dying you. -- end up subsidizing you. you can argue about the
3:07 am
side effect. this is giving people the opportunity not to work and to live off the sweat and work of the other people. is that the american way? that sounds odd to phaoefplt >> it goes against everything. the thing about capitalism, it doesn't work if you don't work. you can't make people volunteer but our society doesn't work if people aren't giving time and help to others and helping out in some organized way. we used to have a draft so everyone had to serve for awhile. now we don't have a draft. there are things that have to happen for society to function. if you are a parent, should we say kid, you can grow up to be anything you want. in fact, if you don't want to be anything, that is your dream to follow. promise yourself you'll never work and rest assured knowing the money will come in, programs will be there and you'll have money to subsidize your kids going to college because you'll be eligible for more financial aid. >> this is about legacy and what we're creating and
3:08 am
protecting about our country. are we a nation that doesn't value working? put value in that? the study you mentioned earlier said without the affordable care act, the c.f.o.'s told duke they interviewed the head of companies in charge of all the cash, they said they would hire more full-time workers without obamacare. you have worlds colliding. companies khaougs not to hire full-time workers because they're not able to pay them. now we have people who are -- their incentive to work is being stripped away from them by obamacare. these things are coming together. and now we find out 17% of working age men, ages 25 to 54, were not working in december. all these things coming together, don't tell us that this is recovery. does that feel like recovery to you? >> when you think about it one in six, about 17%, that's over ten million men
3:09 am
may even choose not to work for whatever reason. but a lot of them want to find work. in the same survey it showed that of working women in that age demographic, 30% are not working right now. some are looking. many aren't. a lot of jobs are lost overseas, some from technology. what it is is a symptom of a problem, and the problem is the economy right now. we read that we're on the road to recovery. we're not. there simply are not enough jobs out there. the reason the unemployment rate right now is at the lowest rate it has been for awhile is because the labor participation rate, the highfalutin phrase for the number of people out there looking, has dropped. why has it dropped? because there are not enough jobs for americans who want to work. a lot of people want to work but because of the economy and the choices the government has made, there are not many jobs. to 54 was1970's that
3:10 am
6%. 1970, when interest rates were 13% to 15%. >> home mortgages. >> incredible. in 2007 it was at 13%. it went up as high as 20% and is still holding. it is definitely concerning. what i think is the most interesting debate we've stumbled into now is the administration has pushed back saying i thought the republicans were the party of freedom. freedom to work, freedom to work one job, freedom to work a little bit less. what about the freedom to become a sculptor and not making that much money because you're pursuing your dream. but you can't pursue your dream and not understanding that pursuing that dream has sacrificed. now i'm going to get an automatic check in the mail. >> if you're working to get money, you've earned it and you feel like you have more control. that is how i was raised. you don't owe anybody anything. you work hard because you have to but that is okay
3:11 am
because it feels good to earn it. when somebody is giving you the money i think there is a philosophy difference here in that some may find it freeing when someone gives you cash you need. but others may find it not so freeing. what if the government is handing you money but they can change how much they hand you all the time? are you free? >> that is a good point. the reason c.b.o. came up with this number is because this thing called job lock. people are locked into jobs they don't want but they are in those jobs because they want to provide benefits for their family. so it's a good thing that people are not beholden to job lock. the problem is right now it does seem like the government is paying people not to work, in a way. doesn't it? e-mail us about these numbers that are not very positive but impact so many americans. friends@foxnews.com. or you can twitter us or

3:16 am
but pot now legal in a number of states as the president has been downplaying the effects of marijuana. makes you wonder what happened to the war on drugs? john walters is the former director of national drug control and policy under george w. bush, the so-called drug czar. he joins us live from d.c. whatever did happen to the war on drugs? once upon a time it was big, and now not so bad. >> it's a lot of people trying to keep kids safe, a lot of them getted treated. unfortunately a lot of die. still a lot of police and d.e.a. agents keeping people alive. president obama has stopped enforcing the law, not had a discussion about this. just willfully said we don't think this should happen. unfortunately we know, we've seen this in our culture, this is going to cause more people to get sick and not only with marijuana. mr. hoffman, and president obama's discussion of his
3:17 am
own use, it doesn't end with marijuana. when you start with marijuana you go on to cocaine or heroin or other things. the drugs are bad or worse if not ever with their potency and leadership is not there. >> you're referring to the president's comments about marijuana. he said recently, quote, i view it, marijuana, as a bad habit and a vice. i don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol. famously, you read one of those books, the new yorker guy, he smoked a lot of pot. he did cocaine, our president did, when he was a young person. now it sounds like he's supporting c.v.s. for stopping selling tobacco and yet smoking pot, hmmm. >> there is an important issue you touched on that should be emphasized. supply and demand have to be attacked. we've done a lot to
3:18 am
encourage people. we've all had people die painfully from cigarettes and consequences from cancer. we need to control the supply. if kids and people have it available cheap, it's more of a danger. what he's done with marijuana is he's allowed it to become a corner store in colorado. the federal law has not changed. you can see the talk about how many billion dollars this business is going to grow, has been projected even in the "wall street journal." why do we need more of this? why is it we can't be consistent about talking about threats? he doesn't have to arrest a single person. he could have used his connection with young people to explain what's wrong. instead he willfully decided he's going to be cool at the cost of a lot of young lives. >> john, every time we do a story on pot, we get e-mail from people, pot is no worse than alcohol and you're always talking about alcohol. but when you were on last time, the scientific evidence is that pot impacts a young person's
3:19 am
i.q. it makes you dumber in the long run. >> this is a kind of chemical brain damage we hadn't known about 15, 20 years ago and we now have growing research about that, about the connection to triggering and worsening depression, thoughts of suicide in young people. we know the teenage brain is more malleable because it is maturing. we didn't know this before but now we do. this is like asking for an epidemic of brain damage in our kids. it is just so irresponsible. and to know better and to say this is i think inexcusable. >> john walters, once upon a time drug czar for the united states of america. 19 minutes after the top of the hour on this thursday. a giant ship no match for the sea. a massive wave eventually split it right in half. we'll tell you what we know. jay leno taking his

it's a story we've been following quite closely. 40 students at a salt lake city elementary school had their lunches thrown out because they had no money on their lunch cards. on tuesday the school board held a meeting and released the following statement: taking effect immediately, no child will have their meals taken away ever again and all students will be able to accrue one week of negative balances and still receive full meals. once that balance reaches zero dollars, parents will be notified every day until that account is filled back up, end quote. some parents say that is not enough. joining me is one of the parents whose daughter is in third grade at the school. good morning. certainly a story we were telling here. we couldn't believe it happened. what is your account after this
3:54 am
meeting on tuesday? are you not satisfied with what the school and the district came forward with? >> yeah. especially the parents at the school felt like it was an unsatisfactory outcome at the school board meeting on tuesday. >> why? >> well, kelly orton, the district nutrition director for the salt lake city school district, offered kind of, you know, semi -- like a half explanation of why things happened. it just didn't satisfy us as to the steps were going to be made to correct it and kids were not going to be denied their lunches in the future. >> the parents are one part, but the kids are the main part. your daughter, i understand, was there. some of her friends had their lunches taken away. how did the kids react? >> it was awful. i mean, this is a school where
3:55 am
most kids do not usually go without school lunch. it was a billing error with the new system that caused the glitch. so you had a lot of kids being given this partial lunch when they took their tray to the counter and had the majority of it thrown in the trash and just offered this milk and a piece of fruit. so there were a lot of tears. it was a lot of shame. they ended up going back to the classroom. the teacher went back through the line for some of them and bought them new lunches or kids shared their lunches with them. >> so the kids shared their lunches. so they stepped up when some grownups in the district didn't. i understand the lunch lady, too, unfortunately, she came under fire when she was trying to help the kids. >> yeah. that's been one of the saddest things is this lunch lady, shirley, who the kids and the parents just adore, was literally in tears as this district supervisor standing over her, forcing her to do this really unspeakable act. >> what did the parents want?
3:56 am
you have a district that sort of got in there and said the lunch lady couldn't give these kids lunches. what do you want as a mom? >> as a mom and as a utah parent, we just want to insure that this never happens to another utah child again. it's really shined a spotlight on the fact that this is happening across the state to hundreds of kids every day. the kids that don't have a full balance on their lunch account are either being denied a lunch, being denied the opportunity to go through the lunch line, or being given this really substandard partial lunch. >> your message was heard loud and clear and i love that those kids stepped up in the lunchroom. thanks for sharing that with us. >> we were hopeful things are going to go well. >> we will stay on it. keep us posted if anything changes. thanks. >> thanks. coming up, obamacare costing millions of jobs. the "new york times" says that's a good thing?

4:03 am
millions of americans while making those millionaires ineligible. last month, senate republicans blocked an earlier version of the bill. three of the four people arrested who are connected to philip seymour hoffman's death are now charged with drug offenses. this as learn hoffman's telephone number was found in three of the suspects' cell phones. at least one of those phones belonged to this guy, struggling jazz musician. the 57-year-old has ties to a number of celebrities, including the late amy winehouse. and how much weight loss is too much? the winner of the tv show "the biggest loser" raising eyebrows after going from 260 pounds to 105 pounds. some are saying that she lost too much weight. but 24-year-old rachel frederickson says she's proud. >> well, my journey was about finding that confident girl again and little by little, challenge by challenge, that athlete came out and it sparked

inside me this feeling that i can do anything. >> nbc release ago statement saying we support rachel and all of the biggest loser contestants. we remain committed to helping contestants attain healthy weight loss and live healthier life styles. she's great, into sports and fit. good for her. >> what more can you ask for there? >> thank you. four minutes after the top of the hour. yesterday we told you the lead story, the nonpartson congressional budget office figured out the affordable care act will cause the economy to lose 2.5 million workers essents is if you get a subsidy through the affordable care act, exchanges, what happens is if you make more money in the future, then the subsidy gets phased out. so people are thinking, well, i want to keep the subsidy so i'm going to wind up not working as much, making as much money so i can continue to get the subsidy. they say essentially -- these
4:05 am
are the congressional budget office people saying -- obamacare is an incentive not to work. >> right. sucks the incentive out of working and also noted was that the middle class would be depleted. >> would is going to work? >> there is not going to be a middle class if it continues. but the "new york times" editorial on the report felt differently. it said this: the congressional budget office estimated on tuesday that the affordable care act will reduce the number of full time workers by 2.5 million over the next decade. that is mostly a good thing. a liberating result of the law. >> yeah. the whole work ethic and self-esteem and paying into the system rather than taking from the system doesn't seem to have gotten into their school of thought. one thing the "new york times" did yesterday and then today is doubled down on it. meanwhile, jay carney says, i have an angle on this story and it has to do with freedom and republicans looking like
4:06 am
hypocrites. listen. >> the republican party that used to herald freedom choice and opportunity that used to call for specifically an end to job loss created by the need for health care and health insurance is now find not guilty this report which is overwhelmingly positive when it comes to its assess am of the affordable care act, a political, you know, slogan that happens to be factually challenged. >> it is overwhelmingly positive. the cbo chief came out and essentially saying we're going to lose these jobs not because they're disappearing, but because people will choose not to have these jobs because they're getting these subsidies and the fact is you have to want to get promoted in a job and eventually lose those subsidies. it seems to be leaving the american consciousness. among those people concerned about it is staples founder and former ceo.
4:07 am
listen to him. >> i just think this notion of let people stay at home, not work, let other people subsidize is not the american way. people who work their way up the economic system by striving hard, often working two jobs and then getting promoted and oftentimes buying their own business, starting their own business, that's the american way. we ought to encourage that. not disincentivize that. >> so they knew going in that there would be a number of people who would simply do what we've been talking about. they estimated it would be 800,000. instead it's at least four times bigger than that, so this is a big problem. this is also one of the reasons why -- there is a story in the "washington post" this morning about how a number of people who are running for congress, they're saying to the president, please, do me a favor, don't help me with my reelection. they had a meeting with the president with senate democrats at national stadium in washington yesterday and one
4:08 am
senator said, the president said he knows he's not popular with many americans, so he would not be offended if you did not ask him to help out. the day before in the east room of the white house, they had a meeting for house democrats and carol shay porter, a democrat from new hampshire, she had the audacity to ask the same question that bill o'reilly asked. she asked the president, why hasn't somebody been fired for obamacare? and what made it a little awkward is kathleen sebelius, the person responsible for it, was floating around mingling with the congress people at that time. >> think about how humbling this is for the president. senator mary landrieu said i don't want to appear with you in south carolina. senator hagin says the same thing. senator pryor in arkansas, same thing. really the first time, the president has ever experienced that. >> the numbers aren't good. we see over 2 million people that will be opting out of full time work. you see a lack of accountability

the united states is not aware of any specific threat right now, but mike mccall, who heads up on the house side the department of homeland security committee, he said that the threat was specific and credible and perhaps what he was talking about was apparently this particular threat, has been linked to the arrest of two chechen women in france. one was 23. the other is 30 years old. whatever intel they got from them, now next thing you know, they're saying if you got the little crest tube, beware, or any brand. >> let's talk about sochi. seven years to get ready. how are they? wild dogs are everywhere. they're -- >> they're killing the dogs. >> their way of solving the wild dog problem who are messing up the streets is have them killed. that's a nice touch. people are outraged about that, including us on the couch. these are stray dogs, but i guess they're everywhere, as well as stray cats. run for your lives. number two is, we know that at least three, four media hotels are not done. and the ones that are done are

of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza®. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza®. he said victoza® is different than pills. victoza® is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once-a-day, any time, and comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza® is not for weight loss, but it may help you lose some weight. victoza® is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adultth type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes

or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza® has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza® is not insulin. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza®, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), which may be fatal. stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar.
4:45 am
the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza®. it's covered by most health plans. 15 minutes to the top of the hour. gps is great until it gives you wrong directions and you wind up behind bars. a retired u.s. army sergeant was driving in vermont when he made a wrong turn and wound up in canada. border security found a gun in the car and arrested him. and the president's political action group organizing for america is out with a new ad urging congress to raise minimum wage. but there is a problem. one of the hard-working americans shown is actually a woman riding a london train. what do you think about that,
4:46 am
brian? >> i'm all for it. their web page still isn't up and running and until last november, covered oregon had zero obamacare enrollees, all the while the woman in charge was painting a much different picture of the program to officials in washington saying, this our federal partners were delighted with the technical application they gave. oregon very high marks saying our design was among the best they had seen across the nation. but our next guest claims carolyn lawson lied and the site -- about the site's progress and given more than $50 million in federal grants because of it. patrick sheen is a former republican state rep who reported the allegations to the f.b.i. and many people are saying somebody should go to jail because of this. what outrages you the most about this whole entire process? >> what outrages me the most is that people in oregon aren't getting the health insurance they were promised. i brought this up more than a year ago in our committees. i was very critical of cover
4:47 am
oregon's progress. someone came to me in confidence that was close to the exchange and gave me this allegation that oregon wasn't being truthful in their federal gate reviews, which is the benchmark that they get the federal funding in pieces once they prove functionality. k 2, the new station in portland, did some investigating and they uncovered some documents that showed that what he was alleging seems to hold up. >> in layman's terms, what were they doing with the software? they were setting up dummy pages and creating the illusion that it was up and running? >> i'm not entire leisure because i wasn't in the room. i actually saw it for the first time when the documents came out and i was floored that the things that i was being told in confidence had come true. that that was the case. 'cause what was being shown to us in our legislative committee was nothing near functional. >> so if nothing is near functional and they got the money, where is the federal government? where is the outrage coming from the government who wrote the check, which is on taxpayer dollars? >> i don't know. 'cause it's all our money.
4:48 am
to squander it like that is crazy. >> so having said that, who will be accountable to this? where is the investigation going? we're shed ago spotlight on it. your local station is doing the same thing. has anybody else picked up this ball? >> ultimately the governor has said he's going to take responsibility for it, but we'll see if that's true. he ordered a special investigation that started this week, conspicuously absent from that investigation was carolyn lawson's name. she was the i.t. director at the time. >> but by making these false claims, isn't that criminal? >> i'm not a lawyer, so i can't speak to that. but it would seem that that's a possibility. that's why i took it to the f.b.i., 'cause this wasn't an issue of legislative oversight at this point. if there was fraud, then it needs to be investigated and someone needs to be held accountable. >> having said that, what do you think the actual numbers are of oregonians able to sign up? >> i've seen some numbers as of a couple weeks ago. they're touting i think 114,000.
4:49 am
however, most of those are oregon health plan, which is our version of medicaid, that didn't really come through the exchange. they're touting about 20,000 individual policies, which is about half of 1% of oregonians. >> all right. this is outrageous. it's just one of the 49 separate cases that we have. every state, some say they're up and running, it makes you wonder how much are up and running. thanks so much. >> thank you. next up, new guidelines tell women to skip the early mammogram. but our dr. siegle says you should not do that and what other tests should be getting. they could save your life if you go by what he says. first on this day in history, 1911, president ronald reagan was born. he would have been 103 years old today. >> the commandment given us is

answer to our trivia question of the day, born on this date in 62, this rock star was welcome to the jungle back in '87. who is he? ale rose, who turns 52 years old today and our winner is bob from clovis, new mexico. going to be getting a copy of brian's book "george washington's secret six." good job, bob. happy birthday, axle. >> that's right. one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, according to the american cancer society. yet a new government study issued said that women over 50 should only get mammograms every two years.
4:54 am
is that safe enough? what other health screenings should you get annually? here to help us is dr. mark siegle. >> good morning. >> so that study and new recommendation has people kind of fired up about, particularly women. one in eight women being diagnosed, early detection is key. do you think a mammogram every two years is enough? >> absolutely not. the point you made i want to reiterate. the technology is getting better. so the more the technology is getting better, the more we want to use it. not the less. the most aggressive breast cancers are in the 40s. so i don't want to say to women in their 40s, it could be every ear year now. that's when you really have to look at it carefully. it's not the screening test. it's the screener. remember that. if there is unnecessary biopsies done, it's because doctors are ordering them. it's not because of the mammogram. let's get the information and then figure out what to do with it. >> good advice. you got five tests. we're going to go through this quickly. five tests you should have as an adult. one thing every year is get your
4:55 am
cholesterol checked. cholesterol is a very high risk of heart disease. if it's high. a new guidelines from the american heart association say don't just treat a number. treat as part of a risk factor. fine. i do that. i treat it as part of your heart risk factors. but it's a very big one. heart disease kills 700,000 people in the united states every year if you're cholesterol is high, i'll change your lifestyle and say exercise more, change your diet. if necessary, statin drug. >> we want to try to get to these which are so important. blood pressure, hemoglobin. >> blood pressure is hugely important, the number one cause of heart disease. check blood pressure every year. i do it on every patient over the age of 18. >> hemoglobin. >> because anemia can be a risk. why are you anemic? you can be losing blood? could you have colon cancer? if your blood counts go down, i'm gog screen your g.i. tract to make sure there is no problem. maybe aspirin eroded your stomach. >> a lot of people take it for their heart. thyroid. check that once a year. and you should check your blood
4:56 am
glucose. >> thyroid especially in women. over the age of 35, 30% of women have thyroid disease. they may be fatigued, not know it. they may have intolerance to the coal, not know it. get your thyroid checked. absolutely important. >> and then you said glucose to make sure -- diabetes? >> we have an obesity epidemic in this country. 23 million diabetics. they may not know t. they may be going to the bathroom a lot, very thirsty. let's check their glucose and another screening test for diabetes every single year if you're an adult. >> great advice, considering especially tomorrow is wear red day for heart health. dr. siegle -- >> check blood pressure that. will help your heart. check cholesterol. >> keeping everybody healthy. thank you. coming up, all eyes are on sochi because of several terror threats. but you're not going to hear -- you are about to hear from a former f.b.i. special agent who says we are looking in the wrong direction. a terrorist attack might happen somewhere else. >> then his winning strategy is tick off a whole lot of people. that jeopardy champ you've been

insignificant or limited material support for terror groups will no longer be denied automatic eligibility from asylum or refugee status. this will affect about 3,000 people who currently have pending cases. three of the four people who were arrested are connected to philip seymour hoffman's death, now charged with drug offenses. this as we learn that hoffman's telephone number was found in three of the suspects' cell phones. at least one of those phones belonged to the struggling jazz musician, robert vinberg. 57 years old. he has ties to a number of celebrities, including the late amy winehouse. the teen-ager we told but who killed four people drunk driving a you have the hook for -- off the hook for a second time. the judge not sentencing him to jail. instead, he's going to rehab and has been ordered not to drink for the next ten years. the case created a lot of controversy when the judge said that he was a product of affluenza and that his wealthy parents were to blame for his

5:06 am
are we changing the cal coulees in our country where we do not reward those for hard work and deincentivize people to work hard? >> we heard the congressional budget office, their new assumption here, they had a revised number that came out in terms of how many jobs actually were shifted from full time to part-time. that was 2.3 million. then another study out of that actually has 48%. this is out of duke, i believe. it was 48% of the cfo's of companies say they're considering reducing employment at firms because of the affordable care act. 44% say they're considering reducing health benefits as a direct result of the affordable care act. so a lot of gloom and doom coming your way. the cbo chief of obamacare himself said what's happening here is that we're sucking incentive out of working. brian, i think is what you were alluding to.
5:07 am
listen. >> by providing heavily subsidized numbers, the act creates a disincentive for people to work relative to what would have been the case in the absence of thack. these subsidyies make those lower income people better off. this is an implicit tax. not a tax where we normally think about. not where the government raises our tax. but a subsidy, people have less of an incentive to work. >> so in other words, you've got an incentive not to work. the thinking is -- they bake this into the cake. in the beginning they said, probably 800,000 people would fall into this category where they get insurance through the exchange. they get an incentive, a subsidy, which is something we've been talking about for a while, and then the more money they make, the subsidy gets smaller and they go, i'd rather have the bigger subsidy, so i'm
5:08 am
not going to -- i'm going to essentially put myself down the food scale where i am going to make less money so i can continue to keep this subsidy. i just got a tweet from somebody who says, at my company in massachusetts, employees beat the system and cut back their own hours to be eligible for the insurance subsidies. so that's how that -- people at that particular company are gaming the system. >> you known massachusetts where we modeled obamacare after? >> that's what it sounds like. so charles krauthammer looked at what the cbo is saying, looked how it's being applied, says what's going on right here, this is not the way we're supposed to do it in this country. >> this is the liberal's idea of the opportunity society. of course in a free society you can decide if you want to work. but what obamacare does, sort of the essence of liberalism, is that you can then choose not to work and the people who do work end up subsidizing you.
5:09 am
you can argue it's an inevitable side effect of any kind of benefit of this sort, but that's not the argument this administration is making. this is a benefit, a wonderful thing that we're giving people the opportunity not to work and to live off the sweat and the work of other people. is that the american way? that sounds odd to me. >> the government is giving people an incentive not to work. that's what the government's own referee is saying. >> is that true freedom? >> yeah. and a lot of people are choosing not to work. a lot of people can't work. it's a staggering number that's been released, about the number of people, between 25 and 354 unemployed. that number stands at 17%. two years ago it was as high as 20%. and look at this. back in the 1970s when we went from one recession to another, it was as low as 6%. so there seems to be for women, it's a little better. 30% of women ages 25 to 54 are also not working. >> think about that, though. one in three women in this country who are between those ages are not working. once upon a time more women stayed at home, so you would
5:10 am
think that's progress. but the economists say they thought that given the so-called recovery we would be at better numbers. but we're not because of job participation rate. the number of people who are sitting on the side lines for whatever reason, is so incredibly historically low. >> sure. more than two-thirds said they weren't looking for work anymore. >> some are retired. >> it's disheartening because of what the cbo has put out. there is now incentive to not look. >> because there aren't enough jobs out there right now. the big plan they had to turn the economy around so far has not worked. >> unless you're in a union, right? we heard the administration says it wants to end the job lock, unless you're in the union, as we just said, then you should have a guaranteed job and keep barbarians at the gate. i was trying to put this one together myself. listen to vice president joe biden. he was at united auto workers conference, interestingly enough, when he made this statement. >> the truth of the matter is,
5:11 am
you built the middle class, labor built the middle class. and there is a reason why the middle class is shrinking. i know i got in trouble for saying this before, but i'm going to say it again. you guys are the only guys keeping the barbarians at the gate, man. that's the deal. and i'm going to say something else because you've never doubted what i say i mean. problem is, i sometimes say all that i mean. >> so i got in trouble for saying this once before, but i'm going to say it anyway. who are the barbarians? what's the vice president talking about? >> if he's referring to the actual book and movie, he's talking about rich wall street. that's what he's saying. that's the only thing keeping them at the gate. you get him in front of a blue collar crowd, that's who he envisions himself. he does things to endear himself
5:12 am
to that crowd. when you talk about removing job lock, he's dealing with a group of people who are locked into a job and guaranteed jobs. so you can't have both messages. on one hand the administration through jay carney, spokesperson, if he isn't flecting the president's remarks, he is saying, look y are republicans so upset about obamacare and the fact that the 35-hour workweek is allowing people to have some freedom to spend with their families or pursue their dreams? i thought they were the party of freedom. at the same time you got the vice president addressing a bunch of union workers locked into that job and happy to do it. >> this administration right now in the minds of many may be making it, as we see by the numbers, less incentivized to work. it might be more worth it to not work at this point. what does that say about our nation? >> that's why we reform welfare under bill clinton. meanwhile, up next on our show. >> a fox news alert for you. bombs made from tubes of toothpaste? our next guest, a terror expert, saying that the chance of an attack is nearly 98%. >> then so much for eat fresh.

of people unsettled. what are we really dealing with. and the threat of 98%? >> right. the reason i give it 98%. 98% chance that there will be an attempted attack on something related to those games. the only reason i back off from 100% is that they have the motivation and a lot of cases, they have the tools and techniques to do it. do they have the access to actually carry these out? that's the thing that really is going to be a determining factor in this entire thing that is going on in s >> the toothpaste bomb, the potential for that. how real is that? what's being done about it? >> if there is a credible threat, then the possibility of it being real is absolute, i guess you could say. i brought a tube of toothpaste. i know you had these out there earlier. you can't fit a whole lot of explosive in this, so we really have to determine what are these attackers looking to do? what are they trying to get out? instill fear or is it to try and bring an airplane down?
5:18 am
>> what is it? >> well, with a device this small, it's going to take a very precise placement inside an airplane to bring it down, which is highly unlikely. >> so if it did indeed happen, are you saying that it would possibly be someone from the inside that could carry this out? >> that's where my main concerns are. i have two main concerns with planes. one is in -- primary concern are the people hired behind the scenes at an airport. every year we see again and again multiple people or groups of people going in and stealing things out of bags. that just shows you how low the screening process is on these groups that work behind the scenes. i think that's a major, major problem, especially when you get out of the united states. secondary are passengers that are coming in and will be boarding the planes in other countries. >> what about passengers here in the united states? >> the potential of you getting something on here is lower. i'm not saying it's impossible, but it's extremely low because the screening process is so good
5:19 am
here. again, my primary concern is going to be the people that work behind the scenes at the airport. one thing we have to understand is with this amount of explosive, you may not be able to bring a plane down. planes can fly without their scan. we had a plane in the late 90s that landed in hawaii with basically no roof on it. if their job is to instill fear to try to make a strategic change and put pressure on putin and instill fear on anyone going to the olympics, this amount of explosive could do that. >> scary bit of information. but awareness is key. we thank you for you being here today. >> my pleasure. coming up, a rock band suing the pentagon? the reason, they say their music was used to torture terrorists. and he's one of the most controversial contestantses in jeopardy history. >> sigh of relief, 2,000. national park, 4. 31 days, 400. plants and trees, eight. >> is he a game show villain or

your name and jeopardy. they call you controversial. why? >> you know, it's kind of funny because every couple years -- it's not a new strategy. the first person to play like i play was chuck forest, the champion back in 1985 when i was one year old. he just came back for the reunion tournament this week and won again using that strategy. so i think it's really that we live in the twitter age and that i was live tweeting my episodes as they aired and my wife kind of go aheaded me into -- geded me into responding. so it turned into a conversation. i'm not complaining. >> but you actually tweet while you're playing. correct? >> no, not while i'm playing. they would never allow that. >> while it's airing. >> it's taped, yeah. so i'm tweeting from my couch. >> could you tell me the strategy? give us an idea of the strategy that gets everyone so aggravated. first, you buzz in when? >> well, i buzz in when alex
5:26 am
stops talking, that's when you're allowed to buzz in. i think the thing is the way i hold the buzzer -- i didn't realize this 'til i aired, you can see me clicking the button rapidly. because if you buzz in even a little early, it locks you out for half a second. what they tell you is the strategy is when you buzz is inn to hit the button several times so if you buzzed in early, you'll buzz in again as soon as the lockout expires. >> and also you jump around. go for the big money things all over the board. you'll bet five bucks on sport 'cause that's not your department. is it true that before you went on, you actually googled jeopardy strategies and came up with this? >> yeah. i just put together -- the show is 30 years ole. there is a community of people called the j board on-line. a bunch of former jeopardy contestants and big jeopardy fans to talk about this kind of thing. it's been covered in the media, like when watson, the computer, was playing. obviously i can't know everything watson know, but they
5:27 am
talked about the strategies that the programmers put into watson and a lot are easy to do. like the jumping around. it's called the forest bounce. >> look at that. >> is it true that alex gets kind of ticked off at this 'cause he's got to find his cards 'cause you're going from category to category? >> he might have been irritated. hard to tell with him. he's a real game show pro. he could totally hate me and i don't think i'd know. he's got a very good professional poker face. he was never anything less than totally nice to me. >> sure. a great showman. you didn't break the rules. you just figured a way to play that's bugged a lot of people on-line, as i said, people call you controversial. what's your message to your critics? >> i said this before, like we're playing for money out there. so they didn't tell me to make people on twitter happy. they told me to win the game. and i don't get paid for making people on twitter happy. i get paid for winning the game.
5:28 am
if you don't want people to take the game seriously and play to win, then you shouldn't offer big cash prize. that comes down to that. i got to think about me and my family first. >> exactly. you're going to be back when and when can we see you again? when do you start taping other shows? >> it's already in the can. it's been taped. but my next show comes on after i believe it's the 1980s reunion tournament and then the college championship. so i'll be back on february 24. >> very good. and because it's already been taped, you can tell us, do you win? >> i cannot tell you. i cannot tell you. >> all right. arthur chiou joining us today from cleveland, mr. jeopardy, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> folks watching right now, what do you think about his particular strategy? is it fine or over the line? are the critics right or are they just cry babies? e-mail us with your feelings about arthur. >> right.
