bill: got it together. martha: our friends in the snow, good luck with the snow because we'll watch it as it goes through the day. "happening now" starts right now. bill and i will see you later. bye-bye, everybody. jon: that was a great song. breaking news on today's top stories and brand new headlines you will see here first. jenna: a new report showing millions of americans can't get health coverage now because they're either too poor or too rich. we'll explain. the killer of border agent brian terry will be sentenced today. terry's murderers use ad gun sent across-the-board by the united states in the botched fas and furious operation. we're live from the courthouse with that. iran releasing a video on what it calls a merciless attack on israel and u.s. interests. what that will look like. it is all "happening now." jenna: but first to our top story. brand new concerns over

white house efforts to fix the obama care exchanges as we learn the company brought in to clean up this mess has had a bit of a troubled past. hope you're off to a great week, everybody, i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott a crippling series of bugs, crashes greet the millions of americans when the obamacare website debuted in october. the company behind that initial rollout is gone. to fix the problem the obama administration has turned to accenture. but a review shows the company has a mixed record working with washington including troubled and delayed projections and allegations of ethical misconduct. along with that, a new "wall street journal" report says millions of americans are falling through a coverage gap in the law. they're too poor to qualify for government subsidies while living in a state that doesn't offer expanded medicaid coverage. joining me now to talk about that, the executive editor of the "washington examiner." to this accenture story, first of all, mark, $90 million they

are being paid to fix the obamacare website. is this another case of government throwing money at the problem? >> oh, it certainly seems to be that. accenture by the way has done very well under the obama administration, not with this contract. they have averaged about $900 million a year in contracts from the administration under obama. the under the bush, last five years of the bush administration it was only 780 million. so that is about a 16% increase. they have done well with obama. jon: it is a company that people know well. they operate throughout the united states but they are based in ireland. that cause my eye. >> well, actually the reason they're based in ireland is because the company has its roots in arthur and der send. you may recall arthur andersen had problems during the enron

years. somehow what survived from all that ended up being acquired by an irish concern. jon: yeah. the u.s. postal service had problems with accenture's work according to "the washington post." back in june the inspector general for the postal service wrote that, accenture demonstrated an absence of business ethics. but these are the folks who have been brought in to fix the obamacare website. >> the inspector general at the u.s. postal service is one of the best igs in the government. i've had some dealings with him. he is very, very competent. it doesn't surprise me you hear these kind of comments about a federal contractor with the kind of background that accenture has. about 40%, most people don't know this, 40% of all federal contracts are issued on a non-competitive basis of one kind or another. including this latest one for fixing healthcare.gov. when you have non-competitive bidding for contracts, basically what you're doing is just

handing people money and it is very difficult to keep track of whether or not they actually did what you paid them to do. jon: i know you have taken a look at the coverage gap issue as well. there are millions of americans who are too poor to qualify for subsidies offered under obamacare but they apparently don't reside in states where medicaid has been expanded. what are these people going to be left to do? >> well, they are in a very difficult situation because the way obamacare was set up when congress passed it, the state governments were given an option, not a particularly attractive option, but an option to basically expand medicaid and the federal government would pick up the tab for the first three years. then the states would pick up 10% each year thereafter. that is not a good deal for state governments because medicaid is almost certain to be expanding expenditure for them. nobody knows how much. so a number of states said no, we're not going to take that.

as a consequence of that you've got these people who can't qualify for the if he ral subsidies that are offered under obamacare but they can't get medicaid either. so it's a problem and it is just exactly what you expect when government tries to step in and take over from the private sector. jon: yeah. >> a sixth of the economy. jon: you say the real problem in terms of a coverage gap is the number of people who have just outright lost their policies, their private health care policies and have not been covered as a result of the new obamacare policy? >> absolutely. you know, you look at the, the box score if you will at this point for obamacare. about six million people have lost their coverage because of obamacare. and i think if you accept the, probably overly-optimistic numbers from the administration that three million have become covered that is a deficit of three million right there. and it is going to get worse as

2014 rolls out because because of the coming problems with small business coverage. so there is a real coverage gap here and it is not just what the states and medicaid. jon: it affects millions of people. mark tap scott is the executive editor at the "washington examiner." mark, thank you. >> my pleasure. jenna: the man convicted of murdering a u.s. border patrol age sent about to learn his fate. the man seen here gunned down agent brian terry in 2010 in a bloody shootout that ended up exposing the government's botched gun trafficking sing, "fast & furious." brian terry's cousin telling "america's newsroom" this morning that his family is still fighting to get answers from the obama administration. >> to this day no one has ever give us a cogent explanation to why this operation dough advised, why it was put into place, and fully given accountability of the individuals that were

responsible for operation "fast & furious." jenna: william la jeunesse is live outside the federal courthouse in tucson, arizona has covered this story since the beginning. william? >> reporter: jenna, as you know terry's murder set off a chain of dominoes if you will and triggered one of the biggest scandals of the obama presidency. today one of brian terry's killers who faced life in prison will likely get 30 years provided he testifies against others involved in terry's murder. >> i find myself mourning not only the loss of my son but the, what ifs and never will bes. i will never see his handsome face again or hear the words i love you mom. >> reporter: joseph centerry will say those words at the sentencing of manuel osorio-arellanes. he pled guilty to murder in brian terry's death. >> i need them to speak. i need to know who they took from us. not just us but all his brothers in law enforcement will know

that they are not taking anymore of my life from me. >> reporter: three years after his murder along the arizona mexico border the terry family made the long trek to where brian died. a monument marks the deadly firefight with the sinaloa cartel and three are in custody and two remain at large. >> we're looking for accountability within the department of justice to understand who implemented this program and why. >> reporter: weapons used in terry's assault belonged to "fast & furious" a u.s. government operation that put some 2,000 guns in the hands of criminals. knowing many innocent like brian terry could die. >> i was a proud mom of four children and now, i have one that's gone but he will always have a place in my heart and he will always be my hero. >> reporter: this isn't over. the family is continuing to pursue its claim against the

federal bought that itco should have for seen that innocent lives would be taken and suing the gun store. the gun store is suing the federal government because it lied to the owner about intercepting weapons. jenna, as you know the house is continuing to pursue its claim against the attorney general with holding documents that it is a cover-up and that the administration knew and approved of program the other suspects in mexico awaiting extradition. this will continue. back to you. jenna: we'll await the subpoenaing in a few hours. william, thank you for this particular man that is facing justice. william, thank you. jon: right now iran's government seems to be ramping up anti-american and anti-israel rhetoric even during a temporary nuclear arms deal with the west. a new iranian tv documentary, if that's what you want to call it, shows what a quote, merciless airstrike on israel and u.s. interests would look like if it were forced to attack. leland vittert is live in

jerusalem with some of that interesting video for us. leland? >> reporter: jon, in many places this tape looks like a very bad high school computer brasks project gone wrong but the message is very clear from the iranians. that if attacked, they will hit back with everything they have. not only against israel but against the united states. some of the targets shown on this video being attacked in israel, ben gurion airport, the defense ministry in tel aviv along with the israeli nuclear reactor. of course the other thing that is being discussed here in this video by the ayatollah, the supreme leader there in iran is attacks against u.s. interests obviously iranians are link very close with israel. they show attack on u.s. aircraft carrier as it transit the straits of hormuz. also against u.s. bases in the middle east. now a lot of this video shows drones flying around the airspace around israel. missiles coming in. fair to say, jon, this might be

a little bit more showing what the iranians want to do than what they actually can do militarily. it gives us valuable insight into their state of mind right now. jon: wishful thinking so it would seem. what about the warships that iran claims it is sending near america's maritime border? >> reporter: again you have to figure out how close these warships are actually going to get. it's a long way from iran all the way down around the southern tip of africa and back up into the north atlantic. no one is thinking here that this pose as clear and present danger to the united states or any type of shipping lane but clearly the iranians right now are trying to project force. they're trying to flex their muscles as these negotiations go on about their nuclear program. the military option is always on the table both from the israelis, also from the united states. this is a way of poking the bear a little bit against the united states as president obama here has said he believes there is a diplomatic solution to be found for the iranian nuclear program.

if at the same time both of these actions by the iranians gives a little insight what they're thinking especially with hard-liners there inside iran are thinking, the question is, as those decisions go forward about their nuclear program whether iran's military and leaders believe the press releases and videos or whether they know a little bit about their own capabilities. jon? jon: leland vittert, reporting live from jerusalem. thank you. jenna: two deadly car crashes over the weekend that happened thousands of miles apart but share a tragic connection. we'll explain on that. plus new testimony in the murder trial of amanda hayes. she is accused of brutally killing her husband's former girlfriend after a long custody dispute. the new testimony in the murder trial next.

jon: right now a look at some weather headlines we're keeping

an eye on for you. several inches of snow falling across pennsylvania making for rough driving conditions. this as crews are still working on restoring power and heat after last week's ice storms. some 19,000 customers are still without electricity there. this brutal winter taking its toll on the fishing industry? the great lakes. ice covering much more water than usual. that is driving up fuel costs for fisherman. georgia's governor already declaring a state of emergency in 14 counties. the state is bracing for another winter blast of snow and freezing rain less than two weeks after a snowstorm crippled the atlanta area. jenna: let's hope they get ahead of this one, jon. jon: that's what we hope. jenna: two drivers on opposite coasts killing 11 people in horrifying crash this is beakened. these crashes unfortunately share a common connection. in both case the driver was speeding down the wrong side of the road. in california six family members died and in florida another

fiery crash killed five people including four fraternity brothers. will carr is live in los angeles with more on this. will? >> reporter: good morning, jenna. we just got our hands on some chilling video that shows the wrong-way driver in florida literally moments before he crashed and killed five people including himself. i want you to take a look. this is cell phone video. in it you can see an ex-pa decision, that is video after the crash did, expedition. this driver is driving on the wrong side of i-275 in tampa. at the same time oncoming drivers were doing everything they could to dodge the suv. >> what is wrong with him? what is he doing? is he drunk? is he, what is wrong with him? i was just thinking what is wrong with him. >> reporter: probably a good question. the expedition did crash head on into a car filled with four fraternity brothers. everyone including the wrong-way driver was killed. authorities are working to see if drugs or alcohol was involved. in california there was more

karnage on sunday morning as well. authorities say a suspected drunk driver crashed head on into a the woman's chevy camaro cut the family's ford explorer in half on highway 60 in l.a. county. six people died in that crash. the driver somehow survived. she is in critical condition. she has been charged with felony driving under the influence and manslaughter. authorities say there is evidence of alcohol consumption found at the scene of the accident, unfortunately it seeps this happens too often. the ntsb put out a report about a year ago. in that report it says that on average 360 people die annually. it says that the majority of the wrong-way drivers are impaired by alcohol and that most of these crashes happen on nights and weekends. jenna? jenna: a lot of families having a truly difficult week and certainly need our prayers. will, thank you. jon: millions of pounds of meat now being recalled in several states. we'll tell you what you should look out for. and a new report raising

jon: right now, a california company is recalling millions of pound of beef and other meat products after processing diseased animals without proper government inspection. patti ann browne with details from our new york newsroom. >> jon, the federal government says eating these products could quote, cause serious adverse health consequences. the rancho feeding corporation is recalling more than

8.7 million pounds of meat products. this after usda inspectors discovered the company processed the products from diseased animals without a full federal inspection. the food safety and inspection service says without that inspection, the recalled products are unfit for human consumption. they include, beef carcasses, ox tail, liver, cheeks, tripe, tongue and veal cuts. they were processed from january 1st of last year through january 7th of this year. then rancho, based in northern california, shipped the items to distribution centers and retail source in california, florida, illinois and texas. the fsis says some of these products could still be frozen and in storage. this huge class one recall follow as smaller recall last month of more than 40,000 pounds of rancho meat products some far no illnesses have been reported. the recalled products are labeled est 527, with a case number ending in 3 or 4, jon?

jon: we're just finding out about this now? >> yeah. jon: patti ann browne thank you. >> thanks. jenna: as you continue to fight the war in afghanistan a new report raising serious questions about how we're going after our known enemies. a year-and-a-half ago the united states blacklisted the deadly haqqani network. that is a deadly terrorist organization that is the designation we gave them. this pakistani-based al qaeda ally is responsible for some of our deadly attacks on our soldiers in afghanistan. the designation is designed to crack down on them in myriad of ways especially who finances them a exclusive report from the "daily beast", there is no follow-up from us, not a dime seized to crack down on our operations because some lawmakers say politics is at play. jonathan schanzer is the vice president of research at the foundation for defense of democracies. he formerly worked with the treasury department as a terrorist analyst and quoted in "the daily beast" piece. nice to have you back on the program. >> thank you, jenna. jenna: before we launch into this specific issue let's talk a

little bit about what is at stake. the haqqani network is describe as the most violent and intransigent enemy of u.s. forces in afghanistan. if we could cut off their forces what would that mean? >> that would mean a significant blow to the taliban. they played as you noted a significant role and we've seen from treasury designations they have a lifeline to, for example, financiers in saudi arabia and other places around the gulf. they come back with huge amounts of cash and they're able to finance attacks ends about the united states and al applied forces. >> we're friends, quote, unquote, with the saudis. why can't we crack down on the money going from saudi arabia to the haqqani network. >> this is age-old question when we launched program if not before that. we know the saudis are significant force of terror finance. we worked with them to cut it down perhaps even half, maybe more than that the problem there is still billions of dollars flowing. a lot of it comes from deep pocket financiers, not

necessarily the government itself. and so that remains a significant problem in the world of terror finance today. jenna: as you see this issue with the haqqani network what is preventing us on us from completely cracking down on their financing? >> eli's piece was raising interesting question whether there is political will. we're trying to talk with the taliban to broke ear sears fire. this is a lot like what we're doing with iran, basically talking to them about easing sanctions to make sure they would work with us. even if that is not the case there are other issues at play. for example, in pakistan in these areas specifically where they're operating or in afghanistan you're not looking at a formal financial sector. in other words these guys are not holding bank accounts with dollar denomination that is would allow us to freeze those. they're working in cash, they're working in drugs, they're doing money laundering. that is how they are bringing money in and that is exceedingly difficult for treasury or other

agency to stop. jenna: we labeled iran as a state sponsor of terror which is part of reasons why we've gone through these sanctions as you mentioned. pakistan, the pakistani military supported and we know has connections to the haqqani network fighting our men and women in afghanistan. should we label pakistan a state sponsor of terror? would that be hemful? >> this has been a big question. we know the pakistanss have been involved supporting the taliban many, many years. there are things we need think about targeting. the problem is the same problem with the saudis and other countries around the region they're french any miss. they're not actually enemies or allies. we have delicate relationship with them. if we need things from them like pipelines for our activities for example in afghanistan it is extremely difficult to challenge them in that way. jenna: you think we're putting pipelines and future products we might work together with them on ahead of our lives of our

soldiers in afghanistan? >> look this, is one of those things, difficult choices made by the white house, by the defense department. it shouldn't be an either/or proposition. we should be able to walk and chew gum here. i would certainly like to see us try. jenna: jonathan, great see you as always. thank you. >> pleasure, thanks. jon: did then secretary of state hillary clinton know more she admitted about security concerns in benghazi? coming up new details on a report that is raising some serious questions. and pop star justin bieber could be in even more trouble. new reports that the d.a. has a smoking gun surveillance video that could have the beebs facing felony vandalism charges.

jon: some new testimony this morning in the trial of a north carolina woman accused of murdering her husband's ex-girlfriend. amanda hayes, seen here in the middle, is charged with murdering her husband grant's former girlfriend, laura ackerson, the one on the right, after a long custody dispute. grant hayes was convicted of the murder. he is now serving a life sentence. prosecutors say the couple wanted ackerson out of the way so they could raise her two sons with grant as their own. let's talk about it with jonna spilbor a former prosecutor. john manuelian is a former criminal defense attorney. >> good morning. jon: jonna, nine women and three men are on this jury. when they hear the details of

this ongoing email battle et cetera, between to the women, the girlfriend and the former wife, what are they thinking? >> you know, i read the email exchange and i don't think that is what's going to do it for the jury because it is almost like, it was kind of a natural exchange. it wasn't amanda hayes stating to the mother of her husband's children, i want to kill you. it wasn't anything like that. it was almost rather, i say friendly, friendly overstatement but it wasn't that bad. what i think the nine women especially will relate to in this case when it comes to guilty or not guilty is the fact that murder conviction is not going to happen. an accessory after the fact is more relatable to them. i think that is what they will hang their hat on. jon: jonna, one of the things that shows up here is amanda hayes inviting her so-called love rival to spend thanksgiving with them so that they and the kids can all be one big happy family. pretty good for the defense, i would think? >> i'm sure that the defense is

going to exploit that and say why would miss hayes harm miss ackerson and show those types of pieces of evidence to disprove the people's theory. however she has made exculpatory statements, jon, such as i heard hurt, i hurt her real bad. she is also seen in different locations they will show through cell site data she was at different locations after miss hayes was murdered in which the prosecution is going to show they were shopping around to dispose of the body. although i agree she may be an accessory after the fact it, be something a little more if they show the bigger picture, idea of getting miss hayes out of the picture in order to get the custody of the children. jon: jonna, you say the state so far has succeeded in proving that ackerson, i'm sorry that amanda hayes had motive, had opportunity too kill actor is son but ackerson, and that is where it ends in your view? >> i'm putting on my prosecutor hat today.

they have motive and opportunity which are not elements of murder but help explain a murder but what i think is the stronger case for the prosecution is accessory after the fact because science is on their side there, jon. we have, i don't think it is going to be disputed amanda hayes was in the vehicle that transported this dead body in pieces literally to the location where they dumped it in the river at her sister's house in texas. you can not mistake that. there is no, accidentally get in a car, hey, is something wrong here? she knew there had is be some sort of decomposing body, if she touched any coolers to dispose of it, she is guilty of accessory after the fact. jon: stick with us in a minute. i want to get to another criminal case or may be. justin bieber as you know is in trouble with the law in a number of places among them california and there could be some video evidence. julie ban is here with that. julie if. >> yeah, that's right. talk about having egg all over your face, jon?

justin bieber will have tough time getting out of this one. remember the egging incident which the beebs denies egging higgs neighbor's house? unfortunately for bieber the d.a. reportedly has two videos in his hands given by the sheriff's department could prove him dead wrong. here is another video obtained by "tmz" shows the egging you be the judge. >> come right over here -- call the cops. come on over -- >> hear bieber and his neighbor whose house he allegedly egged in a profanity-laced exchange the night of the alleged egging. there are two eyewitnesses, the neighbor and 13-year-old daughter who made 911 call at the same time bieber is seen on surveillance video making it nearly impossible for bieber to escape felony vandalism charges since the neighbor claims he suffered $20,000 in repairs. the question will the d.a. file the case as a felony or misdemeanor? the d.a. is expected to make a

decision this week, jon. jon: julie, thank you. let's get back to our conversation with jonna and john. john, i know that each case is supposed to be taken individually but justin bieber has been in the news a lot lately. does the, breadth of his problems, the number of places in which he is accused of breaking the law, i mean of, an arrest in miami, miami beach for driving a car way over the speed limit and perhaps under the influence, does that all go toward making this a more serious charge? might the defense, i'm sorry, might the prosecution lien toward a felony prosecution here? >> i think the felony prosecution is going to be filed because of the amount of the damages, not because it is his justin bieber and race car driving up and down a south beach miami strip. remember in this case he is accused of throwing eggs and causing damage in excess of $20,000. anything over the $400 in the

state of california would make it a felony. i think his worst nightmare isn't the charges themselves. it is losing his license, jon. in california, if you have a vandalism conviction you could lose your license up to two years. if you don't have a license, there is delay on eligibility. so he will not be race car driving up and down calabasas anytime soon and picks up charges and is convicted. jon: a lot of people would be relieved to hear that i'm sure. jonna, $20,000 for egging a house, it is extreme. jenna: completely extreme. prosecutors have to charge him. they have the video evidence. charging him with a felony is overkill. look at this way, jon. you read the headline. 19-year-old gets felony conviction for throwing eggs at a house you would think that injustice. in this case it would be too. no way the damages are not $20,000. they are probably not $400 unless the door was made of 24-carat gold paint that needed to be redone. what prosecutors should make him

do, pay back every legitimate cent of damage and charge with misdemeanor and see what happens. jon: john, do prosecutors think that if they don't intervene now, if they don't give this guy some tough love, there could be bigger problems down the road? >> and that probably is a thought in the prosecutor's head but prosecutor's are not justin bieber's parents or managers or agents. what i think they should do treat him if he is not justin bieber. treat him as any other idiot egging your neighbor's houses and causes damage. do it that way and don't elevate it because it is justin bieber. jon: john, we've seen it with stars, celebrities like lindsay lohan, california justice is pretty timid handing out tough punishment. >> well, i don't agree with that. i think the prosecutors pick every case on case-by-case basis. in fact just the opposite. i think they want to make it look like they're not giving justin bieber the extra deference. they want to make it look like they're being even-handed with

him. that is why they will be careful. as far as damages are concerned. this is a multimillion-dollar home. and you know, eggs could make that kind of damage but again i think at the end of the day there will be a compromise. he will probably earn a misdemeanor, if not a dismissal but his license should be his worry at this point. >> i think they should make him scrub the eggs off the property himself. >> they could do that. the judge could order him to do that. >> then he could scrub them off his face. jon: that would be worthwhile. john manuelian, jonna spilbor, thank you very much. jenna: must be hard for you, justin bieber, lindsay lohan, those are your favorites. which do you choose which is your favorite celebrity? jon: it is unfortunate who we turn into celebrities in this country, isn't it? jenna: it is news. jon: i guess. jenna: at least we take a look with our legal panels. unexpected endorsement for president from hillary clinton. former cia director throws support behind her despite questions raised whether or not she is in part to blame for lack

of security in benghazi on her watch as secretary of state. we'll look at that. oof, i actually did that i have know that really hurts. jon: ouch. jenna: a jogger taking a tumble on the snow seconds after telling a reporter how perfect the snow is for running. a little irony there. tough conditions out there. we'll get you updated on weather coming up. jon: ow. how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪

area. the congressional report also follows the accountability review board or arb, whose members were recommended or selected by mrs. clinton and state department undersecretary patrick kennedy is blamed for blocking additional security requests for benghazi. no senior executives including mrs. clinton and mr. kennedy were interviewed for the arb. a new book, biography of mrs. clinton quoted former cia director david petroleum showed the benghazi attack showed mrs. clinton's strength under pressure adding she would make a splendid president. lawmakers squaring off on sunday shows on the issue. >> she should have known security was not taken care of. she called it her greatest regret in time of secretary of state. that will be an issue. >> the only thing republicans are obsessed with obama care more, is benghazi. this is completely a political game they're playing. hillary clinton, joe biden, all great candidates far better than

there. joining me the editor-at-large for mashable.com. i hope we play more of that video, lance. it is called the life hand ii. what makes it different when it comes to the technology? >> it has electrical censors in the fingertip and thumb and goes to the nerve endings in the arm that would feel grasp if you were touching it creates a direct connection from the robotic hand to the brain, essentially, giving vital information about what you're touching and that is so important. jenna: i read that the man that is testing this out, again we're seeing some of that video, when blindfolded could tell the difference between an orange and a baseball. that is not something someone with a typical prosthetic hand would be able to do. >> right. they're using visual cues, information, to adjust their own grip on the fly to make sure they don't squeeze something too hard, cotton, orange, a baseball. you want to potentially grasp those things differently and

just the way a person with obviously a real limb could do. jenna: i was wonder about this. many of us have personal experience with prosthetics. we have travis mills, a frequent guest of our show, a quadruple amputee i asked him about his arm and feels to wear it. he was explaining to me, this is one of the pictures of travis. he won't reach out and grab his daughers because if he grabs his daughter he could squeeze her arm too hard and not be able to control it. if he looks at coffee cup or soda can he has to look at it to see what pressure. >> this is not about, okay you're reaching at it with a robotic hand and you know what it is. maybe you're reaching and sort of reflexively. any person -- jenna: like we're doing. >> we'll reach out and touch. they want to be able to control it in as natural way as possible. this is the thing. there so many people with amputated limbs in the u.s. this is real problem for people when

they lose a him, they don't have the natural response. researchers have been trying this. at one point they put nerve endings from amputated hand to try to move the feeling there. putting it in the arm, finger, arm to brain is so much more natural than otherwise. jenna: what do you think it would take for this to go mainstream? >> well, you know, there is a lot of research around pros theses, much more since the wars in iraq and afghanistan. things are moving so much more quickly than they used to. i would expect you have somebody testing this out. this is five-year range. this could be something that moves into the mainstream because they really understand how to implant these things now, how to find the nerves. they're working much better at sort of a microscopic level even on human beings. so i think five years from now we could see amputees using this technology but in the future there will come a time where we won't be able to tell the difference between a real limb and prosthesis. jenna: because of the way it looks? >> not just because of way it

looks and acts and responds. the motion, if you looked at video, what you notice the hand looked a little bit more like a hand. jenna: right. >> you go back to world war ii with people getting proprosthetics basically getting claws. we're well beyond that. there is project called luke, like the "star wars" hand from dean kamen. put together with realistic-looking hand that feels like a real human hand. this is not science fiction this is science fact, 25, 30 years down the road. jenna: just fascinating. as far as it being used in other limbs and legs for example, or feet, is it mainly for that or fingers is where the technology is focused? >> honestly, you have nerve endings everywhere, the way you run, way you walk, how you adjust your step is based on information you get back, right? so if you're stepping on soft ground or hard ground, that is, response you want to react to. so if you have nerve endings or

something connected to nerve endings and artificial limb on your foot it is certainly going to make a difference. jenna: we hope it becomes more mainstream. interesting to see where t goes from here. lance, great to have your expertise. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. jenna: jon? jon: in oregon, snow would not keep this jogger off the snow. in fact telling a reporter how great is the snow for running. >> what are you saying running? is it really good out? >> very good texture, low-impact your feet don't get wet. jon: nice. then this happened. she takes off and, whoops. jenna: you see the ice, don't you, jon? in the middle of the road there? jon: she slips and fell. partner turns around and helps her up, thankfully only her pride was hurt. jenna: easy to do. putting feet on the ground in this weather, difficult thing to do. jon: that is exactly right. house republicans are holding off on immigration reform because they don't trust

the president to enforce the law. more with new questions they're raising about president obama. plus a new study reveals kids are getting too much caffeine. soda, the obvious culprit but you might be shocked what else is putting calf sphene in your kids system.

jon: big developments and breaking news this hour. jenna: credibility controversy. why new questions are being raised about whether the president can be trusted. and how it could impact key issues like immigration reform. we'll look at that. also could a serial killer be on the loose? why a community is on edge after a popular teacher was gunned down in her own home. the attack has striking similarities to other murders nearby. we're live with that story. and the president of the hobby lobby speaking out in a rare television interview. what he has to say about the upcoming supreme court showdown over the contraceptive mandate attached to obamacare. it's all "happening now."

we begin the noon hour on the east coast with the republicans putting the senate in their sights. now growing more confident over taking that chamber in the midterm election. we still have a few months before that. we have to get through monday first as well. jon: and anything can happen in politics. jenna: that's right. i'm jenna lee. jon: and i'm jon scott. g.o.p. getting its groove back as it sees the electoral seat in its favor. many races once seen as out of reach are now turning competitive. the turn around in the party's fortunes coming as some democrats back a we from president obama seem to go keep him at arm's length on the campaign trail. bret baier is anchor of "special report." is it all about obamacare or is there something else afoot here? >> good afternoon. it is a lot about obamacare for republicans. they believe that issue has changed the entire dynamic and fundraising efforts have comb f

improved in the wake, they say, what has been a horrible rollout of obamacare and there is this increased confidence in the republican side that they can pick up the six seats. there's a long way, as you mentioned, between here and november and a lot can happen, especially in primaries around the country. so a lot of republicans are cautiously optimistic, some more optimistic than others. jon: the politico website today had this interesting headline. it says white house's senate strategy, keep obama away. and it goes on to quote a number of democrat and some republican senators regarding the president's ability to influence races this time around. mart is a democrat from alaska running for re-election and he says i don't care to have him campaign for me. i would rather have him come up to see where his policies aren't working. that's a pretty bold statement to say to your fellow democrat

when he's leader of your party. >> but in those states like alaska, louisiana, georgia, north carolina, the president's approval ratings are underwater, they're upside down. a visit by president obama likely would not help the candidates. he likely will help the candidates in other ways. he's doing a number of fundraising efforts, including been in a couple of weeks here in the washington area for the democratic senatorial campaign committee. so he'll raise money that way but as far as individual campaigning in the states, democrats will likely deploy vice president biden, first lady michelle obama, maybe even hillary clinton to states where the president's approval is not too good. jon: alaska is a long way from washington, d.c. and i suppose senators can expect he likely wouldn't be getting a presidential visit anyway but then there are some democrats who are a bit more circumspect.

when asked about the possibility of a presidential campaign, she says i campaigned with the president in 2012. he may come back. i don't know what he's going to do. talk about a luke warm endorsement, i guess. >> that's right. you know, she faces the prospect of former senator scott brown getting in that race and according to polls, that could be a close race or at least put that race on the map competitively. if you look at the map, democrats are defending five out of 10 states where the president is unpopular and if they expand that map a little bit more, new hampshire, michigan, iowa where republicans or at least prospective republican candidates are polling well, you have a situation where democrats look vulnerable. if you look at the history books since 1914, the party in power in the white house has averaged

a loss of six senate seats for the midterm election. you know, the republicans need six to pick up seven. jon: if you look at more recent history, republicans were pretty confident about their prospects the last two times and shot themselves in the foot with candidates who didn't prove up to snuff. >> that's right. 2010, 2012, both times republican could have picked up the senate and many believed because of choices made of the candidates in the primaries winning that they were less likely to win in the general election in those particular states. i think that's where the real battle is going to be and that will determine how republicans set up for the fall is the primary battles that start in march. jon: and this will determine what president obama's legacy ultimately is. i'm sure you'll talk about it tonight on "special report." thank you for joining us today. jenna: more politics now and more questions about the

president's credibility from lawmaker like john boehner who said republicans will not try to pass immigration reform this year because they don't think the president will follow the law. take a listen. >> there's widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws. and it's going to be difficult to move any immigration legislation until that changes. jenna: a foreign affairs correspondent is live with more. how are republicans using obamacare to back away from any sort of deal when it comes to immigration reform? >> well, jenna, there are two issues involved here. one is complexity and the other is the white house issuing waivers that republicans believe are intended to evade the intent of congress. republicans note that the white house fumbled at least at the start, the health care.gov website and then waived parts of obamacare that applied to big businesses and people with bare bones insurance policies.

republican senator was on "face the nation." >> i think there is a real trust deficit right now that the speaker is facing and it's related to obamacare and the disastrous rollout. let's think about it. immigration means doing a lot of complex well and in addition to that, the administration keeps issuing executive orders to change the law very frequently. >> the president's promise in his state of the union address to issue more executive orders didn't help build trust with members of congress. jon: and the reaction from the white house? >> the white house believes that republicans are manufacturing reasons not to agree to an i mean grags reform bill in part because of deep divisions about the issue. as the president travelled to michigan last friday, his press secretary said, quote, why did republicans block comprehensive i mean grigs -- immigration

reform in 2006? we all know the answer to that. >> the tea party kept coming out of the house. maybe we'll do this maybe we don't. last friday speaker boehner said we're not going to go forward because we don't trust president alabama. -- president obama. any excuse will do. >> he said the house is afraid to pass a bill because they're afraid of what might happen in a house senate conference committee. jenna: wendall live at the white house. thank you. jon: so the 2014 midterms are fast approaching and one well known senate democrat already finds herself in a tough reee re-election fight. mary landreau is seen as especially vulnerable. the main reason, they are record on obamacare.

here is more on that. >> good afternoon to you. louisiana is certainly critical through republican fortunes in november. they need to pick up six senate seats to take control of that body and we found out from talking to voters in louisiana that because of obamacare, that state is in play. at frank's restaurant outside of baton rouge, the motto is, it's all good. but if karen and charles are any indication, it's going bad. >> we voted for her every year but i won't this year. >> karen is a republican, husband is a democrat. both were rock solid for landrieu but not this time. >> i think she let the state down on the obamacare issue. >> a few miles away, no question what the number one issue in this election is. >> it's going to be obamacare and it's going to be what it's done to destroy small businesses. >> landrieu has tried to call on the president to honor his

promise that people could keep their current insurance. for shannon who voted for obama and landrieu, it's too little, too late >> she made herself look good by saying that. it didn't change my opinion. in the end, she voted for it. >> obamacare hurts louisiana families. >> the koch brothers have taken their toll. landrieu is trailing the republican frontrunner. >> she has to get voters to buy into obamacare or she won't get reelected. >> louie is a republican but a big fan. >> but she really looks out for the people. she's a good legislator and i would vote for her. disrespect she also has huge name recognition. her family is a political dynasty in louisiana. add to that the fact that she is a seasoned campaigner. >> right now she looks like she's in trouble but she's been doing the rope-a-dope and

getting pounded by the koch brothers. she hasn't fired back again. >> the november ballot is a so-called jungle primary. there will be at least three republicans battling one democrat leaving many in the republican party to be concerned that all those republicans could split the vote and allow her to run up the middle and win the election with more than 50%. jon: one of the many states we'll be watching. john roberts, thank you. jenna: an american citizen in the cross hairs. why the united states is weighing a drone attack against him and why the obama administration is holding its fire for now. also a new setback for an american held captive in north korea. why the united states is so concerned plus the supreme court showdown over obamacare's contraceptive mandate. president of hobby lobby speaking out as the battle heads to the nation's highest court.

jon: north korea is cancelling talks with a senior u.s. envoy on the possible release of kenneth bae, the american is being moved back to a hard labor camp. he's been in prison in north korea more than a year charged with what north korea called unspecified acts. bae, a catholic natimissionary, worried about his health. the state department says it is deeply concerned about bae's condition. jenna: upcoming subpoena real court showdown about the contraceptive update and the president of hobby lobby is speaking out about the contraceptive battle. he's joining us now. this is a great interview. we can't wait to see the full thing but the big questions for this company is why did they make this decision? why did they make the choice to

take the fight to the supreme court? >> well, the company's mission statement says it is driven by the, quote, honoring the lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with biblical principles. they say they shouldn't have to check their faith at the office door. i talked with the president gren and he said the government is forcing them to provide cost-free access to four specific contraceptives they believe can induce an abortion. i think we're having trouble with the sound byte here. he said there are women that be chool those products, though they want to stay out of that conversation between the women and their doctors. they say the government is forcing them to be in the middle of the whole conversation saying that they have to offer the products at no cost to their employees. steve green says they're the ones being imposed upon and that's what their lawsuit is all about. if forced to comply with the mandate, hobby lobby would have to pay fines of $1.3 million a

day. jenna: 1.3 million a day. how is the administration gearing up for its own chances to win when this case goes to the supreme court? >> well, h.h.s. secretary sebelius, the agency overseeing the regulations, is standing firm. in the government's brief, this is what the administration argues about this question of religious faith. the challenge provision imposes no personal obligation on the green. it instead regulates only to corporations they own and the grups the program sponsors. the law does not entitle them to an exemption for the corporations based on their individual religious beliefs. but the greens say they started this company in the garage. it is owned and operated by the family and their religious beliefs are very much inter twined with the decision of the company. the justices will hear this case in march on the 25th

specifically. jenna: it is a fascinating case and we're being a little tease. we're talking about this great interview you had on camera and we just had a technical issue with the sound bite. we'll show a big chunk of it on "special report" tonight. >> tonight at 6:00. jenna: can't wait to see it. jon: she really did do that interview. a teen goes into cardiac arrest and dies after downing a popular drink. her death now raising fears about kids and caffeine. f.d.a. announces some surprising foods that have a lot of caffeine in them. plus -- a blast from the political past. why a confidential memo from when her husband first ran for president could spell trouble for hillary clinton in 2016. ♪

rick: right now police investigating. two sisters found dead in the home apparently from gunshot wounds. >> that's right. two sisters, ages 38 and 44, were found shot to death in their basement in pennsylvania after they didn't show up for work. the women, sara and susan wolf, are also sisters of iowa state representative mary wolf. the bodies were found friday afternoon. police classified it as a double homicide. the next day, they found sara's car parked nearly a mile way from their home in pittsburgh. there was no sign of forced entry to the house. medical examiner says both women died of single gunshot wounds to the head. police believe what happened transpired thursday evening between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. but beyond that, few leads and no motive. sara wolfe was a psychiatrist. susan wolfe, a teacher's aide in

pittsburgh. in addition to iowa state representative mary wolfe, the sisters had three other sisters and two brothers. most of the family remained in iowa but susan reportedly moved to pittsburgh recently to live with her sister sara. representative wolfe released a statement saying she is heart broken and grateful for the outpouring of support. jon: let's hope they get that one solved. thank you. jenna: now we go to the presidential race in 2016. with the confidential memo surfacing for more than two decades ago, the subject, research on hillary clinton conducted during her husband's white house run in 1992 with pollsters finding that voter seem to view the former president as slick while they categorized her as ruthless. these are words from the report. james rosen has more on this. >> good afternoon. these are other revelations come from the papers of a close friend and adviser of the clint onz. arkansas political science

professor named diane blair. blair died in 2000. the conservative website the beacon reports these papers were unsealed in 2010 at the university of arkansas special collections library and include documents relating to the clintons that span from the mid 1970's all the way to y2k. during the lewinsky saga in 1998, blair recorded the contents of a telephone conversation she had had with then first lady hillary clinton and it included some harsh words for the white house intern whose affair triggered the impeachment trial that ended in acquittal for the 42nd president of the united states. it was a lapse, blair quotes, of her husband back then but she says to his credit, he tried to break it off, tried to pull away, tried to manage someone who was clearly a narcissistic looney tune but it was beyond control. no matter what people say, it was gross inappropriate behavior but it was consensual, not a

power relationship and was not sex within any real meaning, stand up, lie down, oral, et cetera, of the term. the blair papers also include a handwritten note that bill clinton wrote around 1976 about a year into his marriage to hillary rodham. the recipient of this note is unknown but it appears to have been a woman with whom bill clinton was having an affair at the time. by the time i could call last night, it was too late and i was too spent. today is thursday. i will be at the little place down stairs in the union at 11:30. if you aren't there, i'll understand. and if you are, i will. at 3:30 this morning, the note continues, i fell asleep over andrew marvel's "to his coin mistress". this is a neurotic poem and he concludes, it has been awhile since i could feel something so sharply across 300 years. secretary clinton's office did

not immediately respond to our request for a comment. jenna: thank you. jon: a clear and present danger. that's what some officials are calling an american terror suspect now overseas. why they want a drone attack to take him out. another danger right here at home. a serial killer could be on the loose stalking a neighborhood outside of washington, d.c. new details on the manhunt ahead. >> we're going to do everything we can to catch whomever did this. we'll miss her every day and in so many ways. when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

jenna: new reports that the united states may target an american terror suspect with the drone attack. the suspect is planning attacks on americans overseas. what do we know about this alleged american member of al qaeda? >> well, the story was first reported by a.p. reporter kim dozier. the pentagon and c.i.a. are not publicly commenting on the case in question. u.s. officials tell fox they are watching and discussing what to do about a number of americans overseas who have pledged allegiance to al qaeda and are trying to inspire al qaeda-like attacks. in this particular case, the president has not signed off on using a drone to strike the american in question because of new added legal hurdles that were introduced when the president tightened the

guidelines for when and if a drone could be used to kill anyone, especially americans overseas. critics say the new guidelines have caused administration to be more cautious. >> let me be the first to say publicly, the president's may 2013 policy changes for the u.s. targeted strikes are an utter and complete failure and they leave americans' lives at risk. >> right now c.i.a. drones have been watching this american, we're told, in an undisclosed country but cannot strike while they await a decision here in washington. jenna: who are they waiting a decision from? justice department, the pittsburgh, the white house? who are they waiting for? >> right now according to the report, the justice department has not yet built a strong enough case against this individual. they began looking into this american last fall. the decision on each and every drone strike and targeted killing must be signed off by the president. >> america does not strikes

to punish individuals. we act against terrorists to propose a continuing threat to the american people. when there are no other governments capable of effectively addressing the threat. and before any strike is taken, there must be near certainty no civilians will be killed or injured. the highest standard we can set. >> that was the new presidential policy guidance that was issued last may by president obama. we're toll the individual in question is not a household name but has been using his position overseas to inspire attacks. jenna: very interesting story, one we'll watch. thank you. jon: now covering the coverage, the media go all out to report the contents of n.s.a. documents stolen and leaked by edward snowden but sometimes the reports reveal too much. the associated press now finding that various news organizations disclose the names of at least

six intelligent workers. apparently -- intelligence workers, i should say. according to the a.p., it was then able to track down their home addresses as well as other personal information. and there's more. government secrets also were reportedly exposed by mistake. contributing editor and writing for the american conservative may go sglen, alan colmes is the host of the alan colmes show and author of "thank the liberals for saving americans." alan, you've been a defender of the leaks snowden has let out. anything about this story, does that change it for you? >> the media has to be very careful not to disclose the names. that's not to say that i don't think edward snowden did the right thing. i think he did. i know that's a controversial state many. the media has a responsibility

not to reveal specific information about names of agents of c.i.a. personnel who could be rendered very vulnerable and lives could be at stake as a result. you have to trust the media to do the right thing. jon: the "new york times" motto is all the news is fit to print. they printed that and then some. they're one of the papers that released this information, then went back to the website and redacted it. once it's there on the web, it's kind of hard to bring it back, isn't it? >> right. and i also couldn't find any mention of this a.p. story on the "new york times" website today so i guess they don't think this is -- they're too busy with the new book they've written and they're too busy to worry about we put somebody's life at risk. i'm old enough to remember in 1975, another disgruntled intelligence operative released names of a bunch of c.i.a. operatives around the world and one of them was an american who was killed, assassinated by

communist terrorists in greece and athens in 1975 and that led the congress to pass the intelligence identity protections act in 1982 that as far as i know, is still in force but not if it comes to snowden and the mainstream media and all of them. it's the case of mike rogers and dianne feinstein and all of the others who have been saying this is a big deal. >> edward snowden did not release the names. i'm old enough to remember robert novak who gave information from the alleged vice president's office. they would be just as upset about that that puts a c.i.a. person in danger. jon: you said that the media ought to be policing themselves or they ought to be responsible but who is to enforce that? >> we don't want -- it's got to be self enforcing. the media needs to do the right -- you don't want the government clamping down on the media

bridging first amendment rights and this is inadvertent and they did the best they could to redact this as quickly as they could. once it's on the web, it's on the web. it's hard to redact it. they know it was not meant -- it was not add vert ent and you've got to allow information to get out. i guess what i'm trying to say is that doesn't mean what glen grownwald did was wrong. we have to trust the media where to draw the line. jon: you say that you talk about the fact that the identities of operatives are supposed to be secret. there's a law that, you know, protects them but having seen this massive disclosure of information from edward snowden apparently, do you see any rush from the government to try to enforce the law here? >> i think it's always the option of the prosecutors, justice department to enforce the law or not. obama administration has chosen

not to enforce the law. i'm sure they'll have their explanations that will satisfy some but i emphasize that bipartisan group of everybody from die san feinstein to mike rogers to peter king and others have all said, this is a serious threat to the country, what snowden and greenwald are doing. eric holder and the justice department and obama administration doesn't agree. >> his yob is to get information. snowwald and snowden can't be put in the same camp. that's what a journalist does. greenwald didn't release names of c.i.a. agents. that was a mistake by certain media outlets. >> he gave them information. they released it. he has a role in it. you can't deny that. "new york times" made a mistake and now the peoples' names are out there and i don't get any apology at all from the media that did this, let alone justice for the people at risk now. jon: that is the concerning thing. some of these folks are just trying to do what they can for

their country. let's say all of them are and now they've been exposed as a result. >> i think he did what he did for the country, too, as did edward snowden. jon: good debate. thank you. jenna: we mentioned glen grown greenwald and there's a new venture he's exploring. he used to work for the guardian, the british newspaper. today his new website is making a debut. online magazine partly run by him, supported as well by a billionaire founder of ebay and the website is said to be covering a variety of different topics, not just the edward snowden stuff but they're going to have some documents leaked by edward snowden that haven't been published yet on the website. the intercept is what it's called. jon: let's hope they scrub the names of covert operators and other security personnel from that website.

well, a big controversy taking off at one of america's busiest airports. why the vice president called it more like an airport in a third world country. so why weren't federal dollars used to fix tup? we're live with that story. plus she's now known as the slope style queen. american snow boarder jamie anderson and her amazing olympic debut.

jon: airplanes landing at the wrong airport. they make the news when they do but it probably happens more often than you might think. a study by the a.p. finds that since the early 1990's, at least

150 flights either landed at the wrong airport or started to land when the pilot suddenly realized in time the mistake they were making. many of the incidents occurring at night. just last month you might remember a southwest airlines jet landed at the wrong airport in missouri. jenna: has that happened to you as a passenger or a pilot? >> no. i have not. it is confusing sometimes from the air. jenna: it's god to have that perspective. jon: especially at night. don't always see the landmarks. jenna: hopefully it doesn't happen to you. it's good to get your final destination. there's growing scrutiny on la guardia airport in new york city. vice president biden recently compared this airport to a third world airport. the vice president did oversee a trillion dollars in government stimulus spending. could that have gone to fix up a major airport like la guardia? we asked the fox business network. rich, where did all that stimulus money go?

>> vice president said it would rebuild america's crumbling infrastructure. it's just spent much more money on other initiatives. >> best estimate is maybe one eighth went for public infrastructure. close to $300 billion went for tax cuts and the remainder went largely to then state and local governments present firings of teachers and policemen. very little of this money actually went for public infrastructure. >> the stimulus law cost more than $800 million. bulk went to entitlement spending and of the $260 billion left, less than $75 billion paid for transportation and infrastructure projects. the government accountability office has much more of that money paved roads, upgraded facilities and paid for buses. jenna: i'll bet you've flown into la guardia once or twice in your life. >> yeah. jenna: what is the airport
