@foxnews.com. and word of the day. do not be a blooter when watching. please always remember the spin stops here. we're definitely looking out for you. i'm megyn kelly, live in new york city, and tonight. >> new questions about trust in the white house as the debate gets ugly over an administration plan to put monitors in news rooms across the country. plus? if i do not receive my medication i will die. i believed this president, i believed i could keep my health insurance plan. i feel lied to. it is heartbreaking to me. a devastating new situation on the obamacare plan, and we'll speak with the patient you just saw. and then, a security camera catches an nfl player grabbing his girlfriend in what his lawyer calls a minor

altercation. we'll report, you decide who was in the wrong here. plus, we'll speak with the parents who are trying to get their 16-year-old back after the state took her away in a fight over medicare and then ordered her not to talk about it. >> i'm saving my daughter's life. i'm not worried about the consequences to me. see why they're now risking jail time to come on "the kelly file" starting now. and you have got to see that interview with the family which is coming up in just a bit. but first, developing tonight, new questions about trust with this white house as we learn more by an attempt by the obama administration to monitor america's news rooms. welcome to "the kelly file," everybody, i'm megyn kelly. and the agency went on the record telling fox news as far as he knows no one has been dispatched yet. >> the study has not yet started. and that is why i think it is critical for us to make sure at the outset that either we stop

the study or if it is going forward and we make sure it doesn't infringe on anybody's constitutional freedoms. >> but this is just the latest in a series of controversies by the administration that has badly damaged its credibility. polling is split on whether or not obama is honest and trustworthy, look at that, down the middle. and the political lie of the year, if you like your health care plan you can keep it. and they gave the white house three pinocchios for these claims, so much for rebuilding the trust. this as the irs is caught targeting conservative groups. the administration is caught spying on the media and then lying about it. that is the case. and when there is a problem the white house has responded by blaming rush limbaugh and fox news. all this as the president looks to increase his own powers. >> i've got a pen and i've got a phone.

and that is all i need. >> by passing congress using his pen and his phone. many in the mainstream media ignoring all of this or simply refusing to hold the administration accountable. they're not really that interested in it. leading law supporter and president obama supporter, jonathan turley came on and spoke about it. >> he succeeded in things that his predecessors tried and failed on. >> and we're supposed to give them the benefit of the doubt. chris stirewalt is our digital fox editor and host. that is the problem, when you come asking for the benefit of the doubt no one wants to give it to you when you have a history of targeting the media. novant being straightforward and asking for trust and then not living up to it as various members of the administration have here, chris.

>> do you remember, counselor, rand paul's filibuster over drones? do you remember that? we talked about it. >> familiar, yes. >> it was a big deal. and what was the issue? rand paul said i want a letter from this administration that says you don't have the right to kill americans on u.s. soil who you say are threats to the country. and you can't do it without trial. and they said well, we don't have any plan to do that. we have no plan right now to kill anyone with a drone in kansas. and he said no, that is not the point. i want you to say you don't have the power. and he wouldn't do it. and he had to do a filibuster and hold up a nomination in the senate to get them to say we don't have that power. it is a trend we see, absolutely, with every presidency which is to draw power to itself. but in the case of this presidency, every time we turn around there is a new power that says ewe want to -- we want to create a data base with your

license plate. we wouldn't do anything bad with it. and we want to be in your news room to make sure you're telling the kind of stories that we think will do the public good. good grief. >> you have to hand it to them. who holds them accountable. i mean, the media all but ignores. maybe they will go a bridge too far and think we can mess with them, too. the odds of the administration wanting to go in and give the best support to the media, not so good however, the odds of them wanting to know why certain stories got rejected here are probably a bit greater. >> probably a bit greater, and what they invite the establishment fristoe do, tpre . the folks that think whatever the abuse of the press, it was

just james rosen at fox news, oh, well, then it was the ap, too, it is a little more complicated and they're stoorry they won't do it again. they say listen, we don't have a plan to shape your news coverage. we just want to make it better, we want to help. at a certain point the american people, that is what we've seen in the past few months. when you break the faith with the american people on a central issue and then come back to say we would like to reserve the power to whether it is fly drones over the united states or monitor your news room. just trust us. it is not going to happen. >> chris, good to see you. >> you bet. >> let's look more specifically at this fcc plan and what is involved. ben shapiro is the editor in chief, and good to see you,

gentlemen. now, they're already saying they're going to reevaluate this policy in light of this one fcc commissioner coming out and speaking so publicly about it. and now some of the back lash, but not abandon it. apparently the first test is supposed to happen in south carolina this spring. among the things they want to talk about, ben is a station's perceived bias. the process by which stories are selected. news room policing is how the fcc commissioner described it. and the question i have for you is what, what on earth would make the administration think it could get away with this? >> well, why not? the administration has gotten away with everything else. whether it is the targeting of fox news's james rosen or the ap, the entire associated press wrote a letter to the administration saying it would be really nice to allow us to take photos of the white house, instead of just handing out your propaganda photos. the truth is this administration has been harder on the press

than previous administrations. they know it, they're basically willing to cover for violations of press freedom that occur on a daily basis. this is an administration that has really gone out of its ways to give special benefits to reporters it likes, its gone out of its way to rip fox news, if you are one of the beneficiaries why would you object to a growing governor of presence in the media. >> this country has had a long legacy of an oppositional adversarial press. that is what distinguishes us from any other country in the world. if there was any idea that they were trying to interfere, i would be the first one to sound the alarm. i think the other guest, ben, is

being a little sensitive. what this is, is an academic study where administrations are free to participate if they want or not participate. >> let me -- hold on, i'm going to let you finish, but on the voluntariness point, the journalists already objected to saying if it is the licensing organizations that you have to respond to, saying oh, trust me it is up to you if you want to participate. there is an inequity in the power there to some organizations as though they feel they need to say yes. >> i think msnbc has power, i think media organizations are not wanting for power when it comes to the -- to government. they keep the presidential power in check. that is their role, it is your role, and you do it every night. the thing here is though this is in the interest of the american people. why this is being done is because of the 1996 telecommunications act which

required the white house to figure out what the communication needs of the american public is, for example if there is a natural disaster do people have the information they need to evacuate their homes. >> and it doesn't exist just to have debates like this. we also are supposed to provide a service which is emergency notifications and meaningful news information. understood. but this seems to be coming out and saying yes that is one of the things. but amazingly they have done it without sticking their noses in the news room since 1996. and what they're saying is this group hired to do it, is a research firm dedicated to the social and health solutions to improve the welfare of under-developed areas worldwide. grounded in the concept of positive change and they're the ones who are going to start asking about whether a station is biassed. and its perceived responsiveness

to certain stories and populations and the process by which stories are selected and the internal debate that goes into story selection. >> it is ridiculous, and as to the voluntariness point, kathleen sebelius made exactly the same argument when she was going to fundraise for profits. the government is not allowed to do it. they're in a power relationship with the very entity they're seeking to regulate. the only reason to do a study is because they want to gather facts, once you have identified the problem is the corrective is the government action. the informational needs are met by covering benghazi, they're met by covering justin bieber. >> i would be surprised if this was to gather more information to cover justin bieber. they're not saying the media has an obligation to the american people. they're saying they have an obligation to get information

out. if they're not getting the information out they need to find another way forgto get the information out. your pal, sean happnnity, to st criticizing the misks. . well, the radio and television communication they said like many bad ideas this one started out with good intentions. they talked about how it will have a chilling effect, and that government has no business working to influence our decisions and coverage. bark to it. also, the next group is blocked in its effort to help the soldiers who are waiting months to get their medical claims. we'll show you who in the administration is blocking them and look into why. plus some. congressman keeter, your decision to vote for obamacare jeopardized my health. the fact checkers looking into a new ad is not entirely

obstructed. we were not able to do the work they have been doing for a long time. now, seattle, the department has had problems. they have a wait time over 300 days just to get a response, there is 2500 veterans in seattle just waiting. and the department is overwhelmed, their backs are against the wall. they're pushing back trying to expose anybody to the fact that the back log is not getting better and they're still failing veterans. >> there was an e-mail from the department. from the under-secretary, saying i can't support these trips from the american legion into the seattle office. she didn't let them come in. the american legion that services vets says this is outrageous. now congress is saying we'll have a member of our team go with the american legion to make sure the vets are protected. what is the administration doing

and caught on camera, a disturbing incident involving nfl player ray rice and his fiancee. the video just released by tmz sports allegedly shows the baltimore ravens runningback dragging his fiancee.

you can see the incident here out of an elevator in atlantic city. rice's lawyers call this incident a quote, very minor physical altercation. end quote. and say the video does not show the whole story. joining me now, judge alex ferrar, host of the nationally syndicated show, "judge alex," not to mention a retired police officer. they come out with a very minor physical altercation. when the matter is fulled tried and completed you will have a better understanding of what happened. we ask the public to reserve judgment until all the facts come out. what could they tell us preceded that incident which the police say, she was unconscious because he punched her, he hit her, that would cause us to be more sympathetic to the defendant, mr. rice? >> well, initially i would say there is actually nothing that they could tell us that would justify that. but i know lawyers well enough to know that something will

surface. either the case will go away because the victim will not prosecute. but there is ought something, every defense lawyer will say no, no, no, you're barking up the wrong tree. this is not what it is. well, they know what it is. they know the story, the two of them finally left together after she regained her conscience nou. so it is not like they're enemies, the lawyers could say let me tell you what really happened. >> you know, when i first saw this i thought to myself maybe she is drunk, is that why she was unconscious? maybe they're going to say she didn't become unconscious because he hit her. but actually the summons said quote, he committed assault trying to cause bodily injury to her, rendering her unconscious. how can they charge that as a

simple assault with only six month's penalty? >> well, i suspect the police officers who cited them at the scene did not see the surveillance video. remember, this happened at a casino, i can't imagine a place that doesn't have more surveillance video than a casino, so the police officer -- >> now they have reports that they have seen some other videotape that we don't have that they didn't release to the public in the casino that shows a fight between the two of them. that they struck each other. i still don't understand when you have an unconscious woman thanks to a man slapping her how it is a simple assault. >> right, under new jersey law that should be aggravated assault. in new jersey, it is a simple assault for example if she slaps him, he slaps her. but if you knock somebody unconscious, it can be either a third degree or a second degree crime and exposes him to three to five years or ten years in prison. it is a serious thing, the problem is the case is difficult to prosecute when girlfriend

shows up and comes up with some story. to get back to your initial question, i can't imagine what story they will come up with when the surveillance cameras caught the whole thing. >> she has been charged with striking him with her hand while at the casino. quick answer, how do you see this likely wrapping up? >> well, too many times these kind of things refuse to be wrapped up because she doesn't prosecute. ask a 6'4" how hard a linebacker hits, they shouldn't get away with that. >> judge alex, always great to see you. >> a pleasure. >> one in four victims has been a victim of abuse, in cases like this. up next, a person now charged with burning down a church, we'll show you why. plus, a woman with leukemia has a story, we'll show you why. >> now the costs are so high it is not affordable. if i do not receive my

the leader and then threaten violence unless the union members were hired. >> by repeatedly engaging in the crimes, the iron workers earned a reputation for violence with contract workers. for those who didn't fully appreciate that reputation, they used goon squads. >> squads that included torches and targeting places like a toys "r" us. now, the union president issued this statement saying we have never and will never tolerate any of the alleged acts contained in the accusation. the fbi believes there may be more victims coming forward and more suspects arrested. megyn? >> trace, thank you. now the story of a powerful new political ad being

challenged by the fact checkers. it tells the story of a michigan mother fighting leukemia. she lost the health insurance she liked because of obama care. and now she says the new plan is not affordable. >> and i received the letter, my insurance was cancelled because of obamacare. n now, the out of pocket costs are so high it is unaffordable. if i do not receive my medication i will die. i believed in the president. i believed i could keep my health insurance plan. i feel lied to. it is heartbreaking for me. >> the woman you just saw, julia boonstraw is with us tonight. we'll speak to her. we want to talk to a mechanic of the democratic national committee. we reached out to the target of that ad in michigan, neither he or anybody from his office would come on. we appreciate you coming on to offer your thoughts on it. so now, the "the washington

post" fact checker gave this two pinocchios, now, my question to you, is that ad effective? >> no, by the way, all of us can relate to what she has gone through. i've had members of my family who had anguish. she pointed out that under obamacare her premiums have been cut from $1100 a month to 57$57a month. >> now her out of pocket costs are unpredictable. >> this was pointed out under obamacare, when they gave this add two pinocchios, her out of pocket costs were capped at $350. >> she said before under her old

plan, which she could keep and she liked which didn't turn out to be true. she paid $1100 a month, even though she can pay $1100 a month she can get smacked with a bill of 3,000 a month. >> the most she can lay out of pocket is 360 bucks and it is all covered. i know what you're saying, megyn. >> i'm going to give you the floor, but what she says to that is i didn't like that. i wanted the certainty of knowing mypayment. i don't want to be told, oh, just come up with the three grand and if you get hit with the three grand the next month, she may not have that in the bank. >> megyn, the reality is under this plan, and the koch organization to their own discredit and deceit, doesn't mention in the ad, she keeps the same doctor she presently has and also she has an insurance plan under blue cross/blue shield that gives her the coverage she had previously. as far as the expenses go, the

point is everything after 356 bucks is totally covered. that is the critical point. >> that is the maximum out of pocket. >> everything is covered 100%, here is the point that really counts. this is why the ad doesn't work, the public can smell hypocrisy, and while the koch organization is talking about the misleading insurance, they're organizing campaigns across the country to block other people getting health coverage who have conditions like mrs. boonstra, they're doing lobbying and advertising campaigns. that is critical, that blocks working and indigent people from getting health care. thank you. >> thank you, joining us now the mother, julie, thank you for joining us. i know you're in the middle of chemotherapy, this is probably not what you feel like doing, but let me ask you to respond. hey, you have nothing to worry about because your out of pocket costs are capped at $360 a year.

>> i do have something to worry about, megyn. the $6,000 is a lot of money. it is money i don't have that i can't just have a service you know, have a test done and pay the doctors that $6,000. i just don't have it in the bank. to me, it is unaffordable. when i had a health care plan that i could budget for, and i had a stable amount it suited me better. i do not care for not knowing what my expenses will be month to month. >> what about your claim in the ad that you feel lied to? that you liked your plan and you believed the president when he said you could keep it? >> i did believe the president when he said i could keep it. when i received the letter stating that my plan was dissolving it was crushing to me. i was raised to respect the

president and you may not agree with their decisions but you still have a certain amount of respect. and receiving this letter, hearing him lie to me and to the rest of the american public has been crushing for me. and i can't honor the way that i was raised. >> you know, you heard robert and you know "the washington post" claiming the ads were misleading because i know you had to go on the exchange and had a terrible time on the website so you ended up buying through a broker. but you have got blue cross blue shield, you get to keep your doctor, you got an out of cap expense that you didn't have before. and so they argue you're better off. >> i am not better off. i found a plan based on my specialist. i credit my being here to my specialist. and to my chemotherapy and to god. and it was very important to me that i keep my doctor. so i found a plan that my doctor

accepted. as far as saving any money, i don't see that that is saving any money. i thought obamacare was supposed to help me. it is not helping me. >> the uncertainty of knowing when the next big bill is coming, in other words, will certainly make year one in the policy tough. >> it will make it extremely tough for me. i just simply do not have that money. >> julie, god bless you, i hope you do well, you look great. all the best to you. >> thank you. well, if you had a child that was sick, taken away and beyond your reach and you were told that you could not speak about it you could only see her once a week. and if you spoke about it to anybody you would go to jail, what would you do? up next, you will see what this man did. do not miss this interview. >> she is at her breaking point. and we can't stand by anymore and allow this to happen. in the new new york,

since. and then a year ago, the parents checked her into boston children's hospital. the doctors there said she has a psychological condition, and that her symptoms were all in her head. they accused the parents of medical abuse, the state stepped in and a judge awarded custody of justina to the state. lou pelletier joins me now. >> bottom line is my daughter's life is now at stake. this has been one year that she has been at boston children's hospital, she has been tortured physically and mentally. all of her medical situations have been totally ignored. medicine she was on, treatments that she has been dealing with.

she is at her breaking point. and we can't stand by anymore and allow this to happen. >> you, as i said in the introduction, brought her to boston childrens, she had the flu, take her there. she goes into the hospital. and i told the viewers what happened then. how long did it take just in terms of the timing? how long did it take for the state to step in and say you no longer have any decision-making authority with her? >> the world changed, she was there february tenth, february 13th, they came in and said you are no longer allowed to speak to any other doctors. there will be no more diagnosing going on, they just shut everybody out. >> how often does the state of massachusetts permit you to see your daughter? >> officially right now, one hour a week, friday afternoon at 1:00, and one 20-minute phone call tuesday mornings. >> are those supervised?

>> totally supervised. and limited as to our scope and conversation. >> they are treating you like you have been physically abusing your daughter. that seems to be how they're approaching this case, suggesting the surgeries you got for her were unnecessary. i presume, tell me you were told those things were necessary by the doctors at tufts. >> everything that was done to justina was medically approved, verified and insurance-approved. >> so you have a difference of opinion from the doctors at boston medical versus the doctors at tufts. when you were in the court case fighting for custody of your daughter, did the doctors at tufts say whoa, judge, this is real. this is not child abuse and don't give her to a set of doctors who don't believe she has this mitocondrial disease, because she does. >> the doctor that sent her there said point blank she has the mitochondrial disease, and

the doctor that went along with seeing her, said she has got this disorder. >> if she doesn't have the disorder, if the doctors at boston's children are correct, it is all in her head, then after a full year we would expect her i think to improve. when you see her, is she improving? do they still have to give you reports about her medical improvement? >> we're getting no reports. we haven't gotten them for months. but you just have to watch what you see in front of you. december 2012, she was figure skating, playing with her dogs, living the american dream. early february she just gets the flu, and when you have the mitochondrial disease, it just gets worse. her daughter a month earlier transferred her from boston to tufts, and then the nightmare

began. >> when you see her now, how is she? >> she is paralyzed below the hips, pretty much, they totally ignored most of the medications she should have been on. they have taken her away from what we call her vitamin cocktail that they give the mito patients. so she is just rotting. >> lou, i know there is a question about who is right and who is wrong and the judge clearly sided with the family services, but giving you the benefit of the doubt, how does this happen in the united states of america? >> you have a hospital that knows the system of how to use dcf to do their bidding. all they have to do as a mandated reporter, they can say anybody is not following their protocol. >> why would they want to? why would they want to mess with the family? >> i could give my guesses, medical research.

remember, they came up with this diagnosis within 12 hours of her arrival. >> the psychological disorder? >> correct, without speaking to the doctor that sent her there and without looking at the medical records. they just came up with the diagnosis. and they wanted us to sign on the bottom line to say she had this. this disease takes months and years to diagnose, but they don't look at it that way, they just looked at it and came up with a diagnosis. >> and your family has been living hell ever since. well, my interview with lou pelletier after this break. why he says his knees now buckle when he sees his daughter today. we asked people a question,

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. ♪

justi and now part two of my interview with justina pelletier's father, who is fighting to seek custody of his daughter who has been in state custody for two years. you unbelievably have been told not to talk about this case. where does a judge get off telling a parent you're going to lose custody of your child, over the objections of her old doctors and then you are not allowed to say anything about it? >> it boggles the mind, especially since this story was public with one of the largest newspapers in boston have been covering this since april. they have gone to the courts. they have gone todcf, to boston children's hospital so everybody knew about this case. it was not until november, officially november 17th when the local fox in connecticut aired it that the gag order came out because boston children's was up in arms. nothing was done prior to that.

>> are you worried about consequences to you in speaking out? >> i'm saving my daughter's life. i'm not worried about the consequences to me. >> we reached out to dfc. they say look, the court has instituted a gag order and we can't provide information on children in our custody. they say quote, boston children's is deeply concerned by misinformation surrounding this case, we are required to report cases of mistreatment, dcf is solely responsible for investigating the cases and deciding whether to go to court and seek temporary custody. they put it all on dcf. >> well, first of all they're being used as the foil for children's hospital, number one, everything done to justina is medically approved. tufts is one of the top facilities in the country.

she was being treated by the number one and number two mitochondrial doctors, and she has been fine, like i said, going to school, doing ice skating. in december, she was in three different ice skating shows. on january 23rd, her grandmother's 92nd birthday, she was skating. and a year later she is paralyzed below the hips. in pain 24 hours a day. every time i see her my knees buckle. i cry after. it is just tearing apart our family. there is no reason why somebody in this country couldn't stop this and say time out. no matter what you think boston children's may be right or wrong, and obviously you know where i stand. somebody should have said time out let's take an independent look at this. because this is out of this world. >> this is incredible. i know her older sister also has the same mitochondrial disease

and yet that was not persuasive? lou, we'll continue to follow this, and all the best. >> you, too. >> that family and struggle iin and we want to know what you think about their fight. you can send me a tweet @megyn kelly hash tag "the kelly file." and so far, twitter is going nuts on this. plus, coming up at the top of the hour, "hannity." and i guess they're going to try to rebuild the case based on a fairness doctrine. i work at a very good news room, the top radio station, they try to do a very good job. but there is no doubt that the fcc is breathing down their neck and hold their license in jeopardy they're going to do what the government wants.
