>> absolutely. they will compete in the london games in september. >> good for him and that's wonderful. >> he's coming back. we'll have to wait for his wedding. to >> thanks for joining us. america's nows headquarters starts right now. new concerns on obama care, the people who need it the most may not be signing up and that's the issue. >> happy friday to you, bill. i am allyson camerota. >> and i am bill hemmer. to now of the uninsured are not rolling and they don't collect numbers on these folks. john is joining us now. jaup, the white house said 4 million people enrolled and why don't they know how many of those are previously uninsured?

>> there is no gotted reason. the biggest initiative of his president so has no data. only 27 percent of the people signing up actually lacked health insurance before. it is a giant churn operation and you cancel the people's plans and force them in obama carr. throw- fourths of those people had health insurance. and less than one percent of the people signing up for obama care and u.s. population will gain access to insurance because of the obama care exchanges. >> john, wasn't this the predicate of why we needed obama care because of the 40 million uninsured. and they werousing the emergency rom as a primary care physician. how can they not collect data on these people? >> it doesn't make sense.

the point of the law was to insure the uninsured. they start out having a favorable vow of this law. and they had a favorable impression 2- 1 have an unfavorable vow of the law. and in the survey, it just costs to which. it is set up for the republicans to make an argument why did we cancel the plans of millions of americans and spend $2 trillion simply to insure less than one percent of theus population? president obama dismissed five percent who may have their plans cancelled and how will he pretend it is a great success and that we sign up 1 or 2 million people previously lacking insurance. >> there are more people who lost their insurance because of obama than who have gained insurance and didn't have it?

>> that's the exchange in the obama care exchanges. if you look at throw different pools, americans are saying that more have been hurt than helped by obama care. 23 percent of the americans are personally affected for the worse and ten percent say for the better. they are ugly numbers for the administration heading in the 2014 election. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> some new numbers on the economy showing the unemployment rate ticking higher to 6.7 percent. and that does not include the people giving up on trying to find work altogether. many of those positions were just part-time. and the so- called real unemployment rate, last month, 12.6 percent.

melissa francis live in the fox business network. how are you? >> good. >> they are hinging on the 6.7 number. what is significant about it? >> they are focused on the fixed number and that includes everyone out there looking for a job and has given up in the past year. the folks on the sideline and working part- time and need to work full- time. 12.6 percent. 20 million people in this country need more work than they have right now. it is bigger than the head line number of secs- seven and this is a bigger number and one that it everyone is focused on. >> i don't know what the economist are saying. but the politicians are saying we are right back in jimmy carter's day. >> you are talking about the

labor force participation rate. that is the number of people out there and consider themselves attached to the work force. that is only 64 percent of the americans and it has been under 64 percent for 26 straight months that is very low participation since 1979. we are back at 1979 levels in terms of people just giving up. >> it has been a theme for a while. >> yeah. >> and there are groups that are hit harder than others, i mean men, right. none in six men between the aims of 25- 54 are unemployed. you look at youth upunemployment. the unemployment rate there is 14 percent. and for african-americans, that is 12 percent. it is higher than the headline

number. you can hear the folks in the white house how it is 6.7 percent. but the other numbers tell a more complete picture. >> some are saying it could be perm innocent for some people or perm nept for millions of mefrns, do you buy that argument? >> i do. i am an economist by training and we are talking about structural unemployment and it is cycleal. and they are going over seas or they are replaced by robots and they are jobs that have gone away. there are two choices for the folks, retrained for fixing the robots and that is a lot more training and a different fold or sink down in service jobs and pay less and part- time. that is a lot of what we are seeing and that is tough.

>> what about those who make a case of a lost generation, do you buy that? >> i hope not. i really do fill concerned for older worker ares who look to being retrained and not sure if the job is there. and so they settle for a part- time job that pays a lot less and way below what they were doing before the current job is gone. for those folks, i don't know if there is a answer. and that is really tough. >> melissa, thank you, and we'll so you on fox business. >> you are still money. >> and we'll pick it back up. >> we will, i promise. >> so you, soon. >> the pentagon conif you remembering to fox news that russia is holding large scareaur defense drills as tensions over crimea keep rising. they are said to involve throw

thousand troops and the most serious confrontation between the russia and west since the cold war ended shoes no sign of easing up. president obama and vladimar putun spending an hour on the forces withdraw and putin rging refusing to back down. trevor smith is live in kiev. shep, what is the latest. >> reporter: instead of backing down the drills designed to send a message. you mention 3,000 troops and these are the largest defense drills of their kind sense the fall of the soviet union. and the bbc said a third russian ship is on the west of crimea. 140 miles from the naval base and the idea is to make the ports less accessible should the

thing escanalation. all of the reports are escalation and the russian minister said russia will not accept sanctions and threats that came from the west and specifically from the european union. if they are imposed, the russians will retailiate. and what he means is an open question and if we get a specific on that i don't know. they cut off the russians, did all television broadcast coming out of kiev to everyone in crimea and today, we have video to show. it the russians took over the only television station in crimea, 2 million people live there and access to information comes from russia and russia alone. and speaking of the russian parliment welcomed adeleigation from crimea in the russian parliment got a standing ovation in the video to prove it. they were over there to work out

how the merge of russia and crimea would happen and demonstrations, pro russian demonstrators on the streets yet again today. we will not know if they are all crimea or sent in from russia. and in fact one protestor against russia and pro ukraine and that demonstrator was dragged away and the photographers there for the agency got pictures of that. and up here in kiev in the center of the ukraine government there was an anti- russian protest. and mostly women there and that is a standard fair and it is happening daily. this anti- russian protest. and the crowds are small on that as people are mourning the dead here in keef cove. and the interim prime minister in ukraine came to the

microphone with a familiar re14. listen. >> i would like to reiterate we urge the russian to pull back and not separatist and start role talk with thes ucrepian government and accept it. >> no signs of that happening at all. secretary of state john kerry said it is his hope they will come death for a plan for the russians to withdraw. no evidence of that happening at all. and the matter of the paraolympics games in sochi, russia. president putin of russia is there and the ukranian paraolympics team decided to go ahead and compete. they were in a no win situation and politics could get in the way of the medal winning.

and if you win that gives a platform for putin. and the ukranian team did well in london and came in fourth place and faired better than the ukranian olympics team. and they want to get a win and be a thumb in the eye of vladimar putin. there is a lot going on and this crisis appears to be escalating. >> we remind everyone that sheppard is live from kiev and hosting his program at 3 o'clock p.m. thank you for the information. >> we have a lot of developments and if there are more we'll take you back to kiev. >> the president would hold those accountable for failure of obama care. another official stepping down. kids with specialney --

graham and others in the september and when senator graham went to the fbi, they came unwound and said that is absolutely not true and so it went back to mike morell and turns out that he was the one that made the changes and not the fbi. that came out in the senate intelligence committee, alisyn. >> you want to find out why he took out references to al-qaeda in the talking points that were dhifred by susan rice? >> not only that, that is correct, we want to find that out, but we want to find out also why there was not forced protection before hand when we knew it was 9/11 and a critical area of benghazi and why no force of protection there and why was there a cover up? >> you want john known bone to set up a committee and investigate this and it sounds

like you don't think he is pursuing the answers as aggressively like you would have him to. why hasn't he? >> that is an understatement. he's not going at it aggressively. we don't know. it could be that he wants to put the entire focus on obama care. or he was in covert operations to cover up the cover up. it was a sensitive operation and they can do. that we are not concerned about the covert operations. if the president signed off on it and eight members of congress were briefed on it, it is legal. we are concerned about not providing adequate protection and going to their rescue and cover up the facts. >> when you say covert operation, you i assume are referring to this operation that

arms were somehow funnels to the libyan rebels, is that right? >> absolutely. it was going through turkey, and i don't want to get into it in- depth. 500 million and a billion worth of arms funneled. ncould it been that is why there there is so much secrecy because it was a covert cia plan. could it be that simple? >> it could be that simple, but that is not our concern. our concern is, if it is an important covert operation, you should have had it properly covered and prepared on 9/11 twement 12 and air-borne caps out in the mediterranean and global hawks air-borne over benghazi as well as tripoli because we anyhow that was a hot spot and we did none of that.

let me show you what gary cohenwho resigned and not being fired what he said to congress about obama care. he said, in one of his testimonies. we have been hard at work to insure the marketplaces are easy to use when they become operational beginning on october 1st for the open enregularment period. that is one of the time he taughted how easy it would be. should he be fired or is that sim bollic and is it okay if he loves. nof course he should be fired. i am mystified why kathleen sebelius has her job. i will agree with julie in a second. but it is not irrelevant to look at the roll out. this is the party. they tell us that the federal government is a solution.

they took their biggest project and screwed it up badly. but, julie is right. what is more important how is the law working now. you saw the fox news poll. there is a poll out yesterday that is more damming. the nationwide survey for everyone one person that said obama care helped their family, two said obama care hurt their family. >> guy, not to interrupt you. that is serious head wind. how the law is now rolled out. those words are tough and that is tough word. >> the roll out is horrible. two things work in democrat's favor. the vast majority of people. old, don't want it repolled. they want it worked and improved and some want to keep it and expand it. 25 or 30 percent want it

repolled and the rest don't want that. and that helps the democrats and people don't think it is the number one issue facing the country. it is number four in the recent pole'lling that we have seen. if i was democrats i would keep my eye on the prize with jobs and the economy. >> happy birthday, guy. >> she's not singing. >> drink tea with honey. >> i am doing that, thanks. >> fox news alert. russia's foreign minister warning the united states against taking hafty and reckless steps that harm u.s. and russian relations. peter brooks a senior fellow of national security affairs. peter, good day to you.

>> helio. >> ralph peter told us that crimea is lost, do you agree? >> no. not at this point. it doesn't look good. my view is that the situation is fluid. there is a lot of things at play here and the obama administration which doesn't have a strategy and trying to give putin an offramp and an opportunity to back down gracefully. if he wants it, he would send in 30,000 troops. there is this is not over yet. it doesn't look good. and putten may be using crimea as a bargaining chip to get other things out of kiev. >> he wants greater protections for the ethnic russians and kiev obviously without saying it to look more to russia and protect russia's interest. crimea might be a bargaining

chip. it is fluid leak i said. and i hold the obama administration responsible. >> and in the world of diplomacy. putin and president obama spoke for an hour. 90 minutes on saturday. what's going on. >> a lot of it is translation. >> what is going on, frankly that lasts that long? >> it is not like the conversation we are having and not free flowing and their staffs work out their talking points and an opportunity to present it through a translator. >> an hour wfrgz're conversation may be a half had an hour. it is not negotiating at all and once again, they have to talk to theirs and tell the american people i am talking to vladimar putin and putin tells his people i am talking to the united states about this and we are

looking for a positive resolution. >> and you are saying that putin is negotiating now. are we getting something out of this. >> it depends on what we want. the president is calling for us to keep the sovereignty of the ukraine. that would be a positive. and we go back to the status quo before the situation unravelled and we don't have any violence. one of the things that it amazes me is the fact that we haven't seen violence on the part of the ukranians and russians. putin is looking for a provocation to send additional troops in. there and like i said. it is flute and i have to give hands off to the ukranian troops and people for not undertaking violence to give putin a very good reason for moving in ukranian cans. >> you think it could be wound down? that's what i hear you

describing to our viewers now. >> i don't have have a lot of faith in the obama administration to do. that they are trying to deescalate this. and only send a now aircraft in the region. and so what they are trying to do give them opportunity and sanctions haven't take know affect yet and europeans are not ratcheting the pressure and they are trying to let putin to push back and get to the negotiating tail. >> again, bill. the chips fell and the casinnos let him get too drunk and he is sowing to get half million bunks back.
