business because they were not concern about their health care situation. we met families who have seen their children suffer because of had the uncertainty of health care. we were committed to get this done. and that is what we have done. that is what kathleen sebelius did. we lost the first open enrollment period with the website problems. and they were problems. but under the leadership of kathleen sebelius, her team at hhs turned the corner, got it fixed, got the job done and the final score speaks for itself: there are 7 and a half million people across the country that have the security of health insurance and most of them for very first time and that is because of the woman standing
8:01 am
beside me. we are proud of that. that is a historic achievement. that is right. [ applause ] >> and by the way, in the mean time, alongside seven and a half million people being enrolled, health care cost are growing at th their slowest rate in 50 years. health records are moving from dog eared paper to high tech systems. kathleen sebelius partnered to pursue health care fraud and return billions, record sums, to
8:02 am
the medicare trust fund. so the work will benefit our families and this country for decades to come that she has done. we want to thank kathleen's husband, gary, the fist dude of dan kansas. and two outstanding sons who have been able to share their mom with us. and kathleen, i know your dad inspired you to pursue public service and passed away last year, would have been so proud of you. we want to thank you again, kathleen, for your service to our country. [ applause ] &% hey!
8:03 am
all right. now, we know there's still more work to do at hhs. there is more work to do to implement the affordable care act. there's another enrollment period coming up about six months from now. there is a whole array of responsibilities to meet over at this large and very important agency and i could choose no manager as experienced, as competent, as my current director of the office of management and budget, silvia matthews burwell. [applause]
8:04 am
silvia is from a small town, hinton, west virginia. she brings common sense you see in small towns. she brings values she brings challenges of caring for. she is proven manager, demonstrated ability to field great teams, forge strong relationships and deliver excellent results at the highest levels and she done it both in the public and private sectors. as coo and later president for global development for the gates foundation, syliva, worked on the cutting-edge of the world's most pressing health challenges. as head of walmart foundation and head of board of metlife, she gained first-hand experience of how insurance markets work and work better for businesses and families alike.
8:05 am
as my bending jet director of the white house she delivered results in years since she arrived, the deficit plunged more than $400 billion. i'm just saying. [laughter] that's happened during that time. [applause] when the government was shut down and most of her own team was barred from reporting for work, syliva was a rock, a. she put an end to the these manufactured crises we had seen here in washington so we could keep our full focus on growing the economy and creating new jobs and expand opportunity for everybody seeking opportunity. all the while she helped advance important initiatives to bring the government into the 21st century including her efforts to
8:06 am
speed up job creation by dramatically speeding up the permitting process for big infrastructure projects. so sylvia is a proven manager and she knows how to deliver results and she'll need to be a proven manager because these are tough tasks, big challenges. from covering more families with economic security, that health insurance provides to insuring the safety of our food and drug supply to protecting the country from outbreak or bioterror attacks, to keeping america at the forefront of job-creating medical research. all of us rely on the dedicated servants and scientists, the researchers, at hhs and the fda. and cdc. and n-ih. all of them are an extraordinary team and, sometimes the american people take for granted the incredible network of outstanding public servants that
8:07 am
we have who are helping to keep us healthy and help improve our lives every single day. so i want to thank steven, sylvia's husband and matthew, and helene, for sharing wife and mom with us a little bit longer. we'll miss seeing you around the white house but i know that you're going to do an outstanding job as america's secretary of health and human services. i hope that the senate confirms sylvia without delay. she is going to do great. last time she was confirmed unanimously. i'm assuming, not that much has changed since that time. with that i want to give them both an opportunity to say a few words, starting with kathleen. [applause] >> thank you. well, i want to start by
8:08 am
thanking you, mr. president and mr. vice president, for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to serve in this cabinet. i want to thank my hhs family, many of whom are here, at least the health leaders are here, for their incredible work and my personal family represented today by our older son ned and my wonderful daughter-in-law lisa, my husband gary is on the bench in kansas today doing multiple hearings which he does each and every day. our younger son is in ecuador but they're with us in spirit. the president has already made this case but i want to remake it. hhs is an amazing department. it is full of bright and talented and hard-working people who believe strongly in our important mission, providing health care and essential human services to all americans. now inscribed on the walls of the humphrey building where your
8:09 am
office will be are the words of the namesake. and what hubert humphrey said is the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of lie, the children, those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly, and those who are in the shadow of life. and that really i think describes what we do at hhs. from our work on birth to kindergarten initiatives, to providing for the elderly and disabled, our employees help their friend and neighbors every day. the researchers in nih labs and scientists working to improve new drugs and devices are helping change the face of humanity, by advancing new cures, research, and innovation. we're advancing public health in the u.s. and around the globe with anti-smoking efforts and promoting maternal and child health. finally, behavioral health and physical health issues will be considered both part of
8:10 am
essential treatment, and that's a big step forward. our workers, as the president said, look out for a safe and secure food and drug supply in a global market, and our smart diplomacy, sharing health expertise and advances, win the hearts and mind of nations across the globe. we have done transformational work in tribal communities across this country that will never be the same again. so at any point in our history, that mission would be highly rewarding and some of the most important work anybody could do but i've had an additional amazing opportunity. no one has ever had this before. i got to be a leader of hhs doing, during these most historic times. we are on the front lines of a long, overdue national change, fixing a broken health system. now this is the most meaningful work i've ever been a part of.
8:11 am
in fact, it has been the cause of my life. and i knew it wouldn't be easy. there's a reason that no earlier president was successful in passing health reform, despite decades of attempts. but throughout the legislative battles, the supreme court challenge, a contentious re-election and years of votes to turn back the clock we have making progress, tremendous progress. and critics and supporters alike are benefiting from this law. my professional work as a legislator and insurance commissioner and a governor have been tremendously helpful in navigating the policy and politics of this historic change. but at the end of the day health is personal. it's personal to all of us. family illnesses and personal health challenges touch us to our core. i've spent time as a daughter navigating care for ill parents. as a mother and now a
8:12 am
grandmother, i've experienced and worried about prenatal care and healthy babies. we've had family health challenges as all of us have and finding the right care can be difficult, even when the best contacts and the right resources. so the personal reward for me at the end of the day are the folks who approach me, the strangers who approach me, at a meeting or pass me a note on a plane or hand me a phone with someone on the other end saying, thank you. their stories are so heartening about finally feeling secure and knowing they can take care of themselves and their families. unfortunately, a page is missing. so i'm just grateful for having had this wonderful opportunity. the president was in austin yesterday at the lbj library commemorating 50 years in the civil rights efforts led by
8:13 am
lyndon johnson. and 50 years ago my father was part of that historic congress. he served in the congress with the passage of medicare and medicaid, with head start and those programs are now in the agency i've had the honor to lead. it seems like a wonderful passing of the baton and the affordable care act is the most significant social change in this country in that 50-year period of time. so i am so grateful to have had this opportunity. i appreciate all of the effort and. i thank my cabinet colleagues who are here on the front row. not only are they here today on the front row, but they have been part of a all hands on deck effort making sure that seven 1/2 million people were able to sign up for affordable health care. thank you, mr. president, and what i know is that sylvia, in the year i've had the opportunity to work with her, a trusted and valued friend, a
8:14 am
great partner. she will be a terrific leader for hhs. so i will turn it over to cynthia. [applause] -- sylvia. >> first i'd like to thank you, mr. president and mr. vice president, for the trust you placed placed in me ay role in omb and your confidence in nominating me for this new role of second, as we all honor kathleen's accomplishments here today, i also want to personally thank her for her support and friendship through this year. i want to express my heartfelt thanks to the team at the office of management and budget and to our congressional counterparts with whom i've had the privilege to work closely throughout this year.
8:15 am
omb is an extraordinary institution. it's a credit to the professionalism and commitment of omb's people, that we've been able to meaningfully improve our nation's fiscal policy and government management over the past year. i also want to thank my family, especially my husband, steven. it's their support that allows me to serve. i'm humbled, honored, and excited by the opportunity to build on the achievements that kathleen, the president and so many others have put in place. if confirmed by the senate, i look forward to carrying on the important work of insuring that children, families, and seniors have the building blocks of healthy and productive lives. whether it is through implementing the affordable care act, supporting the affordable child care, or finding new frontiers to prevent and treat disease. thank you, mr. president.
8:16 am
[applause] >> give these extraordinary women one more big round of applause. thank you, kathleen, for your service. thank you, sylvia, for your great work. [applause] [inaudible] jenna: well the president with a rousing defense of his outgoing health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius who called her job a lifetime opportunity and a strong introduction for his nominee for that same position, if approved by the senate, sylvia matthews burwell. you could tell by the tone of the reception at the white house, certainly an effort to give a lot of appreciation to kathleen sebelius but there is some questions as well about who takes over this position and what happens to the affordable care act going forward. michael warren, staff writer at
8:17 am
"the weekly standard." ed o'keefe, a congressional reporter for the washington post. nice to have you both on a big day and quite frankly a little unexpected, ed. here we had yesterday during the big news on our show was kathleen sebelius saying in front of a senate committee, hey, we have seven 1/2 million enrollees. why now did she step down? what do you make of the timing? >> well if you think about it they hit deadlines and enrollment period is over, so really chapter 1 and maybe chapter one and chapter two of the affordable care act is now over. it will take a new manager and new face to get it into year two and deal with all the other challenges coming into the fall. it is no secret while she may have fans in the white house and among some congressional democrats that sebelius has become a bit of a lightning rod. she said herself privately that she knows that networks like this one and others made her a household name in some respects. she understood in order to make sure this law could continue on
8:18 am
into its first full year and it will need a new face. in sylvia burwell, she has great acclaim on capitol hill and bipartisan support as budget chief and other previous positions before that. she will only need 51 votes in the senate which democrats have. democrats changed the rule on executive branch confirmations last fall. even if she gets beat up in a confirmation hearing which will probably happen, she will likely eventually be confirmed pretty easily. jenna: michael what are your thoughts on that? >> well absolutely but i think it is important to look at silvia burwell, where is she coming from to tell you where the white housesying this for the next couple months and years with obamacare. she was not outside the federal government. not outside the white house. see is from the largest office in the white house, the office of management and budget. what it shows the white house is maybe not so confident that the law can stand on its own without somebody from the deep within the administration, sort of
8:19 am
overseeing it all. i think it is also important to note that part of sebelius's problem as ed mentioned, she wasn't exactly working as a face for obamacare and this maybe new phase. she was also coming to i think loggerheads with some folks in the white house of the so i think this move sort of shows barack obama's white house may be taking a little bit of an assertive stand here and taking over the next phase of the implementation of obamacare. jenna: ed, the president called burwell, new manager experienced or confident as her. interesting to note that your newspaper say she does not have an extensive background in health care policy. in fact we looked at it. the most recent secretary of health and human services that had any sort of medical degree was during the first bush administration. it is interesting to see sebelius and burwell talk a lot about care but what do you think it says about the priorities being that we don't really have someone with great expertise on health care policy or care taking the position as head of this massive department? >> well, i think the argument
8:20 am
that people on capitol hill and white house would make is that this whole law need as good manager and in that respect she certainly has the management experience and that she's worked at the budget office and has been regarded by both parties as a preet effective manager. she had run a large foundation for walmart. she worked with the gates foundation as well and has management experience there. you know, not every defense secretary necessarily has military experience. not every treasury secretary has practical banking experience necessarily. would it be helpful to one day find a doctor with great management experience to run hhs? i'm sure absolutely, any president would want that but i think the big problem facing this law right now as we documented so well over last few years is general management concerns. getting trains to run on time. and it appears the president thinks this is someone who can do that. jenna: michael to, ed's point, sheer she was approved, burwell to one a fourth of the economy in her current position and if
8:21 am
approved to take the next position she will run a sixth of the economy. is this about financials and does that mean she will be approved because we have our priorities straight because it is about the bottom line? i have only 30 seconds here. >> hard to say what the priority is from the white house. i do want to point out while she was confirmed unanimously for the omb job i think you will see senate republican as real fight in these confirm a nation hearings not necessarily sylvia burwell but obamacare. that is tough vote for mark pryor or mary landrieu, kay hagen, democrats up for re-election to sort of vote for a nominee directly from the white house, to head up the department of that is running obamacare. that will be a tough vote in an election year. jenna: we'll see what they do. they're on a two-week recess. >> that's right. jenna: a little bit of a break until we see when the hearings will be scheduled and what happens next. mike, ed, great to have your perspective. thanks so much. >> thank you, jenna. >> jenna will examine more in
8:22 am
the coming hour. coming up did you hear about the rioting on college campuses. from connecticut and kentucky, psychiatrist is here to explain why chaos is more come on campus ? and more could you teach our kids that trick?

eric: tensions are running high at the oscar pistorius murder trial with "the blade runner" ending his first week of testimony. the olympian was grilled by prosecutors who are trying to of course poke holes in his story. today the prosecutor said the story that he shot reeva, that she talked to him from behind that locked bathroom door. then he asked why pistorius so sure he had an intruder in
8:26 am
8:27 am
. accused oscar pistorius in some word of murder. nel, he just went at it. nel said pistorius's version is not true, untruth, not correct, improbable. at one point pistorius didn't answer a question at all. he led back in silence, 30 seconds looked at sealing with his cheeks flushed. at another point pistorius broke down and look, just rushed over, eric. eric: paul, what is the media today, what is the feeling after this first week now wrapped up of this graphic testimony? >> well, the media, public seems to be the reacting, details are sketchy but appears somebody made a complaint to the human rights commission about jerry nnel's testimony gone too far. some say it is normal for lawyer, a legal expert says it is completely normal.
8:28 am
one website controller said their hits have gone through the roof and that, another of those said, this is interesting, i think you will agree, that the number ofe who are involved in social networks is still way below the number that were on, that were trending over the the death of nelson mandela, eric. eric: thank you. tom, let me go to you. seems like a searing cross-examination, how does he get get out of if he can? >> fascinating to watch, particularly as an american trial lawyer. i can't speak necessarily to the norms of south africa, but in other words, in the american system of prosecutor would never get away with this type of cross-examination. it is way too accuse tore real. we have more of an is tore he'll system. you get a defendant on a stand, doesn't happen all the time in criminal case. majority of the criminal cases it doesn't happen. you can being a gross sieve but can't get up and accuse him after murderer.
8:29 am
eric: the defense attorney in the america would say i object and the judge would sustain the objection? >> sure. >> so much would not happen in america. acting out of scene. oscar pistorius removing his legs. none of that would go in america. at some point today she said to nel the prosecutor, enough is enough. you can't call him a liar and you have to wait and listen to the answer. she did finally after three days of cross-examination tamper it down. eric: so dramatic. you have the door with the bullet holes right there, three feet away from him. really incredible. how does he get out of this if it is possible at all, because his story with her cowering in the bathroom and thinking there was intruder and apparently blasting through that door? >> he doesn't get out of it. a good jurist, remember this case is not being tried to a jury. it is being tried to a professional jurist who will see through all this i think a jury would see through it too. a good jury would tell you can tell guilty person they deny
8:30 am
what they can't admit and ad bit what they can't deny. he can't deny he shot her. the bullets came from his gun in his home with his fingerprints on it. one thing, the only thing he can deny this element of intent. the problem is it doesn't pass the common sense test. >> i disagree. i don't they have the prosecution has met their burden. they have the burden to prove he acted with intent. we all know he shot her. the question is why. was it with intent or self-defense? i think something in the middle. i think it was probably negligence. but i don't think there is any aspect of premeditation that prosecution proven. eric: the judge would have to buy he jumped from the bed, dealing with his legs and blasting through the doorway, thinks there is intruder inside the door and, the bed is empty. she is not there. >> that is the common sense element n american courtroom, how do you ever know what anybody intends? you can infer their intent by their actions. i think the most significant piece of evidence in this case other than that dead body is that door because that is indicative of a crime of
8:31 am
violence, him chasing her, dashing in the door with the cricket bat. >> evidence room hear during the course of the trial and those details. i think the defense will put on a good case. eric: tom and paulla. thank you. >> thank you. jenna: she became the face of the failed rollout of obamacare. one day after kathleen sebelius announces her resignation the president nominates her replacement. what can we expect? we'll get more into that. big news of the day. imagine rolling blackouts across the united states. new revelations about a threat to our nation's power supply. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable.

eric: woman at the center of the obamacare implementation stepping down. health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius. we know she has been tied to the new health care law from the very beginning but the botched rollout six months ago and delays since to the white house's so-called victory lap every week and thanked pretty much everybody but did not mention her name. how has the mainstream media coverage of the secretary's leaving and role in implementation from then to now? judith miller, pulitzer-prize-winning reporter and fox news contributor and kirsten powers, columnist for "usa today" and fox news contributor. good to see you. who quits, when you supposedly win? george washington, abraham lincoln didn't. douglas macarthur. what do you think happened here? >> well, eric, i think the conservative media is ask what
8:36 am
took them so long and liberal media, that supports the affordable care act says, why are you doing this now? it is like, as rachel maddow said, it is like a runner who is in the middle of at victory lap, stopping to fire the coach. look, this is clearly something the president was contemplating for some time. whatever her many, many qualities and, she was extremely well-regarded, also regarded as a champion for contraception being covered by obamacare, she was not a manager, as the rollout revealed. and we've got a lot of challenges coming up with this next phase of the obamacare program. you've got to make sure that people pay their premiums. you've got to make sure premiums don't soar through the roof. and he wanted a consummate manager, hence the shift to miss burwell. eric: kirsten just mentioned rachel maddow, what they have
8:37 am
done switch the story from supposed win to firing people. >> well, that might be a fair pr criticism. i think that, by having sebelius leave now it does sort of step on the story of the 7 1/2 million people who signed up, but you also could argue that now would be the perfect time to, you know, leave on a high note and be able to say, we at least have 7 1/2 million people signed up. so i think that could cut both ways. i think a lot of people who are supporters of the administration, people like rachel maddow, probably don't want kathleen sebelius to go because they don't buy into the idea this has been a debacle, because now there are seven 1/2 million people signed up. of course there are sill issues with obamacare and, it doesn't take away from the fact that even "the new york times" described in talking about kathleen sebelius stepping down, you know, the disasterous rollout of obamacare. eric: now we're going to have,
8:38 am
what, two weeks while the senate is in recess before the hearings start. judy, let me read something in "investor's business daily," a newspaper. kathleen sebelius exit gives obama a fresh page to mess up. he didn't know about it several days. seriously. are the white house tvs broken? once again the president claimed ignorance of i am pend trouble like irs, fbi, fast and furious and benghazi scandal. the media let them skate on that, and obama's relief at sebelius's departed ture and fresh face may be short-lived. what happens in the media as we go forward next two weeks? >> i think media will continue to scrutinize this program and we should. this a major ambitious venture. this is the obama's administration landmark legacy accomplishment. it behooves us to stay with the story. sebelius is gone. the administration will be able to point a finger and say it's
8:39 am
your fault but i think investor daily was right. it raises questions about the commander-in-chief. did know? what did know? she said at least, told friend and aids that she had told him about the problems. so the story continues. and i think it's the role of the press to hold the president and his administration accountable for how that goes. eric: kirsten, does the change in those at the top, does that really affect the way the media will handle this? >> i don't think at this point. i think if the president had made a decision when everything had gone wrong in the beginning and it was quite clear the process had not been managed properly, if he made the decision to fire her at that point, of course let's remember, she hasn't actually been fired. she resigned. we don't know how under how much pressure. if he fired her at that point i think it would have at least made it look like the buck stops here. he will not tolerate this and hold people accountable. now looks like he is praising somebody who is he claiming was a wonderful hhs secretary when
8:40 am
she actually bungled the most fundamental, important, thing that the president has done since he came into office which is, the affordable care act. eric: having burrell, who is the head of the omb, finally kirsten, does that put a management patina as they go forward on this. >> look, sylvia matthews is a very highly-respected person and i think she is very competent. so, you know, i would hope that she will just be confirmed without too much trouble and, i'm sure she will do a good job. eric: judith, the confirmation hearings will be obamacare on trial. >> yes it is. but if anyone can handle it is sylvia matthews burwell. she's a pro. whether or not miss sebelius was fired, she said even two weeks ago she intended to stay until november. so, clearly something happened. i think we know what the story is there. eric: if they say it or not. thank you, kirsten and judith. good to see you. >> thank you. jenna: some other news to get to

like this and americans a poor reflection of the school, ship them out. call the parents. make them pay for the property damage that they're inflicting on other people. i guaranty you the parents will be quick to respond if it comes out of their pocketbooks. jenna: what do you think about that, chuck? this is sliding scale. this is what we're seeing now what will next year look like? >> i agree. in iowa there was a correct response when they canceled it, even leading up to it or the middle of it things got out of control. the president along with the cabinet said we'll cancel it. i'm an old man now, i'm 40 so what do i know. back in the today. >> when back in the day i could do a keg stand i thought sometimes things get out of hand. we think kids will be kids. some behavior is dangerous. you know what i'm going to say, jenna. you have to impose boundaries and limits onioning people because they're not able to rein in their behavior. they're not so good with impulse control. they want to be a part of something that will be epic!
8:48 am
hundreds of kids, turning over cars and drinking. >> we have pictures, right? by the way, dr. chuck, you're lucky we didn't have social media and twitter, speaking of your previous experiences. these kids do, jedediah. one wonders how that is playing in. >> seems troublemakers, it is expanding. when i was younger it was a small group of troublemakers involved in these things. now it is growing. it is much more kids and kids are getting much younger involved with this used to be just college kid. we're looking at examples of college kids. i assure u, high schoolkids, 13, 14, 15-year-olds i was high school academic dean. they were engaged in same behavior. social media should make it scarier for these kids but it is not. >> i agree. >> once you take photograph that can affect your career an opportunities down the road but it is not registering. jenna: so interesting that you said that, jedediah, dr. chuck, i want your opinion on this as well, because the reaction oh, mime famous now or look at hot picture of me with the flames in
8:49 am
the background. but there is not really opposite feeling of what am i going to do when i have to get a job and this still on the internet somewhere, the fear of that is not really there. why not? >> because, jenna, when you have justin bieber doing what he does routinely, people twerking, and that leads to tens of thousands, hundred of thousands followers, miley cyrus, when people can become famous or infamous how many followers on twitter, how many clicks, how can you get a kid, bound from wanting that kind of attention, that kind of know right? i mean, you have to -- noteriety. the parent, like she mentioned, parents have to say, you know what? i don't want this to happen. i don't want you to not be able to go to competitive high school or college. these things last forever. so be careful about it. jenna: seems simple enough. you wonder. we cover ad lost ground here, guys. we got twerking in. i wasn't even expecting that. jedediah, dr. chuck, an interesting conversation.

9:01 am
sebelius, she was giving a speech and passionately making the case for the many people being helped by this health care reform law when she all of a sudden said, unfortunately, we're missing a page here. that might be symbolic of the early months of this rollout with kathleen sebelius becoming a symbol of. i think what the event in the rose garden was was a chance by the president to try and turn the page on those miscues and say, look, because of the seven million plus sign-ups for the first enrollment period, this is now a success. listen to the president. >> she's got bumps, i've got bumps, bruises. yes, we lost the first quarter of open enrollment period with the problems with healthcare.gov, and they were problems. but under kathleen's leadership, her team at hhs turned the corner, got it fixed, got the job done, and the final score
9:02 am
speaks for itself. >> reporter: now, republicans immediately taking issue with that phrase, "final score," saying that this law is still a long way from being fully implemented and that while it might have turned the corner from the early stages, there's going to be a lot of battles ahead over this law. jenna: and, certainly, we'll see those debates start over the next several hours -- >> reporter: immediately. jenna: almost right now. interesting to note that kathleen sebelius will stay on the job until sylvia burwell is confirmed, so what kind of timeline should we expect on that? >> reporter: oh, we expect a transition period where sebelius will stick around and make sure that sylvia matthews burwell gets confirmed, and we anticipate that, you know, she was confirmed, as the president said, unanimously for the office of management and budge, but this is a much different job, and you can bet republicans are going to have a lot of questions. they're going to press the administration for more details about this law. here's republican mike lee.
9:03 am
>> this, ultimately, isn't about the person, it's about the policy. and secretary sebelius was in charge of implementing a very unpopular policy. and her departure signals the end of a very tumultuous era for the obama administration. >> reporter: but republicans like mike lee, mitch mcconnell putting out a statement suggesting that this confirmation hearing to come for matthews will be a chance to dig in on a lot of specifics such as how many of those seven million plus sign-ups have actually paid their premiums and actually have insurance, information the administration has not turned over. in these confirmation hearings, depalins -- republicans hope they'll have leverage to dig in on that. jenna: and it's not like there's any elections coming up. >> reporter: pretty big thing in november, so turning the page might not be so easy. jenna: ed, great to see you as always. thank you. eric: joining us for more reaction is the senior politics
9:04 am
reporter for "u.s. news & world report". david, based on senator lee's comments and others, it sounds like the confirmation hearings will be obamacare on trial. >> yeah. i think there's no doubt about that. look, i don't actually think kathleen sebelius had to go now. if she was going to leave at any point, you'd think she would have left in the fall when they had the rollout problems. i think she wanted to get across the finish line, got to the 7.5 million number and said, you know, now i'm out of here. but of course the republicans are going to use these confirmation hearings. i think they' know, president obama's going to get his next hhs secretary, but i think not without a lot of painstaking questions about how many people are actually paying the premiums of the sign-ups, what's next for obamacare. and i think the republicans are going to use it to relitigate a lot of the problems and to try to get more answers. so i don't think these are going to be easy confirmation hearings at all. but i think, ultimately,
9:05 am
ms. burwell will be confirmed. eric: some may say it's to ask the questions that are still outstanding. look, we've got the warnings, premiums are going to go up this fall, not enough young people are signed up, hospitals not accepting obamacare, and as you mentioned, questions over the actual number of uninsured who have signed up. kaiser said, what, 27%? we heard the president say "most." the president today said in his remarks of the 7.5 million, most are now insured, is that even true? >> well, look, that's something ms. burwell's going to have to answer, and i can't imagine that president obama hasn't sat down with her and said, look, these are the answers that you're going to have to provide in order to make this a lot smoother than what we went through with sebelius. but, look, ms. burwell duds have a little better -- does have a little better reputation than sebelius did. her confirmation for omb went a lot smoother. senator john mccain, who came
9:06 am
out last night with a tweet calling her an excellent choice which i thought was quite striking to come right out of the box with that. representative paul ryan has lauded her in the past. -- eric: but she can't change the facts, i'm sorry for interrupting, she can't change the facts, although she does put a new face and a style that's being praised. >> right. the face of obamacare can may have been kathleen sebelius, but for americans the face of obamacare's going to remain president obama. so i don't think, i mean, this is a personnel switch inside the beltway that's going to get a lot of traction, but you're right, when you talk about, you know, people and their premiums, whether they're going to be able to keep their doctor, whether these people that are signing up were uninsured before and whether they're paying tear premiums, i think -- their premiums, that's the statistics republicans are going to be looking for, those are the details that are really going to determine whether the democrats
9:07 am
can get out of this rut that is obamacare. eric: and finally, do you think, obviously, one would think the white house hoping this new face on obamacare and on this whole program will instill confidence by the american people. do you think that will happen, or is the end of day we all have with our insurance -- >> you know, it's hard for me to think that a new face is going to matter that much. again, i think that's more of a washington story. i think for americans it's going to be does their premium go up, can they choose to see the doctor that they want, did they lose the doctor that they were using if and, look, obamacare's been -- public opinion around obamacare has been really hard, and it's going to be really difficult to change that going forward. eric: that does not change with a new name on the door over at the health and human services department. david, thanks so much for joining us. jenna: right now, major developments in ukraine as nato releases new satellite images today that they say prove be
9:08 am
russia's buildup of forces is actually happening. this as russia threatens europe with natural gas cuts over the stand off. greg talcott joins us from london. >> reporter: a capable force ready to to go, that is how nato is describing russian troops massed along its borders with ukraine. to prove a point, nato has been releasing the last couple days satellite imagery showing a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, infantry and special forces, 35-40,000 troops poised as close as 25 miles to the ukrainian border. russia says this is just, these troops and hardware are just an exercise, and they also say, in fact, these pictures are from another year. we spoke to nato officials today, they are denying this. they're saying they are fresh pictures, there are no suggestions of pullback and, in fact, a quote from an official,
9:09 am
we want to push back against russian propaganda. meanwhile, inside eastern ukraine the standoff between pro-russia separatists and authorities continues. activists are demanding referendums on autonomy, even joining up with russia. this is widely seen as a probable pretext for russia to move in, this activity any way. talks do continue. the threatened use of force by ukraine has not materialized, so that is a continuing situation. finally, the gas wars continue. russia threatening this week to cut off natural gas supplies to europe which are carried in pipelines through ukraine. europe depends a great deal on russia for those gas supplies, and russia has already been threatening ukraine itself to cut off the supplies as well if the payments are not made. they're charging higher price, they want back payments as well.
9:10 am
jenna, one way or another moscow very much trying to strike out against the transitional government in ukraine it sees as pro-western. back to you. jenna: and so it continues, greg, thank you. a little context on how we got to this point. november 21st, the ukrainian government suspends a treaty with the e.u. triggering protests in kiev. february 22nd, ukraine's parliament votes to remove president viktor yanukovych and then releases the former prime minister from prison. yanukovych then leaves kiev for russia. february 27th, pro-russian gunmen seize buildings in the crimean capital. february 28th, president obama warns russia. march 6th, crimeans vote to join russia. march 21st, president putin signs legislation absorbing crimea into the russian federation.
9:11 am
and april 6th pro-russian protesters storm government buildings in several major skies in eastern ukraine, and we're getting those nato satellite images, apparently, of russian combat forces and a big question of what's next. eric: certainly not over. a lot of worries and concerns. coming up here on the fox news channel, the driver accused of causing that heartbreaking and deadly hit and run crash at a daycare center. he appeared before a judge earlier today, we will have the breaking details on the shocking case next. plus, phil keating is live at the kennedy space center this florida following nasa's next big move. hey, phil, what is it? >> reporter: hi, eric. after being out of the space spotlight for the past few years, nasa has an enormous test flight coming up later this year. after the break, we'll give you the closest look yet of the brand new orion deep spacecraft. before larry instantly transferred money from his

9:16 am
pieces are quickly coming together for nasa's big return to space later this year. instead of september, it's now looking more like november or december, but that famous countdown clock and launch pad 39p will once again -- 39b will once again operational. nasa gave us the closest look yet at the brand new orion deep spacecraft of the future. 60,000 parts, 20 miles of wire, and next week engineers will shake it violently to simulate a launch. testing continues on the engine core, and once it ignites in november or december for nasa's crucial test flight, it will carry the new and largest rocket in the world out of this world. after being out of the spotlight for a few years, the excitement across nasa is surging. >> exploring space is something that great nations do. it's a leadership thing. we've always led this space. we led in the space station. we have a lot of partners, but we said, you know, come with us, we're going to do something
9:17 am
really, really cool, and tsa exactly what this is about. >> reporter: johnson space center in houston, mission control also has been upgraded. that's the brand new higgs control for the future orion missions. eric: we have had such a history in this country of space flight, how far out will orion go? >> reporter: oh, it's going to go further than think man-rated spacecraft has gone from the united states in the past 40 years. that takes us back to the last mission to the moon. to to rye develop's going to -- the to rye on's going to go 3,000 mile, two orbits around the earth and then reentering the atmosphere at 20,000 miles an our. with this nasa feels america is really ready to lead the world again. >> for me it's all a about establishing a human presence in the solar system. it's leaving planet earth. it's having the capability to go beyond. and that's what we're doing. we are developing that
9:18 am
capability to actually leave earth and stay for extended periods of time beyond our home planet. >> reporter: if all goes well, the first planned manned mission or female astronauts would be in about 2022 and then eventually to mars. eric? eric: wow. phil keating at a very windy kennedy space center. thanks, phil. jenna: well, lots of jitters on wall street, we're starting to hear murmurs of a market correction, and when people bring that up, you need to pay attention. we have a great panel coming up. also, hold your horses. secretary of defense chuck hagel getting quite a surprise gift during his trip to asia. we'll explain next. ♪ ♪ i want to be a cowboy and you can be my cowgirl. ♪ i want to be a cowboy, and you can be my cowgirl ♪ ♪ i know a thing about an ira

9:23 am
some disappointing news from jpmorgan chase. there's a lot of questions about what's going on with these big banks, and yesterday's drop in the nasdaq was the worst we've seen in two and a half years which has some traders wondering whether this is the start of a market correction. mike santoli joins us and health saw francis -- melissa francis. let's start with the term correction, because you hear it, and you know it's not good, but why i? >> no, i mean, it definitely feels like there has been a loss in basic confidence. we saw pretty big declines last week. we got what we are calling a fed cat bounce after the fed said they were going to keep printing money, the market was buoyed for a day or so. but now we go back to this sensation it's a loss of momentum, and a lot of the technology stocks, biotech, ipos that had felt like high fliers that didn't necessarily have the fundamentals behind them, that's where we're seeing the most bleeding, and that's what's making you feel like maybe this is the start of
9:24 am
something bigger. jenna: and, mike, that is the question, isn't it? is this something on emotion, driven by momentum on emotion, or are there some big, fundamental shifts that we should be watching? what do you think is the? >> this initial phase really does seem like a lot of stocks that got way ahead of themselves, you know, the reason they call it a correction is because it seems like the trend went too steep, things went too far, too fast. so that's the start of it as melissa mentioned in the big technology growth stocks, the poi tech stocks. that's -- biotech stockings. now, whether it spreads to be a more general, severe decline, it's difficult to tell. in the last 18 months, every time we had one of these sudden pullbacks, we got to about 2, 3, 4, 5%, and then it halted before we got a sign we had flushed out the excesses. we did see it start to spread out, the selling, yesterday into some of the papping stocks. jp mayor -- bank stocks.
9:25 am
jpmorgan. but bottom line, it's not very important or dramatic about the state of the economy as it is the position of investors after they came into the year after a very strong 2013. jenna: if it's not about the broad orer economy, melissa, we've all been sort of lulled into seeing the market at record highs. you sort of sit back and say, okay. what are you going to be watching for over the next few days, and what should our viewers be watching for? >> i think that brings up a really good point. there were a lot of people who didn't think this runup was based on a stronger economy, that it was about the fed and the money printing. so in a way, we didn't really deserve to be where we were based on the economic fundamentals. so one of the problems you guys just mentioned may be a reason we see a decline. you know, right now the market looks relatively stable on the day, but i have to say my show's on fox business from 2-3 p.m., we've been seeing a lot of the steep selloff, and we are poised and ready for that today because it's into the close that we're seeing a lot of the confidence go away. and that in and of itself is
9:26 am
very telling about sentiments. you want to keep an eye on it here for the rest of the cay. jenna: that's true and the rest of day. on the economy now, one of the things we've talked about on this program is some of the higher prices we've seen on food, for example, that drought out in california doesn't look good, but i've also seen mentions about inflation in general, and that's something that really hits our viewers directly. what does that look like right now? >> it's really right thousand most noticeable in ice -- now most noticeable in isolated areas. food will probably get more expensive faster this year than everything else in the consumer price basket that people measure. so i do think that's definitely a concern. i don't think it's yet registering as a broader concern for the overall economy in terms of whether interest rates shoot higher or whether, in fact, it could sort of stall out what we have of a recovery. honestly, i think the bigger issue is what the -- with the first quarter kind of stall and
9:27 am
kind of soft period in the housing recovery, is that something we have to worry more about, or was that weather-related? those are things i think the market's contending with, not so much a general increase in inflation. jenna: that's a long-term concern. in the short term, we're all going to watch melissa on fox business -- >> thank you. i appreciate that. jenna: don't forget the fox business network has all of the coverage an owl of what's -- all of what's happening with the markets. definitely check out foxbusiness.com. eric: and if you don't want to know more about the stock market doing that, you can also tune in about the shake-up in late night tv. stephen colbert is preparing to take the reins from the guy on the left, david letterman. so how is the media covering this switch? howard kurtz will weigh in on this change next. plus, there's some new warnings about online security and a new threat that's left, they say, the personal information of millions exposed and, apparently, it's within around for -- it's been around for quite some time.

they say it can be used to steal passwords, credit card numbers and a lot of information from unsuspecting users. how can we all try to stop it and protect ourselves when we log on? adam houseley live in the washington with the details. >> reporter: actually, we're here in los angeles because this is where a lot of the computer companies are located. this has been around a couple of years, and also hundreds of thousands of web sites affected and hundreds of millions of users potentially affected by this. here's what we can tell you, we put together a list to give you an idea of what you need to know about heart bleed. it is a programming mistake, basically, you are all likely to be affected either directly or indirectly. the bug leaves no traces of anything abnormal, and has this been abused if we don't know. that's part of the problem. a german programmer today according to multiple reports has now admitted that he created heart bleed on accident, he inserted the bug accidentally when he was trying to improve the open source system.
9:33 am
because of this hackers could crack your e-mail, security firewalls, possibly your mobile phones. developers rushed out patches, companies like amazon, google, yahoo! were all affected so what they tried to do was figure out a way to fix these patches to keep people from being vulnerable and to keep their users safe. >> consumers should definitely be concerned. i mean, this is, like i said, this is one of the nastiest security vulnerabilities we've seen in a long time. i mean, we used to see these kind of things on a monthly basis. in the last five, ten years we've not seen one this bad. >> reporter: now, the bug infects and affects encryption technology designed to protect your sensitive data on the internet, so basically it's the way of keeping your stuff safe when you go back and forth between web sites like user names, passwords. it's not a virus that can be stopped by mcafee or consumer security software. you can have that on your computer, and it still won't
9:34 am
stop. changing your password can help if you know the web sites affected have fixed it, so, basically, avoid web sites that haven't put up a patch. any way, even if you do it all, consumers are still threatened. >> to be honest, there's not much that an average consumer, average internet user can do because you're at the her is city of the services that you -- the mercy of the services that you use, the web sites that you go to. if you were to change your password, unfortunately, someone might be able to pull it back down again. >> reporter: a lot of high-tech speak, the people at home has no idea about. basically, eric, it comes down to this, change your passwords, go online, there are a number of the web sites that are putting out word like yahoo! and google and facebook that they have put in a patch to now make it safe. if you are one of those people who uses one of those web sites, you just change your password again. so as we say, eric, it's really not a lot a consumer can do other than pay attention and
9:35 am
change your passwords often which we've been told to do, so it does show there's a lot of technology for the internet that does need to be improved just like a bridge or something like that, the internet needs to improve its infrastructure as well. eric: man, oh, map. change the passwords semifrequently and if not, we're just taking our chances. jenna? jenna: here with a look at how the media's covering system of the top stories, howard kurtz, host of "media buzz" joins us with a preview of what to expect this weekend. hi, howie. >> hi, jenna. jenna: so what's going on? there's a lot to choose from. [laughter] >> there sure is. we're going to lead with kathleen sebelius' resignation, and this was orchestrated like a symphony. "the new york times" reported late yesterday she wasn't force toed out -- that would seem heavy-handed, of course d but there was frustration at the white house over her
9:36 am
performance, and at the time that administration aides worried that the crippling problems at health healthcare.gd damage the president's legacy. even sebelius he's interviewed says she hopes all the animosity will leave with her as if this was all about one cabinet member as opposed to problems with the law itself. jenna: you probably saw the president speaking about kathleen sebelius, there was a definite tone to that press conference, howard. do you think that tone will be successful in being carried over and the kind of juke lance, the celebration, if you will, that today had over kathleen sebelius' job and over what's to come? >> i couldn't help but think that the president sure was heaping a lot of praise despite the tact that nobody was fighting to keep her in that job. whether sylvia burwell, an experienced manager, can do a better job of taming the bureaucracy and maybe changing tone of the way we cover this, open question right now. jenna: one of the stories that
9:37 am
broke during our show yesterday is the replacement for david letterman. i have to ask you about that, howard, because you're the media guy. now we've had 24 hours, a lot of opinions about steven colbert taking that position. what are your thoughts on that? >> i'm not just a media guy, i've been on the colbert report, and he's a very sharp interviewer. he has a deep understanding of poll the ticks, he knows when to break in. and the media elite love this guy. he's practically a standing ovation except for a few people saying, well, gee, another white guy. but there are a few questions. one of them is on the comedy central show, as everybody knows, he plays a character, a bloviating, conservative baffoon. on cbs he's going to be himself. he's kind of a charming guy, but the real stephen colbert's kind of untested as a late night host, and also because of the way he has gone on after the right in the guise of mockery, a lot of conservatives don't like him.
9:38 am
colbert told me he's a democrat, but he doesn't see himself as a political crusader, so we'll have to see whether he moderates his approach stylistically, what plays to a younger audience may not play late night on cbs, and also his approach to politics because he is seen as leaning left. jenna: what did you think when he interviewed you, howard? did he give you a hard time? >> his character gave me a hard time, but the funny thing was, they cut out some of my funniest lines because it's pretaped with making himself look funny. jenna: you know what? that's what's good about live television, howard, we don't do that to anybody, right? we get all your funny lines. >> no safety net, you can fall on your face. [laughter] one semi-serious line, i've got an extended interview coming up on sunday with cheryl atkinson, the cbs reporter who left that network, said she wasn't able to get many of her investigative stories on the air, she details the problems she had not only with the cbs management, but also the obama administration
9:39 am
about how it pressured and pushed back against some of her stories. jenna: we'll look forward to that. big show coming up, howard. we're looking forward to it. >> thanks. jenna: thank you. eric: looking forward to that interview. well, the good old-fashioned food pyramid, remember that? it's soon going to have a makeover. next year the government will release new dietary guidelines, and some of the changes have experts scratching their heads. one of the changes would be to promote food that they claim have a smaller carbon footprint to help fight global warming. doug mckelway live in washington with more on this. i guess if we were what we eat, what we eat can help the climate, they claim? >> reporter: i guess you could say that, eric. there is no doubt america is becoming fatter, there's an epidemic of heart disease and diabetes is a ticking time bomb that's going to cost our society a lot of money to treat. and with the government now largely in control of health care, it's no surprise that government wants us to lose weight. but some critics say there are
9:40 am
early indications the new federal dietary guidelines which are revised every five yearses and due to come out in 2015 may go too far, venturing not only into good diet, but using diet to help stem climate change, to promote sustainability and even animal rights. sonya angle who's with the cdc was formerly with the new york city department of health where she helped to regulate trans fats in restaurants, something she'd like to replicate across the country. >> it's not about individual decision making anymore. that's taken out of it because the opportunity here is to improve the food supply. >> reporter: critics also say they want to reduce our meat consumption. >> all types of meat. they're trying to discourage meat consumption as part of these dietary guidelines and trying to push us back to a plant-based diet. it make no sense from a nutritional perspective. >> reporter: critics say it's based on evidence thatse
9:41 am
up too much space to graze and produce methane, yes, flatulence, which is 20 times more powerful a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. recommendations are also likely to push for sustainability and local produce, all of which critics say will add to the cost of your food bill which you may have noticed is already going way up. hhs is also considering internet-based weigh-ins and sending text messages to fat people to help them lose weight. eric, if looking this the mirror doesn't help you, i don't know how a text message will. [laughter] eric: just put something on the refrigerator. >> reporter: not you, by the way. eric: okay, and wait until they start going after the big gulp. that happened here in new york, wait until that spreads out across the country. >> reporter: look out, 7/eleven. jenna: well, the 49ers' starting quarterback under investigation for an incident involving a woman and a hotel. what she's telling police, plus why some say that her story doesn't add up.
9:42 am
we'll explain coming up. and some health experts beginning to rethink those stockpiles of tamiflu stashes around the world in case of a pandemic. the new study suggests the flu treatment may not be as effective as once thought. good job!

♪ jenna: "happening now," or colin kaepernick is the star quarterback for the san francisco 49ers, and two other players involved in an incident earlier this month. steve harrigan is live from miami with more. >> reporter: jenna, we're just getting the first response from the san francisco 49ers' quarterback taking to twitter, writing the charges made in the tmz story and other story ises i've seen are completely wrong. besides the media reports, there are also police reports. miami police are investigating what went on april 1st in a downtown miami condo. a woman whose name is being withheld said she drank shots of alcohol and smoked marijuana with kaepernick and two other
9:46 am
nfl players. she felt light headed, went into a bedroom. the next morning she found herself in the hospital unaware what happened or how she got there. miami police at this point are saying no charges have been filed, and it's too early to tell whether even any crime has been committed. >> as of right now, there's nothing that we can rule out, but all we can say is it's just an information report. as of right now, it's just an information report where a crime has not opinion listed. >> reporter: kaepernick, 26 years old, has had quick success in the nfl, he led his team both to the super bowl and the nfc championship game in just two seasons. jenna? jenna: steve, thank you. ♪ ♪ eric: well, it turns out there's new questions about the effectiveness of some popular flu treatments. many countries have stockpiled
9:47 am
drugs like tamiflu in chase of a pandemic, but a new study suggest they may be no many percent than other medications, and some health professionals feel the company behind tamiflu says it is confident in the drug's benefits. >> i think we can now say we've been given an overoptimistic view of the drug. it doesn't do most of what we were told it did, and it also has harms we weren't aware of. >> we completely stand by the data that's been used and reviewed by regulators to approve tamiflu in more than a hundred countries around the world for the treatment and prevention of people contracting flu. eric: dr. david samadi, fox news medical a-teamer and someone i see every sunday at 12:30 along with marc siegel. good to see you. >> nice to see you. eric: we've talked about this, tamiflu, that if you feel you're getting the flu, pop a tamiflu, and it can prevent the flu. do you think that's true? >> unfortunately, this is a case
9:48 am
of overpromise and underdeliver. and i'm a little disappointed that we have this study that just came out. this was published in british medical journal, and for four years every time you started to have the sensation and the feelings of flu, your doctor gave you this tamiflu to shorten the period of the disease itself but also reduce the symptoms, and perhaps prevent you from getting the full-blown influenza and ending up in the hospital. the idea is that they can shorten it by one day, and now we're finding out that a lot of data may or may not have been accurate. in fact, they put it against placebo, and tamiflu, and there was not really think benefit. unfortunately, the side effects which is nausea, vomiting, headache and possible kidney issues are some of the side effects. so this is a warning, and, of course, there has to be further investigation and find out whether there's any benefit to this, but i was disappointed because so many medical doctors out there emphasize z-pak or tamiflu when it's indicated. eric: well, the company's
9:49 am
defending, obviously. what should you do if you think you have the flu? jon scott is out, that's why i'm here. should you start taking tamiflu? what should people do? >> you know, i think you need to be tested first and find out if you really have the flu before you start going to this. so if you feel like starting to have those symptoms, see your doctor. that's my advice. and find out exactly what you do. you know, sometimes it has its own course of events, 7-10 days. you want to make sure you keep up with the hydration and rest and make sure that this will pass. the issue in is in u.s. right now there's about $1.3 billion worth of stockpile stored somewhere that in case the government is ready to get this tamiflu out in case we have a real pandemic, and that may be not a good way to spend our money, and that's the big message that's coming out as a result of this study. so my message to a lot of people out there is, number one, get the flu vaccine when the time is appropriate, and talk to your doctor if you have those
9:50 am
symptoms to make sure you're treated correctly. eric: vitamin c, orange juice, that help? >> all of it helps, but you have to take a lot to catch up with it. after all the years, you get the honorary doctor position. you know so much about medicine, it's incredible. so i look forward to seeing you. eric: all right, this sunday, 12:30. dr. saw paddy -- >> good to see you, eric. jenna: the power of social media helping catholic churches struggling with declining attendance. how flash mobs are taking on a higher calling, next. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

pennsylvania that well, you've probably heard of the online phenomenon called a flash mob, well, now a group of catholics are turning to mass mobs to help

breathe fresh life into struggling older churches across the country. lauren green is live here in our studio -- you're not a part of them, are you? >> reporter: i did not. i just covered it. they're these seemingly random acts in public places, and it's really gone viral. and a new twist on the flash mob has come to catholic church. it is called the mass mob, and because of it, philadelphia's st. francis xavier church saw a fivefold increase in attendance. organizers got the idea from the diocese of buffalo, new york, and it started the mass mob as a way to inspire young catholics to come back to the church and let visitors see the beautiful architecture of the aging houses of worship. in cities hard hit by urban flight, extra guests also fill offering plates, and mobs have spread to nearby rochester and cleveland and columbus, and social media is the fuel.
