not be picayune when writing to the factor. please remember the spin stops here. we're definitely looking after you. breaking tonight, a scandal over what looks like an intentional effort to mislead voters explodes with new video of a key white house adviser underscoring just how stupid he things americans are. welcome to "the kelly file," everyone, i'm megyn kelly. in the last 24 hours a scandal involving a key white house adviser has blown up. and now we are waiting for some sort of on the record explanation from the administration. it started when video surfaced yesterday of m.i.t. economist jonathan gruber, one of the key architects of obama care speaking at a health care forum last year describing on camera the effort to hoodwing what he

called stupid american voters. >> this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure cbo did not score the mandate of taxes. if so, the bill dies. it's written to do that. in terms of subsidies, a law which says healthy people will pay in, it would not have passed. just like people's lack of transparency a huge political advantage. and basically calls the stupidity of the american voter or whatever, but they quickly -- that was really, really critical to get this thing to pass. the second best argument. i wish we could make this transparent so i would like this law than not. there are things i wish i could change but i'd rather have this law than not. >> that caught fire. today mr. gruber who declined his opportunity to explain his remarks here on "the kelly file" went on to watch a little-watched broadcast on

msnbc to say that his remarks were spontaneous and careless. >> the comment and the video was made at an academic conference. i was speaking off the cuff and i spoke inappropriately. and i regret making those comments. >> it was off the cuff. he didn't mean it. but now tonight more video has surfaced showing this was not the first time mr. gruber called the american people stupid in an off the cuff remark. in this next clip from also last year, mr. gruber explains how democrats played with the language of the obama care law so that it achieved their dwogo, by again, fooling the stupid public. >> pretty much the same thing. they imposed a tax, americans are too stupid to understand. >> too stupid to understand.lçcç hours ago the white house distancing itself from mr. gruber by refusing to give any on-the-record response to his comments, but that wasn't the

white house attitude when it was selling the health care law. in fact, the white house could not get enough of jonathan gruber. by 2010 the administration has for his expertise. so white house dedicated a webpage to his health care analysis. white house visitor laws reportedly show senior officials there at the white house had a dozen meetings with health care advisers including gruber. in one of those meetings with mr. gruber was personally chaired by the president in the oval office. and here's how one top democrat described gruber at the time. >> the congressional budget office and professor gruber are both credible and unbiased sources, were not bought and sold by the insurance industry. >> boy, they love it. they loved him back then. joining me now republican south carolina congressman trey gouder who is a member of the house oversight committee. your reaction to that?

>> well, happy veterans day, megyn. i can't get past the irony to even get to the arrogance. the most transparent administration since the continent shifted had to rely on artifice and deception to pass its signature piece of legislation. you can't make that up. he had to lie to people and then he justified it, so i can't even get past the irony of that to even get to the arrogance of him calling hur fellow citizens stupid. >> you are a former prosecutor. you're great in a courtroom. have you ever -- i mean, this is smoking gun. i mean, this is the smoking gun piece of evidence -- i mean, for years now the american public has disliked the law, has complained that they felt it was crammed down their throats, that there was dishonesty in the process, that they were not told the full story, now you've got the chief architect of the law on camera saying, yes, we had to lie because you are too dumb to know what's good for you. >> yeah, it's really serious in

a participatory democracy that you tell your fellow citizens you are not smart enough to understand the truth or we can't tell you the truth because you wouldn't go along with it. well maybe you shouldn't pass the law. it's not the responsibility of your viewers to read thousand page bills. hell, the people that vote on it didn't read it before they voted on it. it's not my fellow citizens' responsibility to read this bill. i would say this to the professor, put down the cognac and the lost writings of j.d. salinger, you will see our stupid our fellow citizens are, take a look at last tuesday night. because they rejected you, this bill and this administration. >> they bounced out 28 senators who voted in favor of this law. and yet mr. gruber thinks that the american public is stupid. and yet they're smarter than he thinks because they doubted his assertions at the time. they've doubted them ever since. so despite his effort to pull the wool over their eyes, they've been on to these

deceptions for a long, long time. this law has never had the majority support of the american people. yet it is on the books. they are stuck with it. and now people want to come out and say it doesn't matter what mr. gruber said. all that matters is that we have this wonderful law that people should love and, if they don't, well, it's because, as we told you, they're stupid. >> well, i would hope my fellow citizens would keep this in mind any time somebody wants to sell them, quote, a comprehensive piece of legislation, whether it's dodd/frank or the immigration bill the president wants, comprehensive is latin for there's lots of bad stuff in here. he just proved that he's willing to lie, he's willing to lie because he has the arrogance of thinking that he knows what is best for this country and the citizens and the voters could not. so keep that in mind the next time anybody tries to sell you on a big piece of legislation by calling it comprehensive. >> do you think the white house needs to speak to this now? we went through the number of

contacts he had personally chairing, the president did, a meeting with him, touting him as an objective analyst, credible, unbiased, compelling, his senate testimony. he was presented to us as an honest broker by the administration. >> i would loç@+> congressman trey gowdy.

before i letogs you go, what's happening on benghazi? >> we have a very robust investigative plan that will kick off in december, and, megyn,ic te i can tell you my g was to have an investigation whereness withes never talked to before felt comfortable coming forward because of the seriousness of our investigation and that's precisely what is happening. it is not with a lot of fanfare and there aren't a lot of public hearings, but trust me when i tell you we are making tremendous progress. >> thank you, sir, good to see you. >> yes, ma'am. happy early birthday. >> thank you very much. joining me now is a democratic pollster and president and ceo of whitman insight strategies. this is not first time mr. gruber, professor, has been caught misleading us. he said in january that obama care was never meant to save money, don't worry about that, but he said it was a deficit reducer, a cost ektive step towards cost problems. he said if you're a state and you don't set up an exchange, that means your citizens don't get their tax credits. when the states decided not to set up exchanges and go on

healthcare.gov and said we want our credits, he said go ahead, you can have them. forget that stuff i said before. now he says that other stuff we said about taxes, that's all bs, we had to do it because we had to get this law passed and sorry. >> you know what it proves? it proves that gruber may be a decent policy with regard to health care but he's3°n politicl ed yot. the affordable care act has brought down the deficit because of medicaid w5vureduction. the fact is the cost of health care is going down. 8% before this is now going up to 4%. the fact is 18% of americans do not have health insurance before the law passed -- >> speak to the substance. >> the law actually is working. >> what he was saying in the first clip, the long one where he said we had to write in it a way where they didn't score it as taxes, that would have been a problem. he was saying that the system is

set up to hide its true nature, which is wealth redistribution. he was saying, if we said explicitly that we were going to make the young and healthy people pay and to help the old and unhealthy people, it would not have passed, so we had to lie. >> megyn, i think everybody knew what they were getting. obama xand on this law for two solid years. >> i don't remember him2jo say that. >> he risked his presidency on the law. we lost the house because of the law. i think everybody knew exactly what they were gettingv067 cf1o >> oh, my god, bernard, seriously? >> the justice of the supreme court roberts -- >> everyone knew what they were getting? is that what you want the viewers to believe? >> -- attacked, now, politicall speaking, of course it could not be sold as a tax, so they called it a mandate. >> you're relying on chief justice roberts saying -- a decision on which he was roundly panned that turned half the country against him? that's your evidence that this law was clear is the most controversial supreme court decision in years where roberts

said it's very clear it's a tax. an argument that neither side paid any attention to. >> you know why? this is the sad truth. governments do amazing things. they provide for national defense, they build roads and bridges -- >> they lie on people that lie to our faces like mr. gruber. >> and to make sure that tens of millions of americans have health care coverage. >> no matter what. the ends justify the means. >> people that can't afford health care. >> did you hear me? the ends justify the means? >> no, i'm saying that taxes are necessary to pay for things -- >> then get out there and makea. tell us that professor gruber. >> we don't need to because the law was passed. >> we don't need to because this is based on a lie. >> he wasn't charged with -- >> he was a senior white house adviser on this. he was there nine times, bernard. >> nonverbal communication. >> who was he talking about? in that second clip in a conversation with john kerry, with the administration, repeatedly he met with them and the decision was to mislead.

>> i don't think the decision was to mislead. i think the decision was -- look, you take a policy decision hee  wanted enacted, which is universal health care coverage. we water that down, we enable people to get coverage that ordinarily did not have coverage. and in order to pass that -- >> you say what you need to say. >> you call it a mandate instead of a tax. if it had been called a tax, it would not have passed. >> it was about the deception on who was going to pay, it was the fraud that was committed on the young people. that is what was argued before the supreme court, the system nature. wealth distribution. of time. we're taking your thoughts on facebook.com/the kellyfile. the man who took a hatchet ñ rookies w york police# in a horrifying terror attack. wait until you see what we now know about this guy. plus glenn beck getting national attention after he shares shocking news about his health and the mysterious

illness. that report is just ahead. >> i was told by doctors just this last spring when we moved off this stage that i can no longer work the way i had been working because it was literally killing me. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hiddenhings..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

chief intelligence correspondent katherine her ij is live for us in washington. >> this four-page intelligence assessment speaks directly to zale thompson's radicalization and online obsession with jihad. it found that thompson was looking for jihadist propaganda, foreign terrorist groups and violent tactics before he attacked those rookie cops before he was shot dead. this page from the nypd bulletin shows just how many times he was looking for radical islam online. all these bullet points are search terms. there are hib58 such as jihad i america, jihad against the police, jihad is the only solution and jihad against jews and crusaders.ln7p thompson's web activity also suggests he considered targeting the u.n. general assembly and specifically saudi dignitaries.

it includes evidence photos from the crime scene and hunting knife at his home. a leading analyst at george washington university says the early reporting from anonymous sources that thompson was somehow motivated by anti-government and black power sentiments were plain wrong. >> this was jihadist inspired, plain and simple. he has so many search terms in this respect that i think it would be very difficult to suggest that it's anything but. >> in addition to the web searches, thompson was a follower of al qaeda affiliates for at least a year and a half before this horrific attack on thoseñu"cát cops, megyn. >> catherine herridge, thank you. >> we're digging into a group of muslims who are challenging the nypd over a surveillance program that the department says is designed to prevent anoth another 9/11. peter king is chairman of the house

he joins me now. this group has filed a lawsuit saying this program is unconstitutional, and a lower court disagrees saying it's fine. the nypd did it. they had a reason to do it. they didn't just target you because you were muslims. they were trying to find jihadists imbedding themselves in the muslim communities. to do that they needed to surveil these mosques and other areas. now they're appealing saying this is discrimination on its face. and you say what? >> i say that judge bill martini who wrote the opinion dismissing the lawsuit was 1,000% correct. he pointed out that there were no rights violated here whatsoever. he said if you're going to look for muslim terrorists, you would obviously surveil muslim communities. that's where they would be coming from. we're not talking about fourth amendment issues here. there's no search and seizure, no wire tapping. this is police surveilling, monitoring that doesn't require a court order whatsoever. also there was no harm done to anyone in the community. the only harm that came to the muslim community, if you want to

call it that, is when the associated press leaked classified documents that the nypd kept on this surveillance. but the nypd, again, no rights violated, no spying, nothing other than good police work they were looking for terrorists that could be coming from that community. remember, the 1993 world trade center attack originated from new jersey. >> but they say -- this is the plaintiff's group, the muslim group, they say that the nypd they engaged in pretext tual conversations to elicit details about the lives of regular muslim americans. no muslim was beyond suspicion. one woman who lives in newark, they say she was surveilled because she operates a grade school for muslim girls. they say this is the harm is the blatant treatment of muslims as different, as other, as deserving of suspicion simply based on their faith. >> well, judge martini looked at the record and carefully said there was nothing to back that

up at all. whenever you're doing surveillance in the community, for instance, when the fbi was going after the mafia, they weren't into italian american communities and they were asking questions and inquiring. when they went after the westies, they went to every irish bar on the west side of manhattan. if some people's feelings were hurt, that's one thing. that's not a constitutional issue, that's not a legal issue. the nypd goes out of its way to do it. they were invited into new jersey by people there. and no one's rights were violated here. >> what's the status of the program today? >> commissioner bratton and deputy commissioner john miller are working to keep the program going. there have been some changes made. quite frankly, i fully supported commissioner kelly's program, but i believe that commissioner bratton will do everything he can to keep the program as effective as ever. unfortunately, when mayor de blasio ran, he was critical of

the program. he sided with "the new york times," but since he's been in office, commissioner bratton is doing the best he can. >> seems like the mayor has done a reversal on this. that's ams interesting. good to see you. >> always good to see you. an international event involving china's first lady, vladimir putin and a moment chinese censors are trying to hide. plus the story behind glenn beck's shocking announcement behind what he describes as a serious and painful illness. that's next. >> it's baffled some of the best doctors in the world. it has frightened me and my family. as we didn't know what was happening.

a brief moment involving russian vladimir putin and the

chinese president's wife became the top story around the globe for a brief time today. take a look. vladimir putin wrapping a shawl, you see there, around china's first lady. we don't know if he was just being gallant, but it appears chinese authorities are not amused. reports indicating they have scrubbed the image clean from not being mentioned by chinese media. apparently the associated press says mr. putin is considered a bit of a heartthrob among chinese women who consider him macho and a man of action. developing tonight, tv show host glenn beck getting national attention after revealing details last night about what he describes as a severe and painful illness, that he says he's been battling for years. trace gallagher has more from our west coast bureau. >> megyn, glenn beck says he revealed his illness because he could no longer keep secrets

from his friends, staff and his audience. he said his illness battled some of the best doctors in the world and that his brain function was in the bottom tenth percentile. >> i was a healthy guy. we went to doctor after doctor, we even looked into, is somebody poisoning me? what is happening? every doctor i went to each had a new finding and they left me with more questions and no answers. >> he says he tried different diets, medications, even moved to a warmer climate, relocating his show from new york to dallas, but he says the symptoms got worse. listen. >> most afternoons, my hands will start to shake or my hands and feet begin to curl up and i became in a fetal position. and when it gets real bad, my friends just kind of try to uncurl me. my wife went through the worst. i couldn't help but think this is definitely not what she

signed up for. many days, she would tie my s e shoes. or button my shirts. the simple things that you take for granted. >> he says years of sleep deprivation took its toll on his work and that his staff would even ask if he even cared any more. beck says he asked god if he was done, if he should put down his sword, and the answer was always no. listen. >> my doctors told me that it was my faith in god that was powering me through all of that, that i shouldn't be standing. that if i would have stayed in new york city, they didn't think i would be alive today. >> beck claims he was eventually diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and adrenal fatigue after other things. but after months of hormone treatment and special therapy, he's back and healthy, and he

now says life is not about politics or a 5:00 p.m. show. he didn't specify what life is about now, but apparently we're about to see a brand new glenn beck. megyn? >> it's unbelievable, if you watch the whole thing, i mean, it's riveting, and he tells it in his own words. and it's stirring up all sorts of reaction on the internet. trace, thank you. in 30 minutes we'll have the full story of the man who killed usama bin laden. that's special programming tonight here on fnc. but first up, on this show, why he is not sure if it's the worst thing or the best thing he ever did. plus, a series of terror attacks in israel raising new questions about whether these are being coordinated and whether they are leading to something much bigger. i'm over the hill.

"the kelly file" with megyn kelly. new questions tonight about a series of recent attacks in israel. whether they are somehow connected and whether they are leading up to something bigger. trace gallagher has the story. trace? >> megyn, even israeli experts who say the third intefadeh or uprising has not begun do acknowledge the tension level in israel is very high with attacks happening almost daily. yesterday an israeli soldier was stabbed to death near a busy train station in tel aviv. in the west bank a driver was captured on cameras trying to run over people at a bus stop, then getting out of the car, stabbing one woman to death and then wounding two others. last week in jerusalem, another car attack, a driver mowing down a crowd at a train station platform, killing one, injuring 13 rand last month another palestinian drove a car into a crowded train platform killing two including a 3-month-old girl. experts say the attacks are

likely happening because of the controversy over the temple mount in east jerusalem. that's judaism's holiest site and islam's third holiest site. in late october a rabbi who advocates for allowing jewish prayer on the temple mount, which is prohibited, was shot and wounded. the shooting prompted israel to ban all prayer on the temple mount, a move that palestinian mahmoud abbas called an act of war. here's the israeli prime minister. listen. >> but i regret to say that the palestinian authority, which should also be working to calm tensions has joined hamas and other radical islamists in fanning the flames. >> despite israelis being the primary targets of recent attacks, the state department says there is plenty of blame to go around. listen. >> obviously, there have been a range of issues and events that have led to the rising tensions in the region that both sides need to could more.

>> and we should note once intefadeh's begin, history shows they take at least five years to end. >> incident ta fad das meaning uprising. buck, good to see you. >> thanks. >> what does all this tell us? >> what you see right now isír# certainly close to what would be a third intefadeh. it's not there yet. ommand and that's partly control. >> explain that, the intefadeh is an uprising. we've had two before. >> it's essentially a civil or civilian insurgency, an insurgency against the israeli state, involves rock throwing and suicide bombings. there have been two previous once. >> when the attacks sort of get greater and greater and greater it looks like we might be headed to this on the ground hand-to-hand combat. >> when you have knife attacks, vehicular attacks where they're mowing people down, all the rock

throwing, the shootings, this is ever closer to what we have to call a widespread upri%c3e or third intefadeh. there's a tremendous amount of rage, for different parts of societies. and the temple mount has become a holy site for jews and muslims. the israeli government looks at the situation and realize they could have something really difficult on their hands. this could last for many months and could be very violent. >> put this into perspective of what we saw between israel and hamas where there was a full scale military exchange going on? >> you have to connect those events. the israeli people see what happens in the gaza war. they saw that the israeli government was giving building material to hamas, that was used to create terror tunnels. the plot that was unearthed in that war was to allow those tunnels for hamas commandos to enter israel proper, kill men, women and children, kidnap some of them. that was too much. the israeli public said enough

is enough. and on the palestinian side of the situation with palestinian moderates, you hear people saying there is no peace process. there was supposed to be, john kerry, our sekts had made some efforts at it. but that's completely dead which is an anomaly really. usually at this stage in the second term of a u.s. presidency, there would be some kind of a peace process. there is nothing. what you have is a boiling over. you have these events one after the other and it's building towards something that will be very bloody and dangerous. >> is this sort of american giant looming in the background saying let's try to work something out when we learned last week that our president is writing to the ayatollah in iran who is on twitter. can i get the ayatollah tweet on the board? this is like the ayatollah is this barbaric wolflike and infanticidal regime of israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated.

looks like our discussions with him will go really well. here's his next one, why should and how can # israel be eliminated? ayatollah khamenei's answer. >> no death to america is like a national pastime for the ayatollah. this is not new rhetoric. >> we should be make iing with =v nuclear issu >> the uprising of violence in israel and jerusalem the obama had strags has its hands full and is not up to the task. one truth about the middle east is it can always get worse. this is about to get worse. >> we've seen a lot of that in 2014. t[&cp have a sneak peek at t fox news special "the man who killed usama bin laden." tonight's the night, folks. this is on right after "the kelly file." but you get a preview before this show is over. the tight runoff race for

breaking news in the louisiana senate race, which may or may not give the gop an additional seat. now, that race will be decided in a december 6th runoff. democrats now pushing for a vote

on the keystone excel pipeline during similar lame duck session. thx6@nlocrats didn't have the votes. so why are they doing this? well, it is reportedly5$mc to improve senator mary landrieu's chances in this runoff election. the democrats reportedly ready to push this vote knowing that they will fail because the democrats don't have the votes to push it through. but they do want senator landrieu to be able to say that she voted in favor. i spoke to her challenger, congressman bill cassidy, louisiana senate candidate, just a short time ago. good of you to be here tonight. and so this is the reporting now, that despite their failed efforts in the past to get this through, theromeemocrats don't want it, the republicans want it. a few crossovers like landrieu want it. but they haven't been able to get it through harry reid. he doesn't want it. most democrats don't want it. president obama doesn't want it. yet they've come up with an idea which is reportedly designed to help your competitor hold on to her seat. your thoughts on that?

>> hey, megyn, thank you for having me. i think it's incredibly cynical. keep in mind harry reid could have brought this up any time that he wished, but he -- instead of bringing jobs for 40,000 people, better jobs, better benefits that would have been construction jobs related to the pipeline, he doesn't do it. the only job he's interested in protecting is senator mary landrieu's. he could have brought this up months ago. his cynicism is what people do not like about washington. they care more about returning their colleagues, senator landrieu, to the senate than they do about the 40,000 jobs that would have had better wages, better benefits. >> the thing is it's got a chance -- not necessarily at the white house, but in the senate -- if it gets voted on in january once those republicans go in and take control. they've got a chance. but right now in december, you know, leading up, it doesn't. so there could really only be one reason, some sort of symbolism or perhaps to help some random candidate, maybe the

one running against you. isn't this just so naked and obvious? >> he's not brought up any such bills in six years. now in senator landrieu's senate whatever is in danger, he brings it up. she supports the president 97% of the time. this is the fig leaf promoting the idea that she hasd&óz independence. she does not. she supports his agenda. that's why bill cass id idy is running against her. that's why i will win. >> you are fighting to see how many seats the gop will have in the senate. clear they'll have control once the new congress starts. but whether they have this seat in louisiana or not remains to be seen. one of the things that's made news this week is she sent out a tweet because she has a theme, where was bill. she says to the people of louisiana i've been here for you for three terms. where has he been? he's been voting against policies that have helped the folks of louisiana. she sent out a tweet saying when

the new orleans v.a. hospital needed to be rebuilt out of the rubble of katrina and rita, where was bill? and you had a response for the senator that made some news. perhaps you can tell your audience where you are. >> if senator landrieu wants to know where i was during hurricane katrina, i was leading a team of volunteers to take an abandoned kmart to turn into a surge hospital. we worked 72 straight hours so that we could have it ready for those3ño fleeing flood waters o new orleans. now, i was on the front line. you don't have to be in a helicopter flying over the city. you can actually be on the ground. that's where i was. by the way, senator landrieu suggests i'm hiding from the voters. she's hiding from the fact that she's with barack obama 97% of the time. i've been where the voters are. she's trying to hide where she's been. >> we're happy to have her on the program if she wants to come and talk about anyss, of this. you were out there and our viewers should know you're a medical doctor. you worked very hard to help many patients and establishing

clinics and so on. but her point is and the larger point as far as i can tell, is that you voted against the hospital for veterans. you said, as a state senator in louisiana, that they couldn't afford it. even though you did something to sort of help the refugees after the hurricane, you actually vote -- when sort of the metal met the road, you were not there for folks who needed that v.a. hospital. >> so megyn, i almost have to laugh. that v.a. hospital was voted on in congress before i went to congress. she is accusing me of not voting for something when i wasn't in congress. this came through. you're denying that now? >> no, i'm telling the truth, there's nothing to deny. there was an lsu hospital, a state hospital, there was a v.a. hospital. i had no vote on the v.a. hospital. the lsu hospital i thought>x;ñ they were imagining was way too big. >> she came out with a new attack ad against you suggesting

that you gave a speech in which, and i quote, you were nearly incoherent. we have a clip of it. we'd love to get your reaction. getting a little ugly down there in louisiana. stand by. >> i'm mary landrieu and i >> bill cassidy gave a speech that was nearly incoherent. >> senator landrieu may get -- >> but his record isg[+÷ clear voting for cuts on security benefits. >> boo. >> to pay for a tax break for millionaires like himself. >> and you get the idea, sir. your reaction to that. >> yeah, that has been given threeiç pinocchios by an independent ad agency. they took a two-second clip out of a 15-minute speech. if you look at the whole speech, actually, i think i did a pretty good job. this shows the bitter des

z right side of issues for the people of louisiana which is why i'm going to win on december 6th. >> take it from me, sir, sometimes we are not as eloquent when the cameras are rolling as we would like to be. i'll leave it at that. bill cassidy, great to see you, sir. >> thank you, megyn. up next, for the first time ever, hear the man who killed usama bin laden explain why he is still not sure if it's the best or the worst thing he's ever done.

findley picked that was because in the late 1880s there was a u.s. army lieutenant charles gatewood that led the mission to kill the apache chief, charles gateoh&v didwo gatewood. we would use that to book it. figured it out, but nobody else knew. >> that's amazing. tonight is first hour, tomorrow night same time, 10:00 p.m. is the second hour. congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> great job. don't miss this. you will see it only !ñm2y it's a compelling interview. and it brings you the whole story of a man you need to get to know on veterans day. tonight, 10:00 p.m. eastern. ♪
