they do what they chance. they do what they can. that impulse, that humane impulse, engulfed a major u.s. city this afternoon. that's the best new thing in the world today. oh, my god is it. that does it for us tonight. have a great weekend. good night. what's next the health care fight? could it damage the president's signature law? we'll have a live update coming up next. dr. nancy sniderman on the ground in philippines. the price of gas is reaching lows that haven't been seen in a while. how low could it go and why now? unraveling a mystery. gold in ft. knox. i'll talk to the author.
4:01 am
good morning, everyone. here's what's happening -- another weekend of hand wringing on capitol hill as democrats and republicans take sides over the latest moves by the president to bolster the affordable care act. president obama late friday to keep soon to be canceled plans. an 11th hour effort to make good on a promise the president made when campaigning for the law. the big problem is communication. he wants to make sure that americans understand their options. >> we want to make sure that we get this done so that in the years to come every american is going to have the kind of affordable health care they all deserve. meantime, the president witnessed a major defection in his own ranks. a bill by fred upton hit the floor yesterday, it would seriously alter health care and
4:02 am
democra a majority of republicans voted. 39 democrats broke ranks to support that bill which prompted passionate debate. >> millions of americans, its cancellations today, sticker shock tomorrow. remember the old days when pre-existing conditions were discriminated against, this bill brings back that practice. >> joining me now for more on this defense reporter for politico. and ed okeith. ed, let's start with the meeting with insurers and what came out of that meeting? >> several have said that this is a very difficult thing and this the white house basically went ahead without consulting them which is kind of hard to believe that the white house would have to do that when you
4:03 am
have to double-check with the guys who would be implementing this. it was to remind this industry basically who's in charge and stop them essentially from getting out there and trying to criticize the president too much, whether it's going to be enough, we'll see. pretty hard to believe that the white house went ahead and did that without checking with them in advance. >> i want to hear what those in congress have to say. let's listen to democrat nick rahal talking to kelly o'donnell. >> f-minus. >> that low? >> f-minus. one of 39 democrats that sided with the gop on that upton bill. how much of a blow is that to the white house? >> if you at the democrats sided with republicans on this bill they're from moderate districts. what do you do with this?
4:04 am
this is the president's signature bill. supposedly his signature achieve mtd. all of these problems are having a huge problem with trust within the white house. i think there's a big problem here for the 39 democrats who voted against this bill. >> and let's hear what nancy pelosi had to say on the floor of the house yesterday. >> this is politics. it's not about policy. it isn't any attempt to improve the affordable care act. >> so, ed, politics not policy, what specifically in the bill could hurt the survival of the affordable care act? >> well, it's the idea that essentially insurance companies could continue those plans that don't meet the new standards established by the new law and those insurance companies could then sell those plans to new people, that strikes right at the heart at the purpose of the affordable care act which was to stop these type of perhaps that
4:05 am
discrimina discriminate. and so this was just seen as a total slap of the law. several democrats yesterday, accused republicans of starting now to chip away at the law piece by piece as different concerns arise. look again at that 39 democrats, considering most of them are the freshmen democrats elected in tight races. where it's going to be a big issue again next year. 8 of those 39 came from california the home state of nancy pelosi. millions of californians might lose their plans. five of those democrats came from illinois, the president's home state, they also understand that this is a big issue in their swing districts. >> the gop has been strongly opposed to this law since it passed. does this provide an opportunity for him, like he said, to start chipping away at it. >> i'm not sure if ed is the
4:06 am
upton will override it. it was a signature issue for the president that's kind of become an embarrassing issue for the administration. really seize on it and that this is an issue that we have and we can take this on. you voted for something that isn't working. the president promised this to the american people and he let them down. obama care was a witherring punch line prior to that point. >> the president said that he's go inning to veto this bill if it reaches his desk. do you think it will pass the senate? >> not necessarily. several democrats would like to vote on something like this. mary malandreu would address th
4:07 am
broken promise that washington seized on this week. harry reid said that he's done legislating over the affordable care act. do they feel that the administrative fixes introduced this week do enough? if so, does the sort of public outrage start to die down and implementation of the law start to continue? the way democrats see there's still a year to go stand obama care won't be the central issue of next year's campaign. >> lot of people are noting all we're hearing is the problems with this rollout, in part, people would have success stories and positive news to contribute, if they were able to sign up for cheap affordable health care, they can't do that.
4:08 am
the deadline of course is the end of the month to get this website fixed, if that happens, how far do you think that will improve the damage? >> we're hearing this big blame game between the administration and the contractors who worked on this website. >> does that matter to the public whose to blame? isn't the story here it just doesn't work and if it does start working does it shift dynamic and the narrative here? >> i agree with you. it matters that the fact is the american people aren't looking to what contractor worked on this website. they're looking at i'm a person and i don't have a health care coverage. i was promised by this president and i don't have it. if there's a rollout and smooth this out it might not be as potent as it has been on the campaign trail. about how to get there there might be a gap on how to get

4:10 am
students are being told to wash hands and not share cups. turning now to the weather and a snowstorm out west, in oregon, heavy snow is making roads treacherous, skiers and snowboarders are getting excited about it. nbc meteorologist dylan dreyer is here with more. >> along the coast of seattle and down into northwestern oregon it's mainly rain, this is an elevation-type storm, you can see from the mated snowfall totals we're possibly going to see upwards around a foot of snow in parts of washington state, also through central, northern idaho, too, in the highest elevations. elsewhere, 6 to 12 inches, mostly in the mountain rangers.
4:11 am
we're focusing on an area of rain and potential strong storms and then move into the great lakes region as we go into tomorrow. doesn't look like much right now. in fact, we have a slight risk of strong storms with damaging wind and the potential for some moderate-sized hail, especially back into eastern iowa and illinois today. watch what happens as we go into tomorrow, that threat increases. in yellow, we could see very strong thunderstorms from wisconsin to new york state. stretching down to alabama and mississippi. but in red, across parts of the great lakes and into the ohio river valley that's where we could see an outbreak of damaging winds and the potential for tornadoes. ahead of a cold front. that's going to be bring some warmth. behind it that's where the 40s are.

. one week after typhoon haiyan hit the philippines aid is starting to trickle in. getting basic resources like food and clean water is proving to be more of a challenge. nbc chief medical correspondent nancy snyderman is on the ground in cebu. >> reporter: there have been more planes coming in from more
4:16 am
nations, saudi arabia, united arab emirates and of course the united states. overall, mara, it's been a very complicated week. international relief aid is pouring in today in the hardest hit area, eight days after a devastating typhoon slammed into the philippines. after the initial days of chaos where aid was nowhere to be found for the thousands left homeless, finally some hope, today, u.s. navy helicopters are dropping food and water supplies to isolated communitiecommuniti. desperate for any hope. the mission -- trying to find a way to save those who survived the storm. not all aid and assistance are reaching those who need it most. on the remote island, residents
4:17 am
said they haven't received enough local aid and yet to see relief from international agencies. >> we need help. we need your help. water, food, light cloths. >> reporter: the water system of the village was destroyed by the storm and now residents are getting water from a well and they boil the water before drinking. in other areas, as hunger sets in, some have turned to looting warehouses, abandoned shops and even ships blown ashore when the typhoon hit. salvaging what they can amid the devastation. it's been a very complicated week, mara, because geographically, this is a very complicated country, over 7,000 islands, while it's very easy to criticized how the aid gets from the tarmac behind me to an
4:18 am
islands hundreds of miles away it's a low jest ic nightmare. the u.s. navy, the air force and marines have done an extraordinary job. >> thank you. back home the obama administration continues its efforts to get the health care plan back on track, insurance companies this weekend are trying to figure out how to move forward with the president's new plan to allow millions of americans who received cancellation plans to keep their plans for a year. what are we hearing from the white house this morning if. >> reporter: the white house certainly trying to put a lid on this huge political problem that it's been dealing with and i have been speaking with insurance officials who say it could take days if not longer to figure out how to implement the president's request they allow people to keep their policies that have been canceled. they feel the president passed a
4:19 am
hot potatoe on to them. from 15 insurance companies, he met with, trying to figure out the next step. there's still a lot of confusion, namely how to reverse course so quickly. remember that first enrollment deadline comes up in just a month, then there's the question about the marketplace. if insurance companies do decide to go along with it. ultimately, they said it could wind up driving up premiums. you have the question of state regulators saying they're not going to go along with the president's request, further compounding the political problem for the president, on friday, 39 democrats, many who are facing tough re-election battles, broke with the president to approve a
4:20 am
republican-backed bill to deal with this. the web is site is still not functioning smoothly. by the end of the month, that is a critical deadline f that doesn't happen, that will turn what is a big political problem right now into a political crisis and of course, the president's legacy is riding on all of this. mara? >> it's most certainly is. the story on how a city honored a boy with superhero strength. i have low testosterone. there, i said it.

charity, you should know that your generosity is actual lly getting here. it's getting it from runways to runs on these roads, it's very difficult. lot of places are remote and difficult to get to. at the moment, the local neighborhood chairman, district chairman are sending trucks on an ad hoc basis. so, a lack of any sense of a whole coordinated master plan at the moment. mara? >> angus, there wasn't a sudden natural disaster, how are people in hindsight judging evacuations in dealing with storms? >> well, the government here certainly appeared complacent in advance of this storm because they were saying, because of their evacuation plans and preparation, that no one would be killed, we know that sadly
4:35 am
that is not the case, lot of countries could not cope with a natural disaster on this scale, the way the u.s. government dealt with the aftermath of hurricane katrina, in that case, lot of people were criticizes the president and saying that aid was not quick enough and people were left high and dry after that terrible disaster. you have to have some sympathy for the government of the philippines. people here have lost faith in -- >> and we seem to have lost the signal there. that was angus walker. if you would like to donate to recovery efforts in philippines it's redcross. they discussed the president's surprise pro posal, americans with canceled plan can extend them for a year. >> my expectation was that, for
4:36 am
98% of the american people, either, genuinely wouldn't change at all or they would be pleasantly surprised with the options in the marketplace and that the grandfather clause would cover the rest that prove not to be the case. that's on me. joining me now is joe sestak. you have been a supporter of obama care. with the problems of this rollout, has that changed your feeling? >> no, not at all with legislation. look, i learned in navy, expect what you inspect. the president should have been down there demanding input. that a blotched implementation didn't occur. when pennsylvanians were losing their health care every year
4:37 am
before the affordable care act was passed that's the equivalent of the entire population of harrisburg, our capital, in 44 weeks, that means that this is a major step forward and so, this website has got to be fixed and i think the president had to keep his promise, but what he has proposed now is a little bit late. but i think you need to keep in mind, mara, that the affordable care act, actually had in it, insurance companies on their own could have grandfathered individual plans if they wanted. the president said if you would, please, let's grandfather those individual plans until we can get the website going. do i think this is a great execution? absolutely not. more fair to americans like those 60,000 that were losing their health care every year because affordability was getting so much greater and
4:38 am
because small businesses were not providing health care anymore? yes, the design is right. the execution is very poor. >> in terms of the president's response to these problems, he said, i didn't know, do you think that's acceptable? >> it's not an acceptable response and he should have known. expect what you inspect. the captain gets off the ship and goes down to walk around to make sure he knows what's going on. look n the military, we don't give health care because we're liberals or socialists. because we give health care because we want to have productive warriors. that's why i supported the affordable care act. we lose huns of billions of dollars every year because of the under and uninsured.
4:39 am
i want a productive work force that people are ready to go at all times, to compete with china. when you had for years, 5,000 people in pennsylvania losing their health care, then you know we're not as productive as we have to be. mara, this even decreased the national debt the way we did it. we have to get through this poor execution and make sure promises are kept. or otherwise, it's the trust deficit and that's what he has regain. >> it wasn't just more people would be covered, they would have more quality coverage, do you think it addresses the policy concern? >> it does once the full bill is ready to go. and that can't be ready to be executed until the websites are ready to go. i don't like we're kicking this down the road for the individualized market. those individuals that have to
4:40 am
buy it on their own because they're on their own in their own business or their employer doesn't provide it. but once it's fully implemented we make sure everyone has the choice to have the same type of benefits that a congress member has. no longer can the pennsylvanians who had pre-existing conditions, can ever be denied health care because of pre-existing conditions. no longer if you get cancer or diabetes, can there be a limit, whatever the insurance company says is your limit per year for your health care, all of a sudden, they can stop providing it and for women, where so many, a majority of health care plans don't provide for maternity care that's no longer denied. since the affordable care act has been passed, health care had been growing, has now been
4:41 am
growing only 4%. more to be done. it's an imperfect bill. we'll have a much more healthy and productive work force because of it. >> joe sestak, thank you your your time. move over robin. there's a kid coming your job. b batkid. the incredible story behind the mask and the city that made the wish come true. to fully understand why the streets of san francisco -- >> you got to go way up there. >> reporter: you must take a step back. and listen to the story of a boy with superhero strength. >> going to be batman. >> you get to be batman? >> 5-year-old miles scott spent the majority of battling leukemia. >> he's beat an awful disease. that makes him a hero to me.

>> is ft. knox empty and did president kennedy's assassinator get away? author of "history decoded," the host of history's channel and author of this book. welcome this morning. >> thank you. >> in your boork you talk about then other conspiracies, i want to talk about the assassination of president lincoln. what did you learn? >> it's interesting. the family of abraham lincoln approached me through their lawyer. it was a family of john wilkes booth that shot lincoln. they said to me through their lawyer. everyone thinks 12 days after he died in a barn. we're going to tell you it's not true. our relative never died in a barn. he escaped, got away. he's not the one in the coffin, would you like to hear our
4:55 am
story? you better believe i want to hear that story. >> absolutely. >> what we did in the book, we didn't want to count down those top ten conspiracies, we want to give you the evidence. for instance, when you look at len can, there is a secret compartment. you open it up, this is the letter, obviously not the real one, a facsimile. in each chapter, you get to see that evidence. so when you go to ufos, you get to see the real government form they used to send you when you saw a ufo. you get the death certificate of jfk. there is nothing you can give for christmas or a hasn't ka gift. >> another mystery you uncover, ft. knox, you say it's empty. how is that possible? >> right. so here's the story the last time anyone saw the golden ft. knox was 1974.
4:56 am
i went there. we found guard there who said when he was guarding the gold, he asked his supervisors, supervisors, there is for the gold, no bullets in my gun and the supervisors said to him, don't worry, you don't need any bullets. there is no gold, are you not guarding anything. i was like, this is false, what's the story? no one seen it since 1974. senator huddleston was there, he says, himself, i don't know if it's there anymore. so it's one of those great mysteries. we show you all the evidence in the book. you get to decide for yourself if it's in there t. question remain, if it's there, why not let a camera crew go in and see it. >> we find often that the truth is stranger than fiction. have you found the things you discovered are really fantastic in. >> you foe what, sometimes there is a conspiracy, sometimes there is not. someone that says it's the government the free masons is reckless about it.
4:57 am
