house press secretary jay carney. they will be touting the merits of the affordable care act. we'll bring in michigan congressman mike rogers who is chairman of the house intelligence committee. congressman, i know your big focus is the security of the website. you have talked about that for months. after the month of technical fixes that the administration is engaged in, are you better about the security of the website? >> absolutely not. it is worse. they are out there selling that the fixes to the website makes your information safe and secure. that is just absolutely wrong. they have never stress tested the system and they are adding new code. when you add a new code it tis turbs the eco- system of healthcare.gov. we know that the site gets attacked thousands of times a day. and they have no standard way of making sure the penetrations if there are some are not widely spread throughout the system. none of that is happening and no minimum standard that the industry would accept in launching the website in private information. that ought to be the standard and higher. >> and congressman, we'll remind our viewers that the exchange you had with secretary sebelius about new cod

is congressman mike rogers, a republican from michigan and he is chairman of the house intelligence committee. congressmanthere is not a lot that takes may breath aaway in this town after having been here for 20 years now. this certainly takes the cake. i think it was in october of 2012. right after the 9/11 '12 attack. "new york times" reported the graphic thrown up on the screen that okay al qaeda related firefighters -- fighters were operating training camps near that diplomatic mission. received reports that islamic extremist groups were operating. he doesn't mention that report in the "new york times" investigation. >> yeah. it was shocking to me. and i have tried to do a thorough investigation of this some things that the administration said didn't happen and some on the other side of the aisle said did happen, i investigated those. i couldn't find evidence of it but to say to some conclusion that there was no al qaeda involvement or there was no sense of at least a degree of preplanning is mystifying to me. >> i'm going to play the reporter here. >> sure. >> he is going to say look, we were on the

congressman and former f.b.i. agent mike rogers, chairman of the house intelligence committee.poke with him last night in his office. chairman rogers, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> warner: as you know the president is reviewing surveillance policy o changes are going to happen coming out later this month. if he were seeking your counsel, what is the most profound thing you think he needs to address? >> part of the problem with where we're at is that we're fighting perception about what people think is happening versus what's actually happening. and so that's been our biggest challenge on the education piece. so i think the first round, we all want to agree that these programs have kept americans safe. they've kept our allies safe. there are multiple levels of oversight that no other intelligence service in the world has, like the united states intelligence oversight between the courts and the congress and the inspector general and then the fbi, the departments of justice, you name it, has it all. so i think what we can do is have some confidence builders fo

that's the word from the heads of the house and senate intelligence committees. the republican congressmanike rogers and democratic senator dianne feinstein said there are a record number of terror groups operating worldwide. they say those groups have also changed the way they communicate. and that it's less likely the united states will be able to detect an attack before it happens. congressman rogers said leaks about government intelligence gathering have hurt anti-terror efforts. it's been six months since ed snowden revealed the effort ops the national security agency phones' now congressman roger is investigating whether ed snowden was working alone or whether other governments may have played a role. catherine herridge is in washington. other governments to whom is he referring here? >> if you take a close review of the nasa nasa -- national security agency leaked documents they talk about the works overseas, and the chairman of the house intelligence committee, who gets regular brief examination -- briefings, says there is now evidence suggesting edward snowden had helped when he d

. >> reporter: we'll ask two members of the house intelligence committee, chairman mike rogers and congressman adam schiff how to strike the balance between security and privacy. >>> plus our sunday panelists make their predictions for the year ahead. in politics, entertainment, sports and more. all right now on "fox news sunday." >> and hello again from fox news in washington. it's been a tough year for obamacare with a disastrous website rollout and disappointing enrollment numbers. but the president's health plan faces even bigger challenges january 1st when folks actually start seeing doctors under the new system. we've invited two experts to discuss what happens now. former governor, vermont governor and dr. howard dean. and dr. scott gottlieb with the american enterprise institute. dr. gottlieb, what do you think happens on january 1 when folks who think they've been enrolled in the new obamacare system actually go to see their doctor? >> people will go and try to access health care and they won't be insured. they said they effectively want insurance companies to float people through the

joining me now, congressman michael mccall, chairman of the house homeland security and congressman adam schiff, a member of the house select intelligence committee. thanks for coming in on a snowy day. not always easy in washington. i want to start with merrill newman because i know his son is in your district and you had been back and forth with him. why did north korea seize him and why did they let him go? >> it's a very good question, and i'm not sure we'll ever know completely the answer. it may be as the north koreans have said that as a personal peek, they found out about his war record and pulled him off the plane. it may have something to do with iran, with the fact that north korea is not the focus of attention right now, that they often will grab people to gain attention, to get a world leader to come and rescue them from north korea. it may have something to do with the internal fight going on, the purge of the uncle of kim jong-un. so it may be purely internal north korean politics. it may be a shout to the rest of the world, we want you to pay attention to us and our nuclear program or it may be confined to something mr. newman sai

house intelligence committee. thanks for joining me, congressman. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to start with -- just to get youron this "new york times" piece and this analysis. >> well, i think the piece was accurate. several months ago, many of us got a classified briefing. which i think this piece clearly is in line with. unfortunately, look, what happened in benghazi was a terrible tragedy and we have to make sure we know what mistakes were made so this tragedy can never happen again. unfortunately, some of my republican colleagues seem to be hell bent on using this tragedy to kind of further their own political ends. they were wrong then and i think as the "new york times" article pointed out they are wrong now. >> one of the things that struck me, it's very complicated and that was what the administration was trying to -- saying look, we're giving the best information we have at the time. obviously it sounds -- as you read the piece, it's very clear the alliances are very unclear and who is connected to whom. it also seems that the concept of al qaeda has really become politicized in the way the republica

. >>> house intelligence committee chair mike rogers calls >>> house intelligence chair mike rogers calls it a sheer level of incompetence. what or who is he talking about? congressmanjoins us. good evening, sir. >> greta, great to see you. so sheer level of incompetence, what were you referring to? >> well, the level of security on this website is not even up to minimal standards in the private sector. and when you talk about the sheer sensitivity of the information that the hub has access to, think about all these different servers with really sensitive information goes to the hub. none of it has been stress tested. so they're adding new code constantly, which hasn't been vetted appropriately. and every time you add new code, it changes the ecosystem of the security of the entire website. none of that has been tested. so we know that this thing gets hit thousands of times a day by people trying to get in and get access, unauthorized access. they have no coordinate the effort on every single day to try to monitor and track that. as a matter of fact, they could not even provide someone, cms and hhs, the two folks responsible for the healthcare.gov website couldn't e

congressman mike rogers, as head of the house intelligence committee, has regular classified briefings and more significantly, he also has access to the raw intelligence data so that he can make his own assessments. one day after the attack, he told fox news on the record that there was no link to this anti-islam video, that the assault was a premeditated terrorist attack. and since he has maintained an on the record interviews with fox news that it was an al-qaeda-led assault and that the individuals being targeted by the f.b.i. have strong al-qaeda ties, we have confirmed separately through intelligence contacts that two of the primary suspects include individuals with historic ties to the al-qaeda senior leadership in pakistan. they include a former guantanamo bay detainee and one who was a form body guard for the al-qaeda network. so that is a significant body of evidence to assess when considering this new report by the "new york times." >> is there any evidence that the video was to blame fort attack? >> what's striking in the "new york times" story is that it seems just to make

congressman mike rogers is chair of the house intelligence committee. >> there was some level of preplanning, we know that. there was son aspiration to conduct the attack by al qaeda in libya, we know that. >> four americans including ambassador chris stevens were killed in the benghazi attack. >>> and there was a massive surge in signup for obamacare health coverage in recent weeks. more than 1 million americans will have insurance starting wednesday. as chip reid reports, it's a major turnaround after a troubled rollout. >> reporter: for president obama vacationing in hawaii, it was the best health care news he's received in months. officials call it a welcome surge of 975,000 people signing up for health insurance coverage in december. that compares to only 125,000 sign-ups in october and november combined, largely the result of a disastrous start for the healthcare.gov website. on the sunday talk shows democrats predicted the number will continue to improve. former vermont democratic governor howard dean is also a doctor. >> i think the first year's going to be more successful than we th

congressman rogers, chairman of the house intelligence committee said today the assessment is that he's being held by part of the republican guard. but frankly it's an assessment and it's an old assessment. in the absence of evidence that he is dead, the u.s. government has to assume that bob is alive and make efforts to bring him home. the family today said those efforts have not been satisfactory. and today the family in a sort of tas et acknowledgment of his cia work said it is time for the u.s. government to step up and bring one of its own home. >> brown: ted bridis of the associated press, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> woodruff: now to north korea, the execution of one of the isolated country's highest ranking officials is raising questions about its stability.

house intelligence committee. and he's not exactly pleased with the kind of response he's been getting from the obama administration about security. and depending on where you look, congressman, you know, people on the right to some extent say there was never even any thought to getting security in there. and people on the left say, you know, when i had a kid, should i have gotten rid of my kid when i saw a few glitches? no, you fix the glitches. it's a wide spectrum. what wept into the planning for security? >> well, unfortunately, not much. this isn't about wanting the site to fail itself. you're pushing people. people have lost their health care. they need to be able to access this site in order to get on and get a policy by january. so that's our concern. and what you've done is you've opened them up to a level of risk using this website i've never seen. standard site of this size would be about 500,000 lines of code, roughly, maybe a little less. the code in healthcare.gov is about 5 million lines of code. and it has never been thoroughly tested. and so we know of a very low level access problem and meaning that somebody could use the site today as we know it to get inf
