0 >> if you cannot watch a movie without texting, then you have a problem: adiction. >> i agree. get away from it. enjoy the moment. watch the movie. >> absolutely. it is just two hours. put it down. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it is monday, october 21. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. nearly two weeks after a disastrous rollout, today president obama will address the obamacare disaster website. but will he admit the failures or can we expect more white house spin? >> the spin stops here, doesn't it? meanwhile, if you're h.r. fed -- if you're already fed up with the government this story will make you angryer. >> the charge the campaign 16% interest? >> lawmakers using campaign cash we give them for their own personal slush funds. wait until you hear this. supporters -- just like i am right here. this isn't the first time. thanks, steve. remember when he signed a bill and when the doctors -- he had doctors and the kids next to him and all the support next to him. today he's going to go through points, what actually happened. he's going to talk about how people are going to expect better health care, of course, and kind of make the case again. >> this is going to be kind of a change in strategy. you know, for the last couple of weeks people have gone on and the website doesn't work and millions of people logged on and people are p.o.'d. you know what? today apparently the president is going to offer a mea culpa. essentially he's taking a page from nordstrom's. more customer service. in fact, if you look at the affordable care act website right now it says we're listening and improving every day. and in fact apparently they have called in a whole bunch of experts from the tech world to help them. too bad they didn't call them in to start with. >> they said on the website, our team is bringing some of the best and the brightest from both inside and outside government to scrub in with the team and help improve. >> why hurry? >> the president of the united states is going to admit he's just as frustrated as everyone had the buzz term and the talking points from jack lew on down that the president is just as angry and frustrated as all of you that after three years since its passage it is still not ready for prime time. his director of office of management and budget says i can't even guarantee this is going to be ready on december 15. and as andrea mitchell, of all people, said there is a small window of opportunity for the president. this is his chance to get this up now. you can't even look at the policy itself if you can't log on. they said there's 476,000 people who have enrolled. they haven't enrolled. they've gotten on. they have applied. people said it shows there is a level of interest. yeah. if there are people who don't have insurance there is a level of interest. but for this to work, here's the thing. on thursday they are going to have a house energy meeting. they're going to talk about this horrible rollout. you know what? she can't make it. apparently she's got a conflict of interest because the day before she's going to be in boston. you know what? bipartisan -- both sides are steamed she can't make it. first the dems. >> ultimately secretary sebelius will testify before congress. you know that. i don't know the circumstances with this last-minute let's do it in a few days. >> as far as the affordable care act, as i call it, the fact is that, yes, what has happened is unacceptable in terms of the glitches. >> do you think? >> yeah. >> it's unacceptable the glitches, but that is the new talking point. instead of saying do we have to go another six months. and not to harp on the president for golfing yesterday? how could you be golfing certainly i think everybody is frustrated and rightfully so. >> like us on facebook. we're going to monitor a lot of your responses. when the president realized this was a glitchy situation, couldn't he have looked magnanimous, conciliatorry and say i have an idea, like the corporate mandate put on hold for a year, why don't we put on hold for a year the individual mandate. that would give a sense of we're coming together in washington as opposed to i'm not giving up anything, not even negotiating. >> i have a feeling that while that is a great idea, he's not going to do it because he would be saying the republicans were right. >> exposure for the flaws that are and how it will affect premiums. >> "60 minutes" last night had an eye-opener. most people think it is illegal for politicians to profit from their office. that is not the case. we've heard of political action committees, okay. you send in campaign money. apparently congress has created these loopholes called leadership pacs. whatever money they get in their leadership pacs, they can spend that dough any way they want. stevecroft confronted a democrat from california by the name of grace napolitano yesterday who thanks to loopholes has essentially lent herself money and then paid herself 18% interest to herself. she's made close to a quarter of a million dollars. i think she's a little surprised to see him. watch this exchanges. >> you loan money to your campaign and then charge the campaign 18% interest? >> that is correct, to be able to do a lot of things i have to do were not feasible unless i did what i had to do. at that point that was what was recommended and that's what i went with. >> i don't think anything is wrong with loaning your campaign money but collecting 18% interest from your campaign. >> would you go out and get a loan and not get charged interest? >> still 18% on $228,000 in interest. >> you don't like the 18%? >> that's what the mafia gets. >> it isn't like i really profited. i still own the same house, i drive a small car. i am not a billionaire or millionaire for that matter. >> do your campaign contributors know you were paying back a loan charging the campaign committee 18%. >> you don't go out and publicize that but they know i had a campaign debt. >> good come-back. i charge 18% but i'm driving a small car. the republican of louisiana got called on that too. he said someone has got to do the job. >> a combined, i think, of $100,000 last night. >> it was a great "60 minutes" last night. gupta tried to get dick cheney to admit those dumb ideas you came up with because you're a bad picker; right? we'll see that later on. cheney would have no part of it. >> heather nauert has some news. >> good morning to you. i hope everyone had a great weekend. i have some headlines to bring you now. remember those two escaped prisoners? they are now back behind bars this morning and they may soon get familiar company because the authorities are hunting for the people who helped them hide. charles walker and joseph jenkins nabbed at a hotel in panama city, florida, over the weekend and it couldn't come soon enough for the mom of one of their victims. listen to this. >> my heart dropped knowing my loved ones was lying down in the ground and he's getting out, you know, as if it is just a kick in the face. >> these guys were released when fake court documents claimed their sentences had been revoked. in sydney, australia, it is under a state of emergency at this hour. 56 wildfires are raging across the country. and already hundreds of homes have been destroyed in the region. take a look at this. it is just so bad that this is video we're about to see from inside a day care center. the woman who was filming was trapped by a wall of flames. incredibly she was able to make it out alive. we'll keep watching that one as it develops. former nfl star aaron hernandez is back in court at 2:30 eastern time today. prosecutors want the judge to step aside. they say he has a history of hostility toward the lead prosecutor in the case. the defense is calling this an intimidation tactic and says the request is simply ridiculous. hernandez pleaded not guilty to murder. a fight between a jets and patriot fan caught on camera and in the middle of it all was a woman. she gets slugged right in the face. >> oh boy, look at that. that is a jets fan. he decked the female patriots fan during a brawl at met life stadium. this happened after the game. police then grabbing the guy. the state police say they are investigating. those are your headlines at this hour. see you guys in 25 minutes. >> when it is on tape, it makes it easy for the cops. >> easy for the cops to find that guy. absolutely. >> a dozen minutes after the top of the hour. thanks for joining us on this monday. coming up, he made it his life's mission to take down fox news but david brock's new goal might be his boldest one yet. we'll detail. >> who said the shutdown was a bad thing? if you're a government worker, you may have gotten paid twice.
