prompting presidential spokesman jay carney to lowball expectations just before the numbers were released on wednesday. >> i can only tell you we fully expect the numbers will be even lower than anticipated because of the significant challenges caused by the website. >> reporter: republicans seizing on the botched rollout. >> this was a monumental mistake. >> reporter: to claim, it's not just the website. government cannot provide health care. >> when you look at obama care, frankly, i don't think there's a way to fix it. >> reporter: and those disappointing enrollment figures not the only eye-popping numbers to come out yesterday. when asked about the cost of what that website is, so far, the chief accountant said $600 million. now, to put that in perspective, that's four-times what apple paid to develop all of our iphones. george? >> okay, jim. thanks very much. >>> let's get the day's other top stories from josh. >> hi, george. we're going to begin with some breaking news. we saw it at the top of the show. several homes near tampa being evacuated right now because of the sinkhole that

moments ago, white house pretty secretary jay carney denied that claim. good morning america will have much more on the double down books which comes out next week. but the show, good morning america, is coming up at 7:00. >>> a fresno area woman is suing mcdonald's after suffering burns from hot coffee that spilled in ler lap while she was going through the drive through. a jury award stella lyback nearly $3 billion for her burns 20 years ago. back then, mcdonald's kept its coffee between 108 and 190 degrees. franchises now keep their coffee about ten degrees cooler, but it's still as much as 30 degrees cooler than the coffee you make at home. 70-year-old joan fino wants to change that. >> i went in to get coffee and, you know, it's their fault. it was too hot and the lids weren't on right. >> her attorney admits she didn't suffer million dollar injuries, but they're suing for millions, anyway, claiming mcdonald's is still putting profits over people's safety. mcdonald's has not commented on the soup. >> when i buy a coffee, i have to stick it in the mic

jay carney said there are a range of options being looked at around washington. they no this matters. the president's poll numbers have dropped dramatically. 54% disapprove of the job he's doing right now as president, only 39% approve. bill clinton coming out so directly, so clearly, so confidently. he knew what he was doing. does that make the situation worse for president obama? >> he did know what he was doing. that's an important point. it makes the situation worse politically for the president. from a policy perspective, president clinton was speaking a self-evident truth in the sense that president obama had already gone on record as you know, erin, saying we need to fix this and i want to fix it but what's happening here? president clinton saying he needs to keep that promise. dick durbin a close friend of the president of the united states, a leader in the senate. not in a tough race on the ballot last year, doesn't need to have panic. now you have senior democrats who have no reason to worry a tough re-election ahead of them being more open in their cri

jay carney actually responded to that. >> the president has instructed his team to come up with options for him to review. and you can expect a decision from him and an announcement from him sooner rather than later. you just heard our dana bash say that might come as soon as tomorrow. are we going to get a direct answer on this issue? america, you can keep your plan? >> yes. you absolutely will. president obama is committed to making sure that the people who were told throughout that democrats in congress and president obama said if you liked your plan you'd be able to keep it, they're working and will have, i believe, a fix that is going to address that. but let's also -- you mentioned president clinton. what president clinton also said in that interview is that he thinks we need to continue to move forward and work together on fully implementing the affordable care act. and what we have to do is make sure -- let's not make presumptions. you indicated that folks are finding that their plans are more expensive. that simply isn't the case. >> for some people those who are complaining it

carney is speaking at the white house right now. >> are you speaking to countries and now they have left this subject. moments ago, this is from our correspondents that are in the white house briefing. the question is any sense of what happened? >> the answer was the president was briefed on the incident. we are in touch of federal almost agents on the ground. lapd is leading the response. when i did that, it powered through. we also have an eyewitness account who was on the ground and saw much of this. the person's name is brian atomic. he was boarding a spirit airlines gate 32. the 30s gates are all there together. we saw the spot where it was on the ground. this witness was at 43. imagine a rounded area. circular area with gates all around the circle he said he was getting ready to fly to chicago for his brother's wedding. away from the secured area. he went through an emergency exit to the tarmac i heard two gunshots from the same area where the people had been running and screaming. when he got outside he said buses showed to help evacuate passengers. he saw the wounded tsa age

white house spokesman jay carney said that was always the plan. thanks for tweeting us. if you have stories you want to hear more about or questions you'd like to ask there are all kinds of ways to reach us, twitter, facebook and more. we'll try to answer on the air. >>> it's never too early to talk 2016. we asked how do you feel about governor chris christie in 2016? steve says if christie is nominated i'll be voting down ballot. not the top. don't need another government official. >> we want to take a quick minute to honor some of the men and women in uniform this veterans day weekend. we got a lot of pictures veterans sent to us. let's get there as many as we can quickly. josh faulkner served three tours of iraq in the army. full screen 2 mark kinney. the third one, michael verardo. his wife said here's my brave husband double amputee saluting during the national anthem. fourth picture, ryan presnall, u.s. army, west point graduate. the fifth and final picture, captain dan bartel. killed in afghanistan last year. >> we thank you all of our vets past and present. thank

carney said it is very low it is very, very low. if it is small enough, there are huge economic consequences for everybody's insurance this will be the stepping off calls for democrat calling for subsidies. we have a trillion on the debt to pay for. and the estimate to pay for obama care to keep the market juiced for everybody else we are looking at double thachl we have seen the float in the huffington post and democrats and obama administration looks for ways to salvaging the launch. and that looks very expensive. is it possible that the administration is down playing the numbers to get a little bit off of the ground it would look good? >> you don't think that people in washington d.c. would cynically manage expectations? >> what they are doing is, you thought it was only four in delaware, it is really eight. we are doing better. what they are going to focus on is how many people are going to want to get in. it would be funny because of all of the millions of people who lost policies as a result of this law, they thought, the admi

. >> we mentioned that jay carney is briefing with the reporters. and meanwhile, president obama getting advice from former president bill clinton. hoo calls him the explaner in chief. did you hear this from today? >> i personally believine if it takes changing the law, the president should honor the commit the that the federal government made and let them keep what they got. >> the president should honor that commitment. is that a policy shift here or freelancing on his own? we want to know what you think. >> will bill clinton change president obama's mind? >> that is our twitter question. send me a tweet@billhemmer. >> and me at alisyn camerota. >>> they fought implementation of obama care and now a shift from the gop. house republicans set to vote on a bill to allow americans to keep their health care plans. that vote is scheduled for friday and house republicans proposing legislation to delay the individual man date just as the president delayed it for employers. >> the senate are calling for government watch dogs to launch an investigation on d

we heard deinousiation from kathleen sebelius and jay carney saying that the upton bill is dangerous and damaging to the market and infeasible logistically and then yesterday, the president announced a fix where he is imposing by decree most of what the upton bill accomplishes. it is puzzling and the president's credibility is shot on this and he earned every bit of this problem. >> the numbers on the screen are to allow the vote. the democrats vote numbers are not on the upton bill but we'll bring that to you. julie, we understand today, the president is meeting with the ceo's and executives from the insurance companies and shbt shouldn't he have done that sonar. yesterday when he came out with the fix. they put out a letter actually the president's fix threatens to destabilize the market. >> as i said in the beginning, i am not supportive of the president's behavior and no excuse to allow the debacle it got to and no means am i suggesting that the president is on top or the white house or people working for him did a good job implementing the signature accomplishments. i am not. to

>> greg, the reason that jay carney laughed at the suggestion that there was a combination or some connection between this vote to allow the president to do what every american thinks when you get a majority of the vote you should be able to actually elevate judges. that's kind of the american way. i don't think most people in the public think that's a problem. they think that's a -- if it didn't work like that, they think it would be a problem. the reason why this ted cruz -- why ted cruz thought there was something to this is because he just got to washington. i can tell you, i've been in discussions with democratic senators going back to the beginning the first obama administration when it was obvious a lot of his appointments were going to be blocked to judgeships and so forth. this has been going on for years. to their credit, the republicans said, we're blocking the three nominees to the d.c. circuit for -- >> the democrats did the same thing to bush -- >> no, they didn't, they did not, greg, they only did it on the merits. they never said we're blocking people because they have an "r"

. >> jay carney is having a briefing now. in a moment ago heated exchange with johnathon carl responding to documents that the white house knew there was no benefit in terms of time to enroll with obama care with paper work than the website but made people feel better. >> john, we never said that you the impoint of the process wouldn't go through healthcare.gov. >> that is not true, jay. look at your own words on october. roll over the phone ore enroll in person. on october 23rdrd. four ways to enroll in the exchanges. you didn't say go to healthcare.gov. you said four ways. it is by mail or website. you said four different ways. it is only one way through healthcare.gov. >> you can, have this. >> that's what is here. >> you can say it by yourself. >> i am trying to understand why the president gave the american public the impression and told them they can apply. >> they can call and the process is taken over from there. >> how do they enroll. >> when their paper work is processed on healthcare.gov. >> that is continuing righ

jay carney said we didn't break that promise. if your insurance down graded it, it is not our fault, it is the insurance company's fault, is he accurate? >> no, no one said what they say they said. the president said what we said you could keep your plan if it hasn't changed since the laws passed. in the 27 sound bites that we played from the president did you hear that end part? no, what we hear in the sound bite. you can keep your plan if you like your plan period. he said that numerous, numerous times. and the whole new apse if the plan changes at all, we are talking about at all. one there. if the premium changes and if the detuktible shifts or change at all. then you are automatically dropped from that plan. we are talking about right now, 3.5 million cancellation letters are going out and that potential gets higher and that doesn't include the people affected by the employer man date that is delayed by a year. >> the president said something like two dozen times and maybe more. they are two dozen times if you like your plan

carney is getting questions about whether the president's credibility is on the line. >> it is only involving five percent it is still millions. doesn't this matter? >> it is a portion of the portion of the five percent. >> it is not. >> for precision sake. what i can tell you, that the president campaigned on and argued for and signed in law the affordable care act. >> reporter: he went on to say this will reduce the deficit and means millions more people who get health insurance that don't have it now. and as they make the case to the american people. various democrats like mary landrieu and red states are having a hard time defending it and that's why they want a change. >> they want a fix for the broken promise. ed henry, thank you so much. >> reporter: good to see you. >>> i have to wonder if you have regrets at all that you fail to heed the warnings and ignored the members of congress and proceeded to open the changes on october 1st, immediately followed by a taxpayer promotional tour to tell everyone it is sort of a great problem to have. kansasans don't think they are great

. >> what jay carney seemed to be saying moments ago, these things are reversible. we can't verify that you are stopping these production on the way to nuclear weapons, the game is over. we will hold it over your head and get tough again and you will be sorry. >> the minute you lift the sanctions, other countries in the united nations ornato allies they are eager to lift sanctions for their own economic purposes. everybody will rush in to lift quickly and sanctions are the only leverage against iowa ran. we'll get a deal. president obama will get a deal that is not a good deal and in the middle east in five years will be having nuclear weapons and has one thing that the world needs for the economy is oil. our response should be missile defense and develop our own resources and we don't need to be in the middle of all of the crisis. >> very interesting to see if they go forward to this. >> he admyselfed presidents from ein einenhour to obama. and reverend billy graham is at it dpaen. his mission today. >> she disappeared as a teenager and her family never gave up hop

that's what jay carney was doing there. they're trying to compare it to mitt romney's situation oh so many years ago. in the early days people shopped around, talked to their spouse, and then they make a decision closer to january 1st. we'll see how all that pans out. but as you say, these early numbers are embarrassing. it's nothing short of embarrassing for the administration. day one, six people enrolled. and as you say, this is from the administration's own internal notes at the health and human services department. it was released by a republican critic, darrell issa, but he's getting information from the administration, and it's interesting because it may explain why kathleen sebelius and other top officials have been refusing to give us these numbers. take a listen. >> i want to give you reliable, confirmed data from every state and from the federal marketplace. we have said that we will do that on a monthly basis by the middle of the month. you will have that data, but i don't want to turn over anything that is not

jay carney brief at 1:00. >> henry chow never saw the memo that said the website wasn't secure so you have daueling hearings going on and we will take a quick break and be back with more on america's newsroom. b1 the hearings continue and they are aware of the apparently 16 reports of the health care.gov, which is fine beyond what we have heard of. martha: we are moving on to happening now. have a great day. jenna: a fox news alert. capital hearing right now. another hearing before the homeland security committee. lawmakers are talking about the possible security risks. this is pressure from the white house for both sides of the aisle to fix the health website and the law perhaps as well.

the stability of website, jay carney says is improving. once it does, they think there will be this huge relief that will sweep across the nation as people get on to the website, you know, it will be okay? i will have my health coverage. and it is plan, x, y and z. >> you still won't be able to have your own doctor. you might not even have your own hospital. you may have to travel a long way under the new exchange contract because half the hospitals haven't even signed up yet. you don't know. you will pay higher costs. you will have less access and, you know, you're not going to be secure in giving private information. you're going to be subject to identity theft. >> i gotcha. let me ask you this politically how do you think this is going to go? do you think this vote will pass in the house tomorrow, the fred upton proposal? >> i think it will pass in the house. i don't know whether it will be considered in the senate. i have my doubts about that. i have tend to think this law is going to continue to have more problems as people, you know,

when asked about the other 20%, jay carney explained the website isn't such a big deal after all. >> when you talk about the two who may not stay with the website there are a variety of reasons that may not be the case. as hard as we work and will continue to work on improving the website and its functionality it has always been the case we need to make sure there are other avenues for people with complex situations or people who would rather not perform this kind of purchase online. bill: the vast majority of users were able to use the website in november and the website will be greatly improved by month's end. martha: managing expectations. it will be a vastly improved experience. 80 per of them you hear ratcheting down expectations. so we'll see what happens with that. what do you think about this? should people be fired? the president you would imagine be very upset if he said at that news conference he didn't know that this wasn't going to work. he never would have gone out on a limb. you have got to be unhappy with the people advising you in the west wing saying yes, we have go

>> jay carney said the president did know yesterday. he had the mckinsey report briefing. and we don't know what took place, but it is 14 slides and shows concerns. did he continue to follow the things they suggested to work out? when he said it hit him as a surprise, the problems with the website, it is legit to think they knew more. >> thank you. >> good luck with the bangaenga and steelers! >> one university is dropping health coverage for all students rather than offer new plans with much higher cost. we are live from the school in mary land. how is this going so far, peter? >> reporter: we are getting a mixed reaction. the plans were $49 per semester and more than half of the students were covered but only $5,000 per incident. not enough to comply. it would go up to $1800 per year per student. the university is recognizing that students enter the mary land health exchange. and one student blogged this is a way to make sure the cost of the aca is balanced out. not all students are update. >> i think the university made the right decision as a university. if they were t

jay carney touched on this the other day. you may not be able to keep your doctor or hospital you like either. >> that's right. there are three basic untruths that president obama told. the first was that you could keep your plan. the second was that you could keep your doctor and the third was the asmg family was going to save an enormous amount of money. none of these three things will prove to be true for a large number. americans. because of that the sort of political case of this whole thing is going to come apart even if the website gets up and running and works perfectly. martha: you look at these hospitals that are not on the plans or on very few plans like cedars-sinai in los angeles, the may oh clinic, the seattle children's hospital are not going to be part of most of these plans. that begs a big question here. is what we are going to end up with sort of a rich medical system and then the poor and middle class medical system and is that what the president had in mind here? >> yes, that was the unspoken secret about

martha: i don't know what else jay carney can do. he's in a very, very difficult position. >> he's got a tough job as press secretary and they need to say the president misspoke. that goes a long way toward forgiveness andletting the public know you are -- and letting the public know you are honest mistake. >> i would say we didn't count on the insurance companies canceling so many policy because they didn't live up to the rule of obamacare. it's an insurance company issue which probably need more regulation. which is wha what obamacare did. martha: that's like saying the fed moved interest rates but we had no idea it would be a problem. >> he would say you keep your plan if months, but a lot of it depend on what insurance companies plan to do. martha: that would have scared the bejesus out of people. you would have an entirely separate meaning. he didn't misspeak. he knowingly lied and he did so for political reasons. we know he knowingly lied because his staff admitted it. read the "wall street journal" piece. >> the "wall street j

we'll bring all that to you live, jay carney when he does brief. they clearly at the white house will be waiting to hear definitively that the situation is under control and whether this was a sole shooter or not, the um in of people injured. they will not want to go out until they have a pretty good handle on it. the first information clearly will come from the white house. homeland security now coordinating all of this. lisa monaco is the new counter-terror and national security deputy for this. the first woman to hold that post. she'll be reporting to the president directly and also through susan rice, the national security adviser. this is a white house that has been under siege politically. when things like this happen, everything stops. this becomes the top priority. right now knbc still -- kristen, i'm sorry, do you have more information? >> yeah, we just got this statement from the white house. i will read it to you. quote, the president has been briefed about the shooting at lax. we will continue to stay in touch with federal and local par

unitedhealthcare. >>> right now jay carney talking about iran. >> pursue a diplomatic opening to see if it's possible to resolve this issue peacefully. >> any assurance secretary kerry can provide lawmakers on the hill when he speaks to them that would persuade them to hold off on tightening sanctions? >> secretary kerry and under-secretary of state for political affairs wendy sherman are briefing the senate banking committee tomorrow. that's part of a broader effort to consult with congress and update them on p5 plus 1 negotiations as well as our consultations with our allies. when it comes to the issue of new sanctions legislation, it's important to remember no one is suggesting an open ended delay for new sanctions because there may come a point where additional sanctions are necessary. at the same time it is important for congress to reserve ability to legislate in order to give p 5 s 1 negotiations the best chance of obtaining our goal, preventing iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. again, this is not about being for or against sanctions. this administration imposed the most c

jay carney said the president has asked his team to come up with solutions for the affordable care act and we can expect an announcement soon. >> given this hearing in the "washington post" a lot of flurry and the countdown to see what happens december 1st with this. can't imagine what pressure is happening behind the scenes. we know the pressure put on to get this right. >> they said at the hearing they could not guarantee, kept ducking the question of whether to get it right by november 30th. >> we've got chris van hollen to discuss what happened in this hearing and his feelings regarding the deadline, the self-imposed deadline they placed in getting this up and running by november 30th. also, the latest out of florida, as marisa alexander, after her 20 year prison sentence. she fired a warning shot at her allegedly abusive husband. she could be set free pending a new trial. >>> and the firestorm over what "washington post" columnist richard cohen wrote about bill de blasio and his family. cohen says it's not racist even though some people would gag at the thought of a interracial ma

jay carney was asked about on gg enda through congress. there's concern if the president passes this executive order it would take the pressure off congress to act. should the president sign this executive order? >> absolutely he should. it was a campaign promise of president obama's and we can do both at the same time. >> does it take the pressure off congress? >> i don't think it does. it's not the end solution. it will cover companies that are current government contractors but there's a large swath of the corporate america that won't be covered by an executive order. the president should sign the executive order and should sign it as soon as possible and congress should pass it so the president can sign it too. >> i want to ask you about a new campaign that you all are going to be launching, love conquers hate. you have a lot of big names in hollywood helping you out with this. tell me what this is about. >> look, only a few months ago, russia passed a horrendous piece of legislation, we've even violence across the country skyrocket. w

moments ago in his daily briefing white house secretary jay carney commented on the current p5 plus 1 talks with iran. here is a little bit about what he had to say. >> in exchange for concrete verifiable measures to address p5 plus 1 concerns during the first step p5 plus 1 would consider limited, targeted, reversible relief that does not affect core sanctions architecture. that core sanctions actexture would remain um there's comprehensive ver viable agreement that addresses concerns. if iran does not live up to its commitments, the temporary modest relief would be terminated and we'd be in a position to rampette up the pressure by adding new sanctions. >> very simply the white house looking at potential sang relief for iran. another headline talked about during that briefing, botched rollout of health care website that continues to plague the obama administration. in the latest senate hearing on obama care, the criticism didn't let up. >> let me say right off the bat, this is unacceptable. it has been dispointing to hear members of the administration say they didn't see the problem

what jay carney is referring to, how can the president do this, how can hhs do this. i don't completely understand but there's ways they can make this request of the insurance companies. we'll see what happens. lets not forget what happens on the individual market is a smaller piece of the overall question, do you have an ability to go on a website and buy a plan. are there enough young and healthy people do this to make it work. the president's credibility has been hurt by this. you've got democrats disunited. all of this at a time when they are trying to win the argument, no, government can and should do something this big address society. that's also what's under fierce attack. >> they have just starting voting on the upton vote. within five minutes we might well know how many democrats will abandon the white house. see the house floor there. democrats wanted political cover, something to vote for. argued seriously against the vote. they said it was basically a trojan horse killing obama care. it's hard for them to be defending obama care. i'll be talking to bob ca

the press secretary jay carney likely to face more questions about obama care and the political tell-all book "double rap."

carney likely to get lots of questions on obama care and the president's message change. and we'll go there live as soon as it begins. also right now, millions of voters across the country are going to the polls. we have some big city mayoral races. a couple of high profile gubernatorial races. some interesting initiatives on the ballots as well and right now, a stun ining admission fro the mayorover toronto. rob foshd, after a vague public apology over the weekend, he admitted to reporters today he has smoked crack-cocaine. president obama modifies a key promise he made about health care reform again. the president insisted people who don't like their health care plan could keep it. that turned out not to be the case and in remarks last night, the president tweaked the message. >> if you have or had wup of these plans before the affordable care act came into law, and you really liked that plan, what we said was you could keep it. if it hasn't changed since the laws passed. so we wrote into the affordable care act, your grandfathered in on that plan, but if the insurance

[laughter] until thursday was a joke when jay carney tried to explain why the new health-insurance is taken away from new it is a good thing. [laughter] he actually said you can choose any health plan you want so long as it is the health plan the government is mandating which is the joke in real life so that exceeds irony but obama is not even a liberal he gave a speech to a joint speech he bid at the elections but then explained there was no need for the male and basically said i am here to change america. and did galactic history then followed with the revolution. and before he enacted all this made him a social democrat on the european model. very unusual. what is a social democrat? the famous in the dough after he loses the election the labor party leader churchill's leader of the opposition goes to the men's room of the house of commons standing alone in the house of commons. that is as good as it gets. [laughter] >> then he goes to the urinal 15 stalls over and says feeling bit standoffish? churchill says not at all but it seems every time you see something large you want to cut

white house spokesman jay carney said they haven't really-- released enrollment fillings because the numbers have to be checked and accurate and he downplayed expectations. >> let me just tell you now, november 1. we don't expect those numbers to be very high. and we never did. but they're going to be even lower because of the challenges we've had with the web site. >> reporter: angered to learn that figures are compiled daily after being told there weren't any, the republican chair of the house ways and means committee today demanded all enrollment data by 5 p.m. or else that it could be subpoenaed. last word, scott, nothing had been provided. >> pelley: sharyl attkisson in our washington newsroom, thank you sharyl. so why didn't the president know that his signature program was in such trouble? we'll talk to his former chief of staff. a tiny drug company believes that this pill could go a long way towards stocking the meth epidemic. and the storm that swamped texas blew into the east. when the "cbs evening news" continues. when i first got shingles it started on my back. and i had

jay carney is having with reporters challenging things that we're reporting, that of course, is out there. the president went on the road this week to try to defend it. a very sharp defense. >> help from people like oracle and some of the top companies. >> they brought in tech experts yesterday. they said somebody from google coming in. but again, the problem is the introduction for most americans to the affordable care act has not been a good one. and that is impressions have to change if this law is going to work. >> you pointed ot out the president promised if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance. that's not true for those who get individual coverage. they're a small portion, but they're still about 3 million people. >> that we know so far. we think that number will be more like 10 or 15 million. >> what about the promise that the president has made that if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. >> this is all again, it's not a broken website. that's not the only problem. americans are finding out about the affordable care act for the first time many americans,

jay carney says the president dismissed the idea out of hand. i know for a fact that president obama never considered this, never thought about it, never entertained it. the vice president has been a partner of his from the 2008 campaign on, an excellent governing partner and excellent campaign partner. so again, campaigns test everything but as the book itself says this was never considered by the president. >> obama's former senior adviser, david plouffe, also denies any serious intent. plouffe tweeted "never any, any consideration of vice president of hillary rodham clinton switch." >>> congress is ramping up its investigation into the terror attacks on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya, as you'll recall, four americans including the u.s. ambassador to libya tide in that ferocious attack. and republicans critical of the white house response on the night of september 11th have demanded access to witnesses. well now they'll get their chance in just a couple of weeks, cia operatives who were on the ground that night will share new detailness
