they are undisciplined. ♪ >> it is friday october 13th and this is "fox and friends" first at 4:00 am, thank you for getting up super early and joining us today. let's get our top story, congress couldn't get it done so donald trump is taking repealing and replacing into his own hands signing an executive order targeting obamacare. what is different this time around? >> reporter: the white house announced it plans to start making payments to health insurers in an order known as cost-sharing reduction. those payments which donald trump threatened are a key part of obamacare and help reduce health insurance co-pays and deductibles for a lot of middle-class americans. the white house as it decided
1:02 am
end those payments because congress never designated specific funding to pay for it. explaining in a statement there is no appropriation for cost-sharing reduction payments to insurance companies under obamacare. in light of this analysis the government cannot lawfully make cost-sharing reduction payments. this could end immediately and that will rattle the already unsteady insurance marketplaces which will add pressure on congress to act. democrats are already blasting the move and some promising to sue the administration over the decision. chuck schumer said in a statement having failed to reveal the law in congress the president is sabotaging the system using a wrecking ball to single-handedly rip apart our healthcare system. in addition to ending the cost-sharing payment yesterday afternoon donald trump signed an executive order to expand access to healthcare by allowing individuals and small employers
1:03 am
to band together and buy health insurance across state lines. >> this will allow thousands of small business employers to have the same purchasing power as large employers to get more affordable and generous insurance options for their workers. >> the white house is describing the latest moves as the first steps to repealing and replacing obamacare which it is still pushing congress to get done. >> in the meantime donald trump is taking a scalpel to obamacare with new options for americans. karl rove breaks down how the president plans to reshape the nation's healthcare system. >> he told the department of labor to find a way to expand the ability for people to use association health plans. if you are a fast food operator or landscape operator or cattle operator you could join other people in your industry across state lines and provide insurance to all the employees
1:04 am
and get the same discounts. there are limits to how much you can do underregulation but it is a good step and the short-term limited duration insurance policies of people who by for a short time between jobs can't get insurance in the exchange and health reimbursement arrangements allow these accounts so players set up to pay for co-pays and premiums, these are all things that will help people get insurance. >> karl rove brings out his whiteboard. donald trump is expected to rip up the iran nuclear deal. this would put congress in charge of taking action. lawmakers would have to decide on re-imposing sanctions. fox news military analyst lieutenant colonel oliver north says this is the right move. spot >> the iranian nuclear deal is

1:08 am
doubt that you are operating off of contacts, leaks, but the advice i would say, develop better sources. i am not quitting today. i don't believe i am being fired today. >> reporter: kelly's first meeting with the press corps on the record so kind of unusual a general long known in military circles saying his role as chief of staff is the hardest job he ever had. donald trump doubling down on his fight with the media tweeting fake news is going all out in order to demean and denigrate, got facts to back him up. according to a new study 62% of donald trump's media coverage is negative, 62%. heather: over a year now.

1:16 am
thanks for joining us. this family was taken back in 2012. the children were born in captivity. what do we know about who took? >> the how connie network likely pick them up when the family was on an adventure tour when they were backpacking through the mountainside, one of those dangerous countries, they were picked up and have been moved over the course of years between pakistan and afghanistan. heather: the time they have been held in captivity there have been youto videos, pleas from their captors to do certain things but fast-forward to 2017 and you have them free. why do you think now? >> probably what happened, the us military had information regarding the precise location and they needed to do something immediately and that is what we
1:17 am
saw even though we saw the pakistani military conduct the rescue operation on the vehicle hostages were being transported in. this was a us-led operation. what was likely happening was the hostages were following by us surveillance in afghanistan and saw them crossing the border and they needed to do something. the reason it was a us-led operation, the pakistanis are not competent enough to track terrorist targets or go after hostages like this. heather: have they been is willing to help us out and why is that changing? as a result of the trump administration putting pressure on pakistan? >> it used to be the case when hostage was located, if there was any chance of negotiation to get the release the previous administration would go for that. i was part of a number of
1:18 am
operations where we knew these guys were operated and were told to hold off on that. what we know is negotiations were taking place for years to get them released coming in the end it never happened so it is important an operation was conducted immediately to rescue them. heather: i know you just answered this, what donald trump is doing different than the previous administration. included in that is threatening to cut funding to pakistan among other things. it is this an indication of moving forward a positive sign things like this will happen with other countries helping us? >> absolutely. there is a new counterterrorism sheriff in town and we will see that more and more when it comes to these operations. it is rare for the us government to collaborate with a foreign country, conduct a hostage rescue on an american citizen. when you see the nuances and details of this operation that is a big deal that they trust
1:19 am
the pakistan is enough to conduct this operation and told them you need to do this or we are going in with you. with the pakistanis risking a ton of funding on the war on terror it only made sense to do this so to put a pakistani face on this is a win for everyone. heather: appreciate you joining us and good luck to that family released after five years. the time is 19 minutes after the top of the hour. a new round of on-field player protests during thursday night football and sheriff david clark has had enough. >> what is there to discuss? stand at attention, face the flag and give it to respect. heather: remember the state lawmaker punished after hoping for donald trump's assassination? do you think she learned her lesson? think again. wait until you see why she is back in the headlines this morning. ♪

1:24 am
posted a picture on twitter that compared donald trump to adolf hitler. she says she posted that picture because she was upset by the president's recentlys suggesting puerto rico needs to take more responsible for hurricane maria recovery. this is not the first time she posted something like that. in august she was investigated by the secret service because she wrote that the president should be assassinated. there are new calls for her resignation is morning, you need to redesign, saying things you don't agree with killing 13 million people are equivalent. way to keep it classy. this is disgusting by any standards but it appears you don't have any. she said she's within her first amendment rights to post them thing like this. and doing it for attention because we are talking about

i hoped for a better response. this story is personal for him because his girlfriend is one of weinstein's accusers. she keeps coming down hard on the whole thing but hillary clinton is an element of the story because she didn't -- heather: no dinner invites. the final story involves nfl football and roger goodell's wife. >> roger goodell's wife jane skinner used a fake twitter account to defend his honor. here are some of her tweets. reads like a press release from players union. you could do better with firebombs. she said roger good dell courageous was in the end, leadership is hard, commissioner doing -- give him credit.

1:36 am
here to separate fact from fiction, nicole safire. very early this morning. what is? what is the biggest thing people need to know in terms of what they think is true and what is not true? >> yesterday marks the most progress in changing the health care system since donald trump has taken office. he has single-handedly attempted to deregulate the insurance market while dismantling what was imposed by the affordable care act which is what he said he was going to do during the campaign. that causes confusion. senator schumer and nancy pelosi say he failed health care. he is the only one making moves. republican failed to band together and democrats worked in opposition. what he has done in his executive order, trying to expand associated plans which means people can come together
1:37 am
to have price competition and get lower premiums by working together and getting insurance together. heather: they can make purchases across state lines. >> purchasing across state lines would hopefully create market competition. talk about restaurant owners having to use the more farmers having them together, smaller differences coming together. they also want to expand hsa, pretax dollars for health care which is great for them and expanding short-term health insurance. you graduate college you are able to have short-term insurance that is less regulated and more affordable. heather: all of that combined means lower costs. in theory it should. this is temporary. >> this is a stopgap but the biggest thing came after the executive order was signed. heather: you mentioned problems democrats have with that and
1:38 am
this would happen on subsidies which we knew was another promise donald trump said he would do. this is sabotage and will be what causes obamacare to fail. >> whatever rhetoric, he is being active, taking action against the affordable care act cutting off cost-sharing reductions or the insurance bailout. quick unraveling of the affordable care act. people won't, the insurance companies are going to be pulling out, raising premiums and you will have fewer people insured because they can't afford it or their won't be any claims available to them. this will make congress come together. they have to put together a bipartisan plan. heather: a strategic move to hopefully bring this together to get something done. >> this is a temporary fix, not

1:41 am
cancer treatment centers of america and see what they had to offer. i think the hope for us came in the form of knowing that these doctors were experts, and that they would help us decide the best course of action in the hopes of beating it. so when amy came to us, the first thing we did was discuss her case with the surgical oncologist, the radiation oncologist, the genetic counselor and came up with a treatment plan. the plan for her was to begin with preoperative chemotherapy, thereafter proceeded with surgery. one of things that we loved about ctca was that they give you a series of options. and you do what's best for you. depending upon what decision she makes with her surgical oncologist, we then know what to offer as the plastic surgeon and reconstruction team. dr. fernandez was wonderful. he said it's up to me to do what's best. it's about giving her options where amy has all the information to make a decision best for her.
1:42 am
