♪ ♪ >> watch fox sports 1 april 1. harold will be on it! got a runner on base. good morning, everybody. tensions rising on the korean peninsula. the north and south exchanging fire more than three hours earlier today. no one saw this coming. it is breaking news. welcome to a brand new week on "america's newsroom." martha: good morning everybody. i'm martha maccallum. here is the news. south korea is accusing the north intentionally trying to provoke a con fontation as hundreds of rockets fired across a disputed border. jonathan hunt is here. what could we have, jonathan? >> reporter: north koreans fired

500 artillery shells. you can see the demilitarized zone, the border. out to the left there is a disputed water border. at least 100 of those north korean shells landed across that water border in south korean waters. so the south koreans returned fire, firing 300 artillery shells of their own. it is worth pointing out though that on neither side were those shells fired at land or at any military targets. nonetheless, we just got a statement from the white house, martha. they have called north korea's act shuns dangerous and provocative, martha. martha: all right. this isn't the first time we've seen this kind of incident happening there? >> reporter: no, it is certainly not. you only need to go back to 2010. in march of that year a south korean warship was sunk in those waters with the loss of 46 sailors. what you're looking at here, november 2010, an artillery

bombardment again along that same disputed water border. and then son of the shells did land on an inhabited island. four south koreans were killed then. cooler heads prevailed at that time. obviously the hope the same will happen now but you have a young, untested leader in north korea now, kim jong-un. you also have a new president in south korea. only took office last year. so when you have got two inexperienced leaders, these kind of exchanges of fire, the fear obviously, martha, that one of them will make a mistake and take it a little too far and all bets are off. martha: very obvious concern, great point. so the growing tensions, thank you, john hadn't. have added new urgency to military exercises to the south. nearly 10,000 u.s. marines and naval personnel hitting the beach in a mock invasion.

look at those pictures, along with 1200 south korean forces. the two allies acting as one steam in a massive display of firepower. the drills are supposed to run until next monday and reportedly the by the u.s. and south korea in over 20 years. bill: north fox news alert. march 31 on the calendar. that means deadline day for obamacare. a last-minute push to get more americans to sign up, jams the phone lines, crashes the federal website. even today, if you're logging on to healthcare.gov, getting an error message to try again later. you have until midnight tonight to get health insurance or take advantage of one of many ways to get exemption. the white house hopes last minute crush will push sign-up numbers well past the 6 million mark. or the seven million mark they set up two months ago. stuart varney from the fox business network. good to have you back. good morning to you.

what do we have? line it up. >> i think you're going to see a pr blitz. several statements coming very soon within the next couple hours that the enrollment process has been a success for obamacare. at 10:00 this morning vice president biden appears on rachael ray's show. at 10:15, kathleen sebelius interviewed on the "huffington post." you're likely to hear claims of success, that the enrollment period has almost seven million sign-ups. that is the pr blitz that will come today from the administration. the other side of the coin all those unanswered questions about the enrollees. how many of them have paid? very few of them had previously uninsured and are now insured. very few are in that category? most sign-ups are getting free or subsidized coverage. not enough young people are signing up. the premiums are going up and deductibles are going up. so on one hand you have a pr

blitz claiming success. on the other hand, if you look at the numbers seriously there is all kind of unanswered questions. it is a real contest between the two side today. bill: i have not seen the president with any public events concerning this today. which is, interesting. on the four-year anniversary there was not a public event on that day either. you're point, who is paid, who is not, who is young and who is not and who was uninsured before? >> at this point we don't know. they can claim 7 million enrollees, but we can't answer who has paid, how many are young and how many were uninsured before. bill: there is split between the message and the reality. >> oh, yes, that is exactly what you're seeing today. it's a split thing. the reality and actual message in the spin totally different. bill: see you at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. stuart varney fresh off a nice week of vacation. he is fully invigorated and

revived, filled with sleepful nights. >> i'm warm now too. bill: that's a hint. see you later, brother. >> thanks. martha: senator and dr. john barrasso believes the white house is fulling a fast one on the american people with the sign-up numbers and the republican not holding back. >> i think they're cookbooks on this. people want to know the answers on this. what kind of insurance will those people actually have? will they be able to keep the doctor they want? how much more is it going to cost them? we know some of the best cancer hospitals want very little to do with people that actually buy this insurance on the obamacare exchanges. martha: wow. reality check from senator barrasso. he will be our guest moments away. stick around for that. bill: the whole comment about cooking the books. what do you think atare they cor telling it to us, straight, america? send us a tweet @billhemmer and

@marthamaccallum. we'll share your thoughts so fire away. martha: talks in ukraine hitting a diplomatic brick wall over the weekend. secretary of state john kerry meeting last night with his russian counterpart in paris. here is a news flash. they didn't reach any sort of agreement that would send the standoff despite the handshake you see there. any settlement would be russia pulling back, 40,000 troops amassed on the ukraine border. russian foreign minister sergey lavrov, guess what he said, no comment on any of that and no commitment to do that. both men did pledge however to keep open lines of communication bill: another disappointment in search for flight 370. australian and chinese search planes spotting plenty of debris with colors similar to the airplane. only it was false hope. it was fishing dumped by a --

equipment dumped by a fishing boat. australia will not give up anytime soon. >> it appears australia will take a more important role in this tragedy at first we were told. and it may well be this is part of a australians suggestions to malaysia they take part in the investigation and fremantle becomes the center for the recovery of the debris once we find it from 370. bill: you can, you can sense the desperation here because you're closing in on what, 24 days since the plane vanished? you have a week officially before the black box voice recorder before the battery runs out. other suggests that time goes for additional days or even weeks after that. what we said on friday, until you find a piece of debris and put it on a boat and take a picture to say that came from that plane there is no proof despite 122 objects here, 130

objects over lear, dozen objects over there, no confirmed physical evidence from that plane. martha: who would have thought all these days later after all these initial spottings. more on that ahead. there is mayhem and chaos in the streets of an american city. we'll tell you about a youtube video police are saying sparked these violent clashes with the police. bill: martha, new reports that federal investigators were asked to investigate gm's anything problems but they passed, not once, but twice. now gm's new ceo set to take the hot seat on the hill to answer that question. martha: folks in southern california on edge after a weekend of more than 100 aftershocks. could a much more serious quake, the big one you've been hearing about all your life, could it be right around the corner? >> the shake is huge and i can still, the bottles behind me are kind of shaking.

i didn't want to wait to see what happened or looked. i just left the store immediately vo: once upon a time

there was a boy who traveled to a faraway place where castles were houses and valiant knights stood watch for the kingdom was vast and monsters lurked in the deep and the good queen showed the boy it could all be real avo: all of great britain, all in one place book on expedia before april 30th and save up to thirty percent.

martha: federal regulators reportedly dropping the ball on their handling of deadly safety problems with general motors cars. according to congressional investigators the feds twice declined to look into faulty ignition that is could cause cars to stall suddenly. the defect is already linked to 13 deaths. general motors ceo mary barra is heading to capitol hill tomorrow to face questions from a house committee. a separate senate hear something scheduled on this big, big issue. that will come up wednesday. bill: meantime the white house saying they're seeing a surge in traffic at healthcare.gov. in fact that website for a time was down today. it says more than six million americans have signed up by the end of today. will the administration hit its original goal of seven million enrollees? my next guest says these numbers are meaningless. he went further than that. republican john barrasso, chairs the senate republican policy committee of the also a doctor by trade out of wyoming.

how are you, sir, good morning to you. >> thanks for having me, bill. bill: do you expect a headline before midnight tonight or even tomorrow morning that the white house says, we hit seven million? >> well, they're going to try to talk a big headline for tomorrow but the reality is they're not going to have that many people who actually have insurance. to me they're hiding the ball on this they won't tell you how many people have, actually paid for the insurance. we know in states that follow this closely, in a number of those states, fewer than six in 10 who sign up actually pay for the insurance. they also won't tell you how many of these folks were just part of the five million who were canceled from their policies and are just now trying to get insurance back as opposed to peel really getting insurance for the first time. and finally they're not going to tell you how many are the young, healthy people will be forced to buy insurance they don't need, don't want and will likely not use. that percentage has to be pretty

big for the whole system to work. bill: now, listen, break that down. if you don't know the number of young people, if you don't know how many who were uninsured previously and on and on and on your list there, why is that significant to the law? why does all that matter? >> well, otherwise there is going to be incredible effort to have to bailout the insurance companies because if only older, sicker people sign up and not enough, young, healthy people sign up then the math of it doesn't work. the arithmetic falls apart and then the government is going to end up bailing out the insurance companies, plus the insurance companies for next year are going to have to raise their rates tremendously. they're already looking at a double-digit price increase for next year. bill: you said on "fox news sunday," you have looked at this 10 different ways and you told chris wallace, this health care law is unfixable. now the white house would argue, they have already crossed the

rubicon. they're back into the safe zone. the death spiral that everybody feared around the first of the year did not happen. does that mean obamacare is here to stay, senator? >> well, i don't believe it is here to stay. you know, there are a number of democrats, six senators have brought forth a bill which they call, is a fix to the president's health care law. to me, let's not be fooled here. all they're doing is nibbling around the edges. those who are up for election this year, they're unnerved. they're pushing the panic button trying to find some solutions. but, people all across the country are bothered because their policies have been canceled. they can't keep their doctors. can't keep their opts es -- hospitals especially when they sign up for the president's health care law and see they're paying a lot more now for coverage that they don't necessarily want than coverage they were paying for before for

coverage that worked best for them. bill: your sparring partner was angus king, a independent senator from maine. here is what he said is happening inside on the sign-ups. >> president of wellpoint, big national insurance companies said a couple weeks ago that the sign-ups are getting younger by the day. younger people not surprisingly are the last people to sign up. i suspect that is who is signing up today and tomorrow. bill: so is that true or does he just suspect that? the administration said for a long time that young people are the last to do it. so would you, or is it possible they are getting this last-minute surge here? go. >> they may be having a late-minute surge but they are woefully behind the numbers even kathleen sebelius said they needed, they needed 40% of those signing up had to be these younger, healthier group. the insurance companies also say, the white house has the numbers, about how many people have paid and that is why i say

the white house is cooking the books because they're not being open. they're not being transparent. they won't tell the american people the numbers of how many people actually have insurance versus the number that just visited the website. bill: you're saying given all the technology you know the numbers every day? >> the numbers are there. the white house refuses to come clean with the american people. bill: when do we see them, sir? >> well if they're not what the white house wants them to be, we may never see them, ever. well, they have the numbers now. they have decided not to give them out. so the american people are going to keep asking for these numbers to find out if this is working or not but individuals are making their own decisions on this. two to one, more people believe they are hurt by the health care law than were helped by the health care law. and that is why the last week's poll only 26% of americans support the president's health care law. bill: that is very intriguing we'll never see these numbers. how is it even possible? >> part of it is, i think that

the website, the national website, they left off the question about, were you injured beforehand or not -- insured beforehand or not. in some ways kathleen sebelius even testified we're not collecting the information, even though the president said his goal was to take 30 million uninsured americans and get them insured. the administration is now saying, we have no way to find out how many of the people that have signed up didn't have insurance beforehand versus were canceled because of the law itself. bill: thank you for your time, sir. you made a lot of strong statements yesterday morning. we wanted to get you to react on that again today. you say some of the best cancer hospitals in the world don't want to be anywhere near these exchanges. we'll see whether or not that is reality very soon. >> and childrens' hospitals as well. cancer hospitals and childrens' hospitals. bill: if that is true, that is another major headline. john john barrasso thank thank r

our time on the hill. >> thank you. bill: martha. martha: after string of security failures, the base jumpers got up and climbed on roof of new world trade center for a personal thrill ride. now you have big changes coming to security at the top of that landmark building. we'll tell you what is being done. bill: still looks like bat mon, doesn't it? washington's governor not giving up hope after the death toll from a deadly mudslide goes up again. the latest on this search as it continues yet again today. >> the mission statement right now is to look for that miracle, rescue any possible survivors and also to find loved ones to give them confidence. that's correct. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons.

look, you don't have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. if our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. oh that sounds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

bill: after a series, rather of security breaches at the world trade center, leading to the resignation now of its chief

of security, this is just one of the incidents that prompted his departure. three guys back in september, they made it to the 104th floor, parachuting down into the streets of manhattan. turned themselves in about a week ago. the resignation of david velasquez, does not take effect right away. he will stay on until a new security chief has been hired. martha: 25 people are now confirmed dead in washington state's mudslide after four more bodies were pulled from the muck yesterday. but have yet to be identified. 30 people are now missing. that number came down quite a bit over the weekend. there are also giving exhaustive search dogs and their handlers a much-needed two-daybreak to try to regroup. >> as you know the conditions on this slide field are difficult. and so, this is just a time to take care of the dogs and, in addition to that after a long

time out of scene, dogs can lose their sensing ability. so taking that break is important. martha: th hard. dan springer is live in arlington, washington. we did have some good news over the weekend, right, dan? >> reporter: yeah, this horrible story got a little less horrible, martha. for people who didn't follow it over the weekened, last word they bottom last week that 90 people were still missing and unaccounted for. but officials dropped that number down to 30 on saturday. big relief because we were looking at a death toll approaching 100. but of course this search continues and they're saying that it will take weeks to find all the peoplethey even can. the weather did not cooperate over the weekend. it rained like crazy on saturday. in fact the river level rose a full foot. there are still flood warnings and watches in effect although it is expected to be dry never next few days. good news that the five-month-old baby recognize rescued from the mudslide is

improving but still critical. he and his mother were pulled from the mud in those first frantic hours. yesterday, many in the community went to church to pray for the victims and talk about the job ahead. >> we heard it and we saw it go down the river. so it was, at first i don't think we wanted to believe that it was as bad as it was. where my heart is, is to really help the people, unless from now, two months from now, a year from now, because i know the tragedy, when all the media is gone, these people will still need our help and support. >> reporter: that is an understatement. more than 500 people, martha, have now taken part in the search efforts. martha: boy, she is so right about that. so, dan, the rescuers not just searching for victims in all of that debris at this point, right? >> reporter: yeah, it is interesting, martha. they have special teams out there looking for things of sentimental value to the people who really have lost everything. they have got nothing.

their home is gone. their families have been separated f they come across a photo album or some jewelry, they put it aside. they decontaminate it and try to figure out it might belong to. from all the raw sewage from rescue systems and household solvents and propane tanks mixed up in the debris it is too dangerous for residents to sift through the mess. >> we also have a number of volunteers on the slide field as momento collection crews that is a very important thing to this community, to collect the personal belongings and moment men toes of families that have been impacted by the slide. >> reporter: so a little sliver of hope for people as they get some their possessions back. i know they have lost so much. i know pictures mean so much to people who have nothing left. martha? martha: that is great, important effort. dan, thank you very much. bill: unheard of this thing keeps going on and on. martha: unbelievable. we've seen that before.

people go in and collect photos after the tornadoes. we saw that. and lay them out and put them online. it is such a comfort to people who can find some of those pieces of their lives to put them back together again. great effort on their part. bill: wish well to them. one state fed up with the technical problems on the obamacare website, it might scrap the entire thing all together, despite spending more than $100 million on its website. we'll tell you where that is happening today. martha: that's a telling story. plus hundreds of aftershocks rattling southern california. is this a signal that the big one is about to come? >> everything was on the floor. you know. we couldn't, as say, most of the dishes i have left are in the dishwasher. that's not much, you think except it's 2 peent every year. go to e*trade and find out how much our advice and guidance costs. spoiler alert. it's low. it's guidance on your terms not ours.

e*trade. less for us, more for you.

bill: so maryland invested $125 million in its obamacare website, money that might be down the drain entirely. it has been to plagued with technical issues that state may scrap the software and use connecticut's system instead. maryland's governor, martin o'malley, suggesting there might be some kind of change to the troubled site. state health officials will reportedly vote tomorrow whether to replace the exchange. we're looking into this more coming up at the top of the next hour. martha: all right. well there are new warnings that vladmir putin's ambitions are far from finished in the ukraine and beyond. the chairman of the house intel

committee, now saying that he believes that the russian president is trying to extend his control in several surrounding countries. here is mike rogers with chris wallace. >> and then you see all of the russian movement along the border, and you see russian covert influence operations, meaning, they have their intelligence officials and their special forces inside ukraine trying to foment this notion that the russians should come in. there is no way that i would take that as any other sign other than he is looking for a way to find his land bridge from crimea to along the northern baltic sea area which is right along the moldova area and ukraine border. >> there is lot in there. kt mcfarland, served as silks assistant secondary of defense in the reagan administration, fox news analyst. good to have you here, kt. he makes a number of good

points. we have a map of the region we can pull up as well. he is saying this buildup is not just military on the borders but intel within the countries to try to turn the tide among the people. what do you think? >> first of all, everybody tells you, he says he doesn't want to do that. forget that. look at capabilities. never look at intentions. intentions can changeover night. that is what i learned as mit defense planner. look at his capabilities. there are three levels of this. one, he put armed troops on the border, and kind of troops that could make an attack. they have got the kind of equipment and got the kind of supplies. he also probably put as mike rogers said, covert operatives, guys without uniforms and that while go in and cause demonstrations. maybe the dep stations get violent. then putin has his excuse. i'm only going to protect ethnic russians. they're being discriminated against. >> the gameplan he pulled off in crimea.

infiltrating people with crimea, who said i don't like this president? what do you think of this guy? they stir things up. it is a very clear master plan when you look at it this way and it could go on it, could go on for a very long time. these are like little nibbles and knocking things down. nibble more and knock it down. it is not an overnight thing. >> that is the key, how long does it go on. maybe the next step is eastern ukraine. maybe do it the way you talked about. maybe armed or maybe not use your weapons because you foment ad revolutionary revolution in ukraine. maybe next two is moldova and other countries and maybe step three is the baltics which is what i'm worried about. martha: that is precisely what people talk about the action that could take by our administration and encourage the countries to come into the u.n., right? come into the security forces we could all work together, mole diva, the baltic states to

aggressively include them. >> yeah, but here's the difference. moldova, georgia, ukraine, as much as we may plead for those countries in our heart. martha: i meant nail toe. >> they're not nato countries. nato is different, it has article v clause which i call the three musketeers clause which says one for all, all for one. if there is armed attack against any member nato, the other members of nato have to rush to their defense. what if there is armed attack against baltic states, lithuania, estonia, will the united states come to their aide? i think putin mail be willing to call the bluff. the other point, what if there is not an armed attack? martha: would you recommend to make a swift move to include the nations in nato? get together with europe and bring the baltic states into nato and we'll protect them if anything happens?

>> will we? that is the question. i think the united states president is war-weary. the country is not in favor of any military actions and a president who isn't either. if we do anything it will be economic. talk about negotiations and diplomacy. these guys can keep meeting but the fact of the matter is the russian military has its hands around our necks. that is great negotiation, right, when somebody has their hand around your neck. we'll have to watch and see. will we reinforce nato? will we go for energy independence with the united states go with the keystone pipeline and we develop their energy? finally is there any place we'll stand up to them so far there hasn't been. there is no missile defense system in the poland and czech republic? we gave it away. where does this go? i think it may go all the way to the baltics. martha: kt, thank you very much. inspiring. frightening and scary, exactly. bill: well-done, ladies. your final four, set, america, it was hashtag madness all weekend.

number 7 seed, university of connecticut, led by point guard sensation, shabaz napier. they beat michigan state, 60-54. at madison square garden the place was rocking. hold it. second game was huge too. the kentucky wildcats, a team that starts five freshmen, stunning michigan in the final seconds, 75-72. aaron harris son from dallas hit a bomb of a three-pointer. the first team since 1992 to reach the final four with five freshmen starters that was a great game. here, america, is what you got. saturday night the huskies play the number one overall seed, florida. in the second game kentucky battles wisconsin, championship game one week from tonight. wow. martha: very inspiring the fresh men on that kentucky team. bill: yes. martha: so youthful and excited. it is a lot of what you don't see, frankly in professional

basketball in terms of the way they played as a great team, unselfish. happy to be there. really exciting stuff. do you have anybody left from your original bracket in the final four? bill: i have got florida. martha: i had arizona. so i'm out. bill: john calley parry takes them ought of high school and makes them champions. the garden was rockin' yesterday. really great atmosphere in new york. saturday is your next stop. >> all right. this is where we want to take you now. chaos on the streets of an american city. protesters storm a police headquarters, can you believe this? turning a demonstration into 10 hours of mayhem. this happened in america in new mexico. this things got you ugly after riot police were called in. we'll tell you what is going on. bill: the massive quake that could be right around the corner in southern california. >> it's tough. i have never really been through one. so that was, that was definitely a emotional roller coaster for

sure. esearch this man has at his disposal is how he puts it to work for his clients. morning. morning. thanks for meeting so early. co on in. [ male annncer ] it's how edward jones makes sense of investing.

martha: people in north carolina are cleaning up after a pair of tornadoes toward through willow spring on saturday night, just a few miles from raleigh. they were weak tornadoes as they go, ef-0s, but they packed 80 mile-an-hour wind but that was strong enough trees and tear love roofs in that area. they caused some people a few thousand dollars in damage. >> blowed a doubletree on top of a barn and tore the barn down. tore a playhouse up and tore the swing set up. >> it was really howling and they always say about how it sound. martha: so far no injuries thankfully reported. >> that's growing to go foul off to the right upstairs. a little tremor here in the ballpark. nothing, i'm not sure if the folks felt it but we certainly felt it here in press box row.

bill: vin scully would know, right? that is dodger stadium friday night, when a magnitude 5.1 quake shook the greater l.a. area. it was strongest to strike the region in more than six years. this like scenes from a bowling alley as people are tuck ducking for cover as bowling pins went flying. >> ceiling tiles, pins scattered down the lanes. there was a grumbling, groaning noise heard throughout the building. bill: no series injuries but experts have a sobering thought today, saying that the same little-known fault could produce a bigger quake in the very near future, worse than the big one we've been hearing about for decades. we have a seismologist at at university of california davis. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. bill: in sacramento. you look at things. you try, you try and predict based on the rumbling. we watched over the past seven to 10 days. is that an indicator for a

person like you to say, that we are on the verge of a much bigger shake? >> well, of course it could be. you can't discount that but the standard statistic that we quote for an earthquake like that there is 5% chance of something bigger coming within a week or so. now, that earthquake fault, the pent at that hills fault that that fault eventually occurred on has been only known for a few years. we do know it was the source of 1987 whittier narrows earthquake. that runs from brea and la habra, toward downtown l.a. and probably one of the most damaging or dangerous fault west know about in the l.a. area. bill: how come? >> because it runs right under downtown. there is very little surface expression and we know very little about frequency on of earthquakes on that fault. bill: 5% chance of indicator, five to 10%, that's it? >> within a week.

now we actually do forecasting ourselves on our open hazards.com website. we've done some calculations that you can go there and see. i've written a blog about that that says there's a chance, 4 or 5% chance a year of 6-magnitude earthquake within 60 miles of downtown and 30% chance within three years. that is still not certain within the sense we don't know for sure those things are going to happen. all we can do is calculate probabilities. bill: northridge was 20 years ago this year,. >> i that's correct. bill: 19984. that was a different fault line in southern california, am i right about that. >> you are but that is buried thrust faults. these thrust faults are underground. they have very little surface expression. when they rupture as the northridge earthquake did, the are up sure didn't actually come to the surface. so it was underground of course. and caused the shaking and the damage that killed roughly 50 people in that event. those things are very dangerous,

sir, did the earth send signals before that 1994 northridge quake? >> well, if it did we couldn't read them. forecasting earthquakes, predicting earthquakes is not like forecasting hurricane landfalls which are easier because you can see the things coming. those are difficult as well but forecasting or predicting earthquakes is still, you know, still difficult. bill: yeah. it is been said that this has been the quite evidentest 17 years in a long time for california. do you agree with that, sir? >> yes. that certainly has been very quiet. for a time in the '80s, between '71 san fernando earthquake, '79 imperial valley earthquake up until loma and northridge and hector mine in 19 knit we were having major earthquakes quit frequently and there has been quite a lull since that time.

bill: if that is the case, does that give experts like yourself, does that give you greater pause or concern because it's been so quiet? >> earthquakes cluster in time. earthquakes are random events somewhat like market crashes and they cluster in time and just because you have a cluster of large events doesn't necessarily mean that you know, that there is going to be, there is not going to be one afterwards or there is going to be one afterwards. it is a random event. bill: this was centered in la habre, northeast of l.a. and along the punta hills thrust fault. that is not part of the san andreas fault which a lot of people in rest of the country associate big earthquakes with. you say the hills fault, that could be deadlier and costlier? >> because it is closer to downtown los angeles. san andreas fault runs 30 miles to the north and west of downtown l.a. so a major

serialist serialist serialist serals serialist serialist serialist serialistously seriou serals seriously seriously seriously seriously today is the day. d-day for obamacare. enrollment is supposed to end at midnight unless you can't finish the website, which does seem likely since the website has crashed. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom" i am martha maccallum. >> and i will bill. where the clip where kathleen sebelius was like it is down. apparently it is down today. an unexpected spike in premiums, sky high deductibles, the possible of a bailout.

john barrasso is addressing is: >> they maybe having ailate minute surge but they are behind the numbers kathleen sebelius said when she said they needed 40% of those signing up needing to be the younger, heathier group. the white house has the numbers about how many have paid and that is why i say they are cooking the books because they are not being o deucey is live. how is the site working as of now? >> bill, it is shaky. repairs and heavy traffic made it impossible to log on to the site and no access means no enrolling. the first warning message warned

of maintenance and had you enter an e-mail. and i got an e-mail back four hours later with a link that does work. there was another error message that said there were too many visitors at the site. and an hour later the site is accepting log-ins through the home page. we will continue to see if it can handle the last-minute traffic. hhs is saying the big problems were a software bug so a spokesperson said the health care website's regular maintenance window has been extended and the federal data hub is working. health cacar

healthcare.gom says this is the last day to enroll but now they are saying you are longer if you are signed in at least >> there is a help line, too. what is happening with that? >> a computer asks for your telephone and promises a call back after april 1st. there is a message that makes it clear if you leave your number before the deadline you will get covered but there is no indication of when to expect the call back. >> byron york is here who is a chief examiners and fox news contributor. it looks like higher premiums are next. people who have already signed

up are likely to get an increase in the coming years. >> absolutely. six months after the troubled rollout of obamacare the system still isn't working and that is troubling. what we think happened was a number of big insurers low-balled their rates trying to get people to sign-up with a lower rate. they know the federal government is going to cover most of their losses if they do that. then as the people are enrolled raise the rates to a market price. insurance rates have gone up in the past but look like they could go up a higher amount of because of obamacare. >> so it is possible, the number you think you have on our insurance is going do rise, even though this was called the affordable care act and we were told by the white house that cost might go up, but not as

much as they had in the past in terms of health care, but at some point they would level off and come down. is that the premise they are working under still? >> no, the president said this would save each family $2500 but that is not happening. this doesn't affect those millions of americans who are receiving subsidies. the law makes the subsidies go up with with the rates. >> if they say we had to spend more than this than we thought and they have to bail out the insurance companies, where does that money come from? >> the taxpayers. the insurance companies had to pay a fee to for the bailouts

but raised the rates on the policy to do that. so a combination of taxpayers and policy holders who have ended up paying higher rates. >> so you could get hit in two parts. >> the federal government and the insurance company takes your money, too. >> thank you, byron. in the state of maryland the exchange website has so many issues the state is considering scrapping the site all together despite spending $125 million. james rosen is live on that. what kind of problems has that exchange been having even at this point six months down the road? >> the numbers here tell the tale. maryland enrolled only 9% its pool of enrollees.

that made it the worst performing of the 17 states that made their own sites. the nation average is 15%. the system is unable to determine eligible for medicare. they are planning to scrap the website and put in place what rhode island did. >> how much is the fix going to cost? >> the unworkable system cost the state $126 million to build and operate. martin o'malley is the state's governor, a contender for the

2016 election if hilary clinton announces not to run, will be having the vote tomorrow. it could cost $30 million to swap out the old system >> it is still running okay. but this was a ship that could not get out of port. she is now under sail and we are signing up people. we are exceeded our goal for this enrollment period but it isn't working at a level i would call acceptable for when november comes around. >> maryland would have about seven months until the next enrollment opens up on november 15th. >> thank you, james. top level discussions between the united states and russia not going anywhere over the course of the weekend. four hour meeting between

president in 2016. rand paul and former arkansas governor mike huckabee lead the pack at 13% and jeb bus at 11% and christie and cruz at 9% and don't know has 19%. and ed rollins is here and he was the staff to reagan and joe trippi is here. ed, what do you think about this recruit of jeb bush idea? >> jeb bush is a great governor and people like him. there is affection for the bush's still. chris christie people are looking for a change now

>> has any of that changed since the report on friday? >> absolutely not. people assume there is still more to come. i think he is going to run clearly and he has taken steps with this report to move forward but i think there is serious doubts out there so they are looking for an alternative. i think governor huckabee most people don't think he is going to run and if he does he can't put the funds together and rand paul and more of the tea party. so someone who can raise $50-$100 million in the primary and jeb bush could do that. >> joe trippi, what do you think? the >> the establish is looking

around. cruz or chris christie didn't make it out to the account this weekend that bush did and bush did well. jeb bush in a great candidate and has an ability to reach out to hispanics and a lot of independents would be drawn to him. he is a good general election candidate except for the fact of bush fatigue. barbara bush has it and whether the country has it could be his biggest impediment. i would not count chris christy out. there is a lot of people in iowa coming out to see the big show >> and he is effective at fundraising and hasn't hurt that for the other candidates.

joe, you said the establishment is looking for a new leader. we have a ton of viewers watching saying who cares what the establish wants they want someone like rand paul or ted cruz. let's look at how they run against hilary clinton: rand paul 13% and chris christy 13%. these numbers don't look attractive. >> bob dole, john mccain and mitt romney all lost. so the elements of the party, the christian right and the tea party want someone other than established. the de -- dilima now is -- can

you raise the funds that need to be funded. we have a long hard way to go. unless you can raise the $100 million for the primary challenge you are not a viable candidate. the independent campaigns that run with millions play a role, but at the end of the day you have to have a grass root organization >> a lot of people wonder if jeb bush wants it. let me three another name out there: mike rogers. what do you think? >> i think he is going off into radio land. >> chris wallace asked him if that was a possibility because ronald reagan has a radio show and he was coy. >> i think congressman rogers has been a great person and i am sorry he is leaving the congress. but he is not widely known and

will not be able to raise the resources like the other governors. new documents showing thousands of illegles with criminal convictions busted and released and why were they not deported? >> and an author did a story of wall street with very bad news for investors. he said the deck is so stacked against you -- >> what is the headline year? >> stock market is rigged. the most iconic market in global capitalism is rigged. capitalism is rigged. beautiful day in baltimore where most people probably know that geico could save them money on car insurance, right? you see the thing is geico, well, could help them save on boat hey! stalk pilockpiles stock pilepil

this isn't. right now. >> let me back up from a the viewers that didn't see the piece. trades are executed in southern manhattan and they traced the signal into new jersey and there is a way station before the trade was executed and at the weigh station computers are figure out what jerry wills wants to buy and they are upping the price by maybe a penny or maybe not a penny but over time hundreds or thousands of trade equal billions and billions. do i have it right? >> thing think about what these people are doing. they are trading based on now fundamental evidence. this is about seeing what is is coming and getting what is

coming in. >> why do you care about the penny? >> i buy stocks every day and every time i lose a penny. >> were you heated or ticked off about this? >> i have been ticked off for a year. regilators are not taking action. high frequenciy traders are not fundamental investors and making money off the back of us and even goldman sachs. >> before you had the computer you had the guy with the pen and paper walking around on the flo floor. >> professional ones were making

them on what you are going to do and making bets but these guys actually know. we are talking about money for kid's education and money that helps people retire. front running is illegal and this is a form of that. michael lewis was careful to say that is illegal in this case but why? i think this is legit question. >> nothing is being done to stop it. will you touch on this? >> we will. >> thanks, jerry. new developments in the major recall. 13 deaths linked to gm deaths and congressional authorities are saying this could have been

sound like david. they are not saying the law is working. they are saying we can fix it. >> katie pavlich is here and crystal as well. >> happy monday. >> katie, does today change thing for democrats toward november? you are now at the mark of over six million and maybe at midnight they come out saying they reached 7 million. >> people are going online sthag saying they signed up and there is nothing to show they did to avoid a fee. when you have people like dave

bluff going on television and telling people the plan is working great despite your plan went up and you cannot see your doctor isn't going to work for democrats. democrats are sougnot saying ths working but they are saying we need to thing it but no specifics. >> and the few from the left. >> i think obamacare is a problem for democrats running. they are not running ads for this. it doesn't mean they don't think it will work, but it is difficult issue and not something they will embrace because the rollout has been bad. so if it works in the long run it will not matter for this election.

>> does today and beyond make them less defensive? does it change anything? >> if they hit the six million target or higher that is obviously an accomplishment and getting close to the seven million number is an accomplishment but it doesn't change the fact there have been problems and a lot of people who had coverage lost the coverage and people had to change their doctors. those problems exist and the american people take them seriously >> mark baggage is a democratic senator in alaska and he has an ad out that just hit our inbox a moment ago. he has seen in the outback of alaska on a snowmobile. it is cool looking ad. we just listened to it. single-word about oesn't

and north carolina. >> and remember lake who is a democratic pollster told democrats not to run on this recently. so i think people who are being honest about this know that this isn't a winning issue for democrats. >> which is being dishonest because everyone said the opposite. the white house is continuing to say the law is good for people and they are saying the six million people but we don't have a definition of what enrolled is. >> whether the law is good for people is a separate issue. >> back on this tomorrow. don't disappoint. >> see you later >> listen to this, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants were busted last year, many with criminal records, but it turns out the numbers are coming out, let many of them go. why? we will talk about that.

we know they are not traffic accidents or citations but we don't have the specific breakdown. and we have to see what the rules and how many people they are allowed to deport and they have to prioritize. this is look liking at the report card saying you have all of these a's and what up with this a minus. the deporter in chief is putting so many people outside the country. >> the curious piece of data to me is the number of deportation has fallen and down 28% in 2013 since 2010. and i wonder, lars, does that line up with a different philosophy of the administration in terms of letting people stay?

>> it isn't curious at all. this president is easy to figure out. he is the releaser in chief. he's an illegal alien aunt and uncle of his own. and i think leslie needs someone to mow her lawn but he cannot release these people. 190,000, about a third to a quarter are charged and then cutting 68,000 criminals loose. this is the president that promised amnestty and so did president bush. this isn't something new for the releaser and chief. >> let's look at the quote from senator session and john boehner said this was an obstical.

and it is being said that they must enforce the law and not break it. leslie, isn't that hard to argue with? if you are a legal citizen, you are not allowed to break the law. how do you justify that? >> a hundred percent of any illegal immigrant has broken the law and until we have immigration form that is the case. but there is a difference between a violent person and a non-violent person with a criminal record. the number of reductions correlated with the number of reductions of illegal immigrants coming into the country when the economy took a nose dive and companies were not picking grapes and such.

and i have someone to mow my own lawn: my husband. >> i mow my own. i like leslie but this is absurd. if the illegal immigrant hits a little old lady with a brick she is okay with deporting them. but if the same person steals your idenity they can tay stay. >> you don't know the crime they are committing. >> "happening now" is coming your way and jon scott is here to tee it off. >> it is deadline day and
