"fox & friends" starts now. >> it is tuesday, april 1. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. an army recruit brags about his plans for jihad attack against u.s. soldiers. his inspiration? fort hood. this morning a manhunt is on to find him. a live report straight ahead. >> obamacare open enrollment ended at midnight. how did it go? kathleen sebelius speechless. >> i think we've probably lost sound here or something. >> i can hear you, but i -- thanks for having me. >> yeah, sure. we're going to show you what led to that awkward silence down in oklahoma

city. >> new yorkers giving the mind on opening day. close another charter school. not exactly allege standing ovation. -- not exactly a standing ovation. mornings are better with friends. ♪ ♪ >> welcome aboard folks. it is april 1. it is a day of pranks. we promise to keep them to a minimum. >> i don't believe you, not for one instant. not in my house. they have been playing for awhile. before that, we have a fox news alertç for you at this hour. the f.b.i. and the u.s. military searching for a recent army recruit. they believe he's planning a deadly fort hood-inspired attack against u.s. soldiers. peter doocy following that alarming story out of washington, d.c. peter, what do we know

about the suspect? and please bring us up to date. >> reporter: elisabeth, we know his name is booker and he told his friends he's going to commit jihad. he also told his friends goodbye and said some things that made them feel like a deadly plot could happen at any time. that plot is believed to target u.s. soldiers in the style of the 2009 terror attack on fort hood where a gunman killed 13 people and injured 32 others. the focus of the search forç booker also known as muhammad abdullah hassan is the midwest united states, where booker was recruited by the u.s. army two months ago in february. just two weeks ago booker was apparently interviewed by f.b.i. agents in the kansas city division. that interview was march 20, and it is included in the alert now circulating with local police in kansas city and the u.s. military. the purpose of that alert

is to make sure our military is on the lookout for booker, ready to respond appropriately. if he shows up somewhere. we still don't know how old booker is or what he looks li)c. the f.b.i. and the fort leavenworth kansas base military intelligence group are racing right now to find this man. >> thank you very much. open enrollment closed last night at midnight for obamacare. you know what? it was a big success. they hit $7 million. no, that is not an april fool's prank. that is how the white house is spinning it. >> truly just 1.7% of the 46.8 million uninsured are actually covered now, certainly raising eyebrows here. you wonder how many people that the white house is saying enrolled actually paid. how many could be duplicates. how many recovered before and lost their insurance

and then signed. senatorç barraso of wyoming is wondering if they cooked the books. >> the reality is they had to provide insurance paid at a certain number. they needed seven million to make the math work a had to e young healthy people. we had to know how many paid, how many of those are that young, healthy group buying insurance many of them won't ever use or need. finally, the whole purpose of this health care law, the reason they turned health care in the country upside down was the president said they wanted to provide coverage to 30 million people, tkpwret -- greta, who were previously uninsured. they cannot give us information on how manyç of these people signing up actually had insurance before and got cancellation letters and how many were newly insured. >> the administration made a comeback being one of the first starts they could possibly imagine. they worked hard. rachel ray i'm certain

helped. they got the numbers high. i was looking at michael duran, state director of independent business in new york. he says the numbers are high but the costs have risen for everyone he talked to on the average of 25%. he said he's yet to talk to anyone who had their costs decrease. this is how we're ultimately going to define this program. is 7 million the number they were shooting for? now that they hit it, they admit it. now that they have that, the question is how many people are going to get insurance who never had insuranceç before. what kind of service are they going to get? how many doctors are going to be around? it makes you think you're not going to fully understand what this program is for another two years. >> you've got to believe when they put out the seven million number, kind of like the end of the telethon, somehow they always get over that number when they say, tiffany, look at that, we got the magic number. >> like ed mcmahon and

jerry lewis. >> for john barraso, for him to double down the numbers that are out there, that are floating around are squishy. although it's interesting, cookin' the books. he said yesterday, if we were cookin' the books, we're really smart at it. we would have done it earlier. like this. >> i was struck by the republican senator today who confronted with numbers i'm sure he said would never come to pass just decided they weren't real. if we were cooking the books, don't you think we would have cooked them in october and november. we could have saved ourselves a lot of pain. >> you couldn't even log on in october and november. >> that is why they didn't cook them because the souffle blew up. >> one of the most interesting government officials that has emerged now, who i'm sure was taking a low-profile position, now secretary of

state of health and human services, kathleen sebelius, she has been everywhere and beenç grilled for two reason because she had two years to get this program ready and it wasn't ready. this interaction, so often when you do a show, so many things can go wrong. what about this when things go wrong and they shouldn't go wrong, listen to the question and the answer. keep this in mind, everybody can hear everybody and the staring is intentional. listen. >> i'd like to check 64% of oklahomans aren't buying into the health care plan. they don't like obamacare and they have been pretty vocal about it. that still continues to be a tough sell but we'll see how that plays out over the comingç months. all right. secretary sebelius, thank you so much for being with us this morning. i think we've probably lost sound here or something. >> i can hear you but -- thanks for having me.

>> seven seconds. >> was it seven? i think it was seven seconds. steve: guy who asked the question, the fellow who has been there for awhile, oklahoma city channel 9, stan miller, he said what is on a lot of people's minds. they do these smaller-market interviews so you don't get a hard question. when it's rolling, it's hard for her to do anything other than sit there. she can't argue with the guy even though, you know, it doesn't make any sense for her to do that. it just looks silly. she also said in that interview that between 10% andç 20% of the people who have enrolled haven't paid which means they aren't going to wind up with health care. the interesting thing she said as well, she said her two sons who are in their 30's really enjoyed that interview with the president. that's the only way to reach him. they don't watch the network news. >> it actually was a smart thing to do. it is interesting some

numbers are so clear but others are a little squishy or fuzzy. they can't seem to locate certain numbers. >> let's say instead of tossing to heather nauert, we just stare at her. >> good morning. hi, gang. >> we can hearç you. >> awkward. let me get to the news. we begin with a bombshell new report that contradicts what susan rice said about the benghazi terror attacks. remember this? >> what sparked the recent violence was the airing on the internet of a very hateful, very offensive video that has offended many people around the world. >> there are new documents that now reveal that the c.i.a. station chief in libya told his superiors in washington that no demonstration took place on september 15. he reported this back to officials one day before susan rice went on the

sunday talk shows with that line about the demonstration causing the terror attack. the question now remainsç did c.i.a. director michael morrell tell the president this? lawmakers expect to grill him tomorrow about this during a house intelligence hearing. more on this as we get it. breaking overnight, phraeubgs -- malaysian officials just admitted they were wrong about the last words spoken by the pilot. initially they claimed all right good night was the pilot's final message but it turns out the message was actually this good night malaysian 370 which is a routine statement. officials said they aren't sure who said thoseç words, the copilot or the pilot. a hitting coach taking a hit that would break his leg and the video is a bit tough to watch. don baylor was about to catch the ceremonial first pitch. as he reached for the ball

relational disorder. rather than trying to stamp out some behaviors and promote others in these children, we see, number one, how beautiful these kids and their unique worlds are. the parents want that. it is a natural parental based instinct. when we focus on connection with these kids everything else takes care of itself and their parents don't stay up at night hoping their child catchesç up in math, they want their child to say i love you or have a boyfriend or girlfriend or have a best friend. that is what the sunrise program does. >> he speaks from the heart of parents of children with autism. >> it is a nonprofit organization. go to www..autismtreatment.org, they can get a lot of help there. >> thank you so much, brian kauffman. >> how bad is the job

although she obviously not qualified. she has had nine serious mental episodes. one she turned catatonic andç was removed from a stretcher during a trial. now she was found not guilty by reason of insanity and she wants to go on the bench. there are ways this can be stopped. she can be impeached, a highly politicized process or a commission can decide she's been elected but doesn't have the ability to be a judge anymore. so we'll let her collect her pay but not sit on the bench. >> since 2012 she has a large salary. >> she earns more than federal judges earn. >> she said i can serve as a judge as long as i continue to take the medication as prescribed. i have had two years to think about this and i have a different perspective and understanding of my condition. >> in that twoç year period

[ male announcer ] troubleshoot, manage appointments, and bill pay from your phone. introducing the xfinity my account app. today more than a million students in new york state will take the common core reading exam. but some students are opting out of that, including the children of new york republican gubernatorial candidate who joins us live here in the studio. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> why aren't you going to let your kids take it? >> my wife and i -- she's a special ed teacher, we feel very strongly that our kids shouldn't be guinea pigs in a lab test and that's what's going on nationally where you have a federalization of local education. i believe very strongly that we should have our teachers and our school board members and our

principals in our communities decide on education. we all want higher standards. there is not a question about that. but this is a massive untested experiment nationwide. it was part of race to the top. and this will be a massive property tax increases in the fewer to pay for all of this. >> how do you see that? >> because to make sure you imcomplement all the common core standards and keep up with what you need to do, it will require property tax increases to pay for it 'cause the federal money that went part of the stimulus is running out. >> what's your main problem with common core? on this program we've been talking for over a year about the problems with it. i'm curious about your perspective as a parent. >> first of all, as a parent, we're looking at what educators, teachers are saying are not age appropriate. you look at curriculum here that really is not, again, mastered at the local level or state level. it's really coming from the federal government. i don't want bureaucrats in washington, d.c. telling me and

my family how they had to be taught. that's really what this is. it's a one size fits all. that's not how children learn. so we're really taking away on a local level how kids can learn. i have a big concern about special ed kids, kids who are having problems in school. these kids are going to be left behind because everyone is teaching to the test, teaching to the test. we spent three or four weeks in our classrooms just on this one test where everything else now, enrichment classes, are being dropped. our kids can't take courses like gym or music or art because they have to be taught to teach to the test. >> it's interesting because here in new york state when they did the test last year, the grades fell off the cliff. the grades were terrible. we got a quote from somebody from students first, new york execsive director. she says of you, rob is shameless. either he doesn't understand the importance of preparing kids to compete and succeed in the 21st century, global economy

or he is purposely trying to stoic fear as cheap political fear. >> look, i'm taking a principled stance. my kids will be in school today. legally they're not required to take the test. and there are not consequences to not taking the test. i'd ask the people to go to my web site. watch the video where i explain the history of common core and what it is is a federalization, takeover from washington, d.c. in many ways of school houses with curriculum and tests. the sates are being aligned to common core. why is the new york state education commissioners' children in a school that is not aligned with common core? i think he's got it right. so i would ask people to, look, this is obamacare for education. if you don't like this, then i think you want to make a stand, go to robsatorino.com. >> thank you very much. all right.

he's an iconic photo bomber. >> get you right there. >> i just hope he got off from his life guard job 'cause he should be working today. >> he's not dressed appropriately for that. >> not warm enough yet. >> fox news alert now and fox news exclusive, at this hour, the f.b.i. and military are searching for a recent army recruit. they believe he's plan ago deadly fort hood inspired attack against u.s. soldiers. peter doocy who has been following the story out of d.c what's the latest on the suspect? are they getting closer to getting him? >> reporter: we know two months ago in february the u.s. army recruited this man named booker, also known as mohammed abdullah hasan, out of anaphas in kansas city, missouri. he was set to report for basic training next monday on april 7, but has been discharged following the discovery of his desire and intention to commit jihad. an alert obtained by fox news.com is circulating with law

enforcement and fill tear officials warning -- military officials warning of a fort hood inspired jihad. at fort hood in 2009 a gunman carried out a terrorist attack that killed 13 people and injured 32 more. this wanted man, booker, apparently has already said good-bye to his friends and made some other comments that raised the possibility a deadly plot is imminent and could unfold at any time. the f.b.i. spoke to booker two weeks ago on march 20, but since lost contact. at this point booker's picture and age remain unknown to the general public and to the press. the manhunt for him is being led right now by the f.b.i. and the fort leavenworth, kansas-based 902nd military intelligence group and the reason the f.b.i. put out this alert is to make sure that officers who may come across booker know who he is and what he wants to do. back to you in new york. >> that's the key. thank you very much. our other big story today is

obamacare, open enrollment ended at midnight yesterday. they've known for years that day was coming. they knew for six months the last day would be busy and yet it was glitches galore. people all over the country had trouble signing up. the computer was up, of it down. it was up. it was down. watch. >> i tried four times. every time it would say this web site is down or trying to process, trying to process and didn't show up anything at all. >> it didn't work the first two or three times. just kept putting it off. >> we're waiting around to make sure we're going to get our turn in line. but we don't even know if we have a turn in line yet. >> we haven't been able to enroll because it was down. >> people are in panic mode right now. >> i tried to get on e-mail this morning to do it. couldn't do it. tried calling the number. couldn't do it. >> they're in the clear because the president at the last minute, his administration said if you try on the honor system to sign up, you're not going to

get that $95 fine come december. >> right. especially if you have a hardship, that extension is yours. the white house also claiming 7 million people did sign up eventually. but 1.7% of the 48.6 million uninsured are covered and -- >> is that all? >> yes. karl rove actually suggested that one number we should be focusing on is how many broken pledges, when it came to many and care and health, were actually broken when it came to the american people by the administration. take a listen. >> i can't think of a single significant promise or pledge made about the affordable care act that has been kept by this administration. you talked about a bunch of them, but there are a lot more. nobody who makes less than $250,000 a year is going to pay more in taxes. we're going to have universal coverage, which you alluded to. your premiums are going to go down. your deductibles are up. in addition to premiums up,

deductibles are up. there is not a single promise that they made that is true. it's going to add an enormous amount of money to the deficit. >> karl rove will be on this program later today. open enrollment ended. keep in mind what the program was about because there are 40 or 50 million americans without health care. we blew up everything to take care of them. yet, by elisabeth's count looking at the number of people who signed up, the white house says it's 7 million. but you deduct the people who probably double enrolled because they had the false start where they tried once, where the people who haven't paid. you got less than 2% of those who are uninsured insured today. was it really worth blowing everything up for them? it's great that they got it. but still, to impact so many people across the country for that small a margin, it does seem like a long way to go. >> you're going to judge, your premiums and deductibles and your doctor.

two, you're going to judge by what the politicians doing their own private polling. if they believe this is going to work, they're going to run on it. if they believe it's not going to work, they're going to run from it. right now the white house is saying, stand with it and no one seems to be standing with it. the only people that are talk being it are people that want to change it and they're also saying in the senate where harry reid says i'm not going to entertain any changes, even if it comes from democrats. >> some may be running against it. some may sit in awkward silence. >> what do you mean? >> an oklahoma reporter asked secretary sebelius about what's going on with obamacare. he pointed out that 64% of oklahomans are not happy, having not decided to sign up for it. taking her a little offguard as it seems, she heard what he said, but had nothing to say. >> at last check, 64% of oklahomans aren't buying into the health care plan. they don't like obamacare and they've been pretty vocal about

it. now, that's going to be still -- still continue to be a tough sell. we'll see how that plays out over the coming months. all right. secretary sebelius, thank you so much for being with us this morning. i think we've probably lost sound here or something. >> i can hear you. >> okay. >> thanks for having me. >> the first negative thing she's heard about obamacare. she's a little taken aback. >> also yesterday the president of the united states did one interview with cbs where he said i think we're on our way to making sure no american ever has to go without health care. there are still 40 million uninsured people in this country. i don't get how that's even close to being right. >> forget like the 5 million that lost their plan because it didn't live up to the obamacare standard. >> how many of the 7 million are the 5 million? >> add in the employer mandate which is coming to a theater near you, as well as the personal mandate which is coming to a fine in your taxes.

>> lot of unanswered questions there as it relates to obamacare. in the meantime, heather nauert -- >> we freaked her out last hour. >> we're going to speak now. >> a lot of unanswered questions about benghazi. and there is new information coming out. we begin with a bombshell new report that now contradicts what susan rice had said about the benghazi terrorist attacks. remember this? >> but what sparked the recent violence was the airing on the internet of a very hateful, very offensive video that has offended many people around the world. >> well, new documents now reveal that the c.i.a. station chief in libya told his superiors in washington that no demonstration took place on 9-11. this information was given to officials one day before susan rice went on five sunday talk shows to say that a demonstration led to the deadly attack. so the main question remains, did deputy c.i.a. director

michael morell tell the president about this report? lawmakers are expected to grill him tomorrow during a house intelligence hearing. we want to hear the answers to that. supervisors at the atf are in the hot seat for allowing a former official who approved the fast and furious gun running operation to double dip on his salary. a report says william mcmahon's supervisors exercised poor judgment in allowing him to collect his government salary even as he worked full time for jpmorgan. this move created potential conflict of interests for the agency's financial investigation. what do you think of that? a cloud of ethics is once again handing over the race for mayor in the capitol. the -- federal prosecutors allege gray took part in illegal fundraising that pumped more than half a million dollars into his campaign. gray has denied any involvement, but his number dropped. his running against seven other

is asking this morning, rightly so. good morning. honor to have you. >> thanks so much for having me. >> so what's the big difference here? the lack of toughness? >> i think the big difference is that you have a president in president obama that does not understand the adversary. president kennedy and president reagan understood that these are people that have a different perspective, a different way of life. it was about liberty going up against tyranny and when you saw president kennedy stand and say, we are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that freedom will flow for all people and we will go to whatever measure, then you saw president reagan stand and saying, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. president obama is looking at this from his own perspective and his own rose colored glasses. instead of realizing that vladimir putin said the number one disappointment for him of the 20th century was the collapse of the soviet union. >> he told it to president obama directly. yesterday i was talking to his former economic advisor, vladimir putin's, who worked with him up until 2005. he said, not only does vladimir

putin, he only understands one thing, and that's confrontation. not only does he want ukraine, he wants the baltic states and even wants finland. the only way to get hissing is stand up to him. when president obama said military off the table, that was a big loser. >> that was a green light for him. what we're seeing is history repeating itself because sir chamberlain in the 1930s, same thing. hitler said i want to sedate the land because i want to protect the ethnic germans. they said okay. here, you can have this. then the next thing, blitz krieg is running through czechoslovakia. putin is not done. this is a former kgb officer. he's a bully and he sees weakness in the united states of america right now. >> so he sees our president as a pushover. there is a brand-new fox news poll out that shows that a majority of americans say president obama on russia, simply not tough enough. look at that. 66%. there is one other poll i want to show you. that is from the "washington post," asking the military, was he a good commander in chief in

the military? the current president right now, 42 say yes as opposed to 48% say no. and then george w. bush, 65% say yes. he was a good commander in chief. what's the difference between the two approaches? >> i think what you're saying with president obama is misplaced priorities. you don't see a president who is focused on national security, building the military up. how can you say to your strong commander in chief when you send the secretary of state saying we're cutting the military down to preworld with a two levels. from the right hand reagan levels, we're talking about going down to 230 warships. the oceans have not shrunk. so i think that's the problem. we have a commander in chief that doesn't have a strategic vision. >> let's talk about your new book. huge day for you, "the guardian of the republic," about everything -- who you are and how you got to where you are. >> absolutely. it goes back, the formative lessons of my father and mother. my father served in world war ii. my older brother served in

good morning, april 1. temperature wise, it's going to start to feel like spring for so many of you, especially across the eastern half of the country. take a look at new york city. in the upper 50s. 60s in cleveland. the warm temperatures will make issues out there, especially in the central plains where severe weather will be a concern not only today but also as we head into wednesday and even on thursday. now let's head over to brian with a very special guest. >> let me tell you right now what's happening in the world of sports. los angeles angels not getting off to a good start. hitting coach getting a broken leg on the opening pitch. watch this video. he got hit by more pitches than anyone else in the history of baseball. he's the receiver. he hyper extended his knee. his leg is broken, he tried to get up, he could not walk. the mariners beat the angels 10-3. to help me out with sports, sports superstar, dan at danica

patrick. >> opening day controversy. for the first time ever, a major league umpire gets overruled by a computer. milwaukee brewers star ryan brawn called safe first in a game against atlanta. the braves' manager called a challenge as part of baseball's new replay system. the um buyer got on the head set. and the call was reversed. >> yeah. they put $50 million into this replay system. now we'll bring your good friend, elisabeth hasselbeck. you should hug each other 'cause it's really cold. >> i wish i could drive half as well as you did. did he get his helmet on? >> eventually. after the first mile. >> i got the hair issue. get this thing out. i can't ride a motorcycle, but i think i could ride the spider. >> that's okay. >> it's its own thing, you know. >> i read it's not a bike. it's not a trike. >> no. >> it's not a motorcycle. >> it's a spider because it's

the first thing of its kind. it's like the first thing that allows you to be able to ride in the open air, but have all of the control and stability and confidence to ride it at any point in time for your experience level. it's really fun to drive. >> even my experience level? >> but like i drove it over to a friend's house for dinner. it made the ride over, which is a whole three miles, feel like an experience, as opposed to it getting from point a to point b. paint a to point b becomes an experience. >> does it have three wheels on here? >> we got three wheels. this thing costs about 14 to $15,000. you get about 250 miles at 62 miles per gallon on one tank. so that's cool. you look cool and you're not going to fall off. >> let me ask you this. so if you're on one of these and richard petty is on another, who is winning that race? >> well, i would, of course,

like to say me. i guess that's why you run the race, right? >> i love your competitive spirit. >> he made a lot of news with an interview about saying danica patrick basically didn't have a lot of respect for your driving skills. so we asked him would he take up tony stewart's challenge, tony stewart says she's a great driver. she's on my team. here is what richard petty said to us when we said would you accept the challenge. let's listen. >> if her name would have been dan, nobody would ever said anything about all the stuff that's going on. i'm 76 years old. okay? it's been 25 years since i've been in a race car, but i'll take that challenge. >> so would you race against him? >> he's got his own cars. i don't feel like we have to spend any of tony's money or have him go to any extra expense to make it happen. he's got his own cars if he wants to make it happen. i have respect for my elders

and, you know, people are going to judge what he says. but i'm not going to. i have the faith and belief of tony stewart and the people around me, the people that own the team and that's what matters. >> when do you think you'll ever have to start fighting for respect? you think you'll always be fighting for it? >> i've thought about this a lot. i think everybody has to fight for it, whether you're a girl or guy or new. i think you have to. but i think there will just be always some people that you don't make believers and that's perfectly fine. it makes it a more interesting conversation, i suppose. but i'm sure there will always be something that will be there. >> a lot of times when guests come in, they'll leave us gifts behind. i was wondering, could we have this? >> hang on. yes. they said you can have it. >> i can have it. thank you very much. elisabeth, you can ride it today. >> okay. >> you can take it monday, wednesday, friday. i'll take tuesday, thursday. steve's got it the weekend. >> i just hit four buttons, i don't know what it's going to

states instead of being deported as they probably should have been. also 870,000 illegals have been ordered removed, but remain in the united states and only 26% of potentially deportable aliens were charged in 2013. so is this putting our national security at risk? joining us now is the woman who released that report, director of policy studies at the center of immigration studies, jessica vaughn. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> that's kind of scary, that we released close to 70,000 people who had criminal convictions. i know some of them were drunk driving. but they did include murder in some cases and rape as well. that's not the way it's supposed to work. >> well, ice has not released all the details on the exact crimes that these people are associated with. but it is concerning that interior immigration enforcement has deteriorated to the point where ice officers are being told to walk away from hundreds

of thousands of cases of illegal aliens that they've investigated and for the most part, these are people who are found in jails or as a result of a law enforcement referral. they're instructed to simply walk away from the majority of these cases. many times even if they have a criminal conviction. >> so jessica, in the past what, has been standard practice? >> well, in the past, considerations like someone's family status or political considerations, or the requested advocacy groups were not given as much weight as they have been today. since 2011, the administration issued a series of orders to ice agents to specifically exempt certain kinds of illegal aliens from immigration enforcement, even if they have criminal convictions. they've said, well, some kinds of criminal convictions are not serious enough, even if people

are here illegally to make them a target for immigration enforcement and agents have to walk away from those cases. >> that is troubling. what's the thing that bugs you the most about what you found? >> well, i think the fact that so many of these individuals are not being charged at all, not even given a court date for the future that these agents are spending the time to investigate them and question them, but can't do anything about the fact that they're here illegally, especially if there is no room to detain these individuals. and that's how we end up in this situation where there is more than 800,000 people who have been ordered removed, but who are still living here in defiance of immigration law because no one is going after them, no one is making their case a priority, and they can get away with it. that's a huge incentive for people to keep trying to get here and to simply live here

illegally, overstay their visa or what have you. >> it is troubling. jessica vaughn from cis joining us from newton, marks thank you very much. >> thank you. >> that's crazy. ten minutes before the top of the hour. coming up, cheryl casone is here with the top companies hiring right now. one of them specifically looking for new graduates. first on this date in 1954, the u.s. air force academy was established in colorado. in 1976, apple was founded. and in 1972, america had this, the number one song, that horse that was nameless. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] it's here -- xfinity watchathon week,

>> i had room. >> you did not have room! >> that's what you saw from out there on the curb. what we saw indoors and we're going to share this with you in a little bit after the news, is she went by a van and about half a second after she went by, the guy opened his door. >> are you kidding me? >> wow. >> it could have been bad. >> we're going to bring that tape later. >> we also had invisible helmets on, kids. you just can't see them. >> it was like colorform. she was able to stick them on. >> let's hope they would be more durable. you'll see those images in a little bit. right now, let's go over to heather nauert who has an f.b.i. search. >> this is an important story. everyone needs to be aware of this. fox news alert, at this hour, the f.b.i. and u.s. military are searching for a recent army recruit. they believe that he's plan ago deadly terrorist attack that was inspired by the fort hood rampage against u.s. soldiers. two months ago the u.s. army recruited this man, mohammed

abdullah hasan, also known as booker. apparently may not have a picture of this man. but he was discharged following the discovery of his intent to wage violent jihad. you all recall major nidal hasan carried out a terrorist attack at fort hood in 2009. it left 13 people, including a pregnant woman dead. the f.b.i. and military looking for that recruit. we'll keep you posted on new developments. a bombshell new report that contradicts what susan rice had said about the benghazi terrorist attack. remember this? >> what sparked the recent violence was the airing on the internet of a very hateful, very offensive video that has offended many people around the world. >> now new documents reveal that the c.i.a.'s station chief in libya told his superiors in washington that no demonstration took place on 9-11. this was reported back to officials in dc one day before

susan rice went on five sunday talk shows to say a demonstration led to that deadly attack. the question remains, did deputy c.i.a. director mike morell tell the president about this report? lawmakers are expected to grill him about this tomorrow during an intelligence hearing in the house. a new poll out that shows veterans from the wars in iraq and afghanistan are unhappy with the job that the president is doing as commander in chief. the "washington post" and the kaiser foundation polling more than 800 veterans. of those, 42% said president obama is doing a good job. 48% say that he's not. it's a lot lower than his predecessor, george w. bush. 65% of vets say george w. was a good commander in chief. colonel allen west responded earlier and here is what he said. >> i think what you're seeing with president obama's misplaced priorities, you don't see a president who is really focused on national security, building the military up. how can you say you're strong

commander in chief when you send the secretary of state out to say we're cutting the military to pre-world war ii type levels? >> and then obamacare enrollment, of course, has now ended. what is kathleen sebelius saying about it? not a whole lot. listen to this. >> at last check, 64% of oklahomans aren't buying into the health care plan. they don't like obamacare and they've been pretty vocal about it. now, that's going to be still continue to be a tough sell. we'll see how that plays out over the coming months. all right. secretary sebelius, thank you so much for being with us this morning. i think we've probably lost sound here or something. >> i can hear you. >> okay. >> thanks for having me. >> that was certainly awkward. he let her off the hook. that happened at an oklahoma news station when the reporter told her how unpopular obamacare is in that state of oklahoma and then she didn't answer. he didn't really ask her a

question, but he didn't go back and ask again. >> you would have been in there. >> thank you very much. >> see you later. >> laura ingraham, can you hear me? laura? >> guys, you know, i adore you guys, but you guys are being so unfair to kathleen sebelius. i mean, look, sometimes i can't hear what you're saying and, look, someone is talking in the next studio, elisabeth, i heard some of what you did on the motorcycle, but it's very fuzzy. look, everything is coming up roses with obamacare. enrollment is up, participation is up. it's a little more popular than it was six months ago. things, i mean, you guys won't take yes for an answer. >> is this an april fool's joke? >> april fools. >> hook, line and sinker. >> with these numbers, who is the fool? >> yeah, all the fox viewers like, wait a second. i got to adjust my tv set. what's happening with laura

ingraham? look, the administration worked really hard to get these numbers up. they had fairs. they had all the celebrities out. they had raffles. they were trying to raffle off joe biden a couple weekends ago. that jumped the numbers by at least four or five. but the bottom line still is, i think, we don't know what the real demographic breakdown is. we've gotten some reports that 80% of the people have paid their first premiums. we'll see if that's true. there are other questions about whether we have multiple sign-ups. so those are counted as many sign-ups versus just one sign-up. but there is no doubt, the administration did get the numbers from you what a lot of people thought they were last fall. but i still think systemically this law has a lot of problems. obviously premiums going up for so many americans, policies canceled, all the changes in the law, meaning that a lot of people aren't really going to feel the real pain because of the way their businesses are situated, the way their companies are organized, until really after the midterm

elections or beyond that. so yeah. they got a lot more numbers. we'll see how it all plays out. but look, the problem inside the program itself are still there. >> the whole thing, we'll be able to know if the democrats are proud of if if they feel as though they hit the number and they're on a roll, let them roll on it and let the american people decide. we had jay carney seemed very happy yesterday. listen. >> i was just struck by the senator today who confronted with numbers and i'm sure he said would never come to pass, just decided they weren't real. if we were cook the books, don't you think we ought to cook them in october and november? we could have saved ourselves a lot of pain. >> he's talking about senator barrasso who is a doctor, saying he doesn't believe the numbers and jay carney responded to that. >> look at the administration's track record on other numbers, whether it's the stimulus or cash for clunkers, or you guys were reporting on benghazi. whatever it is, right, it always seems to be revised later on in

a way that's worse for the american people. so i mean, i think the administration has a credibility problem on many issues. this is just one of them. again, who knows what the numbers will ultimately be or whether we had this amazing surge of young, healthy people in the last five days. maybe we did. but we don't really know that yet. look, jay carney's got to say what he's saying. what else is he going to say at this point? i'm not really surprised by that at all. >> he may be having to respond to an issue in terms of jobs here. did you hear it? it's actually easier to get into harvard than get a job at places like wal-mart or google? look at this. like the admissions rate across the board ivy, you know this, 8.9%. but when you look at the acceptance rate for harvard, 5.9% specifically there. and wal-mart, 2.6% of applicants get placement. >> when they open their dc

store, wegman's. at google, they take half of 1%. which goes to show you, it's easier to get into harvard, easier to get into cornell than to get a job. >> that's the untold story of this job market. what real opportunities are out there, both for lower income workers who have to compete with a lot of new immigrants, some legal, some not, and higher skilled workers or college graduates, who also see a declining job market and flat lining wages. so look, we can talk about the economy has added jobs and continued to add some jobs, but even jobs that are returning from overseas back to the united states, the wages that are being paid for those same types of jobs are actually lower than pre-recession wages. so the way you look at the economy and the way the economy is developing, it's not all bad news. there is some bright spots out there for sure. but the reality is, if you went to a four-year institution, maybe not harvard or cornell, but let's say you went to a

state school, decent school, you have this expectation of getting a certain type of job that's going to pay awe certain type of wage. a lot of those jobs are just not there today. it's much more difficult than it was obviously 15 years ago, certainly 25 years ago to get that type of job that will lead you on this pathway to pay off your loans in a prompt fashion and so forth. again, those statistics are shocking especially when some of those ivy league graduates might be working in wal-mart. >> today is april fool's day and google started this thing where if you hit the auto awesome button, they will photo bomb hasselhoff into your picture. take a look at the screen near you. do you remember this? >> yeah.emember -- that was at the obamacare -- anti-obamacare code red rally. the bad thing about that is that he was actually eating a cheeseburger off the ground. that was really sad.

you got to love the hoff, what the heck. >> thanks for being with us this morning. >> great to see you. >> scared us in the beginning. >> she did. >> she had us. >> coming up, stranded on the high seas, we're not fooling here. a sailor goes overboard in the pacific ocean 2500 miles from san diego. just wait until you hear and see how he survived. >> and constitutional madness heading for the final four. the top constitutional violations from the white house as voted by you, the people. peter johnson, jr. comes up next. ♪ ♪ (dad) well, we've been thinking about it and we're just not sure.

pressure about playing, they feel about watching. kellogg's teamed with you to bring some of those stories forward. >> never miss a game campaign. really it's about celebrating all the fans that go to great lengths not to ever miss a game. i get it. i went to a state dinner one time in the last game of the national championship series and i really wanted to watch the game. i went to the secret service. he was bringing me highlights and updates while i was sitting at the president's table. >> that's why they #nevermissagame. >> we're encouraging everyone to share their stories, unique stories and there is prizes. you can win game tickets and the grand prize has yet to be determined yet. it's a very good prize. >> we've got, for instance, tammy has written in on facebook, my father skipped school to watch mickey mantle play. my dad's parents didn't have a clue until my father was on the front page of the newspaper the next day getting mickey's

autograph. that's always a problem. that's the trouble with major league baseball being completely televised. everybody is going to wind up on tv. >> life doesn't stop. so how do you get around weddings or things that you really have to go to and you have to make a choice? >> true story, i was invited to a wedding way too young. my cousins got married. i was invited, i was like 12 years old. the yankees were playing the royals. the yankees had to come back. in order to get to the first world series in years. i watched the game through reflection in the manager's door at the window and watched the yankees come back in the late innings to win. why am i eligible to win anything? >> are you eligible? >> it's a true story! >> i'll give you a prize. >> that's what i remember more than the wedding today. >> you bring up something, the kids love the game. they'll do anything to watch the game, stay home, maybe sneak away from a wedding, whatever that is. what do you think we need to do

in the game of baseball and all of its history to make it even more fun for kids? >> because kids are playing base less these days. >> in my day, the world series was in the daytime. so they would roll in a tv in schools, so you were allowed to watch. >> i think that's part of common core now. >> yeah. >> again, that's a hard thing, you lose some of the kids out there. but baseball is thriving at the youth level. >> you think so? >> the numbers seem to be dwindling, but of those who play, they play more of it. and you can see the same joy that we had as kids. baseball at the big league level is more popular than ever. >> the stats say the average age was 54 years about five years ago. now it's up to the 60s that watch the world series. are you worried about the game -- the fans are getting older, but the younger kids aren't? >> in a way. they're doing things to spread the game around the world. starting with opening day in australia this year. they've done that in japan as

well. i think major league baseball is trying to appeal. what i'm doing these days is appeal to the younger group, trying to grow the game that way. we all could play a role in helping promote the game. >> and if you would like to play a role with the kellogg's contest, go to twitter and #nevermissagame. >> about instant replay, baseball put $50 million for instant replay. managers get one instant replay a game. what do you think? >> i like the idea of using technology. i think they were a little long in adding technology in. but baseball is a game that the umpires still get together and huddle every once in a while. if you can insert just an ear piece in that says, hey, you really miss the that call and reverse the obvious calls, i think that would be great. i don't know how the strategic play from a manager, with weather to use it or not use it, how that will play out. it feels a little weird to me. the challenge system is something i have to get used to. >> game changer for sure perhaps. >> thank you. >> always a pleasure. cal ripken, junior.

>> he doesn't like when you hit him on the shoulder. >> too bad, i just did it. >> we'll get some ice. >> he hits back, that's the problem. >> coming up on this tuesday, how does a terrorist militant who held americans hostage get in the united states? we give him a visa, of course. shocking details coming up. and the deadline to sign up for obamacare is over. but the fight against it isn't over yet. strong opponent and senator ted cruz going to weigh in. >> singing cruz you have time to shop for car insurance today? yeah. i heard about progressive's "name your price" tool? i guess you can tell them how much you want to pay and it gives you a range of options to choose from. huh? i'm looking at it right now. oh, yeah?

yeah. what's the... guest room situation? the "name your price" tool, making the world a little more progressive. but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especlly those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoidt where axirons applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or incased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctorbout all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased sk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping

reflect the people who didn't have insurance. mckinzie and company did a study and found the people signing up, only 11% had been uninsured before. another study found 28%. so the bulk of the people who are signing up had insurance to begin with and you know what? they probably this their insurance canceled because of obamacare 'cause we know that over 6 million people had their health insurance canceled because of obamacare. >> lot of fuzzy numbers there. but what do we do? the american people clearly were in favor, according to recent polls, of changes being made to this law. is that the way to go or a complete repeal? next step? >> i think at this point it is abundantly clear this thing isn't working. it has caused millions of americans to lose their jobs, to be forced into part-time work, to lose their health insurance, or to see their premiums skyrocket. you take a 27-year-old single man in the individual market in texas, his premiums have gone up over 70%. at this point, you can't fiddle around the edges.

i think it is thence of pragmatism to recognize this thing isn't work. let's start over and repeal every word of it. >> you are kind of in a minority when it comes to that. i know the democrats are saying mend it, don't necessarily defend it. but you look at the polling, senator, and a lot of americans like parts of it, would like to see parts of it continue, so to blow the whole thing up, i don't know if people are behind that. >> look, i got to tell you, you look at every poll that's done and you've got -- the support for obamacare is in the 30s. this is the most profoundly unpopular law we have seen in modern times. the reason is it's personal. every time i go home, i encounter men and women who will stop me back in texas and they'll say, listen, i had my health insurance canceled because of obamacare. i've got a little girl with diabetes. i'm scared for my family. this is personal and it's real. now, a lot of folks are not necessarily optimistic that it can be repealed because the

president tells them every day, harry reid tells them every day ask a lot of the news media tells them it can't be repealed, but i'll tell you, you can't force this on the american people. i think it will be repealed because the american people are demanding it. >> what we hear is that people like the idea of the preconditions, for example. they like that idea that you can't get kicked off for preconditions. if you look at obamacare and say okay, out of the 2 million page, i like page 11009, are you going to go through elements of that and find a new plan to replace it? where is the cruz plan? >> i think the principles for common sense health care reform are well established. i've been talking about it a long time. a lot of republicans have been talking about it. i think we need more competition, more choice and we need to empower consumers to make decisions with their doctors without government getting in the way. i think the three most important reforms once we repeal obamacare are number one, allowing people to buy health insurance across state lines. that will create a 50-state

national marketplace which means you'll have low cost catastrophic plans available. the biggest barrier to access is cost. and if you want more access, you want more choices and lower cost. what obamacare does is it has fewer choices and higher cost. number two, we should expand health savings accounts so you can save in a tax advantaged way for health needs. and number three, and this is critical, we need to delink health insurance from employment so that if you lose your job, you don't lose your health insurance. just like you don't lose your car insurance or life insurance or health insurance or your house insurance. if you do that, then health insurance becomes personal, affordable. that's the sort of reform that empowers consumers. i think that's what americans want rather than empowering the government bureaucrat to get -- >> how to do that would be interesting n bring it home. i want to bring to you something else. your great emergency renaissance bill. what can you tell us? >> people are hurting across this country. we've got the lowest labor force

participation we've had since 1978. and at the same time, i think we really have a providential blessing of an energy renaissance that is just beginning, that's coming from the private sector. we are opening up vast new resources and the number one thing that can screw it up, could screw am the millions of high paying jobs that are becoming available is government. government getting in the way. so last week i introduced in a bill the american energy renaissance act to prevent government from getting in the way, to insure that fracking is not regulated at the federal level, but regulated at the state level, to open up new federal lands, to build the keystone pipeline. all of these together have the potential to allow millions of high-paying jobs to be created and that's what we ought to be talking about in congress. it's the number one priority of the american people and harry reid won't even talk about it. >> and expand global presence. >> we need lots more jobs. >> senator, i don't know if you've watched "fox & friends" in the past, but we've always had kind of a dress code. why aren't you wearing a jacket?

>> even ripken had a jacket. >> ouch! >> look, the "noah" movie is in town and it's raining outside. i think i may need to jump on a ship outside. >> did harry reid take your jacket? >> he has the habit of doing that and also taking people's lunches. >> unbelievable. >> i have heard through the grapevine, senator, that you may have recently gotten a tattoo. is there anything to that? >> well, i will say, i was out in california a couple of weeks ago and there was some street art that was a little unusual. and i got to tell you -- >> we're looking at it. >> politics is a strange thing. it inspired me and so i'm very proud to say -- i'm proud to stand with winston churchill. i'm proud to stand and i got to say, my wife was fairly astonished. >> wait a minute. you have a tattoo of winston

churchill? i can smell that cigar from here! >> your wife just wanted her name on your arm, that's all. >> wait a second. is that hen inna or real? >> if you look at the calendar, it might suggest something about what you're seeing. >> wow. >> funny. >> i thought we had a big story. >> there you go. >> we might have to wake up shepard smith. >> joke's on us. >> senator ted cruz, who is tattooed today, but get him before he showers next time. thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you, take care. >> how funny is that? >> pretty funny. >> i'm still not sure what happened. heather nauert, do you have the final newscast? >> do you have a tattoo? >> that was a great one. we were all glued to the camera. i have a story about iran that's really outrageous. first, there is some dramatic video. caught on camera, sailors trying to rescue one of their own who fell overboard. take a look at this tiny speck

in the water. this is a guy who slipped off the deck of the sailboat during on around the world race. he was knocked into the freezing cold water 2500 miles offshore when a huge wave hit his boat. he spent 90 minutes in the water before his crew was able to reach him. listen to this. >> i didn't know if they were look for me or not. i didn't know if they could see me. they were further and further away. >> lucky to be alive. his dry suit and life jacket saved him, in part because the bright neon color helped rescuers spot him in the water. this boat was sailing from san francisco to china, halfway to china when this happened. also new overnight, malaysian officials just admitting that they were wrong about the last known words said in the cockpit of the missing jet. officials now aren't even sure

who was talking. originally they claimed that all right, good night, was the copilot's final message. but it turns out that the last words were good night, malaysian 370, which is considered really just a routine statement. officials say they aren't sure who uttered those last words, if it was the pilot or the copilot. listen to this one. this is a story about iran that i was telling you about. how does a terrorist militant who held americans hostage get into the united states? we give them a visa. why? because iran is trying to name him its ambassador to the united nations. one former american hostage, barry rosen, says giving him a visa would be a complete disgrace. he says it may be a precedent, but if the president and the congress don't condemn this act by the islamic republic, then our captivity and suffering for 444 days at the hands of iran was for nothing. the state department is now staying tight lipped on the issue. but the white house may actually not be able to stop it.

the government can only reject the diplomat's visa if they present a national security risk. so there is legal options being raised. amazing. spanish historians claim they have found the holy grail in spain. they say the cup christ drank from the last supper was fused into this ornate chalice. researchers say egyptian documents confirm that this is actually the real deal. they've been able to trace the cup's journey if jerusalem to cairo where it was apparently traded to a spanish king as a peace offering. those are your headlines. if you're interested in that, there's a new book that came out about it detailing all the research that went into it. fascinating. >> that's really great. >> when they say fused, what do they mean fused? >> i think it became part of the cup. >> because the cup wasn't nice, right? >> how do you know?

>> because they didn't have much money then. >> it was gold. >> did they add the gold? >> you're telling me the apostles had gold? >> it looked like gold. >> all right. maria, you have something unrelated. >> yeah, good morning. the weather forecast across the country. we are looking at temperatures warming up, especially across the eastern half of the country. take a look at new york city. you're going to make it into the upper 50s today. 60s in cleveland. and you will be in the 50s in the city of chicago. that's good news out there. the bad news, we're expecting severe weather and that includes the center of the country today, tomorrow, and even into thursday. so we are expecting the threat for large hail, isolated tornadoes and damaging winds from some of these storms. temperature wise, we'll stay warm overt next several days. as i toss it back inside, we should be 80 degrees in new york city coming up this weekend. brian? >> we'll take it. >> all right. >> april fool. >> come on. i was the guy in the rain all weekend long without a dry suit

desire to commit jihad. a law enforcement alert obtained by fox news.com specifically states that their concern is over a fort hood-inspired jihad against u.s. soldiers. remember, 13 people were killed and 32 others injured in a terrorist attack on fort hood in 2009. in this case, f.b.i. agents in the kansas city division say they interviewed booker just two weeks ago on march 20 and they have information now that he's told his friends good-bye and made other comments that create the impression his jihad is imminent and a deadly plot could unfold at any time. that's all contained in an alert that is being circulated among police in kansas city and officers throughout the military as well, with the purpose of trying to protect people who might come across booker. so that they know what he's all about and it is normal for bulletins like this one that threaten military installations and personnel to be shared among

agencies like what's happening right now. >> let me ask you, we have not yet as of yet seen a photo of this booker. now we hear his friends, leaving remarks about him saying good-bye. is there a reason why we have not seen a photo? >> reporter: elisabeth, we haven't seen a photo and we don't know how old this person is that they're looking for. the reason is we don't have the full alert. our friends at foxnews.com got a portion of the alert that just has the basics. it's got this person's name, that he says he intends to commit jihad and when he was supposed to report for basic training. beyond that, so far we don't have any more specifics. >> peter doocy, thank you for bug, bringing us that. if you have anything breaking, we'll be standing by. >> thanks. in other news, democrats, are they deflating ahead of the mid terms? independents key to winning elections. but are dems in jeopardy losing their vote come november?

i don't know if you guys heard about this, but the secret service arrested a man today. they arrested a man today after he tried to scale a fence at the white house. they reportedly said to the man, sorry. but you still have two more

years, mr. president. you have to stay. >> new polls showing democrat support dropping among key groups. support down to 50% with millenials and 38% with both white voters and independent voters. are democrats in serious trouble of losing additional seats in the house and the senate entirely? here to weigh in is former senior advisor to president bush and fox news contributor, karl rove. it's amazing how things changed since the fall. what is happening to democratic support, especially among youngsters? >> yeah. a couple of things. first of all, the intensity is on the republican side. the opponents of obamacare, the opponents of the administration, the opponents of the democrats, the intensity is with them. second, the president's job approval today is worse than it was in october of 2010 when the democrats took a shellacking and for the president, his ratings on effectiveness, on leadership have been declining. they're well below where they were in october of 2010.

this is being seen in the polling among three critical groups. independents are now for the republicans for congress. white voters are as intense and as supportive as the republicans in 2010. but surprisingly, one that's most interesting to me is millenials. those under the age of 29 and below. they were among the president's strongest supporters in 2008. they were the biggest group to drop off by 2012 and today their job approval is just above the national average. not way above it as it used to be. >> unless republicans give them an alternative, they'll stay home. so what is the republican alternative? is it just to criticize obamacare and hit the economy? >> well, look, there is a great tendency to accentuate obamacare and that's good, keep plugging away on it. but you've got to offer an alternative to obamacare as well as calling for its repeal. but the other thing to remember is that the president's job approval on the economy is very

low. much lower than it was in 2010 and the view of the che is very pessimistic. 28% in a recent poll said the economy was good or excellent. 28% said it was poor. by comparison, in 1986, ronald reagan's second midterm election, 44% said the economy was good or excellent. and only like 16% thought it was poor. he lost a lot of seats. so it's setting it up for even more of a loss. but the republicans have got to talk about the economy as well as obamacare and in both instances, they've got to provide a positive vision of what they want to do about the economy and about health care. >> your graphics, if i knew you had such fancy graphics, i would have saved all that money on the "fox & friends" in the corner. >> exactly: i got to tell you, i got a vast budget from of course fox on those. >> more "fox & friends" in just a moment. that's karl rove. he's still talking
