guy who opened up his truck door. >> look how close you came to hitting the van. >> could have been ugly. >> bye, everybody. bill: morning everybody. there has been another major setback for gm. they are recalling another million cars as its ceo gets ready to face questions from investigators. martha: gm's ceo who is relatively new to the job but not new to gm, she met with loved ones of 13 people killed as a result of this defective switch. it took the company nearly 10

years to come around to it. bill: steve centanni is in washington. how will she explain this? >> reporter: she is expected to apologize for gm' behavior on a safety problem that's been linked to 13 deaths. gm developed aific for the problem in 2004 but it k developed a fix for the problem in 2004 but the recall didn't come until this year. she he sitting here today i can't tell you why it took years for a safetyific to be taken care of.

bill: how can she explain why it took so long to deal with this issue. >> reporter: federal regulators are saying it may involve cost. she says when she has answers she'll be fully transparent with congress. gm did put out this response last week. >> that it took 10 years means we have work to do. we hired a former u.s. district attorney to lead the process to investigate so we get every lesson learned. >> reporter: today's hearing begins at 2:00 p.m. martha: with this latest recall,

gm called back 5 million vehicles in the last couple months. each for a variety of different problems. this latest recall linked to faulty power steering systems. 500,000 vehicles were recalled due to potential oil leaks. and then others were called back because of a faulty axle shaft. bill: we'll speak with tim murphy, the chairman of the house committee holding the hearing today. martha: as the clock struck midnight open enrollment for obamacare technically over. the government reportedly hit

their mark of 7 million. stuart varney, you said you watch they will find a way to say they hit the 7 million number. >> yesterday at this time there was a full court press to show obamacare has been a success. vice president biden, yea carney, they were all out there spinning the success of obamacare. unfortunately just as all this happened, the website went down twice. and hundreds of thousands of people who tried to get on could not get on. what was initially a full-court press turned out to be a full-court disaster. >> you will be eligible for that extension because you tried and you surfaced on the old website. it comes down to how many people are paid customers here.

>> reporter: there are all kinds of questions which have not been pansd. you are right. who has paid. we don't know. if you enroll but not pay, you are not insured. we still have tens of millions of people who are uninsured. we went into this in the first place to insure them. and there is always broken promises. you can't always keep your doctor and you can't always keep your plan. and the costs will gone have dramatically. we upended 1/6 of the united states economy, we changed our healthcare system dramatically and what have we got? maybe 1 million people who used to be uninsured who are now insured. we have done all of that. >> that's the number, stuart, that we need to get a handle on. i heard that's as low as 400,000.

people who didn't have insurance and now have a policy in their handle. bill: a moment of silence. when secretary sebelius appeared on a local news station in oklahoma city, the cane or how do not season camera point out a majority of oakan oak oa' them . secretary sebelius thank you for being us this morning. i think we probably lost sound here or something. >> i can hear you. thanks for having me. bill: so. it is not clear whether they lost audio. it's not clear whether that was

posed in the form after question and she what is waiting for a question as opposed to a statement. regardless, is obamacare here to stay? send us a tweet. >> it's like she thought that wasn't a question. that's my guess. but we'll see. she has had a lot of talking to do. let's bring you now to this fox news alert and break details on missing malaysian airlines flight 370. malaysian airlines is change their account of the final word from the cockpit. they were actually good night, malaysian 370. not all right, good night which is a bit more innocuous some are saying. it feels a little bit different.

what do they think it means? >> reporter: it means the malaysian officials have kept up this inaccuracy for three weeks when they knew it was wrong and that further undermines people's confidence in their investigation. and they no longer say those word were spoken by the first officer nor do they say they were spoken by the chief pilot, shah *. or hamid *. .the tower respond. then hamid supposedly says, all right, good night. malaysian authorities have given us no explanation for this discrepancy. though government officials have told reporters they believe

the sharp left turn of that airplane about that time was quota criminal act. they do not say who said those word or who flew the plane other than i'm quoting it was someone who had knowledge about how to fly the plane. it could be for investigative reasons they are not release this information. martha: it raises questions about credibility to be sure. what is the latest on the search effort? >> reporter: you have 9 ships in the area for five days but nothing confirms it's a piece of flight 370 or belonging to one of the passengers. that's that first critical step. once you have the positive evidence, then they can backtrack and determine where the plane actually crashed and find out more information about what happened. but nothing. and the clock is ticking, the

black box battery has 30-35 days. we are 24 days into this thing so we are running out of time. there is also information in today's "wall street journal" there will be is a lack of coordination in the search effort that led a lot of delays. bill: funky stuff. the copilot. now we don't know who said it. and the word themselves have changed. just like the facts that have come out of malaysia since the very beginning. >> we know the benghazi attacks did not spring from a protest as the white house first said. a congressional hearing is about to begin on this scandal. martha: a fallout from a "wall

street journal" report that wall street is rig. what the feds are looking into prompted by that report. bill: the state that may dump it's website at the cost of millions of dollars. >> the total bill will be $250 million, $200 million from the federal government and they are way under their enrollments. creates something else as well: jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it

with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

martha: the fbi says it's looking into a trading scheme upon wall street. investigators state allows the the big guys to take unfair advantage of the flows of the market. the fbi says it devetted a large

number of agents to this. bill: an investigation into the role michael morrell played in crafting the talking points. the station chief told him ... john bolton is with us. is this the hearing we have been waiting for? >> it depend on whether members of congress bear down in their questioning. i think the fact that the cia chief said there was no demonstration. this is the top guy in libya

looking at testimony by state department employees and local source, from the media and you name it. in this judgment the guy on the ground is no demonstration. and that gets ignored. bill: so the station chief writes morell and says there is no evidence of these street protests. who does the station chief report to in washington? >> he reports back up to the cia bureaucracy. there is no dplowt my mind whether on secure phones or open phones, state department and cia and probably military personnel in libya were talking to their counterparts back in washington. the on people who thought that attack on the consulate came from this who hammed a video

were people back -- on this mohammed video were people back in washington. when asked before what multiple streams of information, it towrns ou -- itturns out the nor other middle eastern newspapers. who are we going to believe? bill: did morell share the assessment with the white house and the state department? >> not clear and i think those are key questions. i think the cia made a mistake in getting involved in drafting these talking points to begin with. the questioning should show that morell was trying to please his masters in the white house. bill: in the washington times

story and other places apparently an intelligence official said morell informed the white house. if you can prove that, that would be a strong indictment. >> whether it's morell or somebody else, the reality of what happened on september 11 came in conflict with the administration's ideology, that the war on terror is over, al qaeda is on the run and bin laden is dead. that's what the members of congress have to focus on. bill: but the cia drafted these talking points for what, members of the administration to talk about it? does it usually happen that way? >> absolutely not. the reports are the c, eric

rolled. if you want to avoid it being politicized. remember the criticisms of the bush administration. if you want to keep the cia out of politic they should on the point out when classified material is about to be revealed. it's not about fact, it's always about policy. bill: did anyone in libya who was there during the time, either benghazi or tripoli. did anyone suggest that a demonstration was to blame for what happened that night in benghazi? >> the answer to that is no. there is no evidence any american on the ground in benghazi or tripoli had any illusion this was anything other than a terrorist attack from the get-go. bill: hearings tomorrow, ambassador john bolton. thank you. martha: asiana airline admitting

some new mistakes after the deadly plane crash last july. bill: a 911 operator first day on the job gets a call from her own family. >> stay on the line and i'll tell you exactly what to do next. really? what's wrong with trying new things? look! mommy's new vacuum!

bill: asiana airlines says their pilot flew too slow before crashing into a seawall in san francisco. according to document released today the airline claims an auto pilot malfunction helped contribute to that crash. martha: researchers are going

down below the surface of the gulf of mexico assessing the long-term damage that may have been caused by the bp oil spill that happened some four years ago and they will do it using the same sub hat explored the wreck of the titanic. thousand are they going to do this? >> reporter: they are going to dive to the ocean floor. the last time, she says the ocean floor should have been like a judge she says even miles away from the well head, things just weren't right. >> it was a significant impact. at one site near the well head there were no animals, and when there were animals they were clearing not as they should be. there were large groups of

animals sitting there look at us with a bizarre stunned look. they didn't run away. >> reporter: she'll be going back tomorrow and we'll find out later today what she found. martha: what does she expect? does she have expectations as she goes down? >> reporter: she has expectations but she doesn't know what she's going to find when she hits the ocean floor later this morning. when you look at the fish populations, they have rebound. but on the ocean floor a mile and a half below the surface. things move much more slowly base of the high pressure and darkness and throe slow turnover of water. >> my hope is there is recovery and my fear is it will be the

same. >> reporter: she plans 22 dives in total the next month and she is afraid she'll see the same thing she did four years ago which means even those top of the gulf is healthy, the entire water column is not healthy. bill: yesterday about this time you might have seen a graphic on the obamacare signup numbers. here is what it should have looked like. on the left it shows the $6 million compared to the target number of $7 million plus. bill: an ex-army recruit on the run. bill: a gm executive on the hot

seat on why it took so long to recall a part that caused a dozen deaths. >> we have apologized and that's just one step in the journey to resolve this.

bill: so the fbi on hunt for a

former recruit accused of plotting a fort hood-type massacre. >> reporter: authorities are saying this man is named booker. also known as abdullah hassan. he was all set to report to basic training next monday, april 7. but he was discharged last week. here is the warning about this man in an fbi alert being circulated among police and military officers in the midwest. it says booker quote publicly stated his intention to commit jihad, bidding farewell to his friends and making comments his jihad was imminent. the headline on that alert specifically said a fort

hood-inspired jihad against american soldiers. in this case fbi agents say they interviewed booker two weeks ago on march 20. now they are trying to track him down again before he's able to act. bill: which agencies are leading in the search? >> reporter: the fbi and the military intelligence group out of fort leavenworth, kansas. but police in kansas city have the full bulletin being sent to military officers so installations know to be on the lookout for booker so they know what might be on his mind if he shows up. bill: peter doocy, keep us posted on that. martha: the ceo of general motors set to testify on capitol hill. mary barra who has only been in the ce sorks job for a few weeks

but has worked for gm for many years will place plenty of questions why it took so long to issue a massive recall tied to defective ignition switches. those problems are believed to be connected to at least 1/2 13 deaths. one of those deaths. one of those vick tapes was amber rose. the ignition key slipped out of the run condition. when she crashed her airbag failed to deploy. amber's mother is vowing to keep up the pressure on gm and the government. >> i contacted them multiple times and i didn't get through the call center. they inform meade they were not interested in what i had. martha: joining me now is republican congressman tim murphy, the chair of the subcommittee that will lead today's hearing.

obviously a lot of emotions on all sides really involved in this issue. we heard from the families. we just heard from one of the family members there. but what do you want to hear today from the ceo of gm, mary barra. >> there was a decision made a decade ago despite this ignition i switch not meeting specifications they went ahead and approved it anyway. i want to know why. what was taking place that general motors to allow them to accept a part that they said was inappropriate. than when they put it into new cars why didn't they retrofit it into the old cars? we saw that they looked at costs here. there was a business case and it said it didn't meet the can card. would i like to know what they mean by business case. even though mary bar march maryy

be new to gm she needs to explain why things weren't handled right. martha: you phrase you just mentioned about it not being a business case. the document today did not explain the criteria for a quote acceptable business case and how the decision was made in this case. they were trying to figure fought they had cull aabilit ha- culpability. mary barra is getting credit for how she handle it since she stepped up to the ceo job. here is a bit of mary barra. >> something went wrong with our process in this instance and

terrible things happened. as a member of the gm family and a mom with a family of my own this hits home for me. we apologized. but that's just one step in the journey to resolve this. martha: one of the other issues that comes up here is the government and why the government failed on two separate occasions to open an inquiry into this issue. there are questions to be answered on the government side as well. >> compare mary barra's comments to what's coming out of' nitsa. they messed up, too on two separate occasions. they had on their website up to a couple days ago if you only take off your extra car keys

from the key fob maybe you will be safe. that's not an acceptable position. martha: what if any role does the bailout of gm play in this story? obviously this was a company that was known tongue and cheek as government motors because of a government bailout. is that a story in your mind? >> some people are talk about what impact it had on the bankruptcy. but were think play layoffs in their safety division? was there continuity? we know there wasn't among the ceos. but what about the people looking at the switches. did they have enough people on board? it's important know if those were in place or they were a cr-

or they were sacrificed when they were in financial trouble. they will be looking at a number of things. people who made decisions. did they accept what shouldn't a convenient accepted, did they meet their even standards. and nitsa needs to make sure they are not pointing fingers of blame and they are taking responsibility, too. martha: we have so much regulation in place and i think a lot of americans would like to see the regulators doing their job. we'll be watching with interest this afternoon and speak to you later on it. good to have you, sir. bill: check out the markets, up 48 points. investors reacting to gm's

increased recall. the dow closing up over 16,500. take a check of that there it the morning. martha: getting out of prison because you may not mare well -y not fare well while you are there. bill: the 8 that may dump its trouble into the obamacare exchange. the tens of millions that went into it have been wasted and a congressman says that's only the tip of the iceberg. >> i'm not sure anybody knew how to run this kind of business, how to oversee this kind of business, but they forged ahead. spending $200 million federal taxpayer dollars on and exchange they knew didn't work. ♪

martha: a judge's sentencing in

delaware is stirring controversy. the judge giving an heir to the du pont fortune probation for sexually abusing his daughter since she was 3 years old. the sentence has mystified some legal observers who say treat is typically used when sentencing drug addicts, not chime -- not x abuse offenders. bill: the state of maryland decided to dump its failed exchange website. it cost $407 million s so far to build. what did maryland taxpayers get for their money so far?

>> they got nothing. the state wants a do-over. they spent hundreds of millions of dollars. they haven't paid some of the contractors. everybody is pointing fingers and everyone else. the oversight left a lot to be desired but they want to bring in the connecticut system and see if that will work any better bill where connecticut did it better? >> the connecticut system was less complicated. maryland tried to do their medicaid reenrollments through the system. if they do the the same thing on the connecticut system that may not work either. bill: we are 6 months down the road. how did your state mess up so badly? >> i don't know. that's why we have an inspector general looking into it. we had three years to get it done right. they can't.

they have 7 months before they have to go online. that's why they are making the decision this early. it's not a lot of time to get a new exchange set up. there are a lot of people in maryland and the legislature at least on the republican side who think they should have gone with the federal system and not taken another chance. bill: just go with the federal system when it saved maryland a lot of money? how much more money do you think you will have to spend before you get this right? >> the low estimate with adding the connecticut system is at least $30 million. but i suspect it's closer to $60 million to $80 million. why don't wist go to the federal exchange. it doesn't work perfectly but it's better than the maryland exchange. the estimate what is $261

million all said and done and that's just stunning. a square of a billion that we d' a quarter billion that we are not sure is going to work. bill: people are building web sites in their garage. how much could this happen? >> how they could have spent oh much money and gotten a product they are literally just walking away from. bill: 50,000 signups as of march 22 of this year. and the target or at least they hoped to have 150,000 in your state sign up. if those numbers are true, and i'm asking you if they are, you are one-third of the way there. >> that's right. they won't get to even the lowered target. they lowered the state tarring tote 70,000. we don't know how many of those

people actually paid a people im. we don't know how many of those people are part of the 70 thiewrks wh70,000who had their e canceled. we have no idea how many truly uninsured people got insurance through the exchange. weep already had a plan that paid for preexisting conditions. so i suspect that the number of newly uninsured people who are get understand on the exchange is actually going to turn out to be quite low. we spent a whole lot of money to get there. bill: do you have an idea how many people who did not have understand before now have insurance as of march 31, yesterday? >> no, we don't. the federal government spent over $6. >> -- over $600 million to dote

can't and the question, did you have insurance before. the whole goal of this was to get people who didn't have insurance before. you would think that would be something the federal government could have answered after spending $600 million on that. bill: weir we were cold 30 million americans were uninsured. then that number popped to 40 million-plus. how many people did you cut into that number in the previous shiks month signup period? we don't know. and for what? >> we don't know. the fact that we can't and that question and secretary sebelius comes before congress and not on they can't answer, they will probably never be able to answer. bill: why never? >> they didn't collect that

information. you would have to go to each insurance company and match, month picked up a policy, who dropped a policy. the law didn't seek to answer that question when they set up the exchanges. republican from maryland, thank you for your time out of baltimore, sir. martha: one of the and ended craig's list killers is facing a judge after she made another chilling jailhouse confession. bill: these protests turning to mayhem in a major american city. we'll talk to the mayor about what went wrong here. >> i think the chief made a mistake when he was asked the question what he thought is it justified i think he gave an honest response but i think it was a mistake.

bill: the department of transportation requiring a backup camera by 2018. that technology is already available as a standard fee our or optional upgrade. the move is to prevent backup accidents which apparently kills over 200 people every year. martha: a fox news alert. one of the and ended craig's list killers is in court. miranda barber and her husband are charged with luring a man with an ad for female companionship and killing him in their car. her hearing comes days after she confessed to dozens of other murders in another jailhouse interview.

what did she have to say? >> reporter: nothing this morning. she has made some fantastic claims and there is no evidence to back up any of it except for that one murder she and her husband have been charged with. that's why she was moved from the courthouse to an evidentiary hearing. the 19-year-old is charged with brutally stabbing a man who responded to a craigslist ad. american today took it a lot first and she said she killed at least 22 others in a multi state 6-year crime spree that started when she was 13 years old after running away from home to join a satanic cult. >> a lot of people in different subcultures she is part of, drug

culture, prostitution subculture. those people disappear every single day. they are not necessarily dead. but she is part of multiple subcultures where people do go missing and you could be deceased and nobody would know. >> reporter: miranda said she would be willing to talk to the fbi about this but so far that hasn't happened. march already a local reporter interviewed her a couple of times. does he think she is credible? >> reporter: apparently so. he met with miranda behind bars. he said she is short on details that might give location and identities. >> she said people are looking

for full body and she said you are not going find that. she said you would find body parts. >> reporter: he talked to miranda's sister who said miranda is a big liar and she is a big fan of the show "dexter" and the sister thinks that's where all these stories came from. bill: 13 deaths linked to a defective ignition switch and those families expected to speak at any time on the hill. this before the testimony of the ceo of general motors. martha: open enrollment for obamacare is over. the white house says they shall close to their 7 million mark. we'll go live to the white house on that next. >> no one expected us to surpass

>> all right. we are now waiting for a news conference from families who say their relatives were victims of the defect in the gm cars. this is hours before the ceo is set to testify in front of congress. the issue is a faulty ignition switch that is believed to be connect tod connected to 13 deaths. that defect, as you know, was what led to a recall of 3 million cars and they named a new safety chief, but it took ten years to do all of that while these families have been trying to get somebody to listen and take action on their story. we will keep a close eye on that. and this this morning as well,

open enrollment is obamacare is now over and the white house is declaring victory for all of those who enrolled. they say a last-minute surged help them to the original goal of 7 million signed-up. remember, kathleen sebelius said that is what success would look like. i am martha maccallum and welcome fooa brand new hour of "america's newsroom." >> and i am bill hemmer. more than 3 million visits to the website and a million phone calls. >> chief correspondent ed henry is here live. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. officials are being quite because they want to make sure the numbers add up which is an

important element of this. at the beginning, the website was such a disaster officials were saying we cannot turn this around immediately and we will not get the numbers for a month or so after sign-ups and now within 24 hours, officials familiar with the law are saying we hit the seven million number. so there is going to be scrutiny in terms of if they eat the number. jay carney is believing this is a remarkable comeback story given where they started. but the republicans are saying how many of the people signed up were not insured before and how many were booted off their insurance. >> there has been a remarkable story since the dark days of october and november and on the last day of enrollment we are looking at a number larger than

six million people enrolled >> i know the website they don't have if people had or haven't had insurance. the number one goal of the president is to insure the uninsured and they don't ask the question. >> another key difference is signing up and enrolling. did you actually pay your premium and enroll? there is a study suggesting that 80% of people paid premiums and that is 5.7 million so all of the numbers will be scrutinized closcrutinized closely >> the administration says they knew this big surge would happen all along

>> we expected the numbers to be significant as we have seen in this period toward the end of the open enrollment period as we predicted all along that there would be a number of people at the deadline would sign-up and that is what we are seeing. >> we have chris here and they hit their numbers. they are very happy! >> we met a goal we set for ourselves despite everything we did to make it impossible. only in this city can you take credit for not utterly ruining their own target. this has to be a washington kind-of holiday. >> bill was talking from the representative from maryland and we didn't who didn't have health

insurance before and that is why we have the bill at all. but there was never a box that says did you have health care before, booted off your own plan, what is your story? we don't know. >> that is the last thing they want to know. they need to wait week and months before they start knocking down the number they worked hard to construct. they will sign up sunny and beau the dog, get the number up there, it has forgotten and they moved on and they say it was really more like five million of those half of them were kicked o off previous plans and it is only 2.5 million and a million those were not desirable for the insurance companies >> it is like when the gdp gets

an adjustment a month later. the ultimate test is going to be in november. people's individual experience with what happened to them. >> all of this tough is just beltway -- stuff -- junk that people do. we did great, we say we did great, mission accomplish doesn't feed the bulldog. when people's rates go up and cancelations that is going to be more consequential. that is why the president might use this holiday as a excuse to give kathleen sebelius a golden watch and saying you can go back and enjoy spring in kansas >> she looks exhausted. it has been a rough go for her. no doubt about it. >> don't forget the dog >> see you soon, chris. >> beau and sunny!

>> what do you think? is obamacare here to stay, america? send us a tweet at bill hemmer and martha maccallum and we will share your thoughts later in the show. you can talk about your dogs if you would like. talk to us on twitter for the next 54 minutes. top story here, the death toll rising in the devastating mudslide that wiped out a neighborhood in washington state. 24 people confirmed dead not including three bodies pulled from the mud yesterday waiting to be identified. the police were able to narrow the list of people who still remain missing. >> the sheriff's office has released a list of the 22 games that they believe are missing in the slide. there has been a exhausting list

to narrow it down. to release the list of 80-90 names would have been irresponsible. >> the governor is asking to declare the area a state of emergency. >> and we have dangerous storms with wind, hill and tornados. on the cold side of the system, you still have snow. you have to feel for the folks in fargo. they are dealing with a blizzard and this isn't april fools video. they have more than 20 inches of snow and authorities shutting down major highways and advi adviseing people to stay inside. a rise in housing prices.

core logic said home prices rose 12% in february from a year ago and that was up from january's year over year pace of 12%. but the higher prices, and snow storms and higher mortgage rates knocked the home sales down to the lowest level in nine months. there is top criticism out there for the president saying nothing good has come from the obamacare white house. is that fair? we will debate it. >> and a report showing thousands of criminal immigrants that were allowed to go free is said to be misinterpting the facts >> and new on the work as a 911 operator and finding out who is on the other end of had line.

>> my hands over the key board but i had to get it in.

equal pay so i can go on and on >> mary katharine, that is an impressive list. >> it does gave weight to people's talk who say they they voted for obama. not many say this was the guy i thought would change the season. you can give the list of the three things obama has done, but he was supposed to change the world. this is the worst rebound we had have from a recession and people are muddling along and not seeing what he was supposed to deliver. it feels loo to me like there was never a plan of how he would

change the world. >> you touch on something there. one thing i think isn't at the level certainly it was at, bob, when he took office, is the inspiration quotient. mary katharine is saying he promised home and change. i am not sure we brought the reagan version of this of morning in america. which is what he said he would do. >> expectations were so high coming off the election. >> he set them. >> that is right. you said he was prbrought in to change the world but no american president can change the world. the president suffered from his own lack of communication which was supposed to be his great

skill. he did hit the number they said they would hit and maybe more. >> with 20% un-payment. >> you have to come up with something specific because he wouldn't change the world. no body changes the world. >> they set a goal of 7 million, bumled and maybe 5 million lost their insurance and they are going to resign-up on a site that didn't work. >> things are a lot better, haven't they? >> enrolling counts when you put something in your cart. like in amazon, i own a $5 million diamond because it is in my cart? >> the president is going to come out and he will harold the success of the legislation. but when you see the democrats

running away from this legislation and avoiding meeting with the president or being on the campaign trail because, bob, a lot of very unhappy people with what their true on the grund health care situation is. >> yes, there are. but it would have been a lot of worse five months ago and it will be better five months from now. expectations were set so low by the republicans and they will base their entire campaign on obamacare and they better rethink that and have alternatives. that is their biggest problem. they keep denouncing obamacare and everybody in office insisted we needed a change in the health care and now we have it, they don't like it, but don't have l altua alternatives. >> a lot of people said the

economy was so bad no way he could be reelected but a little improvement put him over the top >> i have not met the democrats that are embracing this to run on. >> nancy pelosi might be the only one. >> look at this image-only long-island bus with a coach bus and a car collided. there are multiple injuries and local reports from the scene suggest there maybe fatalities as well. this is another image right here. local fire department officials removing people. this is east of new york. i mind say about 30-35 miles due

east in roslin heights, new york. that is not the seen you want to see on any day much like today when it is beautiful and the sun is shining and the streets are not wet but a pickup truck and a bus collided. new mexico's governor urging calm after violent protest erupt over the police shooting of a homeless man. how berry plans to settle it down. >> he is here coming up. and the sound of silence deafening when it a local news anchor comments to kathleen sebelius.

at 4:15 later today you h had -- you will see the president -- talking about obamacare. howard kurtz is here. nice to see you. what does he say? seven million. we reached the goal. throw a party. >> he is going to declare victory and having come out earlier in the process to talk about how badly the website was botched the president wants to make himself feel good and he wants to be part of the evening news. >> you can say seven million. but how many didn't have insurance before? >> we don't know the answer to that or who have paid. but i think we have to say if we had known six months ago with the problems that the white house reached something close to seven million we would say they

made progress. the more complicated thing now is does this work? will people pay higher premiums? and what about lowering the cost of health care. >> important story on the news. gm recalling more calls and a big hearing on the hill today. cbs led with that and nbc led with the un on climate change. this was on march 31st, the deadline for the health care exchanges.

>> kathleen sebelius, she did a round-robin with a bunch of local station and one of was oklahoma city and this is what happened at the end. >> 64% of americans are not buying into the plan and don't like obamacare. they have been vocal about it. that is going to be a tough sale but we will see how it plays out over the last coming months. thank you, secretary sebelius, for being with us. i think we lost sound >> i can hear you but thanks. >> it is possible she was waiting for that to be in the form of a question? it is possible the audio went out? >> you never, as an experienced governor, want to create a you tube moment like that. it was like she had no answer to a pretty predictable question.

even if he doesn't jump in, you fill the space and talk about how you overcome the obsticals. >> that anchor could have been famous but he was off camera. >> 4:15 the president comes out we will see what he has to say. thousands of illegal immigrants with criminal convictions caught and released instead of being deported. a lot of reaction to this. >> and major solar flair hit over over the weekend. did you feel it? the impact on earth and beyond. solar flare

>> we want to take you back to capital hill where a huge hearing is getting underway where we will here from the gm ceo mary barra about the issues and why didn't gm do something about fixing it sooner. let's listen to sound from the family members. >> they are playing a game with my safety and my friends. i cannot begin to explain the fear and confusion that runs through you the moment you have no control over your car.

i cannot understand the loss the families are going through. my hope is that the horror stops now. the federal government failed to talk action and drivers like me were kept in the dark. i mind like to close this by quoting my mother's letter saying this is a safety issue recall and i should not have to list to you the safety problems that might happen such as accidents and death. i believe this car needs to be examineed, revised and corrected. >> gm has recalled nearly 3 million cars for that faulty switch prompting the company to name a new safety chief and recall their recall processes and they will be testifying, the ceo mary barra, on the hill this afternoon. watch for that.

now this new report that is being called a quote large scale abuse of authority by the administration. 68,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records have been released. immigration and customs said the numbers don't tell the whole story. but critics acocuse the white house of fuzzy numbers. >> in the past if you were caught at the border you were returned and that didn't count in the numbers. but they started counting those events and counting that as deportation making the numbers look better than they are. >> senator session here and lou d dobbs is here. you have been on this story for a number of years. what do you think of this?

what do we need to understand? >> the obama administration is cooking the book and have been caught since jay johnson, home of headland security, admitted to congress and brought with him the numbers to show the number keeping was lousy and they were using it for their own political agenda. there are restriction advocating groups and you have to take their numbers with a grain of salt. don't take the numbers from the administration or the restrictionist because their numbers are just as likey to be cooked in their favor. >> were these hard core crimes? >> some running up to rape and murder and far down as taking

off. >> rape and murder is as ha hard-core as you can get. >> the department of homeland security says between 2009-2012 obama as deported 1.5 million out of america. >> senator session is working hard and his committees have been the best sources of real data. that is bunk. it is ridiculous. they are using prosecution here and shutdown the enforcement of the immigration law on the interior in the workforce and at the border. and people talk about 11 million immigrants in the countries that is another bogus number. >> what do you think it is? >> 15-20 million. sterns did a study six years ago and they estimated it at 20

million. and did so with, i think, very rigorous analysis and math. so i think somewhere around there. >> back on this story, the advocates for immigration say this is misleading and the numbers are skewed and distorted. >> we agree so far. they are skewed. and people have to understand this is utter non-sense and the argument that is going on is utter non-sense. there is one question that needs to be answered and that is what is in the interest of the nation, not other countries or those that have broken the law, but what are our values and needs as an economy and why are we so excited about bringing more more low-skilled uneducated workers where we have 20 million

people who are long-term unemployed or disengaged from the workforce all together. >> see you tonight. >> got a deal! >> fox business. check them out in the flesh. >> doesn't get better than that. really compelling story as we are getting more from namlies that were effected by the defective ignition switches. you will hear the story woman who lost ther daughter >> and the mayor of new mexico on what went wrong when the demonstrators crashed with the police on their street.

kialbuquerque kiralbuquerque ss martin

>> back to this, what has turned into an impromtu state on the hill ahead of the gm testimony. we played reaction from the f

family members. this is laura christian during the break who lost her daughter. >> at first it was one, then a few, we are many now. there are still more. we are the people left behind wheth when a loved one got into a car that was supposed to be save but gm new it was defectives. our daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives are gone because they were a cost of doing business gm style. corporate executives made a decision that fighting the problem was easier than fixing the problem. my mission is two-fold. first to make sure everyone driving one of the cars is aware

of the defect. a lot have been sold so a recall notice will not be sent to them. when i went to the website of the highway safety transportation i was distraught to see the small message about the recall that was replaced by another after about seven seconds. they must be more direct with the public they serve. people with these vehicles should get their cars off the road until the ignition has been repaired to protect themselves and everyone on the road with them. the second part is to change the ways car manufactures do business.

they can not be permitted to continue doing this. give auto monopomakers this isn warning and will not be tolerated. they need more resources to get their job done. i urge congress to take immediate action to provide additional funding for them and to make the agency more tra transparent and imformtv. help us protect your children. >> her daughter amber was a teenager who she died. we will have that hearing later on fox. new mexico's governor is

urging calmness after a protest erupting after the police shot a homeless mentally ill man. this isn't a scene you see on the streets of too many american cities. this is unusual. people were throwing stones and that prompted the tear gas. i am joined by albuquerque's mayor richard berry. >> good morning >> what prompted this situation on the streets of your city? >> we had a protest where we had several hundreds protesters who were engaging in a peaceful protest. that is a normal part of the process and something we want to facilitate. we had a small group of the protesters who took it upon themselves to continue the protest and at some point during

that time they started engaging in illegal activity. we had people blocking roadways and enterance to a hospital, laying down on the interstate system. >> you cannot abide that. i understand >> so at some point -- >> i want to go back to the original incident which was the shooting. there have been 22 shootings by police officers. this video prompted the protesters. you can see the police officer and the man above where the dog is running to. that is james boyd right there. >> get on the ground! >> the police then open fire after shooting bean bags and pellet at him. they shot live fire rounds and he was killed on the mountain and that has prompted outrage especially on top of the other 21 killings that have happened

of civilians in your city. >> very serious situation. we have six multi agencies looking at that. we have an fbi criminal investigation on that and the district attorney and a multi jurisdictional task force. what is important is we to get answers on what happened and why. we had a spike in officer-involved shooting in 2010 and just finished our third year with at or below shootings. the police have a difficult job but we want to ensure the safety of the public. >> are the officers in that video on active duty? >> they are on administration leave per our collective bargaining agreements.

>> you have a lot on your hands and i wish you good luck there. >> couple minutes away, hap "happening now" rolls your way. jenna lee is here. >> the white house is telling reporters it passed the seven million sign-up numbers. and the new potential of the iranian ambassador for the un. and a new study saying using a beer mareinade when you grill out is good for your help. >> i thought this was aprils fool. >> 19 days left in lent. keep that in mind. >> no one is counting.

a major burst in the sun caught on video and the impacts on earth may not be over. >> this is the big one. >> corey is in the house.

♪ and your okay. ♪ >> here is something for facebook ceo mike to like. he brought in 3.3 billion dollars last year. the numbers were revealed in g

reglortory documents. facebook only paid him a $1 last year. hope he gets a raise. >> i think he is all right. a major solar flare hit two days ago and caused a radio blackout for a few minutes. corey powell editor of discover magazine said this is his biggest concern. we have known each other three years and you say this concerns you. >> we are at the mercy of the sun in ways we are getting a handle on still. so these flares, you see the sequence there, that is a small taste of what the sun is capable

of. >> what happens if we were hit a major flare which hasn't happened in 70 years. what happened happen? >> radio blackout. there is a storm coming our way and it might cause your power to go in and out. but there are much big storms if you scale it up. this is like a category one lur contain. with a full-on storm, you could knock out our communication satellites, it could overload power lines and burn out transformers. it could cause a global blackout for a year. the national academy of science is concerned. >> these are images from nasa. it hit at 1:48 eastern time. what are we watching? >> these are ultraviolet rays

here. the sun is blotted out so you can see the atmosphere of the sun blowing out. this is called an ejection and that is the atmosphere of the sun blowing out into space. the bright flashes are x-rays coming from the sun. this is magnetic turbulence on the sun. it goes out into the space and space isn't empty. space connects us to the sun. so things travel out and hit us there. >> and like the heat intensity of the flare. >> you are seeing hot plasma, million degree gas bubbling off from the sun. it is the radiation that has the impact. >> can you predict this? >> just like you can watch the

weather channel. you can now watch the space weather channel. there is a fleet of space craft that looks at the sun and monitor these things. so they can give you a little advance >> the radio systems were knocked out for a period of time. how serious is that? whose radio? >> this one is little. but think about your gps or radio communication or airplanes loosing their guideiance signals. if you had a blackout, hospitals without emergency power. as you get bigger and bigger, the threats get bigger. they don't happen a lot but you need to be prepared >> talk to you next time >> maybe about happier things. if the solar flare doesn't

get you after the obamacare rollout, there are dozens of delays and fixings we have been documents. and last-minute website crash. the administration says they are on track, though, to meet the sign-up goal. could the cause political problems still? good question. panel coming up on that.
