>> and he can't throw that. and you have to watch out for his arms. that is good and protected. and thank you for joining us today. and have a great day, everybody. watch out and america's news headquarters starts right now. fox news alert. safety of vehicles parked in drive ways in america. a hearing and general motor's ceo on the hot seat. why did it take so long to inform people with the flaw in the ignition switch. family members of the crash victims talking steps where it is in place. >> we are the people left behind when a loved one got a supposed safe car, a gm car. they anyhow it was dangerous and defective. our daughters and sons and sisters and brothers and mothers

and fathers and wives and husbands, are gone because they were a cost of doing business gm style. >> please help us for standing up for what is right. gm knew it was wrong and they are liable for the deaths. >> moments from now we'll talk to the vice chairman on the house committee about why information was kept from the public. another knocks news alert now. president obama making remarks about obama care. a critical dead line has come and gone and questions remain. i am bill hemmer and good tao at home. >>im elizabeth prann. the white house on track to hit or top the target of 7 million enrollees. how many have paid and have coveraging as we hear from kathleen sebelius. >> what we know from insurance companies, tell us for the

initial customers it is 85 or 90 percent have paid so far. a lot of companies have different time tables from when their now customers have to send their first payment. >> and so a special report leads our coverage from washington. >> and republicans are knock on doors for a long time trying to get these numbers and this information. if it is thorough that 90 percent have paid already or made an initial first payment that would be good news for the white house. >> great news for the white house. and the white house will tout these numbers and we'll hear from the president and they will say they are on track and may have achieved sen million. but you are right, a lot of numbers, there are questions about them. dave kemp chairman of the house ways and means committee sent a letter to kathleen sebelius,

calling her testimony evasive and misleading when she was asked that question yesterday, how many people paid the first payment or first premium. she said the government didn't have those numbers because they only healthcare.gov website. she referenced the insurance company that was the affiliate not under oath. if that is true 80 or 90 percent paid that is a good number for the administration. >> we did not see the president yesterday. perhaps they were waiting to dlifrt major head line today. it will be their own tract to sen million. that's what the congressional budget office projected they needed to have to make it all work. but the other equation is what the brake down is on the

demographics and even if you give them and concede 7 million figure or close to it. six and half or depending on how many people paid the premium. how many of those are young healthy people? the percentage was 25 percent. and cbo estivated 37 percent to avoid seeing major premium increases when insurance companies retooled all of that. >> and you talked to a lot of people in washington. is it thought they have this information and not come forward with it or not? >> it is so interesting, bill. you get different answers. kathleen sebelius didn't answer it on the hill but asked by a local affiliate and seemed to have all of the numbers. and so it is very interesting who you ask. you talk about the young and we'll so what that percentage is

in the end. what is the best guess. and 20 or 30 percent of the people signed up had insurance before or kicked off their plans and you don't know what the numbers really are until the administration breaks them down with the insurance companies helping. you have a lot of people who lost their plans and we don't know what that whole figure is. but imagine that figure put in this figure. you don't know what the uninsured will be. >> if you are tone a million and 1.foif million and we were talking 40 million americans did not have insurance and that's what the law was designed to do. >> and at the end of this, you

will have at lost 40 million people uninsured. that number is going down if you throw in medicaid and expanded kids on parent's plans until tweks. and a number of other things. but 40 million people are without insurance. on special report, tonight. thank you, brett, talk to you real soon. >> developing now in benghazi, the cia's top officer on the ground in lib raat the time of the benghazi terror attacks will appear on capitol hill for the first time. less than 24 hours before michael morel will be on the hot society over his role crafting the discredited talking points. no demonstrations took place on

september 11th, 2012. and with that conversation taking place. and susan rice went on the sunday talk she saying the protest led to the deadly attacks. we'll bring in ralph peters. how are you today? >> i am fine, elizabeth. >> this is not the first time mr. morel has been on the hill. and in a perfect world, what do you expect to learn from him tomorrow? >> in a perfect world we tell the truth. i have to shout out for cathrein on fox. she's been ahead of this story all along. and everything she came up with, it has proven thorough. mike morel, we'll see what comes out. it looks like and smells like he cooked the books for political reasons. we'll so what the ultimate judgment is. that concerns me as a former

inteleigence professional. one thing you don't want to do to this country, is turn intelligence in politics and polit sideways. it the president has to hear the truth and by the way, except when there is an urgent need to dope the secret. the president has to tell the truth to the american people. it locks like intelligence was politicalizeda on the highest levels of the cia and they lied to the american people knowingly. >> why is it a conflict of interest? on one hand they are supposed to provide information to the white house. are they not supposed to have a roll in the political roll out, afterwards, is that what you are saying? no, they should never play politics and obviously they have to meet the president's intelligence requirements and he

asks the questions and handle it. >> but the point is to give him authority. tell him what you believe is happening before youries. and the white house made sure to sing that. we'll see what comes out. and they sidelined the cia director david petraeus that was under investigation. and michael morel took the helm and it appears that this guy was crucial to the white house twisting everything. elizabeth. the key point for me here. is that the cia station chief. that is the top intelligence dog in libya said it was not about a demonstration and the spin from the administration and mike morel and others. we had to weigh conflicting

reports and claims. no. the cia station chief on the ground is the guy who knows. he knows better than the people back in washington eating popcorn and watching a miniseries. it is a real danger here. we made a big thing about the nsa political scandal. and this was clearly to me, a politicalization of skewing intelligence to promote the president's reelection campaign and that is a big, bad dangerous no, no. >> and we don't have a lot of time. you expanded and brought up poet petraeus. said to say. they have got to call petraeus and put him under oath and do the right thing with his country and tell the entire truth.

the key is, you can't respect rank or service when it comes to testimony. you put him under oath and if they lie. you get them for purgery. that is the only way to get to the bottom of this stuff. we appreciate it. >> there is a big hearing tomorrow on. that and we'll watch for all of that and so what we learn when morel testifies. and they dump their 125 million obama care website that is not working and whether or not they will start all over again from scratch. we'll have that for you and also this. moments matter here. daring moments of a sailor washed over board in the high sooe sew seas. >> and why did it take gm so long in coming clean in the

investigation of cars. the families of the victims now tell their story publicly. >> there is changes in the law to prevent other families from experiencing this trag doechlt it is clear that gm is only concerned with the bottom line and not safety of our loved ones. rrn @e@8ñúñ÷@@@0@ú

the national highway safety transportation administration had 20010 to investigate the issue. both times they said they would not do. that i appreciate the fact that people want additional laws to prevent this from the future. if you have the national highway traffic safety and not pursue existing leads, it is hard for me to see how it would make a as well. >> you mentioned there were indicators and was there any federal action. and dozens of incidents and nothing on the federal level took place. >> correct, if you will recall

in 2010, 5 years ago, this, this agency was active in calling another automobile maker into account when they demanded acceleration. they have shown us in the past they have real aggression and where were they so to speak on the cobalt issue? >> and in your opinion looking at anything incriminating here? they are cupable and what type of a punishment can they face. >> there is questions of whether or not if people are truthful and that's part of the process and i am not going to foreclose or presume anything on those lines. and 250,000 pages of documents, there is a lot of stuff to go through. and american taxpayers bailed out gm. are you shocked they didn't come

forward with that sooner? >> i am not sure i want to speculate there. and the government did unload a significant number of gm stocks last fall. the timing of the issue. we are where we are and we owe it to the american people to resolve the safety issue and we owe it to the family. 13 people lost their lives when this investigation was stalled. we need to get it to the bottom of that as well. >> will the families be compensated? do they need to compensate them? there is a variety of avenues available in the civil courts and many of those are heard in process. and whether they will be enhanced and today is anyone's guess. and i think you do see from general motors the commitment to make it as right as you can. you can never make things completely right. and i will give the chief

executive officer of gm credit. it hasn't been hard to get her to come before the committee. i can't stay that with the other aspects but they are cooperating at least since the massive recall was announced. >> and the hearing will start soon. in an hour. and tough for the families, and listen to them and their stories, today. six months after the launch of healthcare.gov worth. it strong words from charles krauthammer. and a suspected craig's list killer in court. what her sister is saying now. watch this. those sailors in a race against time after one of their own went overboard deep in the ocean.

the north cumberland courthouse and wearing shackles on the hands and feet and meek and silent. and no cameras were allowed. and there were no questions about miranda's jail house interviews. she is charged with her 22-year-old husband of the stabbing and strangulation of a man. after she was caught miranda said she had killed 22 others in a crime spree when she was a 13-year-old run away in alaska. and despite the lack of evidence they have no choice but investigate. >> i am not saying we believe or don't believe her but we would do a disservice to our badge and our duty if we do not follow through and do not do our due diligence. >> and some believe that the case will make it to trial and

amanda will strike a deal to avoid the death penalty and clear up if there are 22 other murders in her past. is her sister credible? >> reporter: well, as far as we know she is. the question is more about miranda's credibility and her sister said miranda was a fan of dexter of a serial killer and that's where the sister believes she got information about the murders. in many cases there are no upsolved homicide where she claimed she killed people. >> rick, thank you. live in pennsylvania on that case. >> secretary of state john kerry in a two-day nato meeting in europe. what will nato do to keep moscow

and confident that is aligned with mark omally and delivering successful obama care. and he came to largo, maryland before the open enrollment and vowed that the transition would go smoother in maryland where the governor was working to implement it and not fight. it it didn't work out that way the plagued by computer problems their exchange had one of the worst enrollments of the 17 states of the exchanges. and creating only 90 percent in the private plans. connecticut is said to have boasted one of the best in the country. the national average was a middling 15 percent. and the maryland health care exchange board is expected to skraep and a taxpayer cost of 125 million. and spent time replacing it with

connecticut's model. >> they have three years to get it right. and they have seven months before they have to go down again. they are making the decision this early and in a sense of things. it is not a lot of time to get a new exchange set up. congressman harris said at his request. the office of the inspector general at the federal level of the department of health and human services and examining what went wrong with the marry lapd health care exchange. >> thanks for joining us. >> you bet. the whole idea with insuring the uninsured. that will love 40 million uninsured and we had to cancel 6 million policies and millions of people lost their doctors and their hospitals? and for that, people in northern new hampshire have to drive past two best hospitals in the sought to the state because the two

hospitals are not covered. the price of this overturning and rev lougzizing acts the economy and medical care and is staggering. is that the way it should have been done? >> charles krauthammer wondering if it is worth the price. tyler is a republican poll ter. and marjorie a consultant for bill clinton. tyler, what did you think of the point he was making there? >> i think the word failure doesn't begin to describe what we are looking at. it could be decades before we recognize the damage that this has done. and i think frankly, what was going to be a land mark bill by president obama could rank him

as one of the worst presidents in our country in the history facebo books. apparently nancy pelosi is at the white house and said they made their mark and 7 million. does that change things for you. >> it is a mark that is more like a scar. what ended up happening, if they achieved the 7 million. it is barely above the number of folks who lost their policy and access to their doctors and the complete damage to the health care unit and industry at large. nfrankly it is bad. >> you made your point and for that, marjorie and for what krauthammer asks you. >> what we are forgetting, what we have is bipartisan support for critical elements of the bill. as an entrepreneur and business owner this matters to me.

preexisting condition clause, that will not prohibit me from getting insurance and the other a cap and the other was the cost of health care and catastrophic event. >> and you would have gotten republicans to agree with those measures, too. >> actually not. you have done all of this and uprooted the entire system and you still have 40 million americans who do not have insurance? >> well, the question is, and it is a legitimate one. it is the ones that seen up on the exchange. we do know that this bill has changed the way all americans think about the way they think about republicans and democrats insurance. should they have the ability to do the health care?

>> no matter what the president said today tiler. nancy pelosi is talking the way she s. that will decide, if you do not. after all of this, if all 7 million people signed up and they were previously uninsured and leaving 23 million americans. is that not what the law was all about? that was krauthammer's big point. go. >> absolutely, what marjorie said hasn't changed the way americans view insurance. that everyone should have access to affordable health care. the truth is. experts in the health care industry said the increase to the existing policies that are out there and not cancelled by obama care they are much higher than it would have been combachlt i don't disagree. there are parts of obama care

that needs to be part of insurance reform. and do something like what representative langford said. >> this piece of legislation was drafted by republicans. and it was remarkable and a flawed bill. and the question what are the outcomes going to be long- term? >> you disagree that tyler said we will pay for this years to come. >> tiler doesn't know unless he has a crystal ball. >> reach in your pocket and can you pull out the crystal ball? >> i wave the magic ball, will it happen? ask me later. >> we shall. later today, and for that we say and for what? appreciate the time. >> i would like a crystal ball.

confused as the same human being. >> you are on the same floor. and you sandwich me. the president of hobby lobby. met at with the pope at the vettican. and there were mixed messages whether social issues were discussed. we'll bring you inside of the latest papal meeting. and the uso opens the now warrior center we'll meet the u.s. marine who walked across the country for fallen comraids. >> what was that sandwich. >> yours is three down and o'rielly is five down. >> i thought it was balonnie. >> balogna. >> and bye, gretchen. >> according to the country filings. mark zuckerberg took only a sal

row of one there. last year he made 3.throe billion by exercising stock option. he is the second richest person in the world and known for philan trophy. >> and a new report showing that the obama administration last year allowed 68,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records to go free. judge napolitano is here on this. going free was what? deported? >> they are here. they were not deported. bill, they committed felony and convicted and scheduled for deportation and the president freed them from immigration jails and they are with us in society. not all of them are dangerous, but they are all scheduled to be deported and under the law should have been and the president exercised his

prosecutorial authority. he wanted to use the money on other things than deporting people. but look, the president is determined on his own, bill to change immigration laws in this country. last year he told the 11 million immigrants what they should do to stay here even though they are susceptible. and he was hired and elected to do. the president of the united states told them what they could do to avoid obeying the law. >> these are felons, right? they are hard-core, criminals. they are felons and not all fell

nos are hard-core criminals and some could be for personal possession. >> that's important clariction. he is doing this to change the immigration laws in america, right? i am also saying that congress could stop him from doing this. but congress never so manies to interfere when this president pushes the envelope to the outer most limits of executive authority. and in this area of immigration. he pushed so far, i would argue, bill. he is doing contrary to what the law said he's supposed to do. >> and the other side, meaning immigration advocates that support what is happening. they say the reports are misleading and we are taking people down the wrong road. are we? i am not sure the source of the numbers and i think they are justice department sources and you say 69,000 people were set

free. some of them in deportation centers and released and some are dangerous and most are not. if the president is going to follow the law and obey the law and enforce the law, he ought to do that instead of changing the law so radically. >> here is orth. department of homeland security. tweep 2009 and 12, there were 1.5 million deportation. and they argue they are counting them in a different way. if you stop in the boarder and take them back to mexico, that is considered a u-turn. they are counting those as deportations. >> and mark twain said there are lies and damn lies and statistics. the government can do what it wants and describe that turn. but the president has deported

and has instructed the justice department to do so. but more than any president since the reagan amnesty. he has people say here. >> congress could stop them if they wanted. >> yes. >> they could rewrite the laws that strip him with his discretion. this congress doesn't do anything when the president pushes the envelope. they just look the other way. >> thank you. >> huge section on the country on alert for tornados and that alert could last for days. >> first of april. this is that accept, right. >> 911 call an operator imagined she would never receive. and her reaction when she saw

that the person she needed help was someone she knew way. stay on the line and tell you what to do next.

for strong tornadoes as well as damaging winds and hail. again, thursday into friday. look at all these big cities affected. if you live in these regions you know we're getting into the season. one of the main ingredients, warm, unstable air. we've got it in the south. 90s over southern texas, memphis, cold air behind it will produce snow. the good news it's been fairly quiet. the average from january to march, 178 tornadoes. we only had about 57. a tornado drought here but next several days we could see an uptick in the numbers. back to you, elizabeth. >> thanks, janice. >> you got it. >> a 911 operator gets an emergency call about her own father on the first day of the job. she took about 40 calls that day and heard a familiar voice. it was her aunt on the line saying her dad went diabetic
