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 he hyperextended his leg and then broke his leg. he will have surgery later today to repair his right femur. to add insult to injury, yeah, the mariners beat the angels 10-3. senator marco rubio talks about a party flip-flop. >> [inaudible] he used to be independent as you well know for a brief period of time and now of course is a democrat. i announce the nextç time i run [inaudible] >> the keynote address is at a republican dinner in florida. those are your headlines. see you back here in a little bit. >> heather's not coming back to work. >> coming on this tuesday, stranded on the high seas. a sailor goes overboard, rescued hours later and more than 2,000 miles away. how did he survive in that?
