it truly is my savior in the morning. i like that. and richard says i see babe ruth on my toast. thanks for writing, everyone. i'm gretchen carlson and shepard smith reporting live. hi, shep. >> thanks, gretchen. where they're believed to be holding hundreds of girls in nigeria, a forest so dense security is frad to enter. and a security force to bring back the girls. they say the terrorists who took them have carried out a massacre. we've got a preview but the full monica lewinsky is out today to what she says about being recognize oddtown street and what it's like for her to go out on dates. plus why acting like a psychopath could actually help you at work and in your love life. it's an all psychopathic hour.

we'll tell you what that's all about and why it's not so insane and why it just might work. let's get to it. and good thursday afternoon to you and yours. terrorist s threatening to sell girls again prove how blood-thirsty they really are. we have learn bd a new brutal attack in nigeria this which they report lid kill 100 people and possibly more, set their homes on fire and shot them when they ran from the flames. this word comes as the united states sends a team to nigeria to find the nearly 300 girls who were kidnapped from a school. it's a case that's now getting wild attention. first lady michelle obama tweeted this picture to raise awareness with th the #bringbackourgirls. to do that the rescuers will have to find them first, something to be an enormous challenge. they're holding the girls in a remote forest, one notorious for

giving cover to terrorists so much so the local papers call it the evil forest and niger krahn troops refuse to enter it. we'll show you where it is. it looks like willing almost nothing and that's the point. this is the forest reserve. this whole forest is about the size of the state of virginia. it's full of thorny brush six feet high in some places and filled with dangerous wildlife. local reports say two died from snake bites and 20 are reportedly sick. even if they find these girls there's no guarantee they can get them out safely. the terrorist group known as boco haram has reportedly beheaded leaders in the past and he's a proud killer. says, quote, i enjoy killing anybody god commands me to kill like i enjoy killing chickens and rams. what's the status of u.s.

assistance over there, wendell? >> well, shep, secretary of state kerry says the team is hitting the ground now, about 20 people from the state department, the fbi skilled in hostage negotiation and diplomacy. th there's no mention of a team going in. it was suggested no effort short of an assault will be spared to get them back. >> we are also going do everything possible to counter the menace of boco haram. the entire would should not only be condemning this outrage but should be doing everything possible to help nigeria in the days ahead. >> kerry said the kidnappings will focus world attention on the dangers posed by boco haram. shepa shepard? >> there is some sort of a dustup or some are asking about hillary clinton not willing to designate boco haram a terrorist group. what's that about? >> a number of lawmakers pushed

for the designation when she was secretary of state, but it wasn't made until john kerry took over as secretary. pretty goodluck jonathan who met with the president at the white house in 2011 is said to have opposed the terrorist nation and two months later they bombing them. about two dozen people were killed. last night mrs. clinton criticized jonathan's government for not doing enough to protect itself people. >> the nigerian government has failed to confront the threat or to address the underlying challenges of poverty, lawlessness and despair in marginalized northern niger jan areas. all of this demands a strong response from the people and government of nigeria. >> mrs. clinton's critics say the delay in declaring boco haram a terrorist group kept the u.s. from fully addressing the threat it posed, although goodluck jonathan's rights

record would have kept him from getting military aid. >> let's continue. we're bringing in tim furnish. he has a doctorate in middle eastern, african, and world history. sir, nice to see you. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> not a worldwide problem but it's a worldwide talk now. dwlou begin doing something about this group? >> well, shepard, i think the first thing that has to be done is the context in which it arises. boco haram is quite violent but it's not new in terms of ideology. there have been similar ones going back 200 years and in this way they're trying to recapture the glory of what they see is the previous rulers of nigeria. >> and the basic basis of their anger is over the fact that these girls are getting some sort of western education. >> that's the ostensible reason, yes. going back to when the british took over the area, there has

been a conflict over the northern half of nigeria which is predominantly muslim, the southern half which is predominantly christian, and many parts of the northern part of nigeria, many of the inhabitants there have always been opposed to what they see as secularized westernized godless education. that's certainly a key element of what's been going on here. >> religion versus religion since time began. it's astounding. i wonder if you have a thought on what's the best way to penetrate this. they're trying to figure out,000 rescue these girls. history tells us that's going to be mighty hard. >> it is going to be difficult, especially as you pointed out earlier they're in a very remote part of northern nigeria that they know better than anyone else. i think one thing that might be useful if the united states tried to bring in other islamic countries that have quite adept counterterrorism, counterintelligence networks, for instance, like egypt or a country like that. i think that might be a

plausible alternative to u.s. troops on the ground there. >> yeah. nobody's talking about sending in troops, but i wonder if there -- if you have a sense for how it is that you might get to these girls though because that's what the whole world wants now is go in and get them. from the looks of the forest which is the size of the state of west virginia, it's going to be as hard as finding that plane. >> maybe harder. there's no black box there unfortunately. yeah, as you point out, shep, i think it's not going to be just hard. it's going to be impossible. i think if this group and their hostages, with their hostages don't want to be found, i don't think they will be found. so i'm not quite sure what u.s. forces will do to help with that. >> i'm frankly not either. so good to see you. ing their you very much for coming. tim furnish liven with us. >> you're welcome. monica lewinsky said she's had a tough time dating since the scandal that led to president clinton's impeachment. but in a recent article she

monica lewinsky now says it

may surprise you to learn she's actually a nice person. her art cal called "shame and survival" is out today. she writing about her then affair with president clinton, an affair she calls consensual. she said her life has been far from easy ever since. monica lewinsky writing every day i'm recognize. every day. sometimes a person will walk past me again and again as if i wouldn't notice. lewinsky writes even though she was a foolish 24-year-old at the time, she put it, she never thought it would turn out the way it did. she says, i look back now, shake my head in disbelief and go what were we thinking? i'd give anything to go back and rewind the tape. do we have a sense? >> she said it's time. at 40 it's time to stop

tiptowing around her past and other people's futures clearly referring to the clintons here. she said that in hillary clinton's 2008 presidential campaign she remained reclusive and she's fearful if clinton makes another run. still lewinsky claims the timing of her article is not about her versus the clintons saying, quote, their lives have moved on. they occupied important global stations on the stage. i wish them no ill. and i wish that people would understand that what happened to me does not matter to either of them. she ice saying clinton not only blamed her but blamed him for the affair. >> it's been an impressive run for monica lewinsky. she goes overseas, gets a very impressive ed karks and yet the normal things of life like getting jobs and finding love

are difficult because of all that. >> that's right. she said this if did not let this define her but she was so young when it happened she didn't have an identity to fall back on. she said she was disappointed that even people from the feminist movement weren't there to back her up. she said, i wish there were some sign of support from the anymore nift camp. lewinsky says in the time since the scandal it's not kept her from dating, though. she said, quote,er man that has been special to me over the 16 years has helped me find another piece of myself. she does have to be careful with men and she says she's become pretty adept at figuring out when somebody is interested in her for the wrong reasons. >> i bet she has. jon hamm on the cover. good stuck. thank you. syrian rebels say they leveled a once luxurious hotel in a deadly attack on government forces.

the video out of aleppo happened today in that northern city that has seen some of the fiercest fighting throughout the war. they say the blast felt like an earthquake. the rebels say they killed 50 soldiers in the attack and the government forces were using that hotel as a military base. other video shows what's left of that building now and there's not much. they report lid blew up the hotel by packing explosives in tunnels beneath it. activists say more than 150,000 people have died since this war began more than three years ago. investigators are now saying someone intentionally set fire, a deadly fire at a former tennis star's mansion in florida. the star is james blake. he wasn't there, but we've gotten 911 calls out. and what investigators say they found on the victims' heads, a very strange story which took a weird turn today. stay with us. that died at a man

belonged to a former tennis star had fireworks strapped to their heads. now, blake wasn't there at the time. he rented the place out. witnesses called 911 when they spotted the flames. one woman got pretty emotional as she asked for some help. listen. >> the fire's in the house. i was walking my dog and as i walked by, the house exploded, and i ran home to call people. oh, my god. >> calm down, okay? calm down? is it a man and a woman. >> >> a husband and wife and two kids. >> calm down, okay? >> that's out of tampa.

the police found the bodies of two adults and two teenagers inside that mansion with gunshot wounds and what they call heavy-duty fireworks wrapped around their heads. investigators say they now believe somebody intentionally set the fire and that it could have been part of what they believe was some sort of murder/suicide. as for james blake, the former tennis star, the agent said blake was at his home in connecticut yesterday. the former tennis pro was renting the florida home to family of four. they're believed to be the victims. police say they will not know the identities until autopsy results come back. noted here, executive of a fireworks company said the father of the family bought more than a dozen times from the store just a few days ago. in case you did not know, james blake was once ranked fourth in the world in tennis and bill joins us. nice to see you. >> good to see you again, shep. >> they all had gunshot wounds

but we don't know if they had fireworks on their heads. we don't know if one murdered the rest or what happened here. >> this is absolutely bizarre, to think what might have happened here. it sounds to me like the fireworks could have been the initiator for the blaze, but it sounds to me like there was an accelerant in the house that caused the total devastation and the rapid flames that occurred there. what happened, i guess, probably the coroner is going to have to figure that out and maybe a little bit of investigative work by the police department there to find out where exactly all these things started. it's just bizarre. >> they're saying they think it's a murder/suicide. but who commits suicide by setting yourself on fire. >> it's so unusual but it very well could be that whoever the initiate over the murders were, whether it was one of the kids or one of the parents, if, in fact, they killed the other three people and then started the fire and then asass nalted

themselves, murdered themselves. it's just -- it has to be worked out by the coroner now to find out when all this happened. it's weird. >> normally when this sort of thing happens, i guess the first thing you do is investigate the victims' past, right, to see if there was anything weird going on, if anyone had anything going out for them. >> you do, shep. he was a secretary at the carrollwood day school of which both of his children attended. i'm sure they'll be looking to see if there were any finances this might have entered into this whole scenario, but they'll look at every single aspect of his life and the children as well to see if there's anything that can possibly explain what happened here in this case. >> as street reporter for more than a decade instead of cooped up in an acore house, my friends used to tell me the toughest thing to investigate is a bunch of rich people because they have a lot of lawyers and that makes it difficult. we're talking about a lot of

rich people here. >> yes, they are. it had to be a sizeable rental fee for that 6,000 square foot, five-bedroom, five-bath home. where that money came from, i have no idea. from what everybody has said, the family was very well respected in the area, but one never knows when the door closes inside that house. >> this fireworks on your head thing, that's brutal. usually when you see torturous activities around someone ending someone else's life, so often it's gang-related or drug-related. it's somebody who's got a vendetta, in many cases been hired to get things done. >> shep, that's the other thing everybody has to consider. was it a murder/suicide or was it caused by somebody from the outside who went undetected in doing this? but, heavens, fireworks strapped to your head, you can't explain it. i don't know of any logical way to explain that kind of a situation. >> there's no logic in any of

this. they described the fire as unusual and they said there were various fireworks throughout the home. two victims suppered from upper body trauma but the authorities wouldn't indicate which ones. also, she said no weapons found at the home but these people had gunshot wounds. so i don't know why they'd suggest it's a murder/suicide and four people have gunshot wounds and there's no weapons around. that makes no sense. >> no sense. this is a garden gate community from what i understand. there's got to be film of cars coming and going so i imagine that they'll unpeel the onion as they go along. this is an absolutely misty fig set of circumstance as we see it right now. >> bill gavin. the next step the coroner will return findings. that might help us a lot. nice to see you. >> thank you. my pleasure, shep. police in alabama say a man killed his wife, three dogs, and a pet parrot over a text message

his wife sent to a friend. the cops say after the murder, the man and his parrot talk to much. here's the suspect. robert penton, huntsville. they found his blowife's bloody shirtless body on the bathroom floor with flowers and an angel next to her. he left a suicide note on the bathroom sink. he now faces murder charges. he also threatened to kill other family members and his boss. defense witnesses say they never knew the suspect to be violent or threatening. the case is now going to grand jury. the case of man who says he killed his wife and his parrot because his parrot and his wife talk too much. russia's president putin claim he was pulling troops from

the ukrainian border. not a lot of people believe him and now 24 hours later the west is still waiting for signs to see if putin did anything like he said he did. nothing yet. now what ukrainian leaders say he's really up to. these coming up. plus, airlines like to promise free flights to frequent flyers for all their miles, right? but how often can you find a seat? maybe at 5:00 a.m. on a tuchls don't think about flying on a holiday. there's a new survey that says not every airline is like that. some of them are great about your miles but some are pathetic. we'll name names and the one giving away free flights. that's coming up.

completely illegal. they say it's part of the scheme to convince the world he doesn't own them. the white house says there's no evidence of him pulling troops away from the border. they call president putin's change of tone a step in the right direction. this on the other hand, not as good. just hours ago president putin oversaw a military drill that russian media report was to simulate a nuclear strike in response to a hypothetical enemy attack. he says his country planned the drill back in november. meantime officials in moscow say ukraine has sent 15,000 troops to positions right near russia's border. so far no response from kiev. mini michael singh is the managing director and used to word for

condoleezza rice and colin powell. is this escalating or more rat a at the at the? >> it looks to me like putin could be trying to disassociaten ukraine so he can say, look, this isn't my doing. it's sort of indigenous. i don't think anyone buys that. i think he could also see the sanctions that president obama threatened could have been coming and he's sort of trying to muddy the waters, trying to interfere what could have been growing the u.s. in an effort now to sort of press his case diplomatically. so i don't think that this change in tone is something that we can take too seriously yet because we haven't seen, as you said, shep, the actions to support it. >> so we stay the course policy-wise for now. >> i think that we do. i think we'll see the u.s. and officials sort of but sue this and see if it's serious. but i think it's very important that the new sanctions remain under development, that nay be imposed if they need to be

imposed and we strengthen the nato actions and basically do everything we were on course to do. >> first there was crimea. then the eastern cities in ukraine and now there's trouble in a western port city. is that a concerned development? >> it's a very concerning development. you're talking about, i think, odessa, shep. >> yep. >> there have been obviously violent clashes there. that's where there was a fire that killed about 30 or 40 people and any time you see this violent sort of moving further and further into ukraine, it is very concerning. odessa is another place that has a sizeable ethnic russian minority and it looks like this. separatism perhaps encouraged by russia is spreading anywhere that there's this kind of russian minority foot hold that putin can use to justify or use as a pretext. >> any time anybody asks about this particular crisis, the question seems to become why

would they want to side with putin. why would they want to side with russia with all of its problems. can you help explain that to people? >> shep, i don't thing that the ukrainians do. nink you look at polls taken in eastern and southern ukraine and in odessa, the people there don't want to become part of russia. these aren't movements that have broad public support. in fact, they represent a small slice of people, even those who may have a russian background or speak russian, they still want to remain part of ukraine and that's something we have to keep front and center. this is not something that appears to draw public support. it does appear to be for moscow or some selfish purpose. >> it's great to see you. >> thank you, shep. going flying any time soon? let's talk airlines and frequent flyer programs. they advertise free flights to those who rake in lots of miles, right? but if you ever tried to score a free flight, it's not easy, at least most of the time.

airlines reserve only a certain number of seats to give wind and some are more stingy than others. now there's a survey out that ranks the top three airlines. the fox business network gerry willis is here. there's always blackout date. it's always the middle seat. you always have to connect through ska next telldy. >> they look to see who's the best. number one, southwest. every time in the survey that southwest was asked for the free flight using frequent flyer miles they said yes 100% of the time. jetblue, 92.9% of the time. united, 71% of the time. then there's alaska and delta and american rounding up the bottom of the list. and, shep, i've got to tell you here, only half of the time do

those two airlines say, yes, we'll redeem those miles. >> delta and who? >> american. bottom of the list, u.s. air. dead last. those are the people least likely. >> maybe the big five should merge into one huge horrible dysfunctional thing. >> i think we're on the way for that, aren't we? we had a big merger earlier this year. >> have you been on a big carrier. >> uh-huh. >> can't say anything because the flight attendant will kick me out the window. >> yeah. you can't argue. >> why is this happening? >> here's what's going on in the background. remember the airlines sell their miles to the bank so the banks can offer them as rewards so they're another even in charge of them anymore. what's more, the accounting of this -- i know it's technical. aisle keep it short. >> i like this. >> they don't get the benefits out of it like they used to so why not do it halfway there. that's their response.

i've got to tell you, southwest, if you're flying -- >> and you set jetblue. >> 92%. >> they ee get you there. >> wherever you're going. they have so many destinations. we're doing a bunch of travels tonight in the show. people coming to this country, which will be a great and then the pacific northwest. you want go there? >> yes. >> cool advice on what to do while you're there, extreme travel. we'll be all over it. >> nice. gerry willis tonight on the gerry willis report. see you then. it seems americans would rather get high than gamble online. we were talking before, gerry. i wonder. gambling and marijuana, if they allowed you to smoke weed in the casino -- >> it would be perfect? >> -- they would make a lot more money, right? look at these numbers. >> they asked a bunch of americans would you rather have pot or gambling legalized if you had to have one and marijuana, a

majority, 52% said they'd rather have pot than gambling. people are down on that. but if you don't have to have one or the other, the numbers hold. people apparently really don't like online gambling. 20% say it should be legal while 63% say it should be no. and look at the number for weed. 53%, yes, nationwide, 54% says it should not be. >> it's the doritos lobby. it has to be. officials say an fbi ajerchlt arrested in pakistan is now out on bail three days after police say he traded to board a commercial plane with a loaded gun clip. police say they arrested him at an airport in pakistan's largest city. a u.s. law enforcement official said the agent was in pakistan as part of an anti-corruption task force and that the man parentally forgot the loaded magazine was in his bag. he didn't have a gun. he just had the magazine. the state department reports it's working with pakistan to try to resolve this issue. and now the most important

soft grass out will. this does not have wheels. they are retractable. which is sort of unusual with helicopters. it has wheels. this one has wheels. once it flies it doesn't have wheels. they are contracting to build at least six of these. potentially more. the helicopter traveled dates back while. eisenhower over will and his administration. first used one in the vocation home in rhode island to a nearby naval base. here they are in the front yard. this guy has white shoes on. over here, more people in relevant copteres you can see president kennedy, john f. kennedy a decade later, leaving his helicopter this is not a too shy moment. you can tell that because they are smiling. they first through when nixon was in office. soon enough the south lawn became of the white house became a landing pad for a whole new fleet. here it is. that's -- an artist's

rendering -- that's the current one. that's the current one, he says from back there. flag flying backwards. that makes sense because it flies like the wind. new choppers for folks in the white house whoever they may be. you know, depend which team you like, you will be happy or sad about it. the world's biggest drill for digging tunnels is stuck. stuck deep beneath the streets of seattle and fixing the machine could cost taxpayers a complete fortune. that's according to contracts. i want to bring you to the wall here and show you this thing. it is enormous. ginormous. it is a machine that's 57 feet in diameter. for scale i want to show you something. look at this guy. that's a full-grown human being. full-grown six-foot tall human being. so had is the thing that's stuck up under broupd in seattle. city officials say the ril broke down in december and once it did, completed just one-tenth of a nearly two-mile tunnel and you

can see the complete section over here in the breen. had is the part they finished right here and this is what is left to do in this tunnel -- this tunnel -- don't jump on me. it is stuck right there. officials say the drill may get moving probably not get moving again until the end of march of next year. the cost of it, $80 million to build and now contractors say fixing it could cost nearly $125 million. i have a thought. costs $08 million to build. how about if you just build a new one. i don't know. huge debate over who should pay for the repairs. dan springer is live for news seattle where the thing is trapped up underneath the feet. what caused this thing to break down? >> well, the tunnel boring machine hit a steel well pipe put there by, you guessed it, the state of washington. it damaged the cutter head and the main bearing so now they are digging a chamber from the surface to just in front of it. they will lift the broken parts

out and replaced them and then reassembled the thing underground repair that's never been tried before. nobody can guarantee lit work and plenty of fear the $3.1 billion price tag will get much higher. >> you should be worried about what's going down now p the state saying we are pot not paying for overruns. the contractors approved -- history of making other people pay. that means it will be the taxpayer. >> they will pay through a gas tax among the high nest the country. >> remember the big dig in boston? the big dig was a load, too, and did not go well. >> how can you forget it? this could end up a west coast version of the big dig in boston which costs taxpayers, if you remember, $14.6 billion. that was almost four times the original price tag. but in that case, practical taxpayers picked up most of the tab. not so in seattle. when the practical portion is less than $800 sxhl so we are headed for a showdown between the contractors and state over

who pays. >> we have written the most robust contract that we can possibly write with the -- best experts from around the country and we have brought a team together on the legal side to make sure that we are protecting the taxpayers at every step of the way. >> the contractor, of course, disagrees and already put in for $190 million in additional pay. >> thanks a lot, dan. we will be right back. great point if it only were true.

>> on this day in 1963 a brit special agent named gyms bond hit the theaters in the united states. it was dr. no based on the popular novel. the film premiered in london a few months earlier. sean connery starred in the super spy with a love for dry martinis, fast cars, and fast everything really. sean connery would play bond in six more films after dr. no.

of course, the face of 007 changed over the past few years. but moviegoer first met bond, james bond, 51 years ago today. here is cavuto. major mess in honor of james bond. going green or just costing green. wow. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. here we go again. a lot more dough for what seems plain old dumb. try $47 million going to a chinese company to build a wind farm off the coast of new jersey. the trouble is that the state doesn't even want it. i could have told thaw wasn't going anywhere. there is the defense department shelling out $115 a gallon for some sort offal i don of algae .
