turns out teenager do not like to get up early. bill: they slept late? martha: hello. where are my pancakes? i love them all. bill: did he make up for it? martha: absolutely. great kids. no pancakes. bye everybody, "happening now" starts right now. jenna: we start off this monday with brand new fallout in the benghazi scandal and a push to get to the bottom of what really happened, before, during and after the deadly terror attack. hope you're off to a great day so far, i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. after the house voted to form a special committee to investigate benghazi, the 2012 terror attack that killed four americans including our ambassador to libya, some democrats are now blasting the decision calling it a political stunt designed to help the gop in the november elections and beyond but congressman trey gowdy, who will chair the panel says he is focused on the facts.

>> what specifically do you want to learn from secretary clinton and how do you answer charges that one of the major goals of this committee is to hurt hillary clinton's chances for 2016? >> chris i have no friend to reward and no foes to punish. we'll go wherever the facts take us. facts are neither republican nor democrat, they are facts and if we overplay our hand or we engage in a process not fair according to the american people, we will be punished as we should be for that. jon: joining us now, bret baier, the anchor of "special report." so we know now, bret, that seven republican members of this committee. what do we know about the democrats intentions here? >> well, jon, i tell you, you listen to representative javier becerra this weekend also on "fox news sunday" and there seems to be growing momentum for democrats to take part in this committee. there is always a couch to that answer though, if it is a fair

exercise and, as we said, the seven republicans who were appointed by speaker boehner, meeping that there would be five slots for democrats. you heard nancy pelosi saying she wanted it to be even. that was not in the cards, since republicans obviously control the house and have the majority. so it is still a open question but it seems just talking to people on capitol hill that democrats will take part in this committee after they get back from this recess. jon: i guess one of the issues is deciding whether or not democrats will be allowed to sign off on subpoenas, meaning, if, if, they will have the power to block subpoenaing certain witnesses. trey gowdy has said, if they can block us from calling witnesses, no point in having them on the panel or at least reduces the utility of having them on the panel. any indication how that gets resolved or who decides? >> i think that is a

negotiationend going about the rules for this committee and how this all gets vetted out because the democrats, there's one side, you know, all this talk about republicans being split for various issues including benghazi the democrats are split on this. some democrats want to be a part of this committee in order to have a say when some of these high-profile people are in front of that committee including possibly former secretary of state hillary clinton and to have a say in that question and to be in the know about what this committee is seeing and doing and where it is going. there's another part that really wants to make a stand and to try to not be on the committee to send a political message that this is a partisan witch-hunt. so, i think that there is still the split but the going bet they're going to take part in this once this recess is over. jon: democrats have said, and they said this for months or even years now, everything has

been investigated. you know, there have been multiple congressional committees already and that everything that happened at benghazi is old news. if that's the case, then why is that email that came out from ben rhodes under judicial watch subpoena, yeah, request for a freedom of information act, why is that such big news? >> right. well, it was supposed to be release ad year ago when it was asked for by congress and the white house really hasn't explained to the extent that anybody is satisfied upon capitol hill why it took so long to come out other than to say that email was not about benghazi which didn't hold water with reporters in the briefing room or up on capitol hill. there are other emails that have not come out as of yet. they're still in the process of asking for them and there's more information is not known. obviously the question about where the president was that

night, that has resurfaced as well. jon: yeah. >> there is an interesting piece by the way by marc thiessen in "the washington post" a specific diary minute by minute kept for every president, called the presidential daily diary, that may be subpoenaed by this select committee. jon: that would be fascinating. we're still really no farther along than we were on friday. we know the seven republicans who will be on that committee. we don't know how many democrats if any will be participating. >> we don't think that the one democrat, that proposal there would be one person that doesn't seem to be gaining traction on the hill. it is either all-in or all-out and leaning towards all-in. jon: bret baier, thanks for helping break it down for us. >> sure. jenna: another big story. breaking news as international outrages gross grows as support for the kidnapped girls in nigeria. brand new video emerging said to be showing some of the girls.

they are on the screen wearing full veils and reciting muslim prayers. the leader of the boko haram terror group offers to release them in prisoner exchange. that is the proposal on the table. conor powell live from jerusalem with more. conor? >> reporter: it isn't clear where or when the video was produce and it does look recent. it appears to show many missing nigerian schoolgirls, about 100 are appearing in this video. in this 17-minute long film the leader of boko haram, abubaka shekau said the girls converted to islam and willing to free them if his brothers in arms are released from nigerian prisons. the girls are seen praying wearing hajabs and clearly are terrified. boko haram has kidnapped women and children before. possibly some of the girls in this video are from other attacks, not just the most recent attack of the fact that boko haram is openly talking about releasing these girls is

considered a good sign but nigerian officials said they will not pay ran some to the militants. it is not a clear if press nor swap is on the table. u.s., british and french troops are on the ground in near gia to help coordinate rescue. u.s. troops will not take part in a ground operation to go after boko haram. goodluck. jonathan accepted help from israeli government. a israeli group is headed to nigeria as we speak. international force to help nigerians growing but for the families and these girls obviously the clock is ticking. jenna: a story we'll watch closely, conor, thank you. jon: take you to south africa and oscar pistorius murder trial now. today on the stand a psychiatrist testifying for the defense who says that the athlete suffers from high anxiety. listen. >> it is my opinion, my lady,

that mr. pistorius has an anxiety disorder. individuals with an anxiety disorder work hard to control the environment and be very prepared in order to alleviate their levels of anxiety. >> paul tilsley heard that and more testimony in the courtroom. he joins us now live by phone with the very latest on this trial. paul? >> reporter: jon, did the defense fall into a trap set by the prosecution today? quite possibly. as you just heard they put a top forensic psychiatrist on the stand, professor merrill foster. she not only said that pistorius has a growing anxiety disorder but agreed with harry the pitbull nel, the prosecutor's suggestion, that someone suffering from anxiety disorder and possessing guns would make a dangerous person, would be a danger to society. nel asked if persons suffering from this disorder have been committed to mental institutions sufficient as the government's

hospital for psychiatric evaluation? the professor agreed that has happened nel gathered up other from what is let's remember defense witness and with pistorius's defense team and his family sitting rigid as some saw what was coming he pounced. suddenly he said, if all what the psychiatrist was saying is the case, then he called for the athlete to be referred to a mental institution and basically for his state of mind, to be evaluated. the defense immediately said they wilt oppose such a motion. pistorius himself called this move, a joke, but tomorrow, nel is likely to mali make the call and the judge will have to decide. pistorius could be put in a mental hospital up to month for tests. analysts say the move by nel isn't necessarily because he wants to prove pistorius is mentally ill. quite the opposite, jon. if he comes back from the hospital with saying there is

nothing wrong for him, nel will have to move to have all the psychiatrist evidence thrown out. jon. jon: wow, every day a dramatic new development in that case it seems. paul tilsley who is in the courtroom for us in south africa, paul, thank you. i want to let you know we'll talk a little more about the pistorius case, his defense and the prospects of this mental evaluation with our legal panel ahead. jenna: interesting twist to the case, isn't it, to start off the week? coming up he told police he just snapped. the trial begins for a 22-year-old accused of savagely beating his girlfriend to death. we'll tell you specifics on that case. plus for a lot of you tornadoes, hail, snow, in certain parts of the country. threat of dangerous weather is not over yet. report on what you need to know today, coming up. >> tornado on the ground northwest, northeast! go! >> right down there, it is on the ground, southeast [ female announcer ] there's a gap out there.

that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. but if healthcare changes, if it becomes simpler... if frustration and paperwork decrease... if grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care.

jon: right now an update on some

of the stories that we are following. the murder trial of 22-year-old clayton wit whittemore is getting underway. he is accused of savagely beating his girlfriend to death in her dorm room in 2012. rutgers quarterback phillip nelson was arrested on suspicion of assault. he is accused of beating a 24-year-old fellow football player isaac colstad and leaving him in critical condition. a fire battalion chief accused of murdering his fiance. 55-year-old orville mo fleming has been on the run since the first of play. >> heard a crash. that was one of the trees going through my living room window. so i went upstairs to check it out. i went backdown stairs again. i heard another big boom, tree behind the house and got taken out of the ground and thrown against the shed. jenna: that was a home owner in nebraska after the town was hit by severe storms, part of a

powerful system moving across the country that brought dangerous mix of damaging winds, hail and snow in someplaces. garrett tenney live in chicago with more on this story. garrett? >> reporter: jenna, as many as 26 tornadoes reported over four states in mother's day weekend. the worst of the damage is in the kansas city area. this high school in the small town of orec, look at picture they poste facebook stage. this is it where the school's roof used to be. as many as 300 homes were damaged by winds, winds as strong as 135 miles an hour. neighbors say they rushed to their basements and could feel the tornado go by. >> it was a train. sounded like a train going through. >> our house was shaking and dirt was coming into the house. >> baby's room, there are two branches sticking in the, from the ceiling. >> just glad the baby's okay. i need to see them. i really need to see my babies. >> we're just all received that everybody is okay and we made it out. we can replace our things.

can't replace our lives. >> reporter: thankfully no reports of any deaths or serious injuries from these storms but these storms also brought golf ball-sized hail in parts of kansas, iowa, indiana as well as nebraska. several other tornadoes touched down over the weekend around the lincoln area, damaging or destroying a majority of homes in the small town of beaver creek, or beaver crossing rather just west of lincoln. tens of thousands of holes are without power. the winds all throughout the midwest knocked over power lines. much of the power has been restored this morning but threat of severe weather continues throughout much of today all the way from the border north of canada down to san antonio, jenna. there are more than 50 million americans are under threat of severe weather. jenna: important day to pave attention what is going on outside of your door. garrett, thank you very much. jon: scary moments caught on tape inside of a hospital emergency room. why police were investigating what happened here.

plus, what do you use, paper or plastic? we're not talking grocery bags here. why cash might no longer be king. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are no branches? 24/7. i'm sorry, i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying new things? look! mommy's new vacuum! (cat screech) you feel that in your muscles? i do... drink water. it's a long story. well, not having branches let's us give you great rates and service. i'd like that. a new way to bank. a better way to save. ally bank. your money needs an ally. mayo? corn dogs?

regional medical center. witnesses say she was calling for help. a man came in behind her, grabbed her by the wrist and announced to bistanders that she was drunk. he can be seen on surveillance video pulling her out of the e.r. while she resists. he put her in an suv driven by another woman and they drove off. police spent the night looking for trio on assumption it was unlawful be a dunk shun. they spoke to all parties involved. there is no foul play. the case once dubbed a suspicious incident is now closed. jon: a weird one. patti ann browne, thanks. >> thanks. jenna: the old saying cash is king may not be true. two out of five americans carry less than $20 in cash on regular basis, one in 10 don't carry anything at all. joining me fox business anchor dagen mcdowell. whether cash will be a thing of the past. we'll never use it anymore of the. what does it really tell us? >> it looks that way, jenna. this is bankrate.com survey by

the way. tells you paying electronically has gotten so much easier and so many more options rather than carrying around like a wad of cash with you. think about it, credit cards, debit cards, they're great payment apps now that you can use on your phone. starbucks has a really terrific app. think about it like this. if it is cash, that you're paying with, you might be paying an atm fee to take that cash out. if you use a credit card, the fee falls on the merchant. so it is free to you, the consumer. and if you lose your credit card, it is protected by the credit card company but if you lose your cash it is gone forever, right? jenna: that's true. >> i'm of the belief, if you lose a fun ticket or 20-dollar bill you will probably find one in the next week. that is karma. jenna: what was interesting by the survey, they found a real gender discrepancy about who carries cash and who doesn't, right, dagen? >> that's right. women tend to carry a lot less

cash than men. 77% of women, carry $50 or less on daily basis compared with 61% of the men. so we don't, you know what? we don't need a big wad of 20s to feel important about ourselves. jenna: jon, do you have your wallet on you? jon: i do. jenna: let's see. try this out. jon: there is no cash in there. it is all plastic. >> you're no fun, jon. jenna: this is really, jon, how will you buy lunch for everybody? there is nothing in here. jon: no. i carry my cash in my money clip. jenna: give me the money clip. jon: no. that is up in my office. jenna: dagen, do you carry a lot of cash? >> no. i don't even have change in my pocketbook. i did see a gentleman yesterday at the service station at the gas station, buying something with 1 heroin 45 in nickles. jenna: no kidding? we have to use those. >> sound of nickels hitting counter. i just left. i didn't bother what he was buying.

jenna: let me ask you about this topic. we'll see jon's new money clip later if it actually exists. jon: oh. jenna: another interesting business topic i want to ask you b apparently there is original oreo. of not the oreo we all know or perhaps we love, the hydrox cookie. is making a come back. what is this all about? >> hide docs cook wrist were four years older than oreos. they debuted in 1908. they disappeared, they came back in 2008 for the 100th anniversary of hydrox. they stopped making them in 2000 two. they are like an oreo and i will date myself, really old and i remember eating them as a kid. they're not quite as sweet as oreos. but this company bought the rights to start making them again. they will be making a comeback. apparently they hold up better when you dip them in milk. jenna: interesting. a fan created a fan page. bill burnett of selina,

oklahoma, posted this. my brother and i loved them. i never got a taste for the interior oreo. >> well i know that given your craving, you're practically on the verge of craving baking soda at this point. jenna: are you have issue with the pregnant lady? is that what is happening right now? >> no, no. jenna: that is fight you don't want to get. >> green gatorade. jenna: green gatorade, jellybeans, mozzarella and hamburgers. >> i think hydrox, i think you will be a full-blown mom by the time they hit the market. jenna: supposed to be cheaper. when someone says something to me out loud, it may not happen in an hour, or day or two later, oh, if i could only have a hydrox. >> double stuffed oreo. jenna: i will call you, because you will come with me to get one. dagen, thank you very much. >> thank you, jenna. jon: bacon. that is all i have to say. jenna: come on. this is really going to get out of control, if you guys do this to me. jon: okay.

jenna: okay, come on. how about a banana, apple, something like that? jon: there you go. something healthy. spring water. jenna: doesn't really work. jon: still feeling pinch coming up. stunning new numbers how much your insurance premiums could rise in the second year of obamacare. plus kidnapping of those hundreds of young girls in nigeria, sparking debate about foreign policy and social media activism and whether the white house should be turning to places like twitter to try to send a message. we'll have a fair and balanced debate on that next. avo: with expedia

when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. 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.

jon: right now a quick look what's to come this hour on "happening now." first lady michelle bobama took to social media about the girls in nigeria. some are calling it hashtag activism and following a dangerous wildfire in texas. hundreds forced to flee as flames destroy homes and one of america's largest city turning to an army of surveillance cameras to cut down on crimes. is that enfringing on your right to privacy? jenna: the year ahead is what the insurance premiums will look like after the first year of implementing the health care law. today we're getting the first look at some rates out there. david joins us now and this is interesting because it's coming after last week. a lot of big health insurers said we don't know what it's going to look like but we have a

small snippet of what potentially could be coming. >> a big increase is what we're seeing. it's like the canary and the coal mines because they're the first ones to report. they're one of 36 states that handed over exchanges to the federal government so from what virginia is filing, we're going to probably see what the other states are filing and it is not pretty. >> what is it? >> first of all, by the way, it comes just as we're all spending more money at the grocery store and at the gas pump and for natural gas and whatever, those prices are going up and the price of our health insurance is going to go up a lot. the average increase, the average increase in virginia is about 8% increase. now, that goes across the map. we have anthem health keeper $ going up 8 1/2%. that insures about 110,000 people. kaiser is going up 3.3%. that has about 10,000 members. and then care first blue choice is going to go up about 15%. that has about 32,000 members.

the average is about 8% and that's what most people are going to see. this is taking into account the fact that insurers now have to insure people that aren't that healthy. jenna: that's the reason why. why are we seeing the premiums go up? >> obamacare mandate. obamacare forces insurance companies to insure people that need it more than other people so that means if you're healthy, your insurance policies are going to go up. >> you know what the argument agains that is. health care and health care premiums are going up regardless. this is just the beginning. >> the obama administration is first to jump on the fact that that health care has not been going up over five or six years but over a two hi-year period i going up quite a bit. health care had come down or at least the rate chriss were not as much as they used to be but now they're going up again. jenna: and quickly here, this is only for the state of virginia. when do we hear about our states? >> that's the fascinating question. president obama is telling all people running for congress and

the senate in november to embrace obamacare. don't run from it. embrace it. that's hard to do because guess when they come in? october is when all the other states are going to come in with their rate increases so just before the election we'll see the eight, nine, 10, even 14% rate increases. that will probably weigh in on voters' decisions. jenna: we'll talk about that in the coming -- and actually the coming few hours of our program but obviously the next couple of months. thank you very much. gret to see you. jon: some new questions about a twitter campaign in terms of the terrible kidnapping of more than 200 school girls innigeria. after first lady michelle obama posted this picture of herself with the hashtag bring back our girls. it's a move that sparked this discussion on fox news sunday over the weekend. >> more than two million people have now tweeted the hashtag -- and i'm just curious because i must say, i was not that familiar with this phenomenon.

it's even got a name. hashtag activism. and i'm curious what you make of it. do you think that this is significant and helpful? and can make progress or do you think it's really about helping the people who tweet the hashtag feel better about themselves? >> it's an exercise in self-este self-esteem. i don't know how adults stand there facing a camera and say bring back our girls. these barbarians in nigeria supposed to check their twiter and say, uh-oh, michelle obama is upset with us. we'd better change our procedure. jon: we have two fox news contributors so jim, what do you think? george will calls it an exercise in self -- i lost it. >> self nar sissism or expression or cheap grace.

patting yourself on the back. listen. i'm on twitter, alan, you're on twitter, jon, you're on twitter so twitter is a great communications tool. what's strange is when the first lady of the united states holds up a sign saying, bring back our girls. another option would be to see her husband and say, mr. president, or barack, what do you plan on doing about this? >> how do you know she hasn't? you don't know she hasn't. this shows how little george will knows about hashtags and twitter and social media. as bob pointed out, this was originally tweeted, bring back our girls, by a nigerian attorney who is not originally created by michelle obama. and the people have responded, include the pope and david cameron. to mock this kind of activist, it used to be people would march in the streets. this is much more powerful because this is global. the arab spring was partly created by what happened on

twitter. these people who don't understand social media ought to not mock it because they don't know what they're talking about. jon: the word i was looked for was an exercise in self-esteem. you say it's powerful, alan, but it takes no effort to send out a tweet. other than that, you know, how have they changed the equation here? >> they certainly inspired the arab spring and we don't know what the end result of the kidnapping of these nigerian girls will be. it's brought world attention. china has responded, the pope has responded. this is getting global attention because there's a place to go to put hashtag. you want to mock what a hashtag is, fine, but again, it shows a deep misunderstanding of the power of social media which more and more will be used for the social good, thank goodness. jon: there was another social media campaign, same continent going after joseph coney. how did that turn out? >> not well. use still loose in uganda or

somewhere nearby. alan is right. social media is a powerful tool and we should respect it. i put the pope and david cameron on a different category. cameron can go to the nations, go to nigeria, he could send troops, whatever, all sorts of things. so the pope can be a moral leader and therefore, social media leader. cameron and president obama ought to be -- if they think it's a serious issue, they should be doing something. mark stein had a piece yesterday called "bring back our bracket, our manhood." let's do something real, folks. let's not just sit here and think that holding signs is the same as action. >> this is a very powerful tool as you know and the people mocking it are ignorant about what it can be and what it does. and in terms of the net effect, the effort may not have succeeded. not every movement succeeds. that does not mean this is not a worthy cause. jon: there was a moment on "fox

and friends" this morning when lieutenant colonel peters brought up this issue and something that i think is related. i want to play this for you and get your reaction. >> the notion that the left has created this lie about republican war on women, while they are ignoring the brutality, brutal treatment of women, you have women being punished for being raped, you have general mutilation, you have stoning to death but also the slavery, the oppression, the lack of freedom and the american left says nothing about it. jon: what about that? >> what do you mean? we're just talking about hashtag activism and what some people on the left -- we just showed michelle obama. ralph peters is clearly a right wijer, always has bad things to say about the left. i support the left. but you know, let's be fair to say the left is not mindful of this. >> that's not true.

jon: i think it comes back to the point that jim was suggesting earlier, that to send out a tweet is different from, you know, getting your hands dirty, getting involved in the issue. >> one does not mean you're not doing the other. >> it sort of does. >> it does not. >> the obama ainistration did. they're not naming the nigerian terrorist group as a terrorist group. they were worried about their multi cultural responsibilities or and like that so they didn't do it. this is how this thing happened. the french were much tougher in and a few countries to the north in mali because they didn't let this happen there. and we have not been living up to the standards set by the french. >> what we're talking about here in terms of social hashtag activism is raising global consciousness and that is a very, very important thing to be able to do and it's one of the gret benefits of living in the internet digital age that we have the ability to do this. >> the president made a speech. it would do the same thing and faster. >> and he will. jon: we're going to leave it

there. thank you both. jenna: to be continued there. in the meantime, check out what's ahead at the top of the hour. hi there. >> hey, jenna. nearly half a billion dollars in your tax money down the tubes on four obamacare state exchanges that have all failed. who should be accountable? >> and critics taking on the white house for what they call a twitter style approach to some foreign policy issues so you just heard jim and alan battling them out on crayon diplomacy or hashtag diplomacy with construction paper. we'll do that as well. >> is it okay to trash your ex in a college graduation speech? the former mrs. tiger woods did and she came out swinging. >> can't wait for that. all that plus our hashtag one lucky guy on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. jenna: thank you so much. plus be careful because someone let the political dogs out apparently. we'll tell you who and where they've suddenly been unleashed. plus firefighters in the texas

panhandle working hard to put out a massive wildfire causing extensive damage. the latest from that state next. a simple question:

in retirement, will you outlive your money? uhhh. no, that can't happen. that's the thing, you don't know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive.. confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need. well, knowing gives you confidence. start building your confident retirement today.

jenna: wide spectrum of american life under fire from the far left. at least according to a column in the "wall street journal." daniel writing, quote, it's obvious that the far left has decided there are no longer constraints on what it can do to anyone who disagrees with it. how did this happen? who let the dogs out? answer is not university

presidents. the answer is that the obama administration let the dog out. joining us is the author of that column. so let's talk about this. you say there's a trigger event, that something has happened, something has snapped and something is different. what is it? >> well, what's not different is that conservative speakers are being driven out of campuses. condoleezza rice, charles murray was, somali woman was going to speak because they said it would conflict with their core values. and it just seems that this has been ramping up more over the last couple of years or even some are saying now they want professors to put trigger warnings on their courses so if there's any course content that might be hurtful to people for reasons of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, they want to know the professors are going to raise difficult ideas. jenna: why is that the obama administration fault? >> i think it's directly related

to the title nine in the area of sexual violence which is to say, they did an agreement in may with the university of montana, big 37 pages, single spaced, telling montana what they had to do to be in compliance and a lot of language is slippery. they have to hire an equity consultant on campus to inform them whether they're in compliance or not. now, what this has done is essentially made university presidents -- this is called a blueprint. this thing has been described as a blueprint for every university in the country. last week the white house released names of 55 universities under investigation, not accused but under investigation of being in violation of title nine. i think this is empowered the campus left to say, we've got the administration behind us now in the area of sexual violence which is very, very difficult to define. it's been an extraordinary hard

thing to enforce title nine because it's so inspecific. jenna: one of the things you write about as well is the politics of the left with the right rolls with the prejiktability of traffic jams. there's an editorial, center ring at the republican circus. they're talking about republicans and the conservative movement going too far over when it comes to benghazi, pushing past the bounds of what's rational and that's somewhat what you're explaining in your people, what's happening to the left in the university circles and all of that. >> huge difference. jenna: why do you think it is different from what we've seen in the past? >> when it comes to things like benghazi and the i.r.s., these are opinions being aggressively expressed. that's what the first amendment is about. i have an opinion about something. i'm saying it. what's going on, on these campuses, and it's extending beyond campuses now, is the left is telling the right, you have to shut up. your ideas are not worth hearing. we're not going to allow you to

stand on that stage on men'sment and say anything that might offend us. that's a lot different than saying the right is pushing an idea. they don't want you to even speak your idea. jenna: if that's the trend, what changes it? >> it would have required more strength from university presidents and university administrators to tell these activists that, no, we have an open -- we have academic freedom on our campus. this campus is about the open exchange of ideas. but i think because of title nine, because they have federal funding at risk, if they aren't seen in compliance with its scriptures on sexual violence on campus, they're just not going to push back against the left wing activist on campus anymore and i predict it will get worse than it has. jenna: do you think there's a tipping point when the people say, listen. we actually want an exchange of free ideas and opinion. that's what the university life is supposed to be about and that's broadly what the country

is looking for. >> i think it's beginning to affect even liberal professors who are teaching courses that they thought are simply what college students ought to learn and the left wing students are telling them, no. your material is offensive to us. once they start attacking the professors, i think that's when we make get to the tipping point. jenna: great to see you as always. thank you very much. jon? jon: wildfire raging out of control. hundreds of people forced to leave the area. why this one is so tough to fight. and thousands of security cameras popping up in an american city rocked by violent crime. why that is sparking controversy and what critics say they're concerned about next. people join angie's list for all kinds of reasons. i go to angie's list to gauge whether or not the projects will be done in a timely fashion and within budget. angie's list members can tell you which provider is the best in town. you'll find reviews

jenna: right now firefighters in the texas panhandle still struggle to go contain a massive wildfire. more than 100 homes destroyed since the fire erupted since yesterday afternoon. >> that's right. 700 residents in the texas panhandle had to leave their homes to flee a wildfire and one person reportedly died of a heart attack during the fire. that is according to the city manager of one of the areas affected. the touch inson county grass fire also reportedly destroyed as many as 100 homes. the fire began yesterday and was fuelled by high winds and dry conditions. emergency crews from 26 counties were battling the blaze. this morning it is about 75% contained. but it has burned more than 1,000 acres. highway 136 was shut down to all but emergency vehicles due to the blowing dust, smoke and soot. there were many power outages

and witnesses say the area looks like a war zone. dozens of evacuees spent the night at a high school and others went to a local church and the cleanup is going to take a long time. jenna: thank you. jon: there is a new controversy in chicago as tens of thousands of security cameras pop up all over the city. critics charge that all those cameras really amount to an invasion of privacy. mike is live in chicago with more on that. mike? >> and right over my shoulder you can see an example of one of the cameras, part of the system described as one of the most extensive and integrated in the nation. 24,000 cameras in all across the city of chicago. now, 348 of those are at traffic intersections. of those, 2/3 are being repurposed with the ability to swing 360 degrees and get a look at that intersection and that's where you have your civil rights groups raising red flags saying

the city is using public safety as an excuse to put big brother on every corner. >> what this new technology permits is for these cameras to now be integrated into the massive surveillance camera system the city of chicago has so the cameras can be switched, if you will, from being traffic safety devices so being part of a broader surveillance system. >> someone who understands the down side very well is mayor emmanuel. his motor case has been caught speeding and running red lights 17 times. >> as soon as i saw that or heard about it, the story, i said, look. follow the law. nobody is above the law. slow down, period. non stop. >> the aclu says the cameras do not necessarily bring down the numbers with violent crime but move the violent crimes to different places where the cameras can't see them. also in terms of traffic accidents, the number of

accidents is not down but the severity is. people aren't speeding through intersections. instead, you get rear end collisions with lighter injuries. jon: they're keeping an eye on you there in chicago. thanks. jenna: brand new stories we're bringing you next hour of "happening now, a man drives an antique tractor across the country for a very good cause." we're going to talk to him live as he's on his journey as to why he's doing this. plus what's really causing the obesity epidemic? and the one ingredient that could be so much of our food that may be to blame for all of this. one ingredient. jon will have that story coming up. avo: wherever your journey takes you
