asked, which toy would you choose? richard would add stretch armstrong. i don't know. stu and i talked about twister. there's a bunch of toys out there. i'm picking twister. it's happening all over again. an attack in afghanistan. the united states military hits a tabld target in northern afghanistan after militants there took control of an entire city. why the taliban takeover is so terribly troubling. plus, it's a club so exclusive you need $1.7 billion just to get in the door. it's the forbes 400 list. it ranks the country's richest men and women. we'll look at who made the cut, who didn't and did you believe donald trump's "i'm so rich, i'm worth $10 billion" claim? did you? forbes says it's not that huge

at all. now what forbes says is true while trump fires away as only the birther billionaire of queens can. let's get to it. >> now, "shepard smith reporting" live from the fox news deck. >> good morning. american bombs fell again on the taliban in afghanistan long after president obama declared an end to our nation's longest war. the pentagon confirms a warplane carried out an air strike against taliban forces near the afghanistan city of kunduz. population about that of cincinnati. the taliban torched government buildings and blocked anybody trying to escape. they seized control. the first major city the taliban have taken since the u.s. went to war with them after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. and there's word today that taliban are now fighting for control of that city's airport.

the loss of kunduz, however brief, is a huge defeat to afghanistan's president who today marks exactly one year in office. it's also a troubling development for the united states and coalition forces which late last year declared an end to combat missions in afghanistan. the american air strike was part of an agreement to protect afghanistan security after the pullout of coalition forces. but current plans call for that protection to end by the end of next year, essentially leaving that country to fend for itself. what does this mean for the planned u.s. and coalition pullout? >> a u.s. military official spokesman says that even though the president planned on basically reducing the forces in afghanistan to basically the embassy and enough forces to essentially protect them, by the end of next year, he plans to consult with his national security team as well as commanders on the ground for the pace of that drawdown. as for air strikes like we saw

today, those are not unusual according to a defense official. but take a look at some numbers we have to show you. you can see there have been 523 weapons released in air strikes of this year. it's significantly down from the same period in recent years. and today a pentagon official added some detail about that strike that we just saw. >> this was a force protection strike because there were coalition personnel in the area and afghan forces and the judgment was made that they were facing some threat from the ground and that this action was taken as a result of that. >> and the u.s. has been continuing air strikes as part of the counterterrorism mission and also force protection of u.s. force there is. >> the idea is for afghanistan to take care of itself. what are they planning to do to get the city back? >> afghan forces have launched a counteroffensive in the area and said they have taken some of the buildings back, including a police headquarters.

afghanistan's president is saying that his forces are taking care to avoid civilian casualties. the taliban is using human shields. this is what the pentagon is saying. take a listen. >> the situation in kunduz remains fluid and we are continuing to follow the situation closely. we have confidence in the afghan national security forces. >> the pentagon is saying that this is a setback for afghanistan's forces. shep, an official in afghanistan is also blaming pakistan saying part of the problem is there are terrorist sanctuaries in that country. >> yep. thank you. let's turn to ambassador edward ginine. what are we supposed to do? >> pretty serious. it's a big city. while i think the afghan forces will retake the city, the fact that the taliban did seize it is a huge propaganda victory for them and they'll capitalize on

that. >> the united states military, is there a role here? if so, how big is it? >> look, i think -- i joined the critics of the administration's policy having drawn down the extent that they did. the afghan forces are far more capable than we've seen with iraqi forces. but they've depended a bit on us for air support and power and the constraints now on the u.s. air force in spite of what the pentagon is saying is to make it so tough and tight that they only can respond in extremes. so the afghan military is left unprotected in the field at the very point in time the taliban is expanding. >> we've been in there for 14 years. do we need to stay 25 years or 50 years or should we just plan to be in afghanistan forever and ever amen? >> well, that's a very, very good question. and i can't really answer how long. but i do believe that we have an obligation and probably an american interest in staying there with sufficient capacity to support the government. >> doesn't that leave our troops

and our people in harm's way? >> it does if we don't leave enough forces there to protect the ones who are there, yes. >> so that's the problem, how many to leave, because the afghan north has been seen as a relatively -- and i use that word sort of judiciously, relatively secure place. >> right. the north has been considered secure. and i think part of the problem -- and we'll probably all find out more about it here in the future -- is that there may have been appointments of some commanders and others for political reasons up north, corruption as well. you hear some stories about the central government's leadership in condition dews. con dews. kunduz. we know the taliban has been in control of the rural areas. an attack on the city, while surprising probably is not entirely out of the question. >> and the timing suggests to us that a lot of this is about

domestic politics, after all, one year since he was put into office. that ought to tell you something. >> definitely, the timing. and there's a new isis presence in the country. far more serious than we've anticipated. >> good to see you. thank you. president obama and leaders of some of the most powerful countries in the world cannot seem to agree on how to beat the islamic state. president obama led the united nations meeting on the battle against the terrorist group. he claims the islamic state will lose in the end because it has nothing to offer in the end but death and suffering. >> we will ultimately prevail because we are guided by a stronger, better vision, a commitment to the security dignity of every human being. but it will requires diligence, focus and sustained effort by all of us. >> president obama also said defeating isis requires a new leader in syria. and that's kind of problematic

today because syria's current leader is the murderous dictator, bashar al assad. he's refused to step down throughout syria's bloody civil war. and assad's allies, including the president of iran and the russian president vladimir putin are calling for the international community to work with the dictator who's reportedly killed hundreds of thousands of his own people. russia is set to chair its own meeting on the islamic state at the united nations tomorrow. our correspondent is live there for us. >> it is russia versus the united states here at the u.n. as you said, russia will be holding that counterterrorism meeting here tomorrow. vladimir putin will not be chairing it because he's gone back to moscow last night. but today president obama chaired the meeting here attended by a variety of heads of state. he did express some confidence in the fight against isis. he admitted that it is slow but did announce that three more nations have joined the coalition and that he says isis has lost one-third of the

territory in iraq that it's gained. he also told the world leaders the way to defeat that terrorist philosophy is to do just that, about which he is optimistic. >> it is not going to be enough to defeat isil in the battlefield. we have to prevent it from radicalizing, recruiting and inspiring others to violence in the first place. and this means defeating their ideology. ideologies are not defeated with guns. they're defeated by better ideas. >> presumably syria will be represented at the meeting tomorrow which means that bashar al assad potentially will have his representative along with his russian friends. >> striking video out of there today with president obama meeting with the cuban president, raul castro, who would have thought? >> yeah. and some demands from raul castro. he wants the embargo to end. he wants gitmo back and wants us to fork over $1.1 trillion with a "t."

we didn't get any details if they discussed that during their meeting today when both president obama and president castro sat down together. the white house says they discussed reforms and human rights. but one of those issues has to be the return of guantanamo bay, the naval base that we leased since 1903. it's 45 acres. we only pay $4,000. we wanted to find out more about how they plan to do this. we asked the cuban foreign minister on how he plans to get our money. >> translator: we will trade the willingness of the cuban government to initiate a process of mutual compensations, thank you. >> fidel castro happened to confiscate $7 billion of our assets when he took power, no word if they plan to give us a $7 billion discount on that $1.1 trillion, shep. >> eric, thank you. a woman in georgia is expecting to die tonight. she's a convicted murderer on death row for the killing of her own husband. the state is scheduled to execute her less than four hours

from now. today one of her children pleaded with the parole board to spare his mother's life and even the pope has weighed in. that's coming up on this tuesday afternoon. you wouldn't take medicine without checking the side effects. hey honey. huh. the good news is my hypertension is gone. so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck. hi mi'm raph. tom. my name is anne. i'm one of the real live attorneys you can talk to through legalzoom. don't let unanswered legal questions hold you up, because we're here, we're here, and we've got your back. legalzoom. legal help is here. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies,

the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

just hours from now, officials in georgia are scheduled to execute the state's first woman prisoner in decades. or carry out the first execution of a woman in decades. today she got one last chance to try to save her life. the state parole board met in

atlanta to decide whether they should commute the death sentence of the convicted killer, kelly gissendaner. her oldest son addressed members of the board today asking them to spare her life saying he's lost one parent and can't lose another. in 1997, jurors sentenced kelly gissendaner to die for her role in her husband's killing. prosecutors said she convinced her then-lover to stab him to death. a representative for pope francis wrote a letter to the state parole board urging officials to call off the execution. the pope spoke out about this last week during his visit to the u.s. this will be the state's third attempt this year, is that right, jonathan? >> yeah, that's right, shep. originally kelly gissendaner was slated for execution back in february. but this approaching winter storm forced prison officials to reschedule until the following month. then when they attempted execution again in march,

technicians discovered the lethal injection drugs had turned cloudy apparently because they were stored at the wrong temperature and the execution was postponed yet again. the parole board reviewed the latest information, documents and family testimony pertaining to the case. even pope francis weighed in sending a letter through a representative urging the board to spare gissendaner's life simply based on the dignity of every human life at every stage. but ultimately the board decided to stick by its original decision back in february, denying clemency. >> the families of the convict and the victim are weighing in here. >> they are. and they are at odds with one another. kelly gissendaner's three children are strongly in support of sparing her life. in fact two of them recently spoke out in an advocacy video. watch. >> my brothers and i lost one parent. i don't know that i can lose another one. i don't know that i can handle that. >> supporters say gissendaner

has changed in prison, getting a theology degree, ministering to other inmates and even talking some of those inmates out of suicide. but the extended family of her husband, doug, has released an opposing statement saying, quote, as the murderer she's been given more rights and opportunity over the last 18 years than she ever afforded to doug who, again, is the victim here. she has no mercy, gave him no life, no choices nor the opportunity to live his life. his life was not hers to take. incidentally, gissendaner has requested her last meal on the menu tonight, cheese dip with chips, texas fajita nachos and diet frosted lemonade. every year when 9/11 rolls around, people post messages on facebook and twitter about how they'll never forget and promise always to remember the attacks that changed our nation. and all those heroes who gave their lives trying to save others now as a nation, we are in danger of both forgetting and

neglecting the survivors of that day. a health program that covers the cost for thousands of people is set to expire unless the do-nothing congress does something. senat join us as we celebrate eddie's retirement, and start planning your own.

20 minutes past the hour. scientists say one of the world's most famous pharaohs might have secret rooms in his tomb, king tut, of course. some images in our slide show. this is an interesting one. researchers in egypt say they have uncovered evidence that suggests there could be two burial chambers hidden beneath the walls here of king tut's tomb. according to one expert on king tut, one of those rooms could be the resting place of an ancient queen of egypt. that's what they're telling us.

scientists inspecting the tomb say some of the walls were covered with a soft plaster which could mean they're hiding a doorway. a team from london first discovered king tut's tomb back in the 1920s. it is said to be 3,300 years old. they're checking the walls with a special radar to detect if there's any hallow space behind them without doing any damage to the ancient paintings, company for king tut. we'll see. thousands of 9/11 first responders with cancer and other serious health problems could lose their medical benefits. the 9/11 health bill is set to expire at midnight tomorrow, threatening billions of dollars in health care funding. it's a story we covered extensively leading up to the bill's passage five years ago and here we go again. kirsten gillibrand was a key to passing that measure and is one

of the leaders of it to make it permanent. six first responders have died since this 9/11. that's an astounding number, six people have died in just the past few weeks. >> yes. we have first responders walk the halls of congress, talk to senators, talk to house members about the urgency of this and since that time, six have passed away. 1,700, shep, have already died since 9/11. and more than 4,000 people have cancer. these are men and women who deserve our support. they shouldn't have to come to washington to ask congress to do the right thing. >> what's the rub? is there pork in this bill? from everything that i can see, it's a clean bill, is it not? >> it's a clean bill. the real problem we have is a lack of empathy, a lack of urgency. people don't understand these are lives we're talking about, not statistics. >> who's against it, senator? do you have names? >> well, we don't have anyone overtly against it. but i can tell you, shep, there's too many people in washington who want to cut this bill, who want to make it a five-year bill, only want to fund some of the cancer treatments. how do you tell a police officer

that you can only get some of your cancer treatments because we're not going to fund all of them? it's outrageous. and truly the lack of empathy here is vacillating. the silence, the lack of urgency. that's what we're up against. >> do you expect there will be votes against this bill or not? >> i do not expect anyone would dare to vote against our first responders. but what we have to do is create a call to action because nothing ever happens in washington until regular people stand up and demand action. and right now, we have no scheduled vote. we're building support. your show, shep, made a huge difference. after you covered this, we got more and more senators to sign on. we're nearly at 60 senators. but we need to do more. and we have to push this so that we get the opportunity to vote and be heard and to make sure this bill is permanent. >> what happens for people -- tomorrow night this thing runs out. what happens the next day for people who are in the middle of treatment? >> well, the blessing is that there's still money in the program. so the money doesn't run out

tomorrow. but what i'm most worried about is if congress doesn't act now, soon enough, they'll start getting notices. and those notices will say, your health care is running out, your doctors won't be available. and imagine someone in stage 4 cancer getting a notice saying his or her doctors are no longer available or their health care is no longer there for them. i don't want them to deal with that level of anxiety and uncertainty. these are our heroes. they answer the call of duty. they did exactly what we asked of them after 9/11. and they stayed. they stayed for weeks and months, first looking for survivors and then doing the horrible task of looking for remains. >> since we spoke on this a week or so ago, a couple of weeks now, i've gotten a number of calls and e-mails from people who say they're victims -- that is what they are -- victims of the aftermath of the attack of 9/11. and their complaints are numerous and varied about how health care has gone, how difficult the process is. even if this does get extended, it's not easy. >> it's not easy.

for example, more police officers have died since 9/11 than on 9/11. and the types of cancers these men and women have are throat cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer. and they're dying in their 40s and early 50s because of these horrible diseases. and that leaves their family with sometimes no resources. and these families should not be going bankrupt because we don't have the will to stand up for them and do the right thing. >> this got some notice the other day because jon stewart down there with you -- is he still pushing on this? >> he is. he's still an advocate. very similar to the work you've been doing on this, calling attention to the issue, making sure your viewers know how urgent it is. when your viewers hear about this issue and call their members of congress, it actually makes a difference, i think because you covered this on your show two weeks ago, those calls that people made actually made a difference. about a dozen people have signed onto the bil last

show. >> senator, nice to talk to you. good luck. there's not a lot of partisanship involved here. you have to help those people, that's just a matter of fact. >> absolutely. she says that making a phone call, sending an e-mail works. senator gillibrand says her staff showed her. these are the things people say they're concerned about. not a trumped-up measure or pie in the sky request. the people who went to the pile after 9/11 who need help with the cancer that they got as a result of 9/11. funding for their medical bills. one of the republican presidential candidates making a new push in a key early voting state. and donald trump is admitting he may not be the front-runner forever? also that sometimes he sounds a little childish. we're live on the campaign trail. and would it matter at all if he does, oh, i have this much money but he exaggerated by 100%? and would you believe him or

would you believe "forbes" magazine? probably depends on a lot of things. he's huge! a lot of money but not that much.

more of the headlines from the fox news deck. firefighters say they're amazed a woman survived after a truck crashed right into her home. happened yesterday outside phoenix. cops there say the woman made it out with just a few bumps and bruises. police say the driver was distracted while looking for his cell phone. he and his passenger weren't hurt. this may look like snow but it's toxic foam in southern india. officials blame pollution from nearby garages. and here at home, more than a dozen kids with cancer taking jet pack rides over biscayne bay in south florida.

one mom says it was a special treat for her daughter who basically lives in a bubble during a treatment for leukemia. jet packs coming soon with drones. going to be awesome.

bottom of the hour. top of the news, donald trump is weighing in. new polls show his lead is shrinking in the race for the white house. trump told nbc news it's just part of the ebb and flow of the campaign. donald trump and the retired nur surge neurosurgeon ben carson are in a statistical tie according to the latest poll. all of this is worthless. we're not voting anytime soon and none of this means anything since the election is a year away. so fear not if your person is losing or winning. it doesn't really matter. trump is also admitting he sometimes sounds, quote, a little childish, unquote. he told cnn he's usually responding to attacks from other candidates. donald trump is set to sit down tonight with bill o'reilly at

8:00 eastern, 7:00 central here on fox news channel. some republican donors are trying to inject a little life into chris christie's campaign, a campaign that's been stuck in the single digits. governor chris christie of new jersey is in iowa today announcing endorsements from doctors and activists who fried to recruit him four years ago. in the big wall, you can see governor christie at just 1% in the latest public policy polling out of iowa. the supporters say they think he has a better shot now that two other governors, scott walker and rick perry have dropped out. carl cameron has the latest news from des moines. who are the latest donors trying to get chris christie back in the race? >> well, christie hasn't actually been out in iowa. he's come here about eight times, more than some of the candidates. but he's very far back in the polls. it's beginning to get towards crunch time here, shep. pretty soon, we'll be talking about money, like in about 24 hours, 36 hours from now. and what's happened today with these six donors, these six

very, very important, influential republican activists in iowa are really the inside crowd with the five-term republican governor here. in this state. the governors have the caucuses next year. they have joined on with christie. coming as it does in the vacuum of the walker withdrawal last week and perry a couple of weeks before that, there is an idea for a lot of other candidates. bobby jindal has been here a lot and continues to think he has an opening with what would have been the walker support. we also have marco rubio coming and john kasich is also expected to come back out here. ohio is a winner-take-all state. the issue is the money. the money has a deadline tomorrow night. it's the end offend third quarter. the third quarter is considered

the most important fund-raising period in presidential politics. you have to have at least $80 million raised in this year in order to be competitive in the early primary and caucus states next year. so far the only people who are close to this are jeb bush, ted cruz. everybody else is chasing it. without it, they're in big trouble. chris christie said he's not worry about the money. he has people who do that for him. watch. oh, sorry. what he said was he can't waste his time on it. he has a campaign manager and others who will deal with that. his purpose is to talk about his vision and his ideas and suggested that anybody who does that is like a lawyer who has themselves as an attorney and an idiot as a client, his words, not mine, referring specifically to what was the fate of walker and perry who got too tied up in tactics and fund-raising and not talking to voters. >> is trump in a slump? >> a little bit, sure. since the last debate, his poll numbers have dipped down a little bit.

you can see that on the real clear politics average trend lines online where you see that there's a drop there. he's also changed his tone. we saw him last night delivering his tax policy and he was using written notes. he who was always mocking those who used teleprompters. he has also pulled a few punches lately, tried to mend some fences and avoid the combative stuff. it may be because he recognizes after two debates and tons of tv appearances, it's time now for specifics and perhaps a little bit more of a regularized political rhetoric. >> carl, thanks. republicans on the hill are scrambling to pick new leaders in the wake of speaker john boehner's decision to quit the congress, a decision that really stunned pretty much everybody. members of the house republican conference set to meet behind closed doors in about 90 minutes. their second meeting of the day. we're told it could go on for hours. we reported during this hour yesterday that the house majority leader, kevin mccarthy,

announced he is running to replace speaker boehner. but even if mccarthy does get the job, that leaves his current position and possibly much more up for grabs. details on that from mike emanu emanuel, our man at congress. any chance the republican leaders simply move up? >> it could be quite a shift in house gop leadership. assuming that kevin mccarthy becomes the next speaker, some are competing for his jobs. there are folks lining up for the possibility to jump up the leadership chart. the guy who wants to be speaker is making his pitch. >> i know what's going on across the country. and i'm concerned about what we hear. a lot of people in washington concerned about power and institutions. i'm concerned about making a difference in everybody's lives. >> meanwhile, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell announced a short time ago that he and

john boehner plan to start negotiations with the white house with the hope of reaching a two-year budget deal. the idea setting spending levels for both years so the appropriations folks know how much they have to spend. shep? >> the tea partiers forced him out. are they running anybody or pushing others out? >> it sounds like -- they're saying they want to deliver on promises they've made to their constituents. sounds like even though he was boehner's right-hand man as majority leader that at least some conservatives are willing to give kevin mccarthy a shot. >> kevin walks into a meeting and says, what do you think? he's a very inclusive type of leader who does want to hear from all sides. i always felt like i at least had a say on issues when i talked with kevin. >> it's a matter of leadership. we have to keep our pledges to the people and make sure that the people know our pledges on paper ahead of time. >> house republicans are due to meet late today to discuss strategy, a new approach. >> mike, thank you.

i mentioned "forbes" magazine's out with this annual list of american billionaires. the rich are getting richer. their combined net worth, the highest it's ever been. julia is here with that. tell me the rest of it. >> the total net worth of everybody on the list is $2.34 trillion -- >> something's up with this mike, julia. >> that's larger than all but seven of the world's economies. that's a pretty large number. and the net worth to make the list, you needed $1.7 billion. the average net worth of whomever was on the list is $5.8 billion. and then at number five, the top five, the koch brothers, charles and david, tied at $41 billion. and then at number four was amazon founder jeff bezos. number three, we have larry ellison at $47.5 billion.

>> kind of creepy looking right there. >> and number two, we have warren buffett. and then finally, number one, of course, bill gates. for 22 years. he's worth $76 billion. >> $76 billion. we'll get to donald trump -- two microphones didn't work. we'll bring in gerri willis. everybody wants to know. donald trump has said from the beginning -- >> he's the man. >> he's huge and he's also worth $10 billion. but "forbes" says, you're lying. >> no, $4.5 billion. >> is that all? >> they've been fighting about this for years. they've had this list for 33 years. they called it the forbes 400 in the early years. millions of dollars, not billions back then. but even then they were fighting about how much he was worth. they put five reporters on this who did 80 interviews. and of course they're looking at all his assets, what's the real value of a golf course, what's

the real value of the pageants, all of that. and they say, not more than $10 billion. $4.5 billion. >> you know what happens when you contradict donald trump. he starts screaming. i guess he said that "forbes" is a bankrupt magazine. he didn't mention any bleeding, for once. that's nice. but he did mention bankruptcy. >> i did want to tell you, the youngest guy -- if you want to compare yourself, even spiegel, founded snapchat, he's worth $2.1 billion. i don't know what i was doing at 25. this guy, a lot of money. elizabeth holmes, the youngest woman. and the oldest is david rockefeller. he's 100 years old. >> wow, really? >> his family, standard oil, of course. he ran chase bank for a number of years.

>> can probably still spend it with the best of them? >> he gives a lot of it away to charity. >> probably have some good parties, too. nice to see you. ahead from florida, one of the more unusual 911 calls we've ever heard. >> there's a big monkey in the street. it's on top of my car now. >> a big monkey in the street. said monkey decided to hang out in the mailbox and munch on some mail. when the cops showed up, he didn't go quietly. that's a patrol car you're vandalizing, monkey. come on.

cops in florida are used to dealing with stray animals and wild animals like gators and bears and ducks and stuff. but this week, a 911 caller reported something really strange even by florida standards. a monkey on the loose eating the mail out of someone's mailbox. >> there's a big monkey in the street.
