of course, it's always meaningful to also say, thank you for your service, but we should or or some think about our vets not injure on veterans day or memorial day but every day. thank you for being part of "the real story." here's shep. >> it's 3:00 on the east coast. noon on the west coast. i'm "shepard smith reporting." here's what ising he. dr. ben carson calling for trackdown on insurance fraud but not when it comes to a friend, buddy oh hem him rake in millions of dollars. now his campaign responded. then what do you call a guy who invades another country, props up a mass murdering dictator and lies. donald trump says don't call vladimir putin a gangster and calling united states rival for it. 100 women suing the makers of theirs birth control pill claiming they got pregnant but a the company put the pills in the wrong place. how do you prove the mistake
12:01 pm
caused the pregnancy when no contraceptive is 100%. a pair of diamonds worth over $76 million 'would you them to a seven-year-old? the guy who just bought them did. wait until you hear who he ills. >> dr. ben carson says fellow doctors who commit insurance fraud should spend at least a decade in prison. but when his own friend lied to insurance companies and scammed tens of thousands of dollars, dr. carson help his buddy avoid serving a single day behind bars. the finding of an "associated press" investigation. i found that dr. carson held his friend to a different standards and makes millions of dollars in ties to that convicted felon to this day. the ap says the dentist pleaded guilty to insurance brought to
12:02 pm
in taught. at the sentencing hearing dr. carson was a character witness who pressed the judge go easy saying he and the dentist were friends because, quote, we discovered we were so much alike and shared the same values and principles that govern our lies. the 'tis coot gott community service and house arrest very different from the position carson took in 2013, then he said people convicted of healthcare fraud should go to prison and lose everything they own. the campaign paperwork shows that dr. carson and his wife rake in as much as $2 million per year through investments in that very dentist's real company. the ap reportses that carson's campaign spokesman did not answer specific questions and would say only the two men are best friends. so far nothing from carson's top rival in the polls, donald trump. instead, he is in a back and forth with marco rubio. the issue there, whether it's okay to call the russian president vladimir putin a gangster. donald trump calling out rubio for using that word.
12:03 pm
again, saying that he and putin would be friends. >> well issue don't think it's a good thing to say because let's assume that one of us get up there we have that statement to live by. it's a big obstacle. >> vladimir putin knows he is a gangster. smiles when he was asked and said, how can he be a gangster in the is from the kgb. >> despite the dustup, donald trump cold o'reilly that rubio is a nice guy. before rubio attacked trump's promise to -- see if trump calls rubio a nice guy when he holds his next rally tonight. campaign carl cameron is covering the race and is live in concord, new hampshire. immigration is a big topic for the candidates it would appear report it is indeed so. ted cruz, who put immigration as one of the distinction issues
12:04 pm
during the last debate between himself and the rest of the field, arguing he is the only candidate who has been against amnesty in the debate, on the debate stage and in the republican bee date. today he filed for his candidacy in new hampshire and went after mark core rube, you're john kashich, jeb bush, saying that in one way or another they're support for comprehensive immigration reform, that many have called amnesty for the 11 to 12 millions immigrants undocumented in the country now. and that's a huge issue in the conservative party. but apart from all there there was a real example today. rick santorum and lindsey graham filing for the new hampshire ballot, and make the point that the republican and democratic parties of the country are trying to do away with the early voting states of iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina, because the big interests in washington think it would be better for them to have a
12:05 pm
nationalized race, based upon advertising and a message managed out of the national parties. this was ted cruz's version of that. watch. >> let me say as you were describing the history of new hampshire's first in the nation, i think it is a tremendous -- some folks in washington that are talking about trying to end new hampshire's first in the nation status. complete lunacy. >> reporter: at one point lindsey graham said he has never been more fearful for the first in the nation state. he is from south carolina, the first in the south southern primary, and basically acknowledged his open party has been making moves to try to squeeze them out of the process. the concern in both parties being that the early voting state tendses to make the republican naomi nominee very conservative and the democratic knock every liberal and the electorate complaints that it don't have a moderate. >> what your hearing about the
12:06 pm
"associated press" story on dr. carson? >> reporter: ben carson supporters are just not going to believe stories from the obama. -- from the "associated press." the media is always questioned. they're not going to weaken with ben carson. you got remember, near new hampshire and across the country carson russ support is 23%, which means roughly 77% of republicans are looking somewhere else. so there may be some eyebrows raised but personal attacks on the past, particularly personal associations, because a lot of them have friends, family, who have had some rough times, run-ins with the law. 0 not uncommon when people are prominent and well known that you sometimes find the people around you do bad things. so, ben carson's people aren't buying it. you can bet, sooner or later his rivals will get around to making an issue of it.
12:07 pm
>> carl cameron, live for us in new hampshire, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> let's down now to "the wall street journal" and glen hall. the republicans think some people need to get out. is anybody getting out? >> we're not seeing a lot of that yet. to be fair, it's early in the cycle. typically in a presidential cycle, january is a cutoff point, then march after super tuesday and some hanging on until june. right now they're trying to figure out which way is the party going to lean? >> i'm more curious where the money is going, like the koch money. >> you're starting to see movement. after each big debate you see those who perform well are pulling in little more additional funds. we hear that on the ground. the others, that's where the cutoff point comes in, they start to run out of funds. >> are policy issues get anything notice? i know we are on immigration because that's a divider. but this sometimes almost
12:08 pm
nonsensical business from dr. carson on foreign policy, the specifics thereof, sentences that came together as something other than thought. i just wondered if that is having an impact or just -- >> i think we're starting to see it. after the debate we did an instant survey and saw that it was donald trump and marco rubio at the top. carson start toward fall. that may reflect people focusing on substance rather than the style. >> one thing that sometimes you don't grasp in the beginning is when something they say simply can't be, like getting out -- what do they -- deportation patrol to go out and get rid of 11 million people. that is obviously no matter what anyone says not going to happen. you won when the electorate well realize that. >> the scrutiny of the ideas is coming in full fort and at the spottedlight is on them ump trump came out and saying i will have a deportation. the question is, how re going to deport all these people? he is trying to provide an
12:09 pm
answer. whether it stands -- right now it's more on the idea than the execution. >> we want them out. doesn't matter how. just want them out. >> speaking to the base. >> sure. speaking to the base now hurts you later. >> this is the conundrum and explains why so many candidates are in there because you have different factions, outsiders with strong idea, like trump and cruz, and the moderates in the middle and rand paul and others clinging because their considerative ideology is striking a cord, too. >> i wonder how jeb is going to go after rubio. >> starting to see that. it's a dangerous game to play. he can hurt himself by attacking too strongly, but he is not going to win if he doesn't gain some points here. he has been in the mid tool long jinx when you sit in the same church, the same pews and the same friends in south florida, has to be tricky. >> it's about winning, and i
12:10 pm
think that you're going to have to see them pull out the stops. when you're behind, you fight hearder. >> in due time. glenn hall, good to talk to you. >> thank you. >> ed ins say they couth one of the people who posted the american troops -- who pested american troops' home addresses and called for this congratulations. -- for their executions. the list had pictures, ranks, home addresses, everything you need. terrorist calling for members to track down the different people and kill the troops wherever they find them. the fbi now reports it busted a 25-year-old in akron, ohio, for spreading those isis posts line. the suspect's name, terrence mcneill, a federal case. so they do not give his mug shot or vary many details for that matter. the islamic state claimed responsibility for suicide bombings that killed dozens of

12:15 pm
city of sinjar. officials say american boots are on the ground, working with the kurds, behind the front lines, as u.s. airplanes, jets, pummel the fighters from the air. pentagon official says the mission's main objective is to cut off a key supply line for terrorists. if they want to make this larger operation work they have to cut the road in half. this is the larger area, iraq and syria. this is isis, islamic state in syria, the larger area, the areas in red isis is said to control. that square in red is the area we're talking about today. so bring that area full string and show you the whole thing. this is that highway. isis, if they want to continue to be in charge up here, they have to have a way to get
12:16 pm
supplies back and forth, and this highway is key. sinjar in the north, along the highway that isis uses to transport supplies and fighters between mosul, over here, and raqqa, over here, across the border in syria. now, kurdish officials have i they've already seized part of the highway. the area in green here. cutting off the part of that supply line, and that's helped split the islamic state's self-declared caliphate in two, but that has to home. sinjar is where isis last year surrounded thousands of yazidis on the mountaintop. the ancient religion. they had all gone there together, escaping and were afraid they would die, and in the end many of the men, slaughtered and they took the girls and the women as sex slaves, according to every report we got out of there the crisis led to the first american airstrikes against the islamic state. in other words, this where is the u.s. battle against isis began in this very area, and this where is they are today.

jeff mayson is a white house correspondent for reuters. any of this activity today oversold? is this the essence of what they're doing? >> i think that's absolutely the essence of what they're doing, yes, and also it's very significant for the reasons you already articulated. there's a symbolism to it, symbolic aspect they're going back and trying to take over a town or city that led the u.s. -- spurred the u.s. to get involved in the military air campaigns against isis. and also because of those yazidi minority groups that were just pummeled and went up on mt. sinjar, and thousands of them were murdered. others enslaved and many of them were starved on the mountaintop until they were rescued. >> isis is so outnumbered here, as much as ten to one, we're led to believe. how they maintain so much control? >> they have held on to that city for a long time, and how
12:18 pm
they've done it is sort of a big question for how the success they have had in general. through brutality, the leadership they have shown amongst their people and amongst the followers they have managed to obtain. now, that sort of highlights the fact of how significant it would be to get in there and take the town away. they are outnumbered but u.s. officials expect the fight to be hard. it could take two to four days to complete control of sinjar and take up to a week to clear the entire area. >> our leaders admit that the united states has, quote, ground forces, unquote in there. what kind of numbers and who are these people? >> not high numbers. these are advisers with the white house's said for some time are on the ground in iran and walk, helping -- and iraq, helping with these lines. they're in the back, advising on the attacks and also coming up
12:19 pm
witch advice where and how to conduct the military airstrikes, and the u.s. has conducted roughly 30 airstrikes over the last two day, i'm told bay senior administration official, and you can expect if they battle continues to rage on for two or four days, the airstrikes will coin. >> one danger of having ground forces in there is that isis will get one or two of them and make a snuff video. is it your reporting they're staying well behind the lines and the possibility is minimal? >> yes. it is definitely my reporting they're staying well behind the lines and that's the commitment the united states made from the beginning when it sent in these advisers to help with these operations. obviously you can't ever take away that risk completely, but that is certainly something they're aware of and not something this white house or this administration wants to see happen. >> jeff mason at the white house correspondent for reuters. appreciate you and your work. >> my pleasure. >> we just gotten breaking news and a jury has just found the accused mobster from the

they want the company to pay. more than 113 women who say mispackage birth control pills caused them to get pregnant are and suing the pharmaceutical company. the women from 28 different states are seeking millions and millions of dollars in damages, including the cost of delivering, raising, and
12:35 pm
educating their children until the age of 18. back in 2011, the feds issued a re-call after a woman in kansas city returned her birth control to her pharmacist when she discovered that the order of pills was flipped. the placebos were used nor wrong days. the lawsuit claims the pills were packaged in the wrong order show to women took the peninsula -- placebos when they could have been firstle. the representatives for the company says they do not comment on ongoing litigation but added there was only one confirmed case of mispackage irbirth control pills. one lawyer says a couple of of his clients were 17 years old when they got pregnant. one woman was expecting twins, and the u.s. service member had to give her child up for adoption because she was getting deployed overseas. let's bring in an attorney who handles medical malpractice suits. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> you put the pills in the
12:36 pm
wrong places. now we want you to pay for our children for their rest of their life. can this fly? >> well, first of all, depends on the state in which the plaintiff is located, because the damages are limited in certain states. but let talk about what you need to order to succeed in a lawsuit you have to prove by a preponderance preponderance of the evidence that the injury was the direct and proximate cause of the defendant's conduct. they have to show but for this mistake in packaging they would not have gotten pregnant and birth control pills are only between 92% and 99% effective. so of the 12 million women who take birth control in the united states, up weird 900,000 of them are going to get pregnant anyway even if the passaging is perfect. so you have show to you're not one of these women that this would have affected in damages there are limitations on the type of damages you can get as a plaintiff in this type of case,
12:37 pm
and only a few states, only three states actually allow you to get the cost of child rear through the age of majority, and then four states allow you to get the cost of child rearing through the age of majority mine with what they determine to be the benefit of having a child. >> and there a are a lot of specific beside i birth control pill if you don't follow them the company just gets its way, right? what are they? >> absolutely. so, with birth control principles anyway have to be taken every single day. every time you miss a pill or too late in a day or different time than you normally take your pill, you're reducing the effectiveness. so goes from 92% to 99% down more. so it opens up the gap even more, you're possibly one of the women that as a result of your open doing you got pregnant without having the mistake in the packaging. >> sounds like the judge is saying, forget bat it. >> a tough one. >> i'm guessing the lawyers will
12:38 pm
do well out of this. >> they usually do right? that's the one person that wins in all litigation. presumably the plaintiffs' lawyers are probably going to get a cut of whatever they recover. >> that would be my guess. >> then it's a waiting game. the defense lawyers will do got. >> they always do. nice to see you, thank you. >> nice to see you. thanks so much. >> federal aviation officials say that they're investigating two instances of lasers pointing at choppers here in the new york city area. this video is from wnbc television, the nbc flagship owned and operated station here in new york city. chopper 4 was headed to downtown brooklyn to cover the arrest of an alleged greyhound bus theft. that's another interesting story. this guy steals everything. anyway, the chopper was above and they shined a green laser up at the thing, and nypd chopper came to investigate when it was
12:39 pm
hit be the same thing. the cops later took custody and arrest one of them. pointing a laser a plane or flying thing is a federal crime and punishable by prison time and fines. rick is here. we have been reporting on this for years. >> there were more than 20 aircraft struck with lasers yesterday alone in the u.s., more than 5300 this year, which is a sharp increase from 2014. while the guy with the lacers meek think it's funny, pilots and the federal aviation administration a it's not joke. the pilots sigh a green laser beam. the pilot notified the tower and stuck around until cops arrived they tracked two suspects to a gnash base independent and unwas arrested -- basement and one was arrested. >> see wrote he is? don't look at it. >> meanwhile in dallas last night, a southwest airlines plane, a virgin america plain
