stunned neighbors say jon huntsman never even looked pregnant. >> we always thought she looked skinnywe never saw any evidence of any pregnancies. >> they found the bodies of 7 infants and they believe one was stillborn so they are now charging her with 6 counts of murder. she gave birth during a ten years period and her husband spendel of those years in prison. they are trying to determine if her husband is the father but he is not considered a suspect. >>> a busy explosion as hundreds of people were on their way to work. ment it happened in the capital. more than 70 people were killed and more than 120 others were injured. the blast ripped a 4-foot hole in the ground and destroyed more than 30 buses. >>> a search continues in morning in florida for a bear that mall add woman. >> it actually had my wife's head in his mouth. >> she spotted 5 bears and that's when one of the bears stood up knocked her down and started to mall her. somehow she got away and made it back into the house where she collapsed on the floor. the children came running when they heard her screaming. >> me and my

where jon huntsman told them to change their ways. that's how romney got the nomination.n's. i think he's got this one pretty much totally wrong. i think you look at the republican party and who do they nominate? they nominate the establishment candidate, the one with money. they nominated dole, bush, mccain, romney. will jeb bush have problems on immigration? of course he will. will he be able to give a series of speeches where he lays out the case that going forward the republican party has got to evolve on immigration if it wants to win the white house? i think he can do that. can he talk about common core standards which will also be a way people beat up on him, i think he can do that too and say if we want to compete in the 21st century, we've got to do it with schools that work and kids that learn. i think he can do all that. he's a better politician. he dominated in florida. i would say the question is not weather jeb bush can win or not. i think he can. the question is whether he's going to run. nobody knows. 50/50. >> ben spends a lot of time on wall street. i do

the republicans, it's jon huntsman not ann coulter, but the democrats are, a lot of them are full-footed a commencement address. you're having places like ohio state university where chris matthews is going to deliver the commencement address. after that was announced, they actually abandoned the general commencement committee that sets up -- it's chaired by students and staff who will determine who the speaker will be. they abandoned that and appointed chris matthews and students started saying they don't even know who he is. >> can you imagine having to sit through that? i can't even imagine. it's unbelievable. >> there's not a whole lot of thrills going up the legs with people in the audience. >> people will be running for the exit. godspeed, ohio state, i wish you luck. caleb, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, tucker. >> up next we go back to rick live at the new york auto show with a very special surprise. >> guys, the best part of the day is coming up right now. we have governor cuomo here and specialist robert lauria who is receiving a toyota rav 4. we'll be presenting this spe
