richard shelby, senator from alabama, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> steve: all right. now 20 minutes after the top of the hour. straight ahead, video that's going to make your heart stop. people trying to help save somebody need to be saved themselves. the rescuers needed a rescue. then there is a sure fire way to get a raise in this economy and we summoned the premiere expert to help. he's a self-made millionaire. that guy right there is going to help you as we roll on. >> brian: i'm in the control room. let me tell you what's happening in the world right now as we give you the quick headlines. the upon larrity of zip cars has been -- popularity of zip cars is spreading. they bought the car sharing company for $500 million. the control room is loud. zip car let's customers get in cars in advance or immediately. avis says it will use it until it can offer them for car sharing. let's come back to me for a second. naked man in california seen holding a rifle and then a samurai sword. he's been arrested after a stand-off with police. no one was hurt and there is no

the case centered on shelby county, alabama, and as also spurred new voter i.d. laws across the country. voters called the legislation something that will chip away at minority voting rights. >> i believe we must regard this setback, not as a defeat but as an historic opportunity for congress to restore, and even to strengthen modern voting protections. after all, this -- [applause] this has never been a partisan issue. every reauthorization of the voting rights act was signed into law by a republican president. >> reporter: but others say the situation on the ground now today is far different than 1965. look at these numbers. they say they're not reflective of the current condition now. that african-americans vote in someplaces at a higher rate than whites. that in some states, as georgia, mississippi, south carolina, more african-americans are registered to vote than whites. louisiana, as you can see is very close. meanwhile holder's department of justice is also reviewing whether or not there could be potential racial charges filed against george zimmerman for

to some of the problems other fed chairman and other fed nominees have had, for example, when rich shelby was the chairman on the ranking committee, that had to do with proilg unsatisfactory answers. at this point, i just don't see anything getting in the way of her confirmation. >> ip, did you see that mckenzie study? >> which mckennedy study? >> it said qe did nothing for the stock markets, but saved governments around the world $1.3 trillion in funding costs. >> i didn't see that, but i'm looking at the stock market 20% this year and -- >> check it out. it's a mckenzie study that says -- you know, mckenzie, i don't know if i believe it, but they somehow determined that it had nothing to do with the rise. but the funding costs, it was something like $1.3 trillion saved global government. .after reading that, i was thinking why not make it permanent? if you can get governments to run $1.3 trillion cheaper, then hey, let the good times roll. but -- >> swroe, this is a great question. i think actually they're going to get this question because a lot of people in the markets are asking this

agree is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation in our country's history and shelby county arguing that each should no longer be under the requirements of the act in 1965. and radically improved there when it comes to minority voters and their rights. but justice asked the attorney if we know there's a disease and the cure is working, why stop taking medillin now? >> there were no costs to what we were doing. if it wasn't a direct infringement on the sovereign states that might be an argument, but here we're in a very different situation, there's a very high cost to pay for the remedy. >> supporters of the act say there's still plenty of discrimination that needs to be cleaned up and that congress was right to review the act in 2006 with large bipartisan majority. >> what we know is that this remedy of section 5, which is designed to block not just the discrimination you see today, but the discrimination that history teachers as coming tomorrow. section 5 is the answer to that type of discrimination. >> as i said, one of the most spirited arguments i've ever seen at

the chairman of that committee, barbara mikulski is working with the ranking member, senator richard shelby of alabama. it ran into a big stumbling block when senators coburn and mccain threatened to put a hold on the bill because of all the pork in it. that drew swift condemnation this morning from senate majority leader harry reid. listen up. >> now i, just alert everyone, we have, easter recess coming a week from friday and we're not going to be able to do that. a budget has a locked in amount of time, 50 hours. plus the votathon. so everyone should be prepared to change their plans first few days. we hope it is the first few days of easter recess. we're not even on this bill. and that is such a sad thing. >> reporter: here's look at some of the pork coburn and mccain found in the bill. it provides $65 million for pacific coast salmon restoration for states including nevada. nevada salmon. it directs the department of defense to overpay on contracts by an additional 5% to contractors who are native hawaiian owned companies. it provides $154 million for military alternative energy researc

. >> this happened at camp shelby in mississippi. the soldier was part of reservist groups. they labeled the american family association, a well-respected christian ministry, as an example of a hate group. and the soldier snapped a photograph that he sent me, showing the slide show presentation that made that allegation. >> later on in your story we were reading, the reason the army had for designating that group a hate group was because they opposed gay marriage. >> that's right. and this is not the first time this has happened. back in april i had several stories, and we had reports from around the country of similar sessions where this group and the family research council were labeled hate groups, domestic hate groups. and also another briefing, and i believe this was in the air force labeled evangelical christianity and catholicism as examples of religious extremism. there is something going on here. the pentagon, we tried to talk to them. they told us we needed to talk to the army. at that point the army, it's been almost 24 hours and we still haven't heard back from t

listen to this remarkable statement from senator richard shelby on "fox and friends" a few short moments ago. >> i think that the president missed a great opportunity, one of leadership. he is just been reelected. he has four years left and this will be part of his legacy, the failure to step up and do the big thing when he could. he could have brought leadership to the table. he didn't. now he is wanting to talk about cutting spending? it is kind of a joke. >> reporter: some see this looming battle two months down the road for a third round of a prizefight. first round many say republicans won. that was 2000 debt sequester creation. second round many say the white house won that crafted last night. the third round we'll see. bill: doug, thank you for that. we'll be back in touch next hour. arthel. arthel: the bill may have passed but 167 representatives voted against it, that includes democrats and republicans. tennessee republican marsha blackburn was one of the lawmakers who voted against the bill and she will be here to explain why. that is coming up next hour. bill: we'll look forwa

>> this here is the shelby mustang gt 500. this is the ultimate mustang. 662-horsepower super charged v 8 engine. that is way beyond what they had in the 60's. >> i thought with the gasoline prices so high, why are these selling? >> well, because people like to live their boyhood dreams. they like to capture a little magic. this year is is a certified time capsule. >> jeff, i have to tell you my first car was a 66 mustang. straight six engine and i rebuilt the engine. now i look inside here. i couldn't change the oil or anything in a car like this now. >> these cars are a lot more complicated. fewer people working on them themselves. performance that they deliver. >> is this candy apple red? >> this is ego stoking red. [ laughter ] stripes are there to make it clear. 0 to it 60 in 4 seconds how fast will it go. >> faster than you can say sorry, officer. >> expensive car less expensive version of this that you can still get the muscle car feel. >> that's the exciting feel. this is a $66,000 car. for about a third of the price,

ray shelby was taking care of giggles and witnessed the incident. he joins us live from chicago. good morning to you. >> good morning. >>steve: why did you have this white-tailed deer at the shelter? apparently you do need to have permits. otherwise it's illegal to keep him. >> a family from illinois brought the deer up because they were -- the deer had been in their backyard for like three days, and they didn't see the mother, so they knew we were there. the shelter is on the border of illinois and wisconsin. so they brought the deer up and asked us if we could find a place for it. so the owner agreed to, which she did, the following day she immediately started calling wildlife preserves in illinois. it took quite some time. she had a hard time getting hold of them at first, but then she finally got a hold of one in champaign, illinois. >>tucker: i want to make sure i understand how this works. 13 members of the swat team showed wup guns. did you all resist at all? is there any reason they sent 13 armed men to kill a deer? >> well, originally there was like nine actual d.n.r. ag

boston, the recent mailings and suspicious package delivered a short time ago to alabama senator richard shelby's office. we are told everybody is okay. but when you have these incidents and heightened security these are the things that happened a short time ago. the senate republican leader had this to say on the senate floor. >> this morning i'd like to recognize the postal and law enforcement officials for their excellent work in detecting and preventing this threat before it even reached the capitol. they proved that the proactive measures we put in place do in fact work. >> reporter: he's making reference to suspicious letters that were sent to capitol hill after the 9/11 attacks and these letters have been kept away from the people that they were addressed to, jenna. heather: mike emanuel live on capitol hill. thank you. jon: let's talk now with texas congressman michael mccaul, he is chairman of the homeland security committee and has received several briefings on what happened in the boston marathon attacks. these have been informal briefings as we understand it, congressman, and certainl

shelby county, alabama, come here to say, listen a lot has changed in 50 years. we cleaned up our act and essentially we shouldn't be forced to live under these conditions where we're treated differently than other parts of the country. here is a bit from their brief and argument. they say sections 5 and 4-b of the voting rights act accomplished their and encroachment on 10th amendment rights and constitutional principle of equal sovereignty is no longer appropriate. they're saying we remedied these things. it is time to be free of the voting rights act. from the crowd, there is a lot of interest. it is a hotly debated contest, martha. martha: indeed it is. it is a hugely controversial issue. there are those who say the voting rights act still very necessary in the places that they live. >> reporter: absolutely. they say the covered jurisdictions have a long history. there is bailout condition. if you prove you haven't had problems for ten years or reports of discrimination or problems from minority voters you can bail out. the bailout option is there. you should

shelby harris is director of behavioral sleep medicine here in the new york city area. joins us live. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> steve: people have nightmares for a variety of reasons. we're not here to analyze the dreams. we're here to fix them, right? >> right. some people find analyzing them might help them figure out what's going on in their lives. but if it's creating constant problems for you, there are ways to help. >> steve: and this is the way, it's called irt, imry rehearsal therapy. what does that mean? >> one way. there are different things that help. but irt is extremely effective. so basically if you think about nightmares and dreams, it's imagery in your head. if you close your eyes, you're picturing something. so we teach people to imagine and picture things during the day and then to create new story lines and then really picture the new story line. >> steve: let's say that i had this nightmare and you walk me through the three steps and we'll see how you would fix it. i looked up one of the most common nightmares people have is th
