>> reporter: yeah. i mean, this is the first time we've heard rupert murdoch himself admit in his words that there was a cover-up. the news corp line to start with was that this was the work of one rogue reporter at one newspaper, the "news of the world" that famously got shut down last year. then the scandal has spread and spread and spread. now for the first time, he's admitted that he was basically misinformed and shielded from what was going on but did agree with the lawyer questioning him, robert jay, that there had been a cover-up at that newspaper. >> there's no question in my mind that maybe even the editor but certainly beyond that, someone took charge of a cover-up which we were victim to and i regret. >> he regrets, but it's something that is engulfing his media empire world wide. there are going to be big questions for him to answer in the u.s. about this, about, well, if there was a cover-up, why didn't he know about it. was he part of it? when did he feigned out and why didn't he tell shareholders of news corp in new york? and also some insight into the moment that he found out that this phone-hacking story was going stratospheric, the day that we got news that a murdered british schoolgirl's voice mail had been hacked into by some of his journalists. he gave a very graphic account of what it was like to get that news and how he reacted. >> you could feel the blast coming in the window, and as i would say simply i panicked, but i'm glad i did. >> well, it's obvious that closing it was a disaster. >> i'm sorry i didn't close it years before i put it in. >> so they are admitting that he wished he had shut down "the news of the world" earlier than he did. of course, it was shut down in disgrace last year, you'll the way through really rupert murdoch trying to say, look, they have gone to extraordinary lengths to try to get to the bottom of this. they said 300 million e-mails they have looked at, of which 2 million have been forwarded for further investigation by the police. this isn't over yet. he's got a lot of questions still to answer about. exactly how this cover-up occurred, and as the guy at the top of the organization some responsibility surely for ultimately, as he said, the buck stops with him. he put a lot of these people in their post and, therefore, his critics will say he must share some responsibility for that cover-up. >> dan rivers out of london. dan, thanks. grave, immoral sinner. that's what an indiana teacher says she was called after going through ivf. now emily hertz is suing for discrimination. she joins me live next. mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. well, in vitro fertilization is a godsend for millions of infertile couples who long to have children, but the catholic church says it's a sin, so when higher-ups in the diocese in ft. wayne, indiana learned that a teacher at st. paul vincent catholic school was undergoing ivf treatments they fired her and made no apologies about it. quote, the diocese has clear policies requiring that teachers in its schools must have a knowledge of and respect for the catholic faith and abide by the tenets of the catholic church. the teacher then accused the school and diocese of violating both the civil rights act and the americans with disabilities act, the equal opportunity employment commission agreed. still, the church sun moved calling the core issue as a challenge to the diocese's right as a religious employer to make religious-based decisions consistent with the standards on an impartial basis. meet the teacher, emily hertz who joins me from new york with her attorney kathleen delaney. were you ever reprimanded for any performance issues? >> never, not once. i was always given remarks by my parents and principals and other teachers. i was told that my children performed very well so everything seemed to be going great for as long as i was there. >> so did anyone ever tell you that ivf could get you fired? >> no, absolutely not. about two years when -- two years ago when we started, there was no warning. there was nothing about fertility treatments being an issue. >> and did you ever try to hide it from anybody, not talk about it? >> no. i was very honest with my principal from the get-go, so i was -- i was never trying to lie about it or anything like that. >> was your principal supportive? >> yes, she was. for the first two years she never warned me about it. she never said there was a possibility that you could lose your job. so that's why this was all so shocking that this was happening. >> we're talking about a catholic school and did she ever say, hey, let's pray about it and i'll keep new my prayers and let's stay focused on this. >> absolutely. the first time she was made aware that my husband and i had to go through fertility treatment she said you are in my prayers so that's -- that to me was support. >> so i -- i see that you started fertility in 2008, and you weren't fired until 2011, so tell me what happened. how did this blow up? >> honestly i'm not sure. it was shocking because one day i got an e-mail saying that i needed to meet with the monsignor at st. vincent, and he told me that basically my job was at risk out of the blue and i said, well, you know, my principal has been knowing about this for two years. i didn't think i was doing anything wrong, and i had never had any complaints about, you know, me as a teacher so i was shocked and then it just kind of snowballed from there. so it's been very traumatic. >> so who had the issue with the fact that you were going through ivf? >> well, we're going to have to explore that issue, kyra, through the discovery process, and we'll be able to prove that when the time comes. >> so -- and i'll talk more with you, kathleen, of course, about some of the details but just trying to get a feel from emily on how this all unfolded. emily, it seems like you had a lot of support, that people were aware of what you were going through. the principal, as you say was praying for you. how has this impacted your family in. >> oh, my family is devastated. we are all emotionally -- it's been a very rough year. my entire family, my parents, it's just been a very hard thing to come to grips to because i did love my job so much and did love teaching so much, you know. right after college i was so excited to get a job there, and, you know, to have that stripped away from me, but the outpour of support has been wonderful. >> so kathleen, does the diocese insurance policy cover these treatments, cover fertility treatments? >> our understanding, based upon the information that we now have, is that the diocese health plan covered some of the treatments, including office visits and anesthesia services. >> okay. so emily, as far as you knew, you were going through this and the insurance that you have through the diocese was helping you pay for these treatments. >> absolutely. >> the bills were getting paid? >> some of the bills were getting paid, absolutely. >> okay. so then kathleen, if i -- in the diocesor to use the diocese's own words, the quote here is that your client was fired for improprieties related to church teachings or law. so let me ask you this. what about the teachers who use contraception, teachers that are divorced, teachers that lived -- live with partners that are unmarried? >> that's a very good point, kyra, and in proving discrimination claims the evidence that's relevant includes how similarly situated people who are not in the same gender category are treated, so if male teachers are using contraception and participating in fertility treatment with their spouses and not being terminated for it, then that is one way that we can prove gender discrimination, for example. >> kathleen, do you know if that's happening? >> kyra, i'm not in a position to tell you names and dates on that, but if you read the research in the news media about the briprevalence of contracept use within the catholic community, i think that's a safe assumption to make. >> what do you think is happening here? do you think someone had a grudge against your client and making a big deal when apparently everything was okay from 2008 to 2011 if indeed the principal knew she was going through the treatment, the bills were getting paid for things covered by the insurance policy? >> well, we're not going to speculate on the motives of the diocese of ft. wayne. i think it's for them to address those questions when the time comes rather than us. >> understood. emily, i know this may be a bit of a personal question, but did the ivf work for you? >> honestly, no, it has not. >> and i know that must be tremendously hard to deal with as well. do you want to do it again? do you want to keep trying? >> right now i don't feel comfortable talking about that r, but -- >> it's a really tough topic, kyra, and that's really between emily and her husband and her doctor. >> understandable. how about returning to the classroom, emily? >> one day i would love to be in front of children again, but, i mean, this has been such a traumatic year that right now i need to focus on getting through it. >> we will definitely follow the case. emily and kathleen, thanks so much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you for your interest, kyra. >> you bet. straight ahead, traveling with pets is much more common new addais, but finding pet friendly destinations, well, that can be a pretty big challenge. look no further. we do have a solution next.

you're looking to book a pet friendly trip search for pet friendly hotels or rentals at bringfido.com. out of all the websites this is the most reliable. we booked a condo instead of a hotel for a low

easy to enjoy a weekend away as a family. that's hilton head, south carolina. i'm jamie maglietta, cnn. >> and again the website, jamie searched for that was bringfido.com. well, it's one of the capital's most infamous murder mysteries. a washington socialite shot in brought daylight. the victim, a long-time rumored mistress of president john f. kennedy. next, a man who says he believes he knows who killed her. sex, murder and alleged cover-up, all the makings of the countless conspiracy theories that are out there about the assassination of president john f. kennedy. now, the murder of this woman. kennedy's widely rumored mystery mary meyer, her execution-style murder has been called one of washington's enduring mysteries. the latest mystery now detailed in this explosive new book called "mary's mosaic." the book claims the cia has both kennedy and myer's blood on hand saying she knew too much, too close to kennedy's assassination and the book claims the cia masterminded her assassination. the author of the book joining me along with presidential historian thomas wayland. peter, critics here say this book is absolute fiction, but then there's people on the other side, fascinated by the subject like oliver stone who says that this book moves us closer to, quote, a reckoning. so tell me about your personal dies with mary meyer and the cia. >> i knew mary personally, one of the best friends before her child before he was accidentally killed by an auto and i did not know of mary's murder until i came home for thanksgiving vacation in 1964. her murder had taken place a month earlier on october 12th, 1964, and so i learned that she had been murdered and it was deeply troubling to me, as i detail in the book, and it has sort of haunted me for a great deal of my life. it wasn't until 1976 that we all learned through an explosive article in "the national enquirer" that mary and president kennedy had had a fairly involved intimate affair and in fact i maintain mary meyer was likely the last true love of president kennedy's life. >> okay. let me stop you right there. i mean, you're talking about "the national enquirer" and how can you -- you're talking about "the national enquirer" here. that's a totally different -- that's a tabloid, so now you're coming forward and saying the cia masterminded this murder. tell me where you get your facts, your proofs, your documents, your conversations, you know. tell me what you got here that should make us believe in this, peter. >> well, in 19 -- in the early 1990s, an author by the name of leo demoore, who is no longer with us and i believe was suspiciously led into suicide, he had uncovered much of the research that is used in my book, and i became friends with him, and after his death, i guess it was about 2003, i found his primary research assistant who had saved all his research which i procured, and then i went to his family and asked them for permission to make use of this research in my book, and it's really author demoore when i credit with having done the real spade work on mary meyer's relationship with president kennedy and her death. >> let me -- hold on a second, peter. let me get thomas to weigh in because we've got a couple more minutes. you're the historian here. weigh in on this. what do you think of the allegations that peter makes in this book, and do i want to add quickly, let me get it in, that we did reach out to the cia. this is the statement that we got. allegations that the cia had anything to do with miss meyer's death are baseless. there is simply no evidence to support this conspiracy theory. as a historian, thomas, please weigh in. >> i think it's interesting speculation, but it's just that, speculation, and i looked at the book, and i had a problem with the sourcing. it's based on a lot of interviews, and as the author suggests leo demoore's research, but there's no smoking gun hard evidence to link the dots here, and i also have a problem here. in the book it makes a linkage to president kennedy's assassination is as to the motivation, and it seems to suggest that mary meyer helped steer president kennedy to a more dovish stance towards the cold war, towards the soviet union, and as an historian i just can't buy that. president kennedy was one of the staunchest cold warriors we had in the presidency. during his tenure he starts off with, for example, 63 icbms and ends with 423. he launched the greatest arms race in the world's history, and he also is responsible for ordering the coup that resulted in the assassination of president diem of south vietnam just a few weeks before his own assassination, and the book also makes the contention here, that one of the reasons president kennedy was assassinated was because he was going to disengage the united states from vietnam, and frankly the proof isn't there. >> thomas whalen, peter janney, we have to leave it there. appreciate your time. >> thank you,

the edwards' case asking him whether he lied about this, whether he made up that story. all in an attempt to discredit him. at the end of the day, however, the question will be whether the center of

tearful plea from the parents of a missing arizona girl. >> we are here today to plea for a safe return of our baby girl isabel. >> we're looking for you isa, we love you, and we miss you so much, and we will never give up. we will never give up looking for you. >> it is heartbreaking. isabel mercedes celis disappeared from her room last weekend. her parents say they woke up saturday morning to find the 6-year-old wasn't in the house. police have been looking for her. so far they have not turned up anything. they're scaling back the search now. they're not treating it as a missing child. i want to bring in marc klaas. his own child, polly, was abducted and killed almost two decades ago. he's joining us via skype from college station, texas. first of all, it is good to see you. i'm glad you're here with us. when you hear about this situation with isabel, it must break your heart. >> well, it does break my heart because so many times over the years i have seen this exact same situation play out on the news. you'll see a parent pleading for their daughter's safe return, not understanding that there are no real terms about this, that the term was that the child is the thing that was wanted in the first place. >> can you explain this, marc, because we know that your own daughter was taken from the slumber party at your wife's home, and this looks like a case where perhaps their daughter was taken from the home. how does something like that happen when you have someone who is able to actually get into your own house? >> well, this is such a high-risk situation, and i think it's a huge public safety issue when we can't feel safe in the sanctity of our own homes, and that's why it's incumbent on the local authorities not to scale back this investigation, but to push forward and keep increasing on the task force until they get to the bottom of it. i don't for one minute believe this was a staged situation. i think somebody came in and took this little girl. >> the fact that they have scaled back on this investigation -- on the search here, what does that say to you, marc, about what they suspect? what does this mean? >> i don't really know what it means. it almost sounds like they're trying to point fingers at the parents, but i have to remind people that even in polly's case where they had witnesses, for the first two weeks the authorities were convinced polly had run away and that her girlfriends were covering up for her. and i think maybe they try to overanalyze these things. this looks like a situation where somebody broke into this bedroom and took this little girl, and i think that needs to be the high priority here is investigating that possible scenario as, of course, they do look at the other possibilities. >> marc, having been through this situation yourself, what do you think isabel's parents should do at this point? you must understand what it is that they are going through. >> sure. i know that her mother said that they don't want to distract from her disappearance by appearing in front of cameras, but i think they need to do that. i think that they need to sit and talk to the police whenever they want. they need to be completely cooperative. they have to go and do absolutely every interview that is asked of them, and i know that can be incredibly difficult. it was incredibly difficult for me. but nobody can paint as good a portrait of this little girl as the parents and as long as the public is fully invested in her safe return, it's going to be more and more difficult for law enforcement to pull back resources which is exactly what law enforcement seems to want to do right now. >> and, marc, you have dedicated your life essentially to helping these kinds of situations, these families looking for missing kids and the klaas kids foundation. what is the most important thing right now? >> well, the most important thing is not to give up hope. i mean, the parents have to stay invested in the fact that she's going to come home alive, and i think that that is inherently what's going to happen. but people have to understand that something terrible has happened. that somebody really bad is out there committing crimes against little children and breaking into people's homes to do it. there's a frenzy about that and we can't allow that to continue. we have to feel safe in our homes, and the only way that can occur is if we bring in the monster that committed whatever crime they committed against this young girl. >> really appreciate your type and perspective and again your own personal story. thank you, marc. here is a run down on some of the stories we are covering. first the diamond ring on your finger could have cost someone their life in west africa. we're going to tell you why. and then young people, they loved him in 2008. >> good to see you. how are you doing? good to see you. absolutely. glad to be here. >> the 20-somethings are they going to love him again in

joining us live. explain to us, if you will, because this is a very significant development. the fact that this leader is being held accountable for these kinds of crimes. >> the first time that is a leader has actually gone to trial in this sort of case since the nuremberg trials. it's a historic moment as well. the u.s. has a link with liberia, of course. it was founded in 1822 by freed u.s. slaves. the u.s. also was one of the first when the war was going on in sierra leone, bill clinton issued an executive order in 2001 to ban the export of diamonds from sierra leone. they were called blood diamonds. remember the movie? >> sure. >> and so the u.n. followed that up with sanctions. why? because charles taylor was using the diamonds that were being mined illegally in sierra leone, selling them internationally to fund the rebel group that was at the front line of the civil war that killed so many people. this was a brutal butchering civil war. people had their arms cut off, hands cut off. the bad guys would go around, do you want long sleeves or short sleeves. short leaves -- sleeves meant they cut your arm off at the elbow. >> what can americans take away from this?

>> this morning when the verdict came down, my phone started ringing like crazy right away, and, you know, a lot of excitement. you know, guilty, guilty, guilty, that's what people were saying. then i started getting text messages. you should see the sun, it's shining so bright. there's a rainbow around the town. liberian people were feeling this was a sign from god. i get to my daughter's facebook and there was a picture of the sun with this rainbow. this is actually on my daughter's blog. it was sent to her from an american in liberia, matt jones, so matt said we could use this picture. thank you, matt. but the thing is liberians love charles taylor, many still do. this is what people -- it seems crazy -- >> it does seem crazy. >> yeah, but he has so much support still. he's loved and hated in liberia today because people think, you know, this man was -- he won an election. he was already a warlord when he won the presidential election, and the slogan was he killed my mom, he killed my pa, but i will still vote for you. people are thinking how can you vote for somebody like this?

yes. i would be happy. >> we did not chop up people's arms in our war. liberians are not wicked enough to chop up people's arms. so we expect that our war crimes court, the court of liberia, will come to try people from sierra leone. >> explain what we're hearing from folks there. >> person you just heard her talking about the hacking of the limbs, that's what many people remember about charles taylor and his rebels. they would in sierra leone where he's been convicted today of atrocities, he was known for -- the rebels were known, not himself, but the rebels were known to have asked people, women, children, all, you want short sleeve or long sleeve, meaning we cut off your arm here for long sleeve, up here for short sleeve and people had to say. children, babies, women, men, all of these people were, you know, so many sierra leonians were subjects to this sort of atrocity. >> i can see the emotion in your eyes as you describe it. and your daughter is back in liberia now. how has it changed? >> you know, moo i daughtmy dau blogged today. she said all hail liberia heal. she talked about when the war ended my father immediately sent all of us back to liberia. he wanted us to know this country. one year after the war ended we were back there in liberia. i think there's so much hope now that i saw through my daughter's eyes, but suzanne, i want to say one thing about this -- the hero of this who i feel nobody -- doesn't get recognition is george w. bush. he was the one who ordered charles taylor out of liberia. nobody really talks about the fact that george w. bush and america played such a big role in bringing peace to liberia. i don't say that because i'm bush. we're not related. this man -- >> brenda bush. >> yeah. we have the same name but no -- he's not a distant cousin, but i think george w. bush is probably sitting somewhere in texas today smiling because, look, this day couldn't have happened had he not said, look, i have got some u.s. troops ready to move you out if you don't get out of the country. so, you know, and now, of course, you know i have been back. my daughter is there. >> it is amazing to see. when you went back and you were back there just a couple weeks ago, what did you see? what can we take away from where you were and what you actually experienced as a part of that country? >> i think what i saw this time is that liberians are ready to move ahead. they're ready to -- they're embracing life again. they expect good things. they expect -- you know, they're putting the war behind and liberians are looking forward to the future and very optimistic. so many liberians are optimistic and many liberian americans, the young people like my daughter moving back. i met so many young people my age who have moved back to liberia. they see hope, they see a future there, and they're there ready to help rebuild this country. so this is another step in that direction. >> and, brenda, tell me a little bit about the children because when you came back and you put together just a beautiful very telling, very moving piece about what you actually saw there. the faces of the children and how that compared to when you had to flee the country. >> yeah. in liberia and in sierra leone there were child soldiers, children were forced to fight in the wars. they were taught to kill. they were made to kill. they witnessed family members being killed. we had child soldiers in that war. it was the most horrible part about our history, i think, is the fact that our children were forced to commit horrific acts, real atrocities. and in liberia i turned a corner and saw children dancing, and that day i realized myself, my husband, we realized that liberia had turned a corner. i turned a corner. i realized my country had turned a corner, and this was a very moving moment for me because i saw liberian children had their childhoods back, and i don't think i'll ever forget that. >> and i can just see the passion in your eyes, brenda. i mean, you're on the verge of tears. it's just wonderful. >> wonderful. >> i'm so glad you're here and part of our team. >> thank you for having me on to tell this story. liberians want the good news out. >> and it is good news. >> it is, it is. >> thank you, brenda. check out the latest issue of "rolling stone." president obama is on the cover. it's one way to get the young vote. find out how mitt romney is doing it. restore strength for up to 90% less breakage in three washes. for strong, healthy hair with life, new aveeno nourish+ strengthen. but not how we get there. because in this business, there are no straight lines. only the twists and turns of an unpredictable industry. so the eighty-thousand employees at delta... must anticipate the unexpected. and never let the rules overrule common sense. this is how we tame the unwieldiness of air travel, until it's not just lines you see... it's the world. water, we take our showers with it. we make our coffee with it. but we rarely tap its true potential and just let it be itself. flowing freely into clean lakes, clear streams and along more fresh water coast line than any other state in the country. come realize water's true potential. dive in-to the waters of pure michigan. your trip begins at michigan.org. delicious gourmet gravy. and she agrees. with fancy feast gravy lovers, your cat can enjoy the delicious, satisfying taste of gourmet gravy every day. fancy feast. the best ingredient is love. here is a rundown of some of the stories we're working on.

>> i think it take twos things. first of all, they're trying to just reignite the connection between the president and young people. that's what these articles and showing up on jimmy kimmel -- or jimmy fallon, that's how that works. then you have to talk to young people about the issues they care about. that's why he spent the week talking about student loan interest rates because it's not just a feel good, let's all hang out kind of a thing. it's a real life economic issue that so many young people whether they're in school or the ones just out of school or some of them beyond school like us are still paying their loans. >> "rolling stone" a lot of buzz being generated right now around president obama. >> i think it's a smart move, but i don't think it's going to be enough. obama really counted on the youth vote and the turnout in '08. it was a huge part of him having the magic formula to get to the white house. and so if he doesn't get the same numbers, it's a real problem for him. and the youth vote is hurting tremendously. the young people are unemployed. you know, one out of every two young people right now is unemployed or underemployed. 3 out of 10 are living back home with their parents. and it's hard to, you know, for these kids who bought into hope and change to stay hopeful while they're in their pajamas in their parents' basement. so i think he's going to have a hard time with it. >> jamal, ana paints a pretty bleak picture. you could tell when his campaign caught fire, when he hit those young voters, the college kids. you could say they dropped the ball when he went into the white house and all of that enthusiasm, even the e-mail and the texting and all of that, they didn't take advantage of that when they moved into the white house. how does he get those folks back? >> well, yeah, i would say the campaign apparatus probably didn't take as much advantage of it as it should have or the dnc. they didn't take as much advantage as they should have. for young people though to get back to ana's point and yours, they're not just sitting in pajamas on their parents' couches. we see this generation as one of the biggest generations of volunteers, very involved in their communities. they really care a lot about what's going on. they maybe get a little disillusioned by politics right now but they're still involved and engaged. the president has also done something for them, for all those folks who are having trouble getting back into the economy, they can stay on their parents' health care until they're 26 years ode. that wouldn't have happened if john mccain was president. it does happen now. the president does have some arrows to fire out of his quiver with young people. >> and we have to give a little shout out to the young folks. i don't think they're all in their pajamas hanging out eating chips -- >> but seriously speaking, it's been a very tough three years for young people. i mean, you have got only 54% of 18 to 24-year-olds right now have a job. that's the highest unemployment rate since government has been keeping a record of unemployment rates. so, you know, it's a real problem, and i think mitt romney is going to have to focus on what his campaign message is with young people as well, which is it's still the economy, and we're not stupid. he's got to hit that because mitt romney is never going to out hip or out sing or out dance barack obama, and he shouldn't try to. he's not going to be funnier on barack obama on "saturday night live" or "jimmy fallon" but at the end of the day we're not electing a comedian in chief, we're electing a commander in chief and somebody to lead us out of the economic doldrums. >> to get to ana's point -- >> real quick and then i have to get into this mitt romney -- >> you're right, mitt romney will never outhip barack obama, but what young people have a very good nose for is they can smell somebody who is not authentic. whoever mitt romney is, he needs to be that person from now until the end of the campaign or young people won't buy what he's selling. >> i agree with you. >> and maybe there is something that mitt romney does have that he can use his secret weapon to appeal to younger voters. his five sons. they were on the campaign trail. he used them to charm a lot of folks and to humanize him a little bit. i want to play a quick clip here. this is one of romney's sons prank calling him. >> got to mantle right now he's feeling stressed. it's the day before the michigan primary. everyone is saying it's a do or die for him, which i don't know that i totally agree with, but he's got to do well. so let's help him relax a little bit and give him a call from governor sha warg necessarier. >> gov, it's the governor of california. >> governor, mitt romney, how are you? >> hi. how are you? >> i'm just fine, governor. how are you doing today? >> good. good. who is your daddy and what does he do? >> all right. ana, that's pretty funny there. do you think you should put his sons out a little more in front to help him attract young voters? >> i think both these candidates, barack obama and mitt romney, have got great families, and i think they should use their wives and in mitt romney's case since he has five adult sons, those five sons shb out there as much as possible because they need to humanize mitt romney. we need to learn more about mitt romney. i think mitt romney's probably not as comfortable talking about himself and his background and humanizing himself. so that's why these five kids can come in. if you have raised five sons, they've got a sense of humor, they're young people, you can't be detached from what the young people are feeling today. >> jamal, even you chuckled when you saw that. >> it's funny and it's fun. and i grew up in a house -- i have four brothers, so -- >> oh, god. >> i understand what a house of five boys is like. it's tough. >> poor ann romney. okay, jamal, ana, great to see you guys. thanks. >> thank you. more fallout for the secret service. first post tuts in hotel rooms in colombia. a new report that has some agents visiting a strip club in el salvador before the president arrives. we more details up ahead. coming up, sunday on cnn's "next list" redefining radio for the 21st century. here is a preview. >> you don't see a lot of people lining up to reinvent radio. there's very few things about my job that are intuitive to me. the one thing that really is intuitive, it's just working with sound. he invented a new way to think about this broadcast medium. >> the genius thing is totally trippy. >> he's like the gershwin of journalism or something. i don't know. just a very amazing thing. >> i think the sound is something like when you're on the edge of a dream. >> and if they want to call that genius, i think that they should.

there is a new report today about agents behaving badly. an admission from a government official of past misconduct by some agents. white house correspondent dan lothian is joining us. first of all, we traveled with the secret service all the time covering the president. these guys and women do a great jock most of the time. what do we know about this one official who says, you know what? every once in a while someone screws up? >> reporter: that's right, in admitting there have been missteps in the past and some employees have engaged in misconduct. this official telling me, quote, that people make mistakes. but also this official noting that given the history of the secret service, it's 147 years old, that that's to be expected. i tried to get specifics as to what that misconduct may have been. this official citing privacy issues would not disclose that information but said their internal investigation division or the office of professional responsibility dealt with those matters, suzanne. >> what do we know about this other incident, the scandal in el salvador? >> reporter: that's right. every day there's more news that continues dripping out on, you know, the secret service and other federal law enforcement agencies as well. and this comes from cairo -- kir o tv in seattle. saying a government contractor who worked with not only the secret service but also some military officials ahead of the president's visit last year to el salvador alleges that he was in a club with about a dozen of these agents, that there was heavy drinking, that some of them did go to a vip area for sexual favors. this report also implicating embassy employees, u.s. embassy employees, fbi, and de a agents. i asked the secret service about that and edwin donovan said the following, quote, the recent investigation in cartagena has generated several news story that is contain allegation i boos mostly unnamed sources. any information brought to you are attention that can be assessed as credible will be followed up on in an appropriate manner. >> all right. dan, thank you. appreciate it. appreciate the update. thanks. coming up, the fight over immigration in arizona spilling over into the world of wrestling. we're going to take you inside the ring for a battle that is just heating up. time for the help desk where we get answers to your financial questions. joining me this hour, gregg olson is a certified financial planner, and lynette cox is the founder of the financial advice plog a blog ask the money coach.com. greg, first question for you comes from tom in ohio. tom wrote in his pension plan has $200,000 in it but he has $25,000 in credit card debt. he wants to know if he should use money from his pension to pay off his credit card. >> no. >> no. >> the first thing that's going to happen is he's going to have to pay income tax on whatever he wraus fr withdraws from his pension planned and then a 10% penalty. he could have to take up to $50,000 out of the pension plan to pay off the $25,000. a much better idea is to switch to the lowest interest rate credit card even if it's an introductory rate. >> good advice. lynette, your question comes from jill in new york. we wrote in she and her husband got a copy of their credit report and it showed three collections. she wants to know how they can pay those off and get them expunged from the report. >> she can certainly pay them off, but just paying them, unfortunately, doesn't mean it automatically gets repofed from your credit report. this is one of the downsides for people who want to pay off debts and do the right thing. the fact is under the law, negative information like a collection can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. simply paying it off won't automatically remove it. you can negotiate. you can reach out to the company you owe and ask whether or not they would agree to delete the information from all three credit reports. there's no guarantee. they may just do it though. but it doesn't automatically happen. >> once it's there, it's there. thank you very much. we appreciate it. if you have a question you want answered send us an e-mail anytime to cnn help desk@cnn.com. this is $100,000. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ? if your bank takes more money than a stranger, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. the supreme court justices surprisingly are speaking in favor in parts of arizona's super tough immigration law. arizona's crackdown was blocked by the federal government. the sate is appealing. now in oral arguments today the justices hinted they would support the part of the law that allows police to check the nationality of people they stop for other reasons. in arizona opponents of the law marched in phoenix. many people believe the law unfairly targets hispanics. the supreme court ruling expected in a few weeks. arizona's governor is optimistic. >> i thought that the hearing went very, very, very well. i feel very confident. as i walked out of there that we will get a favorable ruling in late june. >> arizona's immigration fight at center stage at the supreme court. well, now the story line is a hugely popular west coast wrestling circuit. it's kind of like art imitating life. thelma gz reports from los angeles. >> reporter: in a warehouse deep in an industrial part of los angeles, we're going underground to fight night. this is not your average wrestling match. this is the world of luch a l alibre. fighters perform in front of sellout crowds. on this night the stakes are high. this fight is about the u.s. immigration debate and the controversy surrounding sb-1070, arizona's tough anti-illegal immigration law that's being challenged in the u.s. supreme court. as art imitates life, the court battle plays out in the ring. in the one corner the popular blue demon, a 27-year veteran of lucha libre, and the son of a beloved fighter in mexico. >> i fight for my crowd, for my people. i believe in the free country. >> reporter: his opponent, r.j. brewer, takes on the character of jan brewer's son, the governor who signed sb-1070 in law two years ago. >> when they see somebody like me coming out saying you don't belong here, show me that you do, they take offense. >> reporter: the insults fly fast and furious just as the wrestlers sending the crowd into a frenzy. i met with both wrestlers before the match. have you guys struck a raw nerve?

we'll tell you how the senate stepped in to save the struggling postal service. thousands of postal workers around the country are breathing a sigh of relief after the senate passed a plan to save the u.s. postal service as well as their jobs. the battle not yet over, however. alison kosik joins us from new york. alison, my grandfather used to work for the post office. it's a good job. we know the house hasn't voted on this yet, but the senate plan essentially is going to help people get back on their feet? >> you're talking about the post office, and, yes, this bill will help the post office, but critics say the problem with this bill is it doesn't go far enough. what the bill winds up doing is making it hard for the usps to make the cuts it needs in the first place to save itself. let me give you the big example. the postal service says it wants to close almost 4,000 locations and the senate bill says, okay, close them but we're going to put restrictions on really whether or not you can close them. meaning the postal service first has to prove that these closures are justified with running through lots of studies and public comment. but the thing is the postal service already looked at these closures. they found out that these places are bringing in less than $50 a day and republican congressman darrell issa said if we keep studying this thing, it's going to mean more and more delays and cost millions of dollars more. what this bill does, it caps executive pay. it authorizes worker buyouts, but it doesn't allow the post office to cut that saturday service we all rely on. it doesn't allow that cut in service for a few years saying that really would only be a last resort. suzanne? >> do we know how much time the post office has before it just runs out of money? >> that's a good question. you look at what's going on, it's already in such bad shape it's borrowing money from the government, $12 billion so far. the senate bill lets the postal service borrow even more money if it nids to, and if you ask me, i think it needs to. you look at the usps, it's literally bleeding money here. it's lost 5 billion just last year. it hasn't turned a profit in six years. now, the usps is kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. it needs to make cuts but the problem with the way it gets its approval, they have to go through congress first so the usps can't run itself like a business wood because it's tied up in all that politics. so you can't really see it like a business, any old business. >> i know a lot of people, they look forward to getting their mail on saturday. weekend is really important for a lot of folks. they're going to be able to get their mail for at least on the weekends another couple years, right? >> another couple years. it shows you just how much we rely on our mail, getting it on saturday, that the senate bill did put a stipulation in that that is only a last resort, that the saturday service would go away. >> all right. alison kosik, thanks. appreciate it. >> sure. baby boomers turn to machines to keep them fit. that is pill latisse machines. you will hear one woman's story about how this exercise kept her medical bills down. now washington, they're looking at shutting down post offices coast to coast. closing plants is not the answer. they want to cut 100,000 jobs. it's gonna cost us more, and the service is gonna be less. we could lose clientele because of increased mailing times. the ripple effect is going to be devastating. congress created the problem. and if our legislators get on the ball, they can make the right decisions. not quite knowing what the next phase was going to be, you know, because you been, you know, this is what you had been doing. you know, working, working, working, working, working, working. and now you're talking about, well you know, i won't be, and i get the chance to spend more time with my wife and my kids. it's my world. that's my world. ♪ they are the children of the post war boom. baby boomers born from 1946 through the early '60s have had a huge impact on society, right?
