tornado coming through. and i got up and i felt that before i ran into it. and i thought oh, my lord, that's the tree. >> and then you ran straight through here. >> i crawled over that. >> i'm looking through this, nancy. this is not an easy path for you. >> no, it's not. just made my way through here feeling my way around because it was dark. and i was not prepared like everybody says to be. i

month and he does have diabetes but it's not known if there's a connection between all of that and this. >> that's the type of bleed where a blood vessel bursts. it can be very mon in diabetics. it's a bleeding stroke and near the base of the brain stem, you really are concerned about swelling in that area. it's the area that leads to res piration and your heart rate. it's kind of like the main center for all the functions that are automatic. so if you have a lot of swelling in that area, it really can lead to serious brain damage. >> michaels is a contestant on this season's "celebrity

people died, 18 others were hurt. mostly by gunfire just in one night last week. but chicago's police chief says the national guard is not the answer here. >> the u.s. troops have been winning the hearts and minds in iraq. they stabilized those communities. they made those communities much better from the time that they went in and now those communities are safe and we're saying that's what we want right here in illinois. >> let's go back to 1970. at kent state. national guard comes in. four students shot, killed. you know, i don't think we want that here in chicago. >> illinois governor pat quinn decides when to deploy the state's national guard, and he has not commented yet on this idea. but we do want your views on this story. richelle carey is here to share some of that with us. >> remember that young man darrion albert. he was killed. he was beaten to death by -- allegedly by school students. it was caught on tape. you can understand why people there would want answers. no one can agree on what the answers are. can the national guard actually help save lives in violent neighborhoods like the ones in chicago, what they are going through or would they make the situation more chaotic or do you think it's even just setting a bad precedent? a posted this question on my facebook page. getting a pretty good response so far to this story. let me share some comments with you. chris says this. if the police can't stop or even slow down the violent crime there, then by all means, send in the guards. citizens have the right to live and walk their streets without fear. fred, though, fred says this. sounds like a slippery slope to into a military police state. fred doesn't think it's the answer. let's talk to some view bers this. walter is calling from butler, indiana. walter, you are open to this idea? >> caller: yes, ma'am, and only because of my personal experiences. i was born in new york city, and i have seen how crime started running rampant. if you look at all the major cities across the united states, the south bronx, chicago, it's almost like when katrina, when there was roving gangs of criminals running the streets. and the police had taken the guns away from legal law-abiding citizens. so then the animals are running the asylum. fortunately until we address the issue we're going to have these problems. i'm all for law and order and the poor people that live in these hard zones, hard-working people that just want to live peaceful lives are scared to death. >> let me ask you this, walter. i want to pose a few questions for you. if you support this idea, then do you have any concerns about it being a sliplyrey slope like the facebooker before you did? if you bring in the military now, how long? do you have any concerns with that respect? >> my only concern is for the people that live in utopia that believe that the police will take care of everything and you shouldn't have guns to protect yourself. >> clearly the folks in chicago don't think it's a utopia. they don't think the police will take care of everything. >> it's not a perfect world but every american citizen has the right to live in harmony and live without fear of walking down the streets and having bars in their windows. >> boy, isn't that the truth. okay. okay. >> caller: that's just my opinion on it. >> thank you very much. rodney is calling from jacksonville, florida. you agree with the chicago police chief. the police chief says the national guard is not the answer. why do you agree? >> i just really feel the guard isn't trained to handle u.s. citizens. they are really not. they are trained for more specific assignments such as wars and, you know, hurricane katrina and things of that nature. if they would increase the workforce of the chicago pd instead of trying to cut labor and cut back on costs each year, then they might be able to see some impact and at least a dent in what is currently going on up there. they need to get more programs in the communities to help these troubled teens and young adults with their behavior issues. such as after-school programs, mentoring programs. and last, but not least, us as adults today in this nation, we have to start stepping up and start being role models and living by example and take this country back to its core beliefs and values. >> rodney, i was going to jump in but you laid out your platform there. rodney, thank you. let me get in a facebook comment. dawn says this. isn't that what the national guard is for? they are here to protect and serve us. sound like dawn is on board with this. mike wrote this. this goes against all principles of a free nation. when the military is used against its own people, we start functioning in the same capacity as a military dictatorship. the military does not have to abide by the same laws that the police do. the national guard is needed for disaster relief. poor management of the public safety system in a major city should not qualify as disaster relief. you are raising great points on both sides. do you think bringing in the national guard would save lives in chicago where they are dealing with a really bad crime wave? or do you think it would make the situation or chaotic or not even just the issue of more chaos. do you not like the idea of the military functioning as police? call us right now.

discussion about this throughout the day. christi, you can understand why the people in chicago definitely want some answers. you just can't agree on what the answers are. >> when you have two different law enforcement entities like that trying to mix, trying to merge, that could, who knows what that could bring, i guess is the answer. thanks, richelle. sandra bullock may have gotten a

rights activists are going to take arizona's tough new immigration laws to the courts. thousands or hundreds of activists protested at the state capitol yesterday. look at all these people here. the mayor of phoenix told them he'll sue to block the law. now it requires people to ask -- police rather to ask people about their immigration status if they suspect someone is in the country illegally. and critics called that racial profiling. >> what is reasonable suspicion? i mean, are we going to get pulled over for a broken taillight or just because of the color of our skin? and if so, is everybody going to get stopped? white people? you know, are they going to be looking for europeans as well? or is it just the brown people? >> what do you have to say to those concerns? >> they're really unfounded. the arizona law enforcement community is made up of many hispanics. and the state of arizona has a very high hispanic population. we've never had a policy of racial profiling. in fact, quite the contrary. it's been -- it's been outlawed. >> critics want president obama to fight the law. he calls it misguided and says he's asked the justice department review whether it's even legal. a man with a gun was arrested moments after president obama's plane left asheville, north carolina. police say joseph mcveigh was impersonating a police officer in an airport parking lot and that his car had sirens and flashing lights. they say he had formulas for rifle scopes on a note in his cup holder. police add the president was not in any danger. sandra bullock, listen to this one, may have gotten an apology from one of her husband's alleged mistresses. tmz reports melissa smith faxed a letter yesterday to bullock's agent and it says, quote, i am sorry for any hurt or pain that i've caused you. my actions of engaging with a married man are unforgivable." hln has not confirmed the letter. we contacted bullock's agent about it. haven't yet heard back. you know with the economy slowly starting to recover here, are you slipping back into your old shopping ways and ditching those discount stores? clark howard tells us about a trend he never saw coming and how you can benefit. >> okay. i create enough paranoia for people using the boss' equipment at work. but i got a new one for you. let's say you decide to use the boss' fax machine for something sensitive, personal or maybe you are sending a resume to a new potential employer. or you are using the boss' copier to make copies of your resume or personal financial documents. well, listen to this tip from wbz tv in boston. would you believe that the newest wave of copiers and fax machines digitally record the image of everything that goes across the plate. what that means is that your employer gets to snoop on every fax, every copy that anybody makes. so don't send sensitive financial documents from work and absolutely, positively, do not make copies or fax, cover sheets for resumes or resumes to potential new employers. i'm clark howard. for more ways to keep you out of trouble with the boss go to cnn.com/clarkhoward. and you can watch clark howard every saturday and sunday at noon and 4:00 p.m. eastern here on hln news and views. dozens of schoolgirls in afghanistan have ended up in the hospital with a mystery illness. officials are investigating what is making them sick. the question is has

[ laughs ] ♪ i am stuck on band-aid® brand ♪ ♪ 'cause band-aid® helps heal me! ♪ rocker turned reality tv star bret michaels is fighting for his life as we speak here. his publicist says he's in critical condition in intensive care following a massive brain hemorrhage. doctors apparently have yet to find the source of that bleeding. alan duke is following this story from los angeles. what do we know about his prognosis or what they are even able to do at this point, alan? >> it's really interesting how his manager and his publicist have been very careful not to tell us much. they do tell us that he is a survivor and a fighter. and we know that the doctors are right now searching for the source of the bleeding in his brain. and they are pleading with friends and family members who may have other information not to share it with the media. they say doctors will release a report probably this week on his medical condition. so we really don't know much other than what they've just told us. >> i heard one doctor say that if you can speak, that you are on the better end of this thing. do we know if he's able to talk? >> well, some of those friends and family who have spoken, including his father, spoken to some journalists, have said that they've talked to him, that he is able to talk. so that's a good sign. when i tried to call his father this morning, they simply referred us to the publicist in new york. so this is really shocking to a lot of the folks in the rock world. in fact, i just happened friday afternoon to be at the "tonight show" backstage in the green room with creed when they were taping for jay leno. and the news broke. and let's listen to what the couple of the members of creed who knew bret michaels said about this. >> maybe when he had that collapse on him. >> that was at the tony awards. >> pretty recently. that's too bad. i heard he's a very have good guy and that's tough. there's lots of bad things happen to a lot of good people. and it's just a shame. >> well, our prayers go out to him and his family and we have, you know, reached out to people that we know to -- that are close to him to let him know how we feel and that we are there for him and his family. we just got to pray, man. and believe that the best is yet to come in that situation. so all you can do is keep having hope. >> and a couple of hours after that, i was with gene simmons and paul stanley of kiss. they hadn't heard the news. when i told them about bret michaels, especially paul stanly, was really, really struck by that and my interview with them had a sort of more somber tone at least at points because kiss, a predecessor to the group like poison, they took that very personally. >> one more quick question. were there any signs? we know he was a diabetic. what were the signs leading up to this? were there any? >> well, just, i think it was 11 days earlier, he was suddenly hospitalized with -- for his appendix. of course, he's got a very serious case of diabetes, which doctors say complicate everything. and he wrote in a blog just a day earlier that he wasn't feeling 100%. so his health has certainly been an issue. >> all right. alan duke, boy, thank you so much. live for us there from los angeles. we appreciate it, as always. teams from the federal emergency management agency are in mississippi today to survey the damage from this weekend's deadly tornado. the storm killed at least ten people in mississippi, two in alabama and turned hundreds of homes and buildings, as you see there, into nothing but rubble. dozens of people were hurt and the coroner of choctaw county, mismirks almost became a victim himself when the twister flipped his truck four times. another man was driving to his dad's restaurant to take cover in the freezer when the tornado blew out the windows of his car, lifted it up and tossed it into the restaurant. this twister damaged several homes and toppled power lines in albertville, alabama, as well. governor bob riley visiting that area today. electricity may not be fully restored until wednesday. >> oh, my god! wow. wow! wow! >> that's where you'd be saying, too if you saw this, isn't it?

>> well, what we saw was on the way home, we saw -- we went through a couple of rain storms. and as we were on 64 getting ready to turn on to 264, we saw the clouds -- the sky just came low and there were lots of clouds. a big, looming kind of cloud. we just didn't pay attention to it. then a few seconds later, joanne says, look at this. i looked up and it was right there in front of us. >> so you saw the thing forming? >> yes. >> okay. how did you know what to do at that time? i lot of people are in your situation allan where you are just driving down the road. >> i knew i didn't want to be bunched up near any other cars. i knew i wanted it to be on the left so we could just go straight. and i knew i didn't want to be around the truck that had passed us. so -- and i didn't want to go too close to the edge of the road because the embankment was kind of steep. and if it came our way, i didn't want it to have us roll down that hill there. >> but you kept driving. you didn't stop? did you just slow down? >> every once in a while, joanne did slow down. that's when we came up on cars. a bunch of cars were slowing down. so she did slow down. >> how are you keeping each other calm at that point? >> say that again? >> like what was your conversation in the car as you are watching this? >> there wasn't much of a conversation. she just wanted to know what she should do. our son was in the back. every time i told her to do something, i don't know if you can hear it, he's asking why. he's in that kind of phase right now. but i knew i wanted to keep the thing to our left. that was the biggest thing. we didn't speed much at all, unless something, like the ambulance went by, the truck went by. somebody pulled out in frochnt us, like i figured they would. we wanted to keep going straight and keep some options open if it turned in our direction. >> you obviously did the right thing and have it on video to show your son when he's older and you can explain the whys even better. thanks for sharing pictures with us. we're just glad you are okay. >> i can't hardly hear you. >> thank you for sharing the pictures. we're glad you're okay. >> why, thank you very much. >> thank you. i want to invite the rest of you if you have pictures or video of severe weather or breaking news from wherever you happen to be in the world go to ireport.com and click on the upload now link. nfl star ben roethlisberger will make his first public comment today about the six-game suspension he'll serve this year. the league commissioner sidelined the pittsburgh steelers' quarterback because of his off-field behavior. georgia prosecutors investigated sexual assault allegations against roethlisberger. but they decided not to file charges. pittsburgh coach mike tomlin says the quarterback is ready to accept the nfl's punishment and move forward with his career. a frightening multicar crash at tal dalea caused one driver's door catch fire. it was the final lap in the race. justin alguere's car. here's the bird's-eye view. look at this thing go. driver jamie mcmurray loses control, spins out there. cars scatter. dennis setzer gets pushed into the fence and caught fire. the fence kept his car from flying off the track. and that allowed brad keselowski to win the race who almost was kept out of the race because of problems with his car. good heavens. two lawmakers want to call in the national guard to help fight crime. you'll hear about a wave of violence in a big midwestern city. and we're asking you, what do you think of bringing the national guard in to police the city?

white people? are they looking for europeans as well or just the brown people? >> he's calling for national guard deployment. it's drastic action. is it wranlted under these circumstances? without question. >> some of the stories we are covering now. hi, everybody. chuck roberts. thanks for choosing hln news & views. teams are fouring across mississippi surveying the damage from the weekend tornados. the storm killed at least ten people in mississippi, two in alabama and turned hundreds of homes and buildings into piles of rubble. dozens of people were hurt. a coroner almost became a victim himself in choctaw, mississippi when his truck was flipped. a man was in his truck when the sirens sounded. the windows blew out. he was lifted up, tossed into a restaurant. >> it was unbelievable. when the wind exploded it was like anything i have never experienced. i mean, it was just amazing. it scared us plum to death. i'm very fortunate. i have four beautiful children. i couldn't imagine being without them. as tragic as everything is, we've lost kinfolks and family in this incident today. we lost family members and our hearts go out to them. we're lucky to be here. you don't realize how lucky you have it until something like this happens. >> oh, my god. wow! wow! wow! school is cancelled in darlington, south carolina because of damage there. the twister is moving along the tree line about a mile from where this video was taken. it damaged a high school, tore the roof off an elementary school, damaged a church. three people were hurt. the owner of the coal mine that exploded in west virginia insists the air was fine hours before the blast. tests earlier in the day showed no build-up of explosive gases. he said the tests showed adequate air flow inside the mine. the company will give what it calls unprecedented financial compensation to the families of miners killed in the blast. massey says it will pay life insurance benefits, health care, college expenses for the children of the 29 miners who died. a day after the memorial, president obama says the 29 men died in the pursuit of the american dream. he met privately with families before giving a eulogy at the service. he says the nation will honor their memory by improving safety. doctors are trying to pinpoint the source of bret michaels' brain hemorrhage. he's listed in critical condition in the icu. his publicist said the former poison front man is in the unit under 24-hour surveillance. doctors have not located the source of the bleeding. michaels had an emergency appendectomy and has diabetes. it's not known if there is a connection. >> that's the type of bleed where a blood vessel bursts. it's very common in diabetics. it's a bleeding stroke. near the base of the brain stem you're concerned about swelling. that's the area that leads to respiration and heart rate. it's like the main center for all the functions that are automatic. so if you have a lot of swelling in that area it can really lead to a serious brain injury. >> the doctor was kind enough to flesh that out. she's on the phone now. thank you for your time. to what extent is the diabetes a factor here? >> caller: well, there are some studies. initially when he first had the subarachnoid bleed we weren't sure what type of stroke. you can have any kind of bleeding stroke that can leak blood into that space. diabetics we know are at increased risk of a bleeding stroke or a regular stroke. but a pure sub arachnoid bleed caused from aneurysm, you know, the jury's still out. studies say there is a risk. some studies say there is not. at this point, it appears that from what i have read -- because i haven't seen the case, obviously -- that he has mostly a subarachnoid bleed. they haven't pinpointed the aneurysm that caused it. they don't see blood anyplace else in his brain. so, you know, they're not sure what's going on. we know that high blood pressure is a risk, although they have never said he had high blood pressure. smoking can contribute to it. a lot of people just have small aneurysms. sometimes they don't even know about it until it ruptures and bleeds. >> could it be a residual effect of the set crashing on his head last june? >> you know, usually when there is a bleed from trauma you have immediate problems right away. it's nothing that would be delayed like this. so, you know, he may have been unfortunately somebody who had this aneurysm. it just ruptured at a certain time. you know, people wondered. he had the emergency appendectomy, said he was in a lot of pain. you would have to be in a lot of pain and have blood pressure raised significantly but you would have to have the aneurysm there. >> his dad said he's in arizona. is there a good unit there? >> yeah. you know, at the universities they have stroke centers and intensive care units. so there are some excellent places in arizona as there are in every state. you know, every state usually has a great university where they have good stroke centers. >> doctor leave vinocur, thank you very much. we'll have coverage all day long, the place to be for the latest on bret michaels and his ongoing emergency. we think he's in arizona in icu. two lawmakers want to call the national guard to help fight crime. you will hear about a wave of violence in a big mid western city. aflac is not pay the hospital insurance. aflac is not pay the doctor insurance. aflac is not major medical insurance. aflac is affordable-we-pay-cash-directly- to-you-fast-when-you're-sick-or- hurt-insurance. if all you know about us is... duck: aflac! ...then you don't know quack. to find out all the ways aflac's got you covered, visit knowquack.com.

richelle carey has more on what the viewers are saying. >> has it come to that? that's a great question. can the national guard help save lives in violent neighborhoods like some of the neighborhoods in chicago? if they could save lives, is this necessarily the way to go about it? there are a lot of questions, a lot of issues. i posted the question on my facebook page and you have been discussing away. all right? here's some of what you're saying. laura says, nothing else seems to have worked. why not give it a try? our country wastes money on so many other things. why not do something helpful? if it works, maybe other cities will do the same thing and crime could possibly go down. amy says, i think it would make matters worse. it would cause an increase in violent crimes and it would be aimed at the national guard for being there. i foresee riots. i think she thinks it would make people resentful of their presence. let me talk about this with martha. martha's calling from bozier city, louisiana. i have been there before, miss martha. you have experience with the national guard in your town. what's your take on this? >> caller: in 1978 i lived in memphis, tennessee and both the police department and fire department went on strike so they brought in the national guard. the guard did an admirable job but we had a dusk to dawn curfew. so they were basically keeping the streets empty at night. one of the big issues is police officers are trained to deal with people in highly charged emotional situations. the national guard is not. although soldiers have done an admirable job in iraq, my city is not a war zone. if the people of chicago decided their city is a war zone they have big issues they need to deal with. the big thing they have to do is just like most cities in the united states have had to do, we have had to decide what we want to spend money on and what we don't want to spend money on. sometimes that includes an increase in taxes to provide adequate police protection but we don't need soldiers marching down the street. that's like soviet bloc countries 30 years ago. >> you bring up a lot of good points because you have been through this and the people of chicago haven't seen in national guard in the streets. you mentioned spending money. wow. i guess the follow up to that would be is money necessarily going to solve the problem even? >> caller: it would be a help. but at the end of the day, people have to behave somewhat reasonably. if they don't there's not much you can do except put handcuffs on them and build more prisons. i do believe when you have a larger police force like detroit has really been working hard to put their police on the streets to stop gun violence. and they have made great strides in that. that's what's going to have to happen in chicago and other large cities with crime problems. you've got to have a larger police force out there on the street. >> that's martha's take. thank you for the conversation. paul is calling from california. what do you think about the idea if you were in chicago looking out the window seeing the national guard patrolling the streets? what do you think? >> caller: i think it's good. i think that the national guard should come here because the police department don't have the manpower to do it and then they have the opportunity to patrol the streets at night, keep the gangs off the streets and if they do find them, they pick them up, take them to jail. i think it's a good deal. if i was the governor of illinois, i would have declared marshall law and brought in the national guard. they treat the american people like -- they're police officers but they are in a police officer type of form that they are national guard. that's what they are there for. >> you're saying it would make the community safer? >> caller: yes, ma'am. >> thank you for the conversation, paul. what do you think about this? bringing in the national guard to maybe bring down the violence, the crime in chicago. there are a couple of lawmakers who want it to happen. do you think nothing else is working so maybe this is an idea? maybe it concerns you. call us toll 1-877-tell-hln. you can also e-mail us at cnn.com/hln. text us, discuss it on facebook. if you're in chicago, call and tell us what you think about the idea. we'd like to hear from you for sure. >> boy, the troops have to know state law and city ordinance in a crash course. >> our first caller made a great point that they are not trained to be police. >> they have a whole different skill set. thanks. sandra bullock may have gotten a letter from one of her husband's alleged mistresses. with giving gm a second chance. quite frankly, i can respect that. we want to make this a company all americans can be proud of again. that's why i'm here to announce we have repaid our government loan, in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule. but there's still more to do. our goal is to exceed every expectation you've set for us. we're putting people back to work, designing, building, and selling the best cars and trucks in the world. with our 100,000-mile, 5-year powertrain warranty to guarantee the quality. and the unmatched life-saving technology of onstar to help keep you safe. from new energy solutions. to the designs of tomorrow. we invite you to take a look at the new gm. rheumatoid arthritis going?

are we going to get pulled over for a broken taillight or because of the color of our skin? if so, is everybody going to get stopped? white people? are they looking for europeans as well or just the brown people? >> reporter: what do you have to say to those concerns? >> they're really unfounded. the arizona law enforcement community is made up of many hispanics and the state of arizona has a very high hispanic population. we have never had a policy of racial profiling. in fact, quite the contrary. it's been outlawed. >> critics want the president to fight the law. he says it's misguided and asked the u.s. justice department to review its legality. sandra bullock may have gotten an apology from one of her husband's alleged mistresses. tmz reported melissa smith said, i am sorry for any hurt i have caused you. my actions are unforgivable. we contacted sandra bullock's agent. no response yet. robot submarines were dispatched to shut off the oil leak in the gulf of mexico. this is the area where the oil rig exploded tuesday, a week ago, 50 miles off louisiana. 11 workers are missing, presumed dead. now the oil rig is leaking 1,000 barrels of crude a day. 42,000 gallons. the exxon valdez spilled 11 million in all off the coast of alaska in 1989. but if the subs can't tap the leak they may take months to drill relief wells. dozens of afghan schools are sick. has the taliban found a new way to keep girls from getting an education?

without question. well, it is so good to have your company. i'm christi paul. welcome to hln news and views. a haitian judge we learned decided to drop kidnapping and criminal association charges against american laura silsby. the judge ruled she and a haitian-american pastor will stand trial on the less serious charge of arranging a regular travel. that's a charge that carries a sentence from six months to three years in prison if convicted. silsby, remember, was among ten american church members accused of kidnapping for trying to take a bus load of children out of the country in haiti. the others have been released and are back home in the u.s. right now. well, tets talk about what's happening in the u.s. teams from the federal management agency in mississippi surveying the damage from last weekend's deadly tornado. this storm killed ten people in mississippi and two in alabama, turned hundreds of homes and buildin buildings into what you sigh there. rubble. the coroner of chocktaw county, mississippi, almost became a victim, himself, when the twister flipped his truck four times. another man was driving to his dad's restaurant to take cover in a freezer when the winds lifted his car up and tossed it into the restaurant. >> it was unbelievable. when the windows exploded it was like anything i've never experienced. it's amazing. it scared us to death. i'm very fortunate. i have four beautiful children and couldn't imagine being without them. as tragic as everything is, we've lost ten folks and family in this incident today. all family members. our hearts go out to them. because i just -- we're lucky to be here. and don't realize how lucky you do have it until something like this happens. >> wow. wow. wow. holy -- >> would you be saying the same thing if you saw that in front of you? schools canceled in darlington county, south carolina because of tornado damage there. see this twister moving along the treeline, a mile away from where the video was shot. it tore the roof off elementary school, damaged a high school, hit several homes and a church and three people were hurt. robots submarines have been dispatched to shut off a growing crude oil leak in the gulf of mexico now. this is the area where the oil rig exploded tuesday about 50 miles off louisiana. 11 workers are missing and presumed dead now. experts say the sunken oil rig is leaking about 1,000 barrels of crude a day. >> of course, any oil spill is significant, but what the situation we have here right now is that we have approximately 40,000 gallons of oil being discharged out of the relief pipe that extends out of the well. and that, if you can figure the pipe, itself, is bent in several locations and if you can figure, like, a garden hose would be restricted for its discharge that is helping to curb the amount of oil that's coming out of the well that's pressurized. >> now the rig is spilling about 42,000 gallons of oil a day. to give you perspective, the exon valdez spilled 11 million total off the coast of alaska in 1989. the coast guard says if the subs can't tap the leak crews might drill relief wells and that could take several months. immigrant rights activists are going to take arizona's tough new immigration laws to the courts. hundreds of activists protested at the state capitol yesterday. the mayor of phoenix told them he'll sue to block the law. it requires police to ask people about their immigration status if they suspect someone in the country is here illegally. critics call it downright racial profiling. >> what is reasonable suspicion? i mean, are we going to get pulled over just for a broken taillight or because of the color of our skin? if so, is everybody going to get stopped? white people? are they going to be looking for europeans as well or just the brown people? >> what do you have to say to those concerns? >> they're really unfounded. the arizona law enforcement community is made up of many hispanics and the state of arizona has a high hispanic population. we've never had a policy of racial profiling, in fact, quite the contrary. it's been -- it's been outlawed. >> now, critics want president obama to fight the law. he calls it misguided and says he's asked the justice department review whether it's legal. we're learning more about the man with a gun arrested moments after president obama's plane left asheville, north carolina. police say joseph mcvey was spotted in an airport parking lot and told an officer he wanted to see the president. his car had sirens and flashing lights. so he's being held on a $100,000 bond at the request of federal authorities. they say he had formulas for rifle scopes on a note in his cup holder. police who know mcvey describe him as a ham radio enthusiast and volunteers with a citizen emergency group. police say the president was never in any danger. the u.s. supreme court is going to decide whether a california law that would ban the sale or rental of violent video games to kids violates freedom of speech. the high court agreed to hear this case yesterday in oral arguments are expected this fall. video game makers say the existing nationwide industry-imposed voluntary rating system is enough of a screen for parents to judge if games, like the grand theft auto series, say, are appropriate. california officials say the state has a legal obligation to protect children when the industry does not do so. the state law never took effect because a u.s. district court blocked it after the video game industry sued california citing constitutional concerns. well, dozens of school girls in afghanistan have ended up in the hospital with a mystery illness. officials are investigating what's making them sick. the question is, has the taliban found a new way here to keep girls from getting an education? i don't know if you've seen this yet. a surveillance video has new yorkers asking themselves a lot of hard questions today. it shows a good samaritan stopping a man from stabbing a woman then getting stabbed, himself. here's the thing. he collapsed on the sidewalk and laid there for more than an hour. you see the video here. one person after another just walking right past him. a few stopped for a closer look, one snapped a picture, but no one tried to help. police did get two 911 calls during the time, but neither gave the right address. by the time they responded to a third call that man was dead. more than 80 schoolgirls got sick in three separate cases of mass illness in northern afghanistan during the last week. officials are afraid the taliban might be poisoning them. in each case the girls complained of a strange smell before they got sick and the taliban had been known to target school schoolgirls in the past. so far there's no proof. a spokesman for the afghan president says any attempt to keep girl s out of school is lie a terrorist act. we have this just in. big legal troubles for walmart. federal appearss court in san francisco says the retail giant must face a class action lawsuit. claims the world's largest private employer discriminates against female employees. the lawsuit was filed back in 2001 and includes more than 1 million current and former workers. the lawsuit alleges walmart pays women less than men for the same job and female employees receive fewer promotions and have to wait longer for those promotions than male counterparts. well, health reform is passed. now what? one of the most significant measures kicks in later this year. young adults will be able to stay on their parents' insurance plans until age 26. cnn.com's poppy harlow is money.com's poppy harlow is in new york. i know you sat down with someone who can really benefit from that change, right? >> yeah. i mean, we've spent so much time talking about health care reform. talking to the pundits, politicians. it's the folks out there that don't have health insurance that it actually matterses the most for. one of those people is calvin arias, 24 years old, lives in brooklyn, new york. he has chron's deciisease. people live with this throughout their entire lives. he's too old to be on his parents' insurance. doesn't have enough hours under his belt at his job to get that insurance but he makes too much money working her doesn't qualify for medicaid. he's one of the many people in this country stuck in a difficult position. you'll see more when you listen to him. >> i feel like i don't have my life because i don't have my health. i've cried so much. i don't want to do it anymore, you know? i just want to triumph whatever obstacle i have in my life. i want to be able to live instead of worrying about it so much. >> what would help? >> first of all for me to get good health insurance. without health insurance i'm nothing. i'm not able to get my medicine. i'm not able to go see a doctor. >> and that makes it worse. your disease worse. >> yeah. it definitely aggravates it. if i don't have any medication my disease is not in control. >> how much does the medication cost you now without insurance? >> generic 30-day supply, $640. >> $640. that's a paycheck. >> yep. that's more than a paycheck for me. >> should you go without it sometimes? >> i've been going without it since january. >> and you've spent a lot of time in the hospital, even recently? >> yeah. i went to the emergency room to get admitted. i was feeling stomach pains and a whole bunch of other side effects from my condition. >> are you going to have to pay for part of that? >> i'm going to have to pay for everything. >> do you know how much that's going to cost? >> hundreds and hundreds of dollars if not a couple thousand, at least. >> do you ever try not to go to the hospital because you think i can't afford it? >> yeah. that's probably why i wait so long is because i know i can't pay for it. i was robbed of my childhood because i wasn't able to run and play basketball or play baseball. i was in little league and had to stop playing little league because of my condition. >> you really think if you get insurance it's going to make the situation at least better for you? >> most definitely. like i said before, if you have your health you have everything. >> and we are going to check back in with calvin in a few months after that reform kicks in. it should allow him, christie, to be on his parents' health care. he says that's going to help in a major way. there are some insurance companies in this country, actually coming forward, and allow people before the mandatory deadline, young adults to get on their parents' health insurance, people who are 26 years old or younger, allow hem to do that before the deadline this fall. hopefully it helps calvin out. important to hear the stories of the people who really need it and they're waiting for anything to change. >> it really brings it home. no doubt. thank you so much, poppy. appreciate it. >> you got it. well, rocker bret michaels is under 24 hour doctor supervision now after suffering a brain hemorrhage. we're going to get an update on his condition from "showbiz tonight's" a.j. hammer in a moment. quite frankly, i can respect that. we want to make this a company all americans can be proud of again. that's why i'm here to announce we have repaid our government loan, in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule. but there's still more to do. our goal is to exceed every expectation you've set for us. we're putting people back to work, designing, building, and selling the best cars and trucks in the world. with our 100,000-mile, 5-year powertrain warranty to guarantee the quality. and the unmatched life-saving technology of onstar to help keep you safe. from new energy solutions. to the designs of tomorrow. we invite you to take a look at the new gm. key lime pie, pineapple upside down cake, raspberry cheesecake... ...yeah, every night it's something different. oh yeah yeah...she always keeps them in the house. no no no, i've actually lost weight... i just have a high metabolism or something... ...lucky.

"us" magazine is reporting according to lindsay's mom, lindsay and ali are trying to get a restraining order to keep their dad away. here's what continues to baffle me, christi. why is he doing it in a public way? running to the cameras to say this is what i'm doing. deal with it privately, michael, if she does in fact need help. let's face it, his credibility has never been that strong and a lot of people say this is a big publicity stunt. i like to think it's not but it's hard to believe that when he's running to the cameras. >> you bring up such a strong point. that's something that echos with everybody. this family has pretty much been a mess in front of the cameras for a long time at this point. >> for a long, long time. it's a very fluid information. we'll have the latest on the lindsay lohan drama. will michael be successful in getting a conservatorship? will lindsay be successful at getting a restraining order against her dads? we'll see you here at 5:00. >> a.j., have a great afternoon. see you in a bit. sandra bullock, sure they're talking about this, too, may have gotten an apology from one-her husband's alleged mistresses. melissa smith faxed a letter yesterday to bullock's agent saying "i'm sorry for any hurt and pain i caused you. my actions of engaging with a married man are unforgivable." hln has not confirmed that letter. we contacted bullock's agent about it, haven't heard back. it looks as though kate gosselin's kids are going to be allowed to appear on her new reality show "kate plus 8." a pennsylvania department of labor says the show's producers got child labor permits for the children to appear on the program with their mother. the permits will have to be renewed every six months. last month state regulators said the children should have had permits to appear on gosselin's old show "jon & kate plus 8." well, what's it like to look up and see this huge tornado traveling down the road with you?

(announcer) people with stomach ulcers or other conditions that cause bleeding should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines, including aspirin, may increase bleeding risk, so tell your doctor when planning surgery. certain genetic factors and some medicines, such as prilosec, may affect how plavix works. tell your doctor all the medicines you take, including aspirin, especially if you've had a stroke. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, reported sometimes less than two weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur. five p two illinois lawmakers, state lawmakers, both representing parts of chicago want the national guard in the city to help them fight crime. they say 113 people have been murdered this year so far in the windy city. seven died and 18 others were hurt mostly by gunfire in one night last week. officials are at odds over whether the national guard is the answer. >> the u.s. troops have been winning the hearts and minds in iraq. they stabilized those communities. they made those communities much better from the time that they went in and now those communities are safe, and we're saying that's what we want right here in illinois. >> let's go back to 1970, you know, at kent state. national guard comes in, four students shot, killed. you know, i don't think we want that here in chicago. >> illinois governor pat quinn has the call. he decides and he alone when to deploy the national guard and has not commented yet on this proposal, but a lot of people have right here at hln. richelle carey is here with more on what our viewers are saying. >> we ask for their views and they're like, thanks, richelle, i'll tell what you i think about it even if officials haven't said so yet. there's some concerns about this. some people are welcoming this idea, the idea of the national guard coming into neighborhoods with the intent, the focus to be to tamp down the violence, to perhaps save lives and maybe you think that is the right way to go. others think it is completely the wrong idea, that this is not what the military is trained for. we're getting our views on this. it's on my facebook page. deann said i lived on the south side of chicago 25 years ago, and she says she had to look over her shoulder constantly. too many people have died at the hands of thugs. bring on the national guard for the safety of the people. marie says this, what would this accomplish? it would turn chicago into the wild west where there would be gun fights on every corner and guess who would be caught in the middle? so opposite sides there. let's talk about this. tara is calling us from ironwood, michigan. you're open to the idea. you think it would solve some of the issues, some of the dire issues really. >> caller: very much so. i agree with the proposal. everyone seems to back the war on terror. they should have started right here in the streets of the united states. if things get chaotic, it's because people have become combatant towards the troops and if that's the case they should be ashamed of themselves. >> being ashamed of thems themselves, but this is the military dealing with civilians and they're not necessarily trained with those types of sensibilities. do you have any concern about the military interacting in neighborhoods at all? >> caller: i think they're more just trying to keep a close eye on the situation and get input from the civilians on how they can clean it up. >> people across the country are very concerned about this. we're talking about kids losing their lives as well. tara, thank you very much. tara likes the idea. dale is calling us from middleville, michigan. dale, what do you think about this? do you think it could work? >> caller: no, i think it's totally wrong. we pay our national guard to defend our country, not to be in our streets. they're not cops. they're not paid to be cops. they shouldn't be cops. >> do you see why some of the lawmakers might be looking at all types of solutions possible though? i know you don't think this is the right solution, but do you understand why they might feel desperate? >> caller: i understand that, but chicago just needs to hire more cops, plain and simple. if they hire more cops, they wouldn't have the problems. >> okay. >> caller: it's all they got to do. that's wh they did in detroit. i work in chicago all the time. i'm down there all the time. if i was to go there to go to work, national guard comes in, they put a curfew on. i can't do my work because i work at night. >> dale, you're actually the second person who called today from michigan to reference some of the changes and things that are going on in detroit. thank you for your phone call. that's why we like people to call from all over the you don't tell us what's happening where they are. walker says adding troops to an already violent situation would be adding fuel to the fire and the presence of the guard and, yes kent state meetly came to mind, would simply fuel the violence. lori says, if they're to stop and unrest in other places abroad, why not at home? an e-mail from florida, they say bring in the guard. they'll clean it up quickly and effectively in record time. the cops aren't even close to what the military can do. what do you think? something that's worked in your town, let us know. what do you think about the idea of bringing in the national guard? do you think it would save lives? do you think it would just make the situation worse? do you have any concerns about the military being used in this role? call us, 1-877-tell-hln. e-mail, cnn.com/hln. text hlntv. standard text rates apply and it's posted on all of our facebook pages. don't get me wrong, chuck, our service men and women, they can do any number of roles. i mean, they know how -- >> they adapt very well. >> they can shake a child's hands and make them feel like the center of the universe and turn on a dime as well, but people have some legitimate questions. >> there is a learning curve. tiger woods back in the news, back on the links. he'll be competing at quail hollow championship in charlotte. begins thursday and runs through the weekend. rafer weigel right here, hln's morning express will be there and bringing us live reports. the event they say is sold out. they do not expect hecklers, but if there's any disruption they will handle it quickly. the world champion new york yankees meeting with president obama at the white house right now. earlier today the team brought the world series trophy to show to wounded veterans at walter reed medical center. there's the ceremony under way. there's the president and the manager joe girardi. the president just walking in. he's coming in. there's joe girardi and derek jeter. a-rod is there. later tonight they will play the baltimore orioles. the president shaking hands. they're 12-6 this year. dozens of school girls in afghanistan have ended up in the hospital with a mystery he willness -- illness?
