obien. i guess we won't ultimately know if they were tapping her phones. appreciate you, thank you. let's go to the top of the hour. troopers in a death race. that patrol unit is not chasing, it's leading a pack of ferraris and other luxury cars just rocketing down this particular highway. while this video is 2 years old, the star ledger is reporting that it happened again, as in last month. >> on top of that, they report that brandon jacobs, a pro

football player was driving this luxury pack, this escort to atlantic city. witnesses filed complaints with the details. they say the caravan was going more than 100 miles an hour enroute. a third trooper had been transferred, reasidelined. chris baxter, the state house reporter for the star ledger opinion i was wraeding about this last night, porsches and lamborghinis and ferraris. how fast were they going. fill me in. >> welcome to trenton, new jersey. it's been a busy couple of days. from what witnesses said, it's about 25 to 30 luxury cars. ferraris, forthats and lom

bargainnys. they said well in excess of 100 miles an hour following this trooper and failed by a trooper, both with their emergency lights flashing. the witnesses describe really a dangerous scene. they said drivers were struggling to get out of way. an older woman panicked when a trooper came up behind her and almost wound up in a ditch. with the police escorted a vary can of 30 exotic vehicles all traveling well over 100 miles an hour. do we know why they were in such a rush to get to? >> no. that's not totally clear yet. they were going to atlantic city. the attorney for sergeant first class has been suspended. brandon kay jobs was among them.

they were going down there to coordinate maybe some of these charitable events. but that's not clear yet what they did in atlantic city. we saw the video from 2010. what are the repercussions? >> official channels through the state police say that these kinds of escorts are extremely rare and that they only allow them for a high profile funerals and they have to be approved up the chain of command all in writing. they claim these things are very rare. we now have two instances where it appears troopers led, you know, fast spores car down through dense traffic. there are policies for allowing these kinds of escorts.

i think it's all under review. this force is about 2,700 members. >> governor chris christie coming up with his comments saying this is a ridiculous story, a dumb thing to do and very confident it will be dealt with appropriately. still ahead, tragedy on stage. an actor accidentally hangs himself in a production of "passion of the christ." plus, millions of high school seniors want to go to college, but lots are learning the hard reality, they can't always pay for it. time is running out for real help. arnie duncan on whether he's preparing for a fight this summer when it comes to congress.

we showed you the president last hour. president obama speaking in chapel hill, north carolina, on the issue of student lones. as we told you, the current interest rate on the federally backed student loans is scheduled to double july 1. from the current rate of 3.4% to 6.8% unless congress acts. >> she said she had very little tolerance for people who tell me they graduate with debt because there's no reason for that. i'm just quoting here. i'm just quoting. she said students who rack up student loan debts sitting on their butts having opportunity dumped in your lap.

so were in an election year and the president is tweaking republicans on an issue important to millions of young voters. he needs their votes. but i want you to hear his likely opponent mitt romney speaking just yesterday. i support the effort to extend the low interest rates on student loans. there was some concern that would expire halfway through the year. and i support extending the temporary relief on interest rates for students. >> so romney is with the president on this one. john boehner is willing to work it out himself. thanks for coming on the show.

i know some folks are saying there is no fight here. some say it's good for the president's election campaign. what do you say to that? >> we have to educate our way to a better economy. republicans and democrats alike we should do everything we can to keep interest rate downs. the president is working very, very hard on this. and going to college has never been more important, brooke. unfortunately it's also never been more expensive. and to have interest rates double is seimply unacceptable. >> there really is no are you kus over this after all. both sads are agreeing. >> it's one thing to have folks verbally agree.

it's another thing to have congress pass the bill, pass the law. we're still in our early innings. there has been significant opposition. there are lots of folks in congress who want to scale back and perkins loans and pel grnts. education is an investment, not an expense. we have to work together on this. if we can pass this together, that would move the country forward in a very positive direction. >> do you, as u.s. education secretary feel comfortable being drawn into a political battle such as this one, especially in an election year? >> i could care less about politics and ideology. i just want to see every young person have a chance to get a great education. whether it's k through 12, making sure our high school students graduate from high school. or whether it's making sure many more young people have access to college. your viewers may not know one generation ago, we led the world

in college graduates. today we're 16th. 15 other countries have passed us by. they're outeducating us, outinnovating us. we have to lead the world. that's what the president has challenged us to do. we all have to do this together. and again, there are times when so many folks are struggling to pay for college. college has to be successful to the middle class and to have the interest rates double makes no sense whatsoever. >> let's put politics aside. secretary duncan, we are in this election year, i want you to just think about this. give me one achievement within obviously your wheel house, being education you feel, i don't know, proudest of in your three-plus years in office? one achievement. >> many things we've worked hard on and i'm proud of. top of the list would be give an additional $40 billion for pel grants. the wiggest increase since the gi bill. we simply stopped subsidizing

banks. put all that money to young people. that was very controversial in washington. lots of folks fought that. we thought it was absolutely common sense. there are people in congress today who want to scale back pel grants. anybody who thinks with eneed a less educated work force, we need less access to college, that's cutting off our nose to spite our face. >> secretary of education, arnie duncan. thank you, sir. i appreciate it. >> thank so much. president obama honored rebecca milwaukee as the 2012 teacher of the year. the president called her the second generation of above and bond. she allows her second graders to film adaptations of books and write their own plays that professional actors perform. congratulations. now, the feds. do you remember these pictures? the feds have filed the first

john edwards is using campaign donations to hide his admitted affair and his mistresses pregnancy.

the mistress in question, ri le le hunter on the witness stand. a former aide recounted that moment when he broke the news to john edwards that rielle wasn'ter was pregnant. according toth aide, edwards said she's a crazy person, but he used a four-letter word that started with s-l. she's a crazy person and there's a 1 in 3 chance the child belonged to edwards. let's check back with joe johns. obviously some bombshells. what else did you learn from andrew young, the former edwards aid. i have to tell you, brooke, sitting through that almost this morning, you get the sense that this was just a real mess. it was 2007, the middle of 2007.

up pops a mistress saying i'm pregnant. appare apparently, according to the system givenly andrew young today, if she didn't speak to john edwards immediately on that day, she's going public. she said she was tired of living a lie. that begins the scenario you've heard so much about in the news media over the past year or two. tens of thousands, actually hundreds of thousands of dollars coming from big money donors. apparently she did not know what this money was being used for. the money was being used to try to keep rielle hunter happy so

she wouldn't go public. she got moved to the facilitate of north carolina by andrew young. she got a bmw. she got an allowance, $5,000 a month, sometimes up to $12,000 a month. all of this to try to keep her calm. meanwhile, she was still meeting from time to time with john edwards. a fascinating thing from the man on the stand. he said john edwards didn't really get kept up on when the mamts came. he didn't want to know about it because he might be sworn in as attorney general. >> got it. we appreciate you coming in here. police in pittsburgh say

this man an employee, stole more than $2 million from his armored truck that shot his fellow guard in the head. according to local report, the feds apparently arrested him in a [ house in south florida. and the feds have filed the first criminal charge in the gulf oil spill. accused of destroying evidence including dozens of text messages to a supervisor about efforts to stop the cleek leake. the spill, the worst environmental disaster in history. and frightening out of washington, d.c. you see these two dogs. they're on the attack. they're terrorizing these people climbing about the car in this one particular neighborhood. two teens jump on the parked car. the dogs are lunging at them. and someone who live the in the area tossed his body in front of the dogs so the kids could get

>> an actor is hanged during a "passion of the crist" production. time to play "reporter roulette." i do want to begin with the phone hacking scandal that's enveloping rupert murdoch's empire. james murdoch is testifying into the inquiry about how reporters illegally accessed voice mails of celebrities. dan rivers is in london. dan? >> reporter: brooke, another difficult day of questioning for james murdoch, first of all, an't the extent of his knowledge on phone hacking. he said he simply didn't know

the extent of phone hacking, that he hadn't read key e-mails forwarded to him which set out evidence that it wasn't just rogue reporter but, in fact, it was much more widespread than that. that was referred to a minister. and lots mails revealed showing, it is alleged that jeremy hunt was giving them some inside track on that deal. cozy meetings between james

cameron and murdoch in a pub in 2009. the sun newspaper would switch its allegiance from labor to the conservative, timing the announcement of that switch with a big set piece sweet. what a strangle hold the murd h murdochs appear to have even to attending a prechristmas party. brooke? >> an actor sdied in a freak accident during a play "the passion of christ." what happened? >> it's a tragic story.

this young actor playing judas threw a rope over the tree. he was stepping off of a fake rock they built. what police is investigating is what happened next. all they know is that four minutes after he was supposed to have pretended to hang hymn, the other actors knowing he wasn't moving anymore. he was unconscious. he was rushed to a hospital and was actually in a coma for two weeks before he died on sunday and was buried here. police were investigating if it was his safety harness or whether this young actor had accidentally tangled mims up in the stage rope or even his costume trying to make the scene more realistic. according to one of the family members he had made a few

changes in the scenes to try to make it more realistic and that might have been what caused this really terrible tragic accident, brooke. >> it's horrible. i assume they're taking a pause in the play as the investigation is ongoing? >> that's right. i believe you asked about the investigation. and yes, it is ongoing. it could take another 30 days. while they obviously had a chance to see the victim, so investigate his body and the scene itself, they're now matching up the rick around his neck with different cords to see what had actually left that ring around his neck. whether it was the harness, the stage rope or whether it was his own costume. and that will probably be the deciding element here, brooke. >> chad myers with really cool pictures. the northern lights. >> you know, there was a little

bit of a magnetic storm the last couple of nights. and minnesota got it, even iowa had some grief glimpses. >> purples and yellows. >> i have seen this once in my lifetime. >> this is time collapse video. >> pu it is this cool even in reality. i was up in detroit lakes, northern minnesota. just stand there, you're mesmerized by it. it's just so unbelievable. and the greens and the blues and the reds, the closer you are to the pole, the more you'll see the greens and the blues, the farther you are away, like iowa had reds on top. and more pretty pictures. >> if you're space nerds like us, the exhibition is through may 6. you can see really through centuries, different pictures from space. >> yes. this is the art center college of design in pasadena.

use money from his pension to pay off credit cards. >> no. he's going to have to pay income tax when he withdraws from his pension plan and then he's going to have to pay a 10% penalty. he could have to take up to $50,000 out of the pension plan to pay off the $25,000. switch to the lowest interest rate credit card he can find. and after that introduct roy rate is over, six or 12 months, switch to the next lowest interest rate you can possibly find. >> your question comes from jill in new york. she and her husband got a copy of their credit report and showed three collections. she wants to know how they can pay those off and get them expunged from the report. >> she can pay them off, but just paying them doesn't automatically mean it will come off the report. negative information like a collection can stay on your

credit report for up to seven years. so simply paying it off whoent automatically remove it. you can negotiate. reach out to the company and owe and ask whether or not they would agree to delete the information from the 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, we appreciate it. people with a machine. what ? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it ? hello ? hello ?! if your bank doesn't let you talk to a real person 24/7,

what a story. we just thought, we never heard of anything like this. just hearing it on the surface, does it stand up in court? >> it's possible. you have an employer who's in a position of power. there's a clear conflict oof interest. you're using your power to get an employee to give up a body part. then you have the employee giving up perhaps the organ to perhaps get some preferential treatment. what she discriminated against is she has filed this complaint with the commission, i believe, the human rights commission in new york. the new york human rights law is very robust. it's one of the most comprehensive civil rights laws in our country. it protects employees that been diskramed against. so it's quite possible she has some course of action.

>> let me read. this is from the exemployer. >> we treated her appropriately and honorably and acted fairly at every turn. she files this complaint with the human rights commission. is it a human rights violation? >> it's possible. it's a very, very robust law. people are thinking human rights discrimination. it's really more about on the basis of disability. perhaps she was retaliated gechx for her good deed. you're right, no good deed goes unpunished. if you're an em proiee, should you give up your organ to your employer? probably not. >> yeah, yeah. maybe a friend. wow. we'll see what happens. in the meantime, let's talk about the new orleans saints. ton of buzz around this story.

anonymous sources are telling espn the manager of the new orleans saints bugged a suite at the superdome so that he could eavesdrop on the coaches to know their plays for the next week, et cetera. the saints are saying 1,000% false. what would the crime be. >> the electronic communications privacy act prohibits someone from intercepting communications, not just eavesdropping, but intercepting communications by using some sort of device, an electron device, mechanical device. i believe he's alleged to have had this device, 2003, 2003,

2004. federal sa federal statute of limitations, five years. louisiana, five years. that tells me it probably has been excluded from the statute of limitations. they've got two years from when they find out when this happened. perhaps there's some sort of civil dis ordorder. people don't like to be eefs dropped on. >> it's the crux of the game, right? >> the integrity of the game. that's what i think is really at issue here. >> see you back here tomorrow. >> thank you. still ahead, a young girl dies in a violent car crash. police say a drunk driver is to plam in this case. but now the girl's big sister is begging to keep the suspect behind bars. you're gang to hear her heart breaking plea and what happened inside court today. greetings from the windy city of chicago.

the devastating car crash in miami takes the life of a 13-year-old girl. kailey camacho died moments after she was pulled from the crash. and the man who hit them was reportedly drunk. a judge did lower his bond and his family, they are heart broken. they wanted him to stay in jail. her older sister, in fact, took to facebook with an emotional plea just a couple of somedays ago. >> my parents told me she had passed away.

my little sister. she was 13. >> police say a land rover going in excess of 100 miles an hour slammed into the minivan she was riding in. you can see the impact of this collision. it's now sort of split in half. police say sander guillen got out of his vehicle and left the scene. john zarrella is following this story for us in miami. the big sister pleaed for the judge not to lower the bond. the judge lowered the blond today and it's stunning to look at how high the bond was for this kind of charge, correct? >> yeah. to fs a record initially of about $1 million, the initial bond. and when they first went to court and got that $1 million, what they did was the prosecution argued that look, this guy has considerable assets, he's also a flight risk

because he's from nicaragua originally, and when you look at the list of charges that he was facing, vehicular homicide, dui manslaughter, leighing the scene of an accident causing death, leaving the scene of an accident causing injury. driving without a license causing death and injury, there was considerably reason for the initial bond to be placed at $1 million. but his attorney argued in court today, a courtroom, in fact, packed with friends and relatives of the little girl who was killed, the defense's attorney argued look, $45,000 is the normal amount that you would put as bond for the kinds of charges that he faces. in the end, the judge going ahead with a $205,000 bond. and still, he's going to have to raise enough money there to meet that bond, 10%, in order to meet that bond. we don't know whether he's going to get out of court anytime soon. >> yes.

just to see this four-minute piece on facebook from the big sister is later breaking. thank you.

it's just about an hour or two ago speaking on the campus of chapel hill talking about these interest rates. we're waiting andi watching for congress to act after march 1st. he actually sat down with jimmy fallon an interview this turned into the -- the verbatim around it. i want to go with peter with the news that the president made talking to jimmy fallon.

what did he say? >> we believe these are president obama's comments on the unfolding secret service scandal from colombia. jimmy fallon made news and let me read what the president said when asked about the secret service scandal. the secret service, these guys are incredible. they protect me, they protect michelle and protect our girls and protect officials around the world. 99.9% of them every day, they put their lives on the line and do a good job and a couple of knuckleheads shouldn't deprakt what they do. obama praising the secret service and portraying these agents as bad eggs. these are his first comments since the scandal broke in colombia. so it will be interesting to watch tonight. >> right. it's tonight, jimmy fallon. since i have you, peter hamby, i read the story in the chicago tribune about blago in prison

who wants to teach a little shakespeare? >> he does. he talked to his attorney who went to visit him and said blagojevich is in great spirits and is washing dishes in the kitchen and wants to teach greek tragedy and shakespeare in the library at the prison. i think our you vooers should go read an article i read, a former missouri state senator who went to prison on a campaign finance charge. listen to a bunch of advice for blagojevich going to prison. jeff smith is his name. he said that -- he should read a lot. he should teach. he should work out and blagojevich, excuse me, is apparently running four or five miles a day. >> got a nice color and a tan? >> he does. his lawyer says he's a popular figure in prison and people call him gov and back slapping and his advice was hey, you're a politician, but resist those political urges. lay low. you don't want to have a big name and reputation in prison,

kind of observe when you first start there, so we'll see if blagojevich, and it's worth checking out. >> send me the article and i'll retweet you. >> we're moments away with wolf blitzer. let's get a quick sneak peek. wochl, what are you working on today? >> among other thing, we'll get the latest on the investigation in the secret service prostitution scandal. darryl issa, the chairman of the oversight committee will be joining us live in our 4:00 p.m. eastern hour. in our 5:00 p.m. eastern hour, joe olstein is here in "the situation room." i know he has a lot of people who love him, a popular tv show every sunday and we'll talk about what's going on in this nexus between politics and religion. that's always interesting. i know you'll be watching. how do you like the president at your alma mater today? >> look at you again with that

here's why. it's pretty simple. at&t said its iphone sales fell 43% last quarter and verizon saw iphone sales fall 24%. we have growing competition from google's android phones and that's responsible for the slowdown. people are simply getting used to apple's schedule. for example, it frequently rolls out new products in the summer and people are holding out for an iphone 5 and we simply don't know yet. apple's stock is now down 2% to trade at about 560. we've seen it top $644 a share which was its all-time high. >> so is this the time when people have the apple stock? they always say don't panic, don't panic, right? >> don't panic. this will not be a time to sell out. even if it's a slight disappointment, the street may exacerbate it a little bit and blow it out of proportion. this is still a very strong company. there's no question that they have the technology out there and their sales will continue to ramp up. it just may not be at the scale

that we've seen. that doesn't mean that they're going into losses at all and frankly, a lot of analysts out there it gets to reach $700 a share and all things will probably be good for apple and we'll find out in a few minutes' time. >> i feel like i'm helping out in my little way. i appreciate that. thank you so much. since we are there at the market, let's take a quick look at the dow as weir approaching that closing bell, guys. let's go throw up that number right there at that 13,000 mark as the closing bell is about to happen. we'll be looking for that announcement. meantime, football fans before i turn it over to wolf blitzer. we have now learned university of arkansas now has a new head football coach. his name is john smith. he's the one that gets the job. he worked as special teams coach for the razorbacks, there he is, during the 2009 and 2011 seasons and he wasch
