governor, the governor of his home state. is this all a publicity stunt? he'll join us live. thursday, april 26th. "starting point" starts right now. jay-z and alicia keys "empire state of mind." joining us in a minute to talk about that big supreme court case over arizona's immigration law. abby huntsman, political commentator and daughter of jon huntsman, john fugelsang, comic and a regular here and will contain, columnist for the blaze.com. protesters demonstrating in the streets of phoenix yesterday. five other states have similar laws. this supreme court decision could have a national impact. inside the courtroom, hints of support for arizona's law from the justices.

antonin scalia said it may be okay for the states to step in if the federal government is not doing its job. quote, what does state sovereignty mean if it does not include the ability to defend your borders? and the law could be upheld if, quote, no significant number of people are detained for a significantly longer period of time, justice stephen breyer said. famously came out as an undocumented worker in a famous "new york times" op-ed last year. it ai lot of people are saying it looks as though the supreme court is hinting, suggesting at least from the questioning that they're in support of this law. what are you gathering? what is your reaction from yesterday's events? >> i was actually on the steps of the supreme court yesterday. it was quite a scene. what's really staggering here is what's going to happen now. i mean, if the most

controversial provisions get upheld, anyone can get stopped for any -- any inkling that the person might be undocumented. how do you know that? i'm undocumented. would you know that i were undocumented? i don't think you could know that just by looking at somebody. and -- >> i want to talk a little bit. you wrote a blog for the huffington post and said sb-1070 has become synonymous with anti-immigrant fervor, with racial profiling, with being brown, with being latino with, being, quote, the other as a crime in a demographically changing america. the government said no, this is not about profiling. >> i was rather stumped by that. you know, somebody -- i travelled in about -- i've done 60 events in 20 states in ten months, being in alabama, arizona and texas. there's definitely racial profiling going on and people have been stopped. i don't know if you heard about alabama in terms of the law they

passed there. it was inspired by the arizona law, which is why everybody is watching what's happening in arizona. what's happening in arizona is really important. >> let's talk about what the liberal justice said. even they seem skeptical here. essentially asked the federal government what's the problem if -- you talked about people being stopped. what's the problem if, quote, all that happens is the person, the policeman makes a phone call. what if the federal statute could conflict with that? this is about stopping somebody for other violations, right? and then from there checking legal status. >> i mean, this is what it comes down to, right? at the end of the day, the federal government is in charge of immigration, not states. and what we have here is if these provisions come into play, can you imagine the you state of america having, say, 50 different -- 50 different policies for each state when it deals with immigration? >> the states are arguing that the government hasn't done the job.

>> right. >> r has selectively -- will cain wants to jump in here. >> while racial profiling might be an emotional aspect on the steps outside the courts, that argument did not have anything to do with what took place inside the court yesterday. racial profiling simply wasn't part of the arguments. what this was about was about preemption and whether or not the federal government has exclusive rights to enforce immigration laws or whether the states can take part in that. you brought up a patchwork of laws. what's different than how we deal with drug laws or firearm laws? we have a patchwork of laws across every state in this nation. isn't that part of the whole design? >> but that's not what the constitution says. that's not what the constitution says the government's role is when it comes to this issue. and, again, let's get back to the point. two-thirds of americans, poll after poll has shown, right, that they want a crackdown on

undocumented immigrants who are criminals but want to provide a path to legalization for people who are the good guys. what's happening with a law like arizona and alabama are the good guys are getting stopped and not just the undocumented people. we're talking about people who are american citizens getting stopped. i'm sure you've heard about the scathing report against sheriff joe arpaio by the justice department last september. >> good morning, jose. this is john fugelsang. has this law ever inconvenienced a white person and will this law ever inconvenience a white person? >> this law inspired the alabama law and they actually stopped somebody who is a mercedes dealership guy in alabama. yes, it has actually impacted a white person. >> in alabama? >> in alabama. >> jose is right, a mercedes executive, a german national, was stopped and asked for his passport and papers. he didn't have them and spent a

night in the county jail. >> this is in an election year. >> these laws have been going on for years. the states have been -- and many states are considering laws because they say the federal government hasn't done their job. going to the supreme court, the supreme court will weigh in on this. >> i'm glad you brought politics up. this will continue to heat up through the general election. romney said at a debate in february that he thought arizona was a model for immigration. i'm wondering what your opinion is for someone like governor romney, who had to veer so far to the right in the primary months and now is having to come to the middle. is it possible for him to start appealing to these minority groups? does he just need to kind of accept the dream act that rubio is bringing out? what does he need to do to get the trust of these minority groups? >> i have one statistic for you. every 30 seconds an hispanic person in america turns 18 years old and becomes eligible to vote, right? it's highly likely that that person, that american citizen

who is eligible to vote has a family member who is undocumented, has an aunt or an unc uncle, or a mother, or a cousin or a brother. what's been staggering about how we politicize immigration is that how we fail to realize that these people, undocuments, illegal people are integrated in every part of society, right? they're not just somebody's -- they're not just over there. they're actually part of our society. >> reporter: that's a conversation, a demographic, emotional and political conversation being had at all levels, but the legal conversation being had at the supreme court is really interesting. >> it is. >> quite fascinating to watch. jose, good to see you this morning. we'll keep checking in with you as this process continues. >> thank you. let's head to zoraida for the headlines. >> strippers and prostitutes were part of the culture in the secret service. prior to president obama's trip there in march 2011, that source

says about a dozen agents and some military personnel got, quote, wasted at a strip club and paid for the v.i.p. area. homeland security secretary janet napolitano who oversees the secret service says this is not typical behavior. >> to your knowledge, is this the first time something like this has happened? >> there was nothing in the record to suggest that this behavior would happen. >> the secret service tells cnn it has no comment. but one source says, quote, the reaction by our leadership speaks for itself. >> the government's star witn s witness, andrew young is accused of lying about his ex-boss and trying to make money from his downfall. edwards left the courthouse smiling. listen to what he told his daughter. >> sun's out. >> yeah, i know. >> in more ways than one. >> young returns to the stand later this morning for more

cross examination. and the parents of 6-year-old arizona girl isabel celis speaking out for the first time, begging for her safe return. >> we are here today to play -- to plea for the 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. >> isabel was reported missing last saturday morning. tucson police say they scaling back their search, but there is a $30,000 reward offered. if you have information, you are urged to call police. minding your business, new this morning, chrysler announcing it quadrupled its earnings in the first quarter compared to the same period a year ago. they raked in $473 million in the first three months of the year, more than four times the $116 million it brought in just

a year ago. and looking at the markets, u.s. stocks poised to open slightly lower this morning after a strong rally yesterday. trading expected to be choppy today as they wrestle between strong earnings reports and stability of the european union. and if you're on the market -- or in the market for a new mortgage, now you can pick one up at costco. >> oh, no. >> the warehouse store is rolling out a full mortgage lending program. seriously, folks, 10,000 people have taken out home loans with costco. you tweeted this out this morning, christine. i thought no way. >> it's true. i wonder if it's going to be bigger than i need and come with two 25-gallon jars of peanut butter that i won't be able to eat over five years. no, it's costco. and it's interesting because the costco customer has higher than average income. this might be a perfect demographic. thanks, zoraida. >> thank you. just give the kid a ball.

kevin powell, whose new book is a collection of essays called

barack obama, ronald reagan and the ghost of dr. king in which he writes there is no denying each, at his specific time, has been both a catalyst and a lightning rod for the raw nerves of this rocky but grand experiment we call the american democracy. good morning. >> morning. >> why unite these three for the title? >> you look at the last 40, 45 years in american history, there's no denying that ronald reagan, barack obama and dr. king have been some of the most important figures in terms of inspiring, leading to reactions and all kinds of movements in this country. dr. king, the civil rights movement, ronald reagan is the leader of the conservative movement and barack obama, what he has represented the last four or five years as a presidential candidate, including that historical election in 2008 and all the racks to him since then. i don't think there are any other figures in my mind that have had the kind of impact they've had on american history. >> tie in ronald reagan for me. some would say i can see barack

obama and dr. king and what they've done for the left. tie in ronald reagan for me. >> conservative movement has -- speaking as not a progressive but a liberal. the reagan era really shaped a lot of conversations we're having to this day around immigration, which you just talked about, issues around voter laws around the country. even talk about what's happening withstand your ground law that is tied to george zimmerman and the trayvon martin tragedy. >> the most recent essay, a letter to trayvon martin where you write of the night he was shot. this is what you said. mr. zimmerman has become your judge, juror and your executioner in a single bound of racist logic. your life, gone. the final waves of magic of barack obama's historic election, gone. myths and lies that mern america had become a post-racial society, gone. >> let me say this, first and foremost, i see us all as sisters and brothers in this country. i believe in this grand experiment, as i said, called the american democracy.

we would be lying to ourselves if we did not acknowledge that racism, sexism, homophobia and all kinds of ils still ills still divide our country. >> i think we are having those conversations. >> i think we're yelling at each other, pointing fingers at each other. it's tragic you can go back to the 1850s, 1860s and you saw native whites having beef, quote, unquote, to foreign whites from other places, and here we are in 2012 still having those conversations about immigration. it shows that we haven't had real conversations about what it is to be an american and who should get to have the american experience. >> some of the comments from the justices, looking at the law, not at the emotional issue of racial profiling and race, but just the law. that could stand. >> it could stand. and i think that it would be tragic. when you talk about the people

that are affected by it, i support immigration rights in this country. i think everyone has a right to come to this country. again, except for slavery, it was built on the backs of immigrant people. everyone here -- >> that's the american experience. >> absolutely. >> everyone agrees about that. but everyone in the world would want to come here. there has to be a system. the question is, we have a system that is a legal system that's broken, an illegal system that's broken. >> i agree. >> and there isn't political will to fix it. >> the solution is not to basically -- i agree with jose, who was on this previous piece, to profile certain types of people. i've been all over this country, probably all 50 states at this point. when you have people who are hardworking folks, whose children were born in this country, paying taxes in this country, and they're saying you don't have a right to be here, there's something fundamentally wrong with that. >> deportations are up with this president. >> that's right. i don't support that. >> we see your complaints about not enforcing the law. we're going to enforce the law.

this will be a precursor to that comprehensive immigration. did that comprehensive immigration reform down the road. >> it's good to see you. thank you for writing the book. >> this is number 11 actually. >> right on. >> congratulations. >> dr. king is remembered as a civil rights icon. at the time of his death he was as much a symbol for labor rights and nonviolence. >> that's right. >> how do you think dr. king, honestly, would view president obama in light of the issue of nonviolence and resistance to militaryism? >> i think he would be opposed to the wars that have been happening and what are we doing about poor people in this country of all backgrounds? ultimately the civil war wasn't about black people but benefit for all people, americans with disabilities. what are we doing to create job opportunities? people are suffering out here, you know. i think he would really, really push that. it was like economic opportunity.

silver lining came at the bottom of the ninth when -- who won? guys, who won? >> oh, that's funny. >> texas rangers, best team in baseball. >> rat poison in the closet over there. any of you yankee fans need to put something in his caffeine, there it is. >> these people, it's okay. president bush, if you're watching, and want to work on the legacy, go after these people. you'll be the most popular ex-president in mencht. >> already is very popular in that state. from the white house party crasher to the governor's mansion. what? in virginia? tareq salahi is a name you all know. maybe you don't know him but a lot of people do. is this a stunt? we'll talk to him, coming up. so-called death race, run down a new jersey highway led by a police escort, of course. you're watching "starting point." our science teacher helped us build it. ♪ now i'm a geologist at chevron, and i get to help science teachers. it has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller.

we have hunting limitations but native americans don't have to abide by those limitations. distinguish this for me from that. they've been hunting whales for thousands of years. it's a cultural tradition they've held on to. is it because they're an endangered species, your opposition i'm talking about? >> yes. it's a threatened species. >> there's another local fisherman angle i want you to listen to and then we'll get your reaction. >> this isn an animal like a co, chicken or pig. it has a better life than most captured animals. it lives in the wild for 20, 30 years and gets killed in a matter of a few minutes. >> the fisherman say it's like another animal like a cow, pig or chicken. has a great life for 20, 30 years and is killed in a matter

of seconds. >> i've seen the grind myself. it takes more than a couple more seconds. i've seen it take several minutes to kill one of these pilot whales. these are not single animals that are being targeted. these are entire pods of pilot whales that are being wiped out. these are mothers. these are calves, entire pods that are getting wiped out. they're not even eating the whale meat. it is so heavy in heavy metal contents that it's actually poisoning the people in the faroes and their chief medical officer, their equivalent to the surgeon general, recommends that they don't eat the whale meat at all. >> i was reading a list of warnings about eating whale bluber. although i've not had an opportunity or chance or inclination to. if you are of child-bearing years, you shouldn't. if you have other health problems, you shouldn't. a long list of restrictions for actually eating this. i think it comes down to a cultural -- is this a cultural issue for the faroees and they see you guys as outsiders that

don't understand? >> or a financial one. >> or a function one. >> they do see us as outsiders to some regard but these pilot whales don't belong to the faroe islands. they belong to the world. they have their own right to exist and migrate past the faroe islands every year. culture and tradition has been used to justify all kinds of cruelty throughout history, subtreatment human of women to all kinds of injustices. >> since this has obviously been going for thousands of years and something that's very important to them. >> one of the interesting things about this show "whale wars:viking shores" shows both sides to this issue and does introduce the faroees viewpoint on it. we're met with a large degree of -- >> skepticism. >> aggression. >> aggression. >> we've had people throwing things at us. people have threatened to slit my throat. >> is it because their livelihoods and jobs are threatened by your actions?

>> by no means. they have very high incomes, benefits and services we have here. they simply want to hang on to this tradition. i should say it's not all faroees for this hunt. >> is it more cultural than financial? do you have people in the faroees who are publicly supporting you? >> there is no really financial aspect to it at all. there is support for what we do in the faroe islands. >> it's simply a custom? >> it is. almost like a coming of age. once you turn the age of 14, you get to be one of these so-called killing men and wait on shore as these pilot whales are driven up on the beach and be one of the people who helps to sever their spinal cord. >> you said these whales don't blob belong to them and, therefore, this cultural norm should not be accepted. are you opposed to all hunting? >> what we specifically go out to do is oppose marine mammal slaughter. and one of the reasons we're so

focused in the faroe islands is this is the single largest mass slaughter of a species in the midatlantic. >> slicing them open on the beach. >> faroe islands. >> it's captivating to watch, the film and how you've put it together. it's a series "whale wars: viking shores." a dad whose son has autism wire taps his son to listen to his teachers. we'll find out what happened. tareq salahi says this is for real. it is a political move got a publicity stunt. we'll ask him to clarify that next. from abby's playlist, eric church "bruce springsteen." peter. i can see that you're busy... but you were gonna help us crunch the numbers for accounts receivable today.

house wives of d.c., $13 million lawsuit against your soon-to-be ex-wife, who left and took up with a journey rocker. why should the public assume this isn't just another publicity stunt? >> it's not. a lot of people think it might be part of a tv show. it's not. i love virginia. i'm taking it very seriously. i have passion for virginia. i've been living there my whole life. i'm excited about this. currently the virginia attorney general has been making personal attacks against me and i said enough is enough. >> you mentioned the attorney general. you say you would like to be governor of the state where the attorney general has filed suit against you with regard to your business dealings of your winery. which roadways a lot of legal questions. >> it's really against him. the virginia of ag has been doing these personal attacks against me. he's doing this to grandstand,
