nbc's ron allen joins us now from the federal courthouse and, ron, is there any new indication when we in court? >> reporter: not yet, tamron. it could take a while as you were reporting. the federal government is saying he is providing information. he's talking. they don't want to break that momentum. they want to get as much from him as possible as you can imagine. there are numerous questions about who may have helped him, how he planned to carry out the entire plot, and they want to keep the process going. the minute he walks into court there is a lawyer involved. the information flow perhaps shuts down. the whole situation changes. so it may be some -- may be a while before he actually comes into a courtroom. >> and, ron, do we know if investigators are looking at any other locations specifically his home in connecticut? we know they were there yesterday. are they still out looking around his neighborhood? >> reporter: well, they're trying to piece together his life here and in pakistan. things apparently changed dramatically for him about a year or so ago. he left a good job. his

>> he is the doctor, the son of ron paul, the libertarian republican who did very well in debates but not well with the numbers. rand paul, john,the most interesting candidate in the race because he is a pristine example of what's happening in america. it is anti-washington, anti- establishment, republican as well as democrats. mitch mcconnell's specially picked fellow. rand paul beat him by 25 points. he's not only anti-the welfare state but anti-interventionist foreign policy. in other words, he believes we ought to only have wars that have been declared. he will always have problems. >>red to know about him. eleanor -- >> sorry, go ahead. >> no, i think it's a phenomenon that he's able to do this well. i don't know if it says much about him or the weakness of his alternative. >> he he's not only for small government but no government. when he was asked about his views of the 1964 civil rights act, i think it came up because he held his victory party in a members-only exclusive country club. he said if he were voting in 1964, he would have reworked that part about making businesses

> probably, utah is a pretty conservative state whachlt about kentucky, dan, the race where son the ron paul who ran in 2008. an ophthalmologist, running against the candidate as secretary of state. democrats will probably say that we're elated that rand paul, a big favorite of the tea partiers, they think we can beat him. >> what they're talking about, yeah, his opponent grayson is the candidate of the republican establishment and people are so upset and so angry that they're willing to throw over a member of the establishment like that and elect a fellow like rand paul. let me give you just one other figure that i showed the depth of the anxiety. the wall street journal poll was released this week that said that republicans will be ahead. the thing that jumped out at me was the data on suburban women. four years ago, they supported democrats over republicans by 24 points. >> paul: right. >> today, republicans are marginally ahead. a 26 point swing among suburban women, this reflects deep anxiety and i would not predict that voting for anti-establishment figures is going to hurt the re

ron artest, he had 16. that's his high for this postseason. kobe, 22 of his 30, in the second half. the joker likes it. the lakers with a 2-0 series lead. they take game two, 111-103. >>> game three, red wings/sharks. san jose with a 2-0 series lead. todd bertuzzi, on the wraparound. no. the ref called the penalty shot. roman cotour. penalty shot by zetterberg, denied by evgeni nabokov. wings missed a chance to go up 2-0. later in the second period, zetterberg off of the skate. wings up 3-1. here come the sharks. ties the game at 3-3. we go to overtime. seven minutes into overtime. san jose gets on odd-man rush. joe thornton to patrick marleau for the game-winner. sharks take it 4-3. san jose with a 3-0 series lead. >>> that's a look at sports. i'm anish shroff. back to you in new york. >>> one more note from the sports world this morning. the phoenix suns are putting their political opinions right on their backs. they will be wearing los suns on their jerseys tonight. the decision to wear the jerseys on cinco de mayo expresses the team owner'

that's where nbc's ron mott is this morning. ron, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, mir daereditht of the lights have returned here to downtown nashville but there is still block after block of darkness along the cumberland river which is receding, though leaving a huge mess in her wake. overhead, the flood's destructive and deadly reach was obvious tuesday. airplanes sat grounded under water. so did the grand ole opry and opry land hotel. the expansive opry land which could be shuttered for months is key to convention and tourism revenue here, host to 3,000 hotel rooms just at this location now closed for repair. on the ground in neighborhoods, the toll is harder to quantify yet easy to see as residents anxious to check their damaged homes are left to wait for the coast to clear. some who returned could only watch, still seemingly stunned by what happened over the weekend so quickly. >> nobody knew that the water was going to come down this way. we didn't hear no sirens. >> reporter: jorge at least got inside his house wad

ron gardenhire. >> mike: that depends on what he feels about the track.ase. that has something to do with it, so i guess under that condition the answer has been no. >> gary: unless you're a super seauer. one-strike out on orlando hudson. >> mike: you're in for the real power, the left-handed power and that's why ohman is up at the bullpen and he may have told him this is your last hitter either way, but thome is back-to-back, and that would be a threat. >> gary: bergesen, the long hold and the 0-1 deliver whether i. down to first base, and it will go off the glove. wigginton will back it up and hold up the runner. hughes is trying to make the play and it will bounce off his glove where two down, the twins have runners at first and second base. >> mike: it guess off the heel of hughes' glove. >> gary: so that is going to be it. brad bergesen, unquestionably his best performance of the season. he will leave with a chance to be the winning pitcher in this ballgame. will ohman will come out of the pen. seventh inning, two on and two down. crisp? geico. fifte

ron paul was fantastic in his debate, and being demeaned by fox news. i think he represents the true represent -- republican party. what we have seen in the past 15 years is the emergence of the neocons, starting with the bush era. i wanted to know about what you thought about his chances? as a democrat, i would even vote for him. guest: as far as ron paul is concerned, i guess you are talking about his prospects for 2012. we had midterm elections in six months. that will be in a tactful to what happens in 2012. number one come it is about who in the party will be responsive to the people. which party cares about the opinions of the people? which party will pursue an agenda that will get the economy going again? republicans have been focused over the past year and a half, on trying to work with this administration and majority in congress. unfortunately, speaker pelosi in her majority have been unwilling to work in a bipartisan fashion to fix the problems that people are facing. we have got to cut the deficit, we have to change the culture in washington

ron holden was actually, appear to be locked in state in which he was fully awake and aware but unable to communicate. that is a state that does exist. about 40% of vegetative state diagnoses and air. and our people are thought to be completely unaware who are aware. i don't want to get off in bioethics, but there are many in bioethics is a that's even more reasons take away the food and water orgy euthanize them. because they are suffering. but that's a subject for a different speech. >> i agree fully with human exceptionalism. but my rational basis for that is mankind created an image of god. are the people who hold the human exceptionalism but reject the idea of mankind may be an image of god and get some other rationale? >> yes. in fact, i spend maybe a page in the have in my book on religion. because religion would generally with christian view made in the likeness and image of god. buddhists don't take the view, but i don't think that they believe that animals have rights that they do believe we have duties towards animals and make it into karma. i think there's a wholly rational
