let's listen to what he had to say. >> our advice to the winner, to the extent we give any advice is good advice. hopefully they will reach out to trusted advocates for them financially and legally.

pushing congress to pass the so-called buffett rule. the idea, which is named after billionaire warren buffett, would make people who earn more than a million dollars a year pay higher share of their

been on that bus. >> only thing is the film went from an r rating to no rating at all. who can watch it and where? [ male announcer ] lately, there's been a seismic shift in what passes for common sense. used to be we socked money away and expected it to grow. then the world changed... and the common sense of retirement planning became anything but common. fortunately, td ameritrade's investment consultants can help you build a plan that fits your life. take control by opening a new account or rolling over an old 401(k) today, and we'll throw in up to $600. how's that for common sense? and we'll throw in up to $600. i bathed it in miracles. director: [ sighs ] cut! sorry to interrupt. when's the show? well, if we don't find an audience, all we'll ever do is rehearse. maybe you should try every door direct mail. just select the zip codes where you want your message to be seen, print it yourself, or we'll help you find a local partner and you find the customers that matter most. brilliant. clifton, show us overjoyed. no, too much. jennessa. ah! a round of applause. [ applause ] [ male announcer ] go online to reach every home, every address, every time with every door direct mail. at meineke i have options... like oil changes starting at $19.95. my money. my choice. my meineke. all right. this is what's happening right now. many places across the country, there are rallies, continued rallies for trayvon martin, the 17-year-old that was killed in sanford, florida. right now a very sizable rally taking place led by the naacp in sanford, florida. thousands of people, as can you see right here in these live images, made their way to the sanford police department. in large respect we heard from reporting from george howell earlier. they are demanding the arrest of the shooter of trayvon martin. the man by the name of george zimmerman. still no arrest. no movement from the police department in terms of offering new information today about the investigation and where it stands. we see a variation of points of view here, the live images out of sanford, florida and the large number of people who have turned out to this naacp rally. >> we'll continue to keep tabs and give you updates. meantime they are tough guys right now. but some wrestling stars know what it's like to be bullied, they say. world wrestling entertainment superstars are making the rounds now with anti-bullying messages. some wwe superstars are telling personal stories of being bullied as a kid. part of an international effort to stop bullying. that effort is called, be a star. meantime the film "bully," an eye-opening documentary about bullying in schools opened this weekend unrated. producers fought the r rating the motion picture association gave it and decided to release the movie without a rating at all. in the movie they follow five kids who are victims of bullying and show some of the horrors they endure every day. >> how can i help you guys. >> my voice is shaking. i'm very upset. i'm going to be honest. i'm upset enough i don't want him to ride the bus anymore. >> move. move. >> what? >> if they are out of your care they are in someone else who is just as capable of keeping them safe and i don't feel like you. >> i've ridden 54. i've been on that route. i've been on a couple of them. they are just as good as gold. >> it is hard to watch. the producers know that. cynthia is a writer, producer of "bully." cynthia, good to see you. so you -- >> good morning, fredricka. thank you. >> you and other producers, director, i spoke with lee hirsch recently all fought for a pg-13 rating so more kids could see the movie. the mowings picture association felt pretty certain it needed to be r rating because in large part there were profanities laced throughout the film. when you lost that fight with the motion picture association to drop that rating so more people, more kids, in particular, would be able to see it, you decided to release it as unrated. do you feel like this is a victory or defeat? >> i think this is a commitment to make sure that we do not participate in glossing over what 13 million american kids are experiencing in this country every year. we have the mpaa gave us an r rating for six uses of f word. unfortunately, this is language many kids in this country hear every time they get on their school bus, every time they get in their schools, in the halls, in their communities. we felt like in a film that is honestly about depicting stories and experiences of kids who are bullied that we are not able to do this unless we honestly tell the story. unfortunately this is language that is used as a weapon of bullying. therefore we felt like we needed to make a commitment to keeping that language in the film and to making sure that we really don't look the other way. >> so when i spoke with your director hirsch a few weeks ago and asked him why not bleep out some of the language, he said it would minimize the experience of bullying. if you had done that, you would have reached a larger audience. so is this kind of the compromise you felt you had to contend with? this was the only route to go? >> i think we will reach a very, very broad audience. i think we're reaching kids, i think we're reaching educators. we're reaching parents. nearly half a million people signed the petition on change.org urging mpaa to lower the rating on this film to pg-13. those signatures were not just signatures, they were stories from many people who are saying regardless of this rating we want to see this film. we want to access this film. this is our story. we want our voices to be heard. >> how and where will people see it? unrated films aren't necessarily shown in all theaters. they may be in a more limited capacity. >> absolutely. we have gotten great support from the amc theaters that are going to be releasing this film. they are going to be making it accessible to young people who come with or without their parents as long as they have a form of permission. they have a release on their site, on the amc site so kids can download it. they are going to bring written notes. amc has taken a really great stand along with us to say parents are aware of what the language is is this film but they also know there's been a call from so many people across this country saying this film is something kids really need to be able to see whether or not they are able to attend the theater with their parents that day. so i think that that's really an incredible stand they are taking with us. the car mike theaters are also screening this film. they will treat it as an r. parents will be able to bring their kids to see it. i think we're seeing a lot of people engage in the dialogue saying how can we make this accessible? how can we provide guidance for kids to see this film but also make sure it's something they can access. >> those theaters committed to it. is it your hope other filmmakers, producers of this project that perhaps school districts or a number of schools will commit to showing these in their assemblies, right there on campus. is that possible? >> absolutely. that was one of our biggest hopes with this film is that we would be able to get this film in front of educators, in front of administrators -- >> is it still possible. >> in school settings. >> with a no rating, is it still possible for you? >> i think that common sense media has given this film a pg-13 plus rating, the same rating given to "hunger games." we're hoping teachers and administrators across the country will stand with us. we had a screen last night with united federation of teachers. they all said we want this film in our classes. we want this film in our schools. every principal we've shown this film to said i'm bringing this film to my school. i know this film is something that needs to be shown to kids in middle and high school. i think we're asking everyone to really partner with us and say we want to provide kids' guidance but we want them to see it. >> cynthia, one of the writers and producers of "bully," thanks for your time. perhaps we'll have an opportunity for a follow-up on that on what the school districts ultimately have to say. thank you so much. >> thank you so much, fredricka. all right. there is no question that tim tebow is a hot commodity these days. so much so that two major shoemakers are battling over the jets quarterback. our legal guys take a look at who will get sidelined in this lawsuit next. nike or reebok. our top stories right now, there are at least three winning tickets in last night's mega millions drawing. lottery officials have confirmed tickets were sold in maryland, illinois, and kansas. according to maryland lottery officials the payout will be $656 million. so we want to know, what would you do if you won that kind of money. tweet me @fwhitfield and i'll read some of your comments. the food and drug administration says it will not ban the use of bpa in food packaging. they do plan to research more on its health affects. an informal group wanted the compound banned. fda says the ruling may change when information is visible on health risks, if any. apple is being sued by an 83-year-old woman for a million dollars. let's bripg in ong in our legal avery friedman and richard herman, defense attorney from las vegas. good to see you as well. let's talk about this case of 83-year-old woman who said they walked into a long island apple story. before schett into the store she walked into that glass facade you see in so many apple stores across the u.s. and around the world then broke her nose. avery, she's claiming this store was negligent. they should do more to offer more protections for its customers who come in. does she have a point? >> no. i think the reasonable person walking into an all glass door using reasonable amount of caution would probably not run into this. there are literally millions walking in and out. i'm sorry for her. she did not see the door. i feel terrible. bonked her schnozz, i'm sorry it broke. the test is reasonableness. was it foreseeable? i don't think any jury on earth, fredricka, is going to determine that the design of the door is unreasonable. i don't bee it. >> richard, everyone has walked into a glass door, sliding glass door or something. i think most could empathize. this never happened to you avery? >> come on. >> sure screens and doors, sure, happens all the time. >> because it does happen, richard, doesn't the store knowing hundreds of people come through all the time, don't they have to put something up to make sure that people see this is glass. doesn't miss passwell have a point? you're shaking your head no. >> they would love you on the jury. they would love you on the jury. fred, if there was a pattern of people banging their heads into the glass in the store, then, and only then, i think would apple have a responsibility to put a warning to advise. >> no precedent. >> fred, listen. this is also in a very conservative jurisdiction in new york. i mean, a broken nose case at best may get $25,000. this jury is going to give her a doughnut. she'll be bounced out of court. she'll get nothing. they won't be sympathetic to her. you have to look where your walking. otherwise you assume the risk. she's done. she's going to get nothing, fred. >> gosh, you guys are tough. maybe she's going to happen you're not in the jury pool. >> right. >> let's move onto something else all the rage in the new york area. tim tebow making his way to become a jet. but wait there is a real scrap going on between nike and reebok, avery. this being one of the makers decided to go ahead and make the product with his name on before the other would become the official nfl merchandise producer. so what's at issue here? nike is suing reebok. >> yeah. nike as of today takes over as the official shoemaker for the nfl. in anticipation of losing the contract, what reebok did after the trade from denver to new york, they grabbed tim tebow and started cranking out tebow stuff. well, nike claims, well, look, the deadline is today. that's not fair. it's unfair. it's violating certain intellectual property rights. therefore, we think we're entitled to relief. actually what happened here, fredricka, is that tim tebow's lawyers jumped in. on march 1st, reebok lost all rights to tebow's name. they went ahead and this past week a federal district judge granted a restraining order against reebok from putting any more material out there and making any more marketing on behalf of themselves. >> even though that production, richard, took place before the handover? they wouldn't be able to sell that product? >> fred, you don't tug on superman's cape. nike has the contract now. reebok had it for 10 years. asafry said it expired march 1st before the tebow trade. in order to produce and manufacture merchandise with the tebow name on it and everything, you need two nfl property rights, one by the nfl and one by tebow. reebok had neither. nike had both. because he's the newest thing in the world right now, tebow coming to new york. people are going to flock to buy these first run jerseys with tebow's number and jersey, jets, tebow. >> what do they do with the merchandise now? do they have to toss it? >> there's going to be a forensic accounting done against reebok. it's going to get hit for enrichment. it might settle. i have the complaint here, the southern district of new york complaint. it's a dynamite complaint. reebok hasn't responded but i don't know what their defense will be. >> it will settle. more to talk about, not reebok and nike but another case i want to bring you back in 20 minutes to talk about that, andrea yates. remember that name? she was the mother who drowned her five kids 10 years ago in texas. now she's looking to get a little bit of freedom out of a mental hospital in order to go to church. we're going to explore that with avery and richard. new surveillance video from a school bus overturned during that tornado outbreak last month. >> everybody stay together. our group together. right now. go, go, go, go, go! >> how a school bus driver saved nearly a dozen kids from being tossed by a twister. that's next. team ruben constart -- we bring these veterans together to be a part of a team once again. they are almost recharged. >> you get out and have that feeling of what are you really doing that's important in the world. team rub provided a need. >> most is emergency triage, chile, sudan, pakistan. here at home we've been in tuscaloosa, joplin doing debris removal. we have about 80 military veterans. helping other people is part of the healing process. >> i can't thank you all enough. >> there's really no limit to what veterans can do. we have the ability to help and want to serve. i think it's a win-win situation. ♪ [ female announcer ] introducing new nature valley protein bars. 100% natural ingredients like roasted peanuts... ♪ ...creamy peanut butter, and a rich dark chocolate flavor. plus, 10 grams of great tasting protein in every bar. so it's energy straight from nature to you. new nature valley protein bars. find them in the granola bar aisle. 8% every 10 years.age 40, we can start losing muscle -- new nature valley protein bars. wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle loss with exercise and ensure muscle health. i've got revigor. what's revigor?

>> you did. >> what's going on there? >> it's called the faith and freedom forum so these candidates are talking about issues of concerns to christian evangelicals. let me note rick santorum is speaking now so i'm drawing from my inner voice. in terms of what he's talking about, one things he mentioned, keep in mind these candidates are actively courting christian vote irs in wisconsin. rick santorum said a few moments ago, sided a critic said you know whether or not, someone said it would be twake an act o god for me to win the race. i believe in god. that's what you're hearing. you know the primaries on tuesday. one thing we didn't hear earlier from newt gingrich and mitt romney is them go after each other. we've heard a lot of this on the campaign trail but a little bit less of that now. we know my colleague rachel has been reporting mitt romney is pivoting to the general election his speeches aiming them more in a general election mode. newt gingrich, newt gingrich is actually going after mitt romney a little bit less as i've been following him lately. fred. >> i wonder if that's in large part, at least for mitt romney, he's getting a lot of heavy duty endorsements from big names in the republican party. that's boosting his confidence. you do have to wonder what is that doing to newt gingrich and rick santorum. they aren't getting those kinds of endorsements. >> that's right. they are not. they are losing out on the big ones. three big ones mitt romney just got, george h.w. bush, the former president, florida senator marco rubio and the very popular congressman paul ryan from here. so yeah, there's a sense that mitt romney may have this thing wrapped up by a lot of supporters. >> very fascinating. shannon travis, thanks so much from wisconsin. appreciate that. of course you want to join us sunday 4:00 eastern time for a special hour focusing on the 2012 presidential contenders. making the road rules friendly for amish buggy drivers in kentucky a bill has been passed. is it a religious victory or traffic hazard? our legal guy weigh in next. all right. a battle over religious rights and public safety. the general assembly passed legislation to allow the amish to use reflective tape instead of orange safety triangles on the back of their horse drawn buggies. avery cleveland and richard herman, gentlemen, one more time. an issue of religious freedom versus traffic safety. there was an alternative that everyone seemed to be happy with, richard. the amish said these safety triangles were -- they objected to. they said, you know, these were -- representative symbols of the trinity they are not allowed to display. what's the alternative? how are they going to be safe and at the same time their religion respected. >> i guess people are crashing into buggies in kentucky. i don't know why the triangle couldn't be made into a square. wouldn't that be the simplest thing? any event it's now a silver reflective taping they are putting on the back of these buggies so that cars, on coming cars can see them and avoid crashing into these buggies. i don't know. you're right, fred, you're claiming the triangle represents the trinity and that violates religion. they were getting fined and going to prison for not paying fines. the governor has to sign off on it. i don't know which way he'll go. couldn't the triangle be a silver square? come on. >> avery, if in kentucky this is taking place. what about places like pennsylvania where there's a significant amish community. might we see pennsylvania following kentucky's lead or the other way around. >> i hope so. i'm intrigued. i'm respect of the amish and orange triangle, indeed, is the trinity. it's unholy to display it. this is a wonderful compromise. governor martin bashir in kentucky the sign the legislation. we're going to see it in pennsylvania and other states. i think this is a wonderful balance between public safety and religious freedom. i think it's a wonderful way of resolving a real crisis, not only people being arrested, people being killed because they wouldn't put the trinity, triangle up. a wonderful ending to the story. >> let's move to another story in texas, andrea yates. many people might not recall her name but remember what happened back in 2001 she drowned her five children. at the time she called 911. her message was she killed her children and satan asked her to do it. now she's in a mental institution after pleading insanity in that second trial, avery. she's in this state mental hospital. now she says she's found a congregation that will welcome her to leave comp us, go to church -- leave campus, go to church. how will the court respond to this? what are they going to think about the idea of her leaving campus for a church visit? >> i have some strong feelings about this. i covered andrea yates trial and did commentary in 2001. she murdered five children based on religious beliefs, fredricka, she murdered them. now she's arguing i want other religious training and somehow i would be free to do that. i would feel a lot better if someone were employing science in do doing this. it's in texas, south texas. believe it or not, i believe they are going to let her out so she can go to church. i think there's something wrong with that especially when they have not considered the science of the consequences. >> richard, the last 20 seconds on this. what will the court entertain. what are the things they will consider. >> they are going to get letters from her doctor that say it's a good thing for therapy. not guilty by reason of insanity. she killed those children. only six years has gone by. it took hinckley 19 years, john hinckley 19 years to be able to get out for a little bit. i don't think they are going to go for it in texas. i'll be ashamed if they go for it in texas. this woman, she has to pay for -- fred, i have people on facebook say she's going to try to plea bargain her way into heaven. that's why she wants to go to church. satan told her to kill those children, now she wants to go to church. bad, bad, bad. >> rich herman, avery friedman, great to see you every weekend. thank you. >> good to see you. >> fred, you said if you won the lottery, you'd be at work today?
