men and women watching us now on the american network. we'll have plenty of coverage throughout the morning on what's happening in new york today. but we need to start with norway. the suspect in those horrific attacks says he did it and he did it all by himself. that's what police say they are hearing from the suspect in the norway massacre. a memorial you're seeing here and hearing is under way for the victims going on in norway. at least 92 people died in two attacks, but there's still some young people missing on utoyi island. the suspect, anders behring breivik is expected to be in
3:02 am
court tomorrow for the first time. the attorney says his client described the attacks as horrible, but necessary. he says breivik will explain that in court. police aren't done looking for possible suspects, anyone that may have helped him plan or carry out the attacks. they say the investigation may taim take time because they're going to look into every possible angle. do you see this? that's the suspect. that's him in a uniform holding a rifle. it's part of a 1,500 page online manifesto supposedly written by the suspect. here is some of what we know about the suspect. breivik is a right wing fundamentals and is against immigration. one store owner says breivik because six tons of fertilizer in may. he has no background or military record until now.
3:03 am
>> a document has appeared which was sent to a politician which really details the workings of this man's mind who is charged with both attacks. it's a document that apparently took him nine years to write, really detailing his far right anti-immigrant views. it contains photos of him that haven't been published over the last few days. it contains details for his plans for friday's attacks and it contains a very chilling entry where he says i believe this will be my last entry. it is july 22nd, 12:51. and, of course, it was only a few hours later that that first blast occurred. t.j. >> thanks, as always, to dana. today is wedding day for many same-sex couples in the new

york. t today is the day when couples are allowed to apply for marriage licenses. some married couples are getting to waive the standard 24-hour waiting period after you get that marriage license. so they are ready to get married today. i talked to one of the couples getting married today. >> we did have the idea of getting married already in our heads. we couldn't think of a better time than to do it at the most historical moment. >> we've been living together as a married couple for a while now, but it's more about something that we dreamed about. we pushed so hard for it. we told our friends on facebook to call congressman and ask for this law. it's going be like a dream come true. >> they're not the only ones, of course. some weddings too much after midnight last night. and late, 8:30, eastern time,
3:05 am
we'll take you live to new york to a ceremony, again, a big day for new york. a lot of those couples able to get married today. meanwhile, texas governor and potential presidential candidate rick perry weighed in on his own opinion on the same-sex issue saying the federal government has enough to deal with already saying, quote, our friends in new york six weeks ago passed a statute that said marriage can be between two people of the same sex. he believes in the 10th amendment. stay out of their business. if you live in some other state or particularly if you're the federal government. being of the federal government, still no deal. congressional leaders followed up with the president after more meetings of their own last night. time, as you know, is running out. the federal government is said to start defaulting on loans, possibly, starting on august 2nd. house speaker john boehner says a deal has to be reached by tomorrow in order to get it voted on in time.
3:06 am
but as our kate baldwin now reports, the leaders want a deal even sooner than that for a very specific reason. >> following that dramatic breakdown of negotiations to raise the debt ceiling between president obama and house speaker john boehner, congressional leaders met here late saturday on capitol hill. the house speaker is proposing a $3 trillion to $4 trillion of cuts that would raise the debt ceiling in a two-part process, this according to democratic and republican sources. that two-part process we're told by a democratic congressional aide was seen as a big impact as democratic leaders in the room rejected that idea as democratic leaders and president obama, quite frankly, opposed the idea of any short-term extension. so the negotiations continue. no agreement yet has been reached. we're told one point of agreement of congressional leaders in the room was they wanted to reach an agreement
3:07 am
amongst themselves before asian markets opened sunday. kate baldwin, cnn, capitol hill. the. >> stick around for "state of the union" this morning, candy crowley's guest, treasurer tim geithner. we turn to grand prairie, texas. police believe a man celebrating his own birthday at a roller skating rink opened fire on his party guests. six people are dead, including the shooter and police think he shot himself. four others were injured. some of the victims may have been teenagers. police believe this incident started with a domestic dispute between a husband and a wife. also another horrific story to tell you about in kent, washington. 12 people injured there when a fight led the gunshots. police say it started to words and escalated to shots.
3:08 am
>> they were pointing at people and kids and kids were following and they were running and it was crazy. >> first shot, everybody dropped and everyone started dragging their kids on the floor for them not to get hit. >> police haven't said if any of the suspects are among the injured. also in london, a story that is just a shame. there's still no official calls of death for the 27-year-old soul singer amy winehouse. ♪ they tried to make me go to rehab i won't go, go, go ♪ >> this song you're hearing is probably one you're familiar with and maybe the one she's most famous for in this cup. it seems her battle with alcohol and drugs and addiction, a lot of people speculating may have gotten the better of her here. she was in a constant battle with drug abuse during her career. a lot of celebrities have been commenting.
3:09 am
take a listen to what some of them are saying. rihanna tweeted, quote, she is genuinely heartbroken about the news. also, singer mobley tweeted, after our show in serbia, i wish i'd be an able to. i'm sorry. another one from kelly osbourn saying, i can't even breathe right now i'm crying so hard. i just lost one of my best friends. i love you forever, amy, and will never pretty the real you. an autopsy is expected today or tomorrow. we turn to new york now, nearly a decade after the 9/11 terror attacks. crews move the iconic world trade center cross to its new home. the cross is made of two intersecting steel beams that collapsed in the 9/11 twin towers. yesterday, recovery workers and families were invited to a
3:10 am
ceremonial blessing of that cross. severe weather hitting chicago. a lot of motorists ended up stuck, needed to be helped out. nearly 7 inches of rain did all this yesterday. the flooding closed down parts of expressways, temporarily suspended rail service and caused flight delays at o'hare airport. yesterday was the wettest day in the city's history. and with that, let us say good morning to reynolds wolf. reynolds, we're talking about so much heat and i guess this one went right over my head. i wasn't paying attention to what was happening in chicago. >> this was the left hook while we were taking the right hook from mother nature. the heat wave in parts of the northeast is over. we're going to get a break. however, there's still much of the nation that will be dealing with the extreme heat, high humidity and possibly more showers and storms. >> reynolds, appreciate you, as always. to our viewers now, three days
3:11 am
after nfl team owners approved a new labor agreement, still no word on whether the players are on board. so we're talking to one of the players this morning. to say, hey, are you ready to sign on that dotted line and give us some football? it's ten minutes past the hour on this cnn sunday morning.

3:12 am
good morning to atlanta, georgia. gorgeous shot this morning in atlanta. look at that. what have we got going on in atlanta today? >> basically, a bunch of buildings and skies. >> weatherwise? >> oh, that puts a whole new paint job on things. he just like listening to these tunes, man. the highs going up to the 90s in atlanta today. it will be your typical summer heat. but it's not going to be the oh, my gosh, my face is melting kind of heat. >> okay. >> a break is coming today. that means, unfortunately,
3:13 am
though, more heat for others, but less for people in parts of the northeast. let me show you what is happening here, t.j. we have the area of high pressure affecting millions of americans. what we're going to see is a big, massive heat dome drifting to the northeast. when that happens, it opens the door for the opportunity for cooler air to move into parts of the northeast. it's not a bad arrangement. i'm telling you, if you happen to be in boston, new york, buffalo, detroit or cleveland, you're going to get the scattered showers and with that, possibly some cooler temperatures. but also, you can't rule out the chances of stronger storms. 83 degrees will be your lie in boston, 91 in new york. if you have some showers that pop up in some place webs going to cool you down a bit. 81 degrees in chicago. 67 in san francisco. 84 in seattle. plenty of sunshine in the northwest. 86 in new orleans and 92 in tampa. very quickly, some of the record heat we had yesterday, atlantic
3:14 am
city, 95. norfolk, 103. philadelphia and central park, you see the highs and triple digits. cooler weather is expected for today. t.j., you are up to speed. let's pitch it right back to you. the cooldown is coming and we're all happy and we're better people for it. >> did you hear this? one of the biggest stars in the nfl just got married. >> my gosh. >> look at this. look who we're talking about, folks. ben roethlisberger. yes, there he is, wedding bells for the two-time super bowl winning pittsburgh steelers quarterback. this is the guy a lot of people know, unfortunately, has been -- he's had some issues off the field before, including accusations of assaults with women. still never charged with anything, never convicted of anything, but still, this is his wedding time. there he is with his beautiful bride. but the honeymoon might get cut short because of what's happening with the nfl labor dispute. they might be voting soon.
3:15 am
the owners approved the deal on thursday, but yesterday i spoke with the atlanta falcons republic corey wieier on the proposal and why the players haven't signed off on it yet and the public's misper session about what's going on right now. >> the oernls allowed it to be thought by the general public that a vote would be made thursday and that we could get this settled thursday and that just wasn't the case. we had not even seen the proposal that they had ratified. the last we saw of the proposal was when we had our meeting in d.c. and there were still issues that remained opened. we went ahead and sent that back to the owners and we were supposed to collectively bargain to iron out those issues and they knew that we haven't seen the final proposal that they had ratified, so how can we vote on something that we didn't even know if it was acceptable to us yet. >> they haven't seen it. >> interesting. >> and, again, it's easier for
3:16 am
32 owners to get together and stay on the same page versus 1,900 nfl players to get all the information out, to make sure everybody has a copy of it and can read it. so there was a little confusion. >> do you think we're getting to the point, inspect. >> tired of hearing about it. we haven't lost games yet and the fans are probably not pig all that attention. there will be football. there's also going to be basketball. i am putting in my bid right now discover this story. this is the coolest thing i've heard in some time. college basketball being played on a ship. the u.s. navy has agreed to host the north carolina tar heels and the michigan state spartans a aboard the aircraft carrier carl vinson on november 11th. this was in the works and they finally have finalized this deal. they're going to call it the carrier classic, the ncaa first televised game of the college season.
3:17 am
the ship will be the first to tele vi televise a college basketball game. i don't know how they're going to work this out, but that will be a heck of a scene. >> there's a reason they chose san diego. the weather is pretty calm as far as rain. >> but it's old school, guys go outside and play in parks all the time. >> returning to our roots. >> appreciate you. we'll see reynolds plenty throughout this morning, of course. so our viewers, it's 17 minutes past the hour now. same-sex marriage is now legal in new york. coming up, we'll talk to one of the new york politicians who worked so long and so hard to get this thing passed. and for her, yes, this is definitely personal. low back p. imagine living your life

3:20 am
it became officials. same-sex marriage now legal in the state of new york. this comes after a long battle in the new york state legislature. new york city michael bloomburg supported the legislation and so did the new york city council speaker, christina fisher, who is one of the most openly game political officials. >> that's what happens when you pass laws that expand human rights. you unite people. you make our city stronger, you deepen our dmunt and you have people step forward to help other new yorkers they have never met in their lives. so sunday is going to be a great, great day. where we reaffirm yet again why moving human rights forward is always a good thing for all people. >> and miss quinn joins us this
3:21 am
morning. you seem to be touched by the passion with which you spoke at that moment. what was going through your mind just listening to yourself there? >> you know, it's really remarkable as today is here now. i'm a little bit overwhelmed by it. and every couple hours over the past few days i've heard another amazing story about a couple who has wait add lifetime for this or about judges who are going out to different counties to help couples they've never met. it really is just a most amazing outpouring of party and love sometimes pape for people people don't even know. it's really very overwhelming. miss quinn, put this into perspective for me. some historical perspective for the country, for the city of new york and also for the gay rights movement. >> well, you know, new york will now be the sixth state.
3:22 am
but more important than that, new york is place the entire world looks to. and it's the place where the lgbt civil rights movement was really born. and to have this to date and this city, which -- i don't mean to sound arrogant -- is the center of the world do this will mean all eyes are upon it and i believe it will help move this forward more than any of the others have. >> tell me, ma'am, this is very personal for you. you have been with your partner at least a decade. do i have that right? >> yep. it will be ten years in september. >> it will be ten years in september. do you plan to get married? >> not today, but in the springtime, yeah. >> why not today for you? because i talked to a couple of couples, at least one couple yesterday, they said, you know what? we could have waited, we could have planned out a ceremony, but
3:23 am
we wanted to be part of this historic day. you could have done that, as well. >> well, you know, as the city council speaker, i have the opportunity in a different way to be part of today. and we weren't sure how many people would get to go today so i didn't want to take a spot away from anybody else. and i also kind of want to have that party that we've been thinking of and waiting for for a long time. but you know, getting this bill passed this year was critical. we lost in 2009. and god knows how many parents or friends or siblings now won't get to be at people's weddings. so getting it passed as quickly as we did was important to make sure that folks like my dad and my partner's dad, who were 84 and 85, get to be there at their children's weddings. we're going to have families have an opportunity in their hometown and state to stand up and have their lives affirmed and to plan parties and to plan celebrations and to have their
3:24 am
children see their parents' unions held up by the state they live in. it's a powerful message that all people are equal and that all families matter just the way go the god made them. >> the last thing to you, are we -- i think we'll never get to a point where everybody agrees on same-sex marriage. there will be protests today and might be court challenges down the road, but are we hoping the country gets to a place where you understand or are you resigned to the fact that not everybody, and maybe even a wide majority will agree with same-sex marriage, but is the goal really to just make sure we respect each other? disagree with us, fine, but at least be respectful. >> you know, i believe -- look, first and foremost, you have to respect everybody, whether you agree or disagree, that's what the issue is, america is based on a place where you're free to
3:25 am
think whatever you want. that said, if you look at all the polls, everything is moving in the direction of marriage ee equality being not just accepted, but embraced by america. i believe we are in new york and eventually in the rest of the country where it is the extreme minority of the opinion holders who are against marriage equality. because what happened today? the sun rose in new york. the world kept spinning on its axis. everything moved forward and people stood up and said they loved each other and they wanted to help people affirm their love. that's good. there's nothing bad in that. >> well, miss quinn, i know this has been a long fight for you. congratulations. i know there's certainly another side to this story for a lot of folks, so to you and others, it is a celebration. thank you for taking the time-out and we'll see you down the road, all right? >> absolutely. take care. >> we're at 25 minutes past the hour you know we told but that partial faa shutdown?

we're coming up on the bottom of the hour on this cnn sunday morning. as you may know, federal aviation administration has partially shut down because congress failed to pass a key piece of legislation. it's not supposed to affect operations or safety, but the shutdown has resulted in some lower fares on some airlines. now, how is that possible? the faa has actually stopped collecting taxes on airline tickets. so some airlines are getting those savings and they're passing them on to customers. isn't that night of them? it's about $40 on a $300 round-trip ticket, just to give you an example. passengers, as you can imagine,

3:36 am
together and keep strong. you can't let a court like that stop us. because going on to an island with only youth and securing them and they have no way to escape, that's a courtless act. >> i want to give you a look at some other headlines making news this morning. authorities in los angeles say hey, maybe we have the wrong guy here. police have dropped the charges against manny ramirez and police have arrested two other men and charged them in connection with that attack. both men are expected to be arraigned tomorrow on felony charges of mayhem and assault. three weeks after texas rangers baseball fan fell to his death at the ballpark in arlington, the team has announced it will raise the
3:37 am
height of the guard safety rail. you'll remember, it was earlier this month that firefighter shannon stone died when he fell from the left field railing while trying to catch a ball. retired army general john sakashveile has died from complications of a stroke. he was important in poland. he came to the u.s. as a teenager and reportedly learned english from watching john wayne movies. president obama called him a genuine soldier statesman whose extraordinary life represented the promise of america. the general was 75 years old. listen to this, demand sergeant major jeff medicalinger's impending retirement from the army is going to be tend of an era. he is believed to be the last soldier drafted into military service. mellinger was answering his call
3:38 am
back in 1972. he served in vietnam and the iraq war. more meetings in raising the debt ceiling have brought the same results, nothing. congressional leaders met with president obama yesterday and got together again last night at the table. maybe they are starting to get somewhere. on the table is a republican plan to raise the debt ceiling for the rest of this year, then handle next year later. but democrats and the president say they want any deal to carry through 2012. you know, past the lekelection. that's an important timetable. john king has more now on the politics of the deficit debate. >> we often say elections have zepss and this debt and spending debate is proof positive. if you're surprised or mad at the house republicans for advancing their plan, well, you shouldn't be. we had an selection in november and they won big time with
3:39 am
promises like this. >> spend sg out of control. >> we have to close the flood gates of government spending that threatens your future with a burdensome debt. >> stop wasteful spending. >> the federal government is spending way too much money. >> so as you watch this showdown now, this is what they promised to do. aren't we supposed to be impressed when the politicians keep their promises? let's look at it this way. this is the map the house districts won by 2010 when they took back the majority. the other night, they voted on the cap and plan. that's how the election went. that's the vote. uncut, cap and balance. remember the red? you vote for this, you get this. that's how it turns out. so what's happening in washington is exactly what you voted for last note, except here is the problem. those republicans, and here is a
3:40 am
big question for the republicans going forward. some of you have changed your mind. in january, nearly half of americans said congressional republicans would move the country in the right direction. now, just 37% say that. plus, controlling the house does not translate into controlling washington. and the question now is whether the anti-spending freshman class is really to accept that obvious but perhaps painful civics lesson. >> all right. thanks as always to our john king. we're at 40 minutes past the hour now. what we've been waiting to hear reynolds world say, relief from the massive heat wave is on the way. reynolds is up next. stay with us.
3:42 am
all right. 41 minutes past the hour. reynolds, tell them what they want to hear. >> it's going to end. >> okay. >> we're going to see a little bit of relief. i know you're a fan of warm climates. >> yes. >> you love the heat. >> that's me. >> is this a little too extreme for you? are you done with this? >> you see, i can't complain because i haven't been in some of the areas where it's worst. we're in atlanta. we're used to humidity. but what, 108 in new jersey? >> new jersey, we've had extreme heat in d.c. and new york, places where you don't normally get it. when you travel to warm place webs you expected it. t.j., though, we are going to see some break in the action. let's take a look at the past. some of the temperatures we had yesterday in terms of your record temperatures, atlantic city, 105. norfolk, virginia, 103. washington, d.c., triple digits. same deal in central park and philadelphia. we had the heat spreading is in
3:43 am
in different spots. arkansas, 107. topeka, 106. missouri and new jersey, you see in some of those spots in the triple digits in those locations. we are going to see exchanges getting a little better and the reason why is we have that high moving a bit farther to the south. that's going to allow this area of low pressure and this cold front to drift and sag into the northeast. that's going to make a major difference in your temperatures in parts of new england and new york and perhaps in the mid-atlantic. 94 degrees in washington, d.c. better than yesterday. 94 in denver. rather 94 in memphis and 90 in denver. that's a quick wrap on your forecast. we also talk about the slight chance of seeing storms pop up across the landscape later today. certainly some this morning that will get back pretty soon. t.j. >> republican old, appreciate you, as always. to our viewers, take a look at the screen. what does this look like to you? it looks like an apple store.

this place? and it looks like an apple store, it feels like an apple store. it even smells like an apple store, except it is not an apple store. the how she knows is that apple stores have an apple outside. but this has apple store and you're seeing the inside. but it's apple store spells s v t-o-e-r. it is so perfect, they have a genius location, the staff dr s dresses like they would in an apple store. the staff thinks they're working at a legitimate many apple store but they are not. >> so are these apple products? >> this is where the catch comes in. the products are or appear to be authentic. it's just that the store is not listed as a real apple store. and some of the commercials inside of the store are very
3:49 am
dated. so it is, as you said, the ultimate knockoff. we know about louis vuitton and rolex watches. >> i've never seen a fake louis vuitton store, though. >> it's a new level. >> how soon before they get sued? >> it's interesting. maybe they won't be. in china, you can get fake box ipuds, highphones and i don't think that's what they're selling in the store itself. but you can get anything in china. but we love that it's an ipud. >> an ipud. >> works as well as an ipod. >> same thing, but it goes by a different name. >> apple says they are going to create more legitimate apple

the top of the hour here on this cnn sunday morning. a gorgeous look at new york city, central park and the eyes of the country and maybe even the world on new york city, new york state. because this is the day a lot of people have been waiting for for years. same-sex couples can now legally get married in the state of new york. we will talk to a couple in just a moment and they are just maybe a couple hours away from their wedding. also, there's a new worry about a deadline for the debt talks. the house speaker wants a deal done soon. you know how soon? actually, in a matter of hours before the asian markets open for trading. congressional leaders working round the clock on this sunday, july 24th. good morning to you all. i'm t.j. holmes. thank you so much for spending part of your day here with us. for more than 20 years, joanne shane and dr. kennedy
4:02 am
have been living together as a married couple for 20 years. they won a lottery and that means they get to skin the 24-hour waiting period that's normally required after couples get marriage licenses. that also means they are getting married today. we called them to take some time-out on their wedding day to come and do an interview on national television. joanne and dr. kennedy, it's here. thank you for being with us. how many years, actually? i think i might have been a little off. how many years have you all been together? >> 29. 29 years. >> 29 years. so after being together 29 years, essentially living as a married couple, you get married today, you wake up tomorrow, what's going to even feel different? do you imagine anything? >> i don't think it will feel too different, but we at least get the legal recognition of being married and it's a wonderful thing. >> now, why this day?
4:03 am
you could have waited to put together a ceremony and put together all the planning and all that stuff. i think you're going to have a recession later for the family and friends. but why was it important to be a part of this day? >> you know, this is a really historic day. and we have fought for this day. we've hoped for this day. and this is the first days of history in new york city. gay and lesbian couples can get married. and this is just a wonderful, phenomenal day and we would not miss it. >> and the engagement of 29 years is too long. an engagement of 29 years is too long. >> a 29-year engagement. were you guys -- like you say, 29 years, a lot of people can't imagine that. can you all wrap your heads around and put into some kind of historical perspective what this day means? we've seen several states, the sixth state now, new york, to make same-sex marriage legal.
4:04 am
where does this fall in line for the country and the gay rights movement? >> well, this is huge and it's huge because this is the sixth state and the largest state that recognizes same-sex marriage and from this point we want to call it marriage, actually. and it's huge. it really is huge. and we hope that as new york goes, that so goes the country. >> when did you all kind of make the transition from just hoping, wishing for it, maybe it will happen one day to actually being advocates? what happened to make you all kind of take that turn and kind of get involvement in the fight? >> back in 2004, we saw people getting married and we were scared. but our daughter, alia, who was 15 at the time put it into
4:05 am
perspective for us saying, this is a civil rights movement. this is your opportunity to be part of history. you guys have a great relationship, better than many of the parents of her friends and you should just go for it. so she convinced us and since then, we've been advocates. >> how is your daughter doing today? i guess, what are some of her thoughts on what is happening today? >> oh, she's very excited. she knows this is such an important day and she knows that she played a big part for us to be here today. so we're very grateful to her, as well. >> why was it important, also, to wait on new york to do this? i believe you could have gone do another state and done this if you wanted to, but you wanted to wait for new york. why? >> we're new yorkers. yes, we could have gone to connecticut, we could have gone to massachusetts, but we're new yorkers and we really held out and wanted to -- to have our marriage legal here in new york and have our relationship
4:06 am
recognized here. >> well, ladies, you all tell me, how is this going to go today? you're going down to the courthouse. they say you can start showing up at 8:30. i think you're going down there maybe right after this interview. what is the plan for the day? who will be there? i guess, are you wearing your wedding outfits now? is there a party later? tell me how this is going to go. >> this is it. these are our wedding outfits. we expect there to be a huge crowd and with -- friends will there, i'm sure, and hundreds of other couples and we're just so excited. >> our friend, the judge, is going to marry us and afterwards we're going to go back to our house for a small reception. >> and i assume your daughter will be there. >> oh, yeah, absolutely. >> is she standing in there right now with you guys? >> no, she's not. she is here, but -- >> she's in the studio. >> she's in the studio. >> she'll be one of our witnesses, yes.

4:10 am
of cuts that would raise the debt ceiling in a two-part process, this according to democratic and republican sources. but that two-part process we're told by a democratic congressional aide was seen as a big impasse as democratic leaders in the room rejected that idea as democratic leaderes and president obama, quite frankly, opposed the idea of any short-term extension. so the gotiations. . no agreement yet has been reached. we're told one point of agreement of congressional leaders in the room is they wanted to reach an agreement amongst themselves before asian markets opened on sunday. kate baldwin, cnn, capitol hill. ten minutes past the hour now. don't you hate it when people tell you what you want to hear? reynolds is about to do it and you will appreciate it. >> unless you're a fan of the heat in the northeast, you're going to be miserable. we have a cooldown for you which is great news for people in new york, boston, buffalo. the heat wave will remain

4:15 am
that multi culturalism is the thing that he despises most. it details, for example, how to create bombs from fertilizer without being detected, why it's important to have a farm, which he did, really horrifying details. what's emerging is the fact that in his mind, it appears as though this is just the beginning. he wants to be given a chance through a trial to sort of explain his philosophy, his far right thinking so that he can set the ball rolling on what his grand plan is. and that is, perhaps, why he is not going to plead guilty in this trial, t.j. >> diana magnay for us with these scary details. thank you. we appreciate you once again. it's a quarter past the hour now on this morning cnn. of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience
