and so that's what they've done. >> and we can come and find you, jennifer grey, it's such an honor. >> and there's a facebook page to find out where it is in a city near you, the skinny cow facebook page. >> jennifer grey, thank you so much. and i'm sorry to make you weep. not intentional. >> it was interesting. >> okay, thank you. coming up, guilty as charged. that's how the president of chick-fil-a responded to questions about his company's support of traditional marriage over gay marriage. now the backlash begins. we're all over it, next. home of the brave. ♪ it's where fear goes unwelcomed... ♪ and certain men... find a way to rise above. this is the land of giants. ♪ gu. glory. ram.

do you like your chicken with a side of opposition to same-sex marriage? that is what you're getting at chick-fil-a whether you know it or not. president and ceo dan cathy ignited quite the controversy this past week in an interview with the baptist free service when asked whether his company supports traditional families as opposed to same-sex marriage, here's what he said. i'm going to quote him. "guilty as charged. we are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. we are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. we give god thanks for that." certainly not something you would hear out of ronald mcdonald anytime soon. but dan cathy and his chick-fil-a executives have never shied away from religion and here's what cathy said to cnn more than a year ago. >> the real reason why we're here in this business is to glorify god by being a faithful steward of all that's entrusted to us and have a positive influence on all who come in

contact with chick-fil-a. >> twitter, my twitter, i was tweeting about this, gone crazy over cathy's latest comments on same-sex marriage. we just want to read you a couple of your tweets. david tweets, "i couldn't be more happy that a godly company has the guts to stand firm against haters. the lord bless them." kobo tweets, "this changes nothing. my stomach doesn't understand bigotry. i only disagree with their stance on being closed sundays." and ed helms tweets "chick-fil-a doesn't like gay people? so lame. hate to think what they do to the gay chickens. lost a loyal fan. i'm joined by the host of the ken coleman show. >> good to be here, brooke. >> wow. >> it's a firestorm. >> it's a firestorm. people are calling dan cathy a bigot. the names continue, names i can't even use here on cnn. tell me about your personal experience with him. >> i've got to tell you this.

someone told me this a long time ago, that a man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an opinion. i've interviewed dan twice, i know some of his top leaders. i know what he stands for. he's a great family man. he's a great father. he honors his father. and he's a man that holds his beliefs very, very valuable. and he loves the bible, he loves god, and he talks about that. so what i can tell you is this is not a man who is hateful. i think if people were to spend time with dan personally -- and again, i don't know him very well -- but in two interviews and observation tells me is that people who teach tolerance are being awfully intolerant right now with a good man who has a track record of servant leadership and being a real, authentic man. >> i guess, let me just -- and just to be clear, this was a film interview. you have not talked to him since this blew up. >> no. >> let me play part of your interview with dan cathy, this was june 16th.

>> i think we're abiding god's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him, and say, you know, we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. and i pray god's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude that think that we would -- the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about. >> let me just go back and quote. he says, "we are inviting god's judgment on our nation." doesn't that sound a little uncomfortably close to jerry folwell, pat robertson, what they said, part of the blame on 9/11, gays and lesbians? >> that's for others to decide. i'm not here to defend dan. i'll tell you this, i'll defend his right and anyone who disagrees with him to have an opinion. i think we're at a place in our society where we have to step back and go, hey, it's 2012, brooke, and i don't think it's about what dan says, and i don't think it's about what dan believes. >> you don't think this is about what he said? >> hold on, i think it's about how we act, with people that

maybe we disagree with. so i'm not here to diagram out his comments with, what did we mean. i'm not getting inside his head. but i will tell you, i think we've got to step back and say, let's put the pitchforks down. this goes for people on the right as well. let's pick up some coffee cups. and i'm okay with messy conversations. these-type issues are messy. but i think messy conversations, brooke, lead to productive conversations, which then lead to solutions. so i've got to tell you, to me, it's like, hey, how should we be acting when somebody says something that we disagree with? >> yeah, no. >> is it hateful? is he a bigot? i don't think so. >> let's just get to -- i'm from georgia, i grew up with chick-fil-a, i know they've given so much. they've given this, though, almost $2 million to groups that specifically oppose same-sex marriage. that was 2010. this is a private company, though, and you know what, ken, a lot of people say, it's a private company, if i eat there, great, if i don't want teeat there, great.

get out of my business. >> that's right. and i'm going to come back to where he spends his money and how he believes and how a company acts is really not what we should be focusing on. we need to be focusing on, hey, there are 45% of americans, that means almost half of every american believes, as dan cathy does, on gay marriage. so this is not some extremist view, it's just a man who made a comment or two here or there and he believes what he believes. and while you may be bothered by it, i think we do have to say, wait a second -- >> hang on, though, i know it's his opinion, but it's a fast food restaurant. shouldn't he be trying to gather as many fast food fans as he possibly can. >> he does. have you been to chick-fil-a. >> because according to my twitter feed, he's lost a lot. >> he may have, but i can say as a father of three, we're at chick-fil-a all the time, and i've never seen any hate, i've never seen any discrimination. they serve chicken to everybody. and it happens to be really good chicken. >> let me read this statement, chick-fil-a, today. the chick-fil-a culture and

service tradition in our restaurant is to treat every person with honor, dignity, and respect regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena. key words here, key words, "going forward." if that is the case, shouldn't he stop donating to groups who oppose same-sex marriage? >> i'm not going to speak for that. and it's not for me to comment on that. >> what do you read when you hear "going forward"? >> i read that he's not going to make anymore statements and you won't hear any executives making statements about this. and i'm a question-asker, much like you. i have a radio show every week and i interview a-listers from every walk of society. and i've got to tell you, the question i have is, we want faith out of politics, a lot of liberals do, people on the left, and i've got friends on the left who believe that and friends on the right that believe that as well. but should sex be in politics? and i think we've got to grow up. it's 2012. and can we not have some

civility about someone having an opinion. and by the way, it's okay for you to disagree -- >> i think there are a lot of people that are going to disagree, and i invite, i want hear what you hear on twitter @brookebcnn. i know a lot of people because of the opinions he's espousing, they're saying, heck, no, i'm not providing anymore money to this man and others who absolutely stand behind him. >> i like the messy middle. let's get there and talk about it. >> ken coleman, thank you so much for dropping by and nice to meet you. now, a lot more happening over the next hour, including this. some people are calling it the tipping point in syria, and the question today, where is president bashar al assad and is his government on the verge of collapse? i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. the video is spine-chilling. a 10-year-old girl walking along a philadelphia street when this happens. the girl's safe and now the suspect's been caught. plus, still no clues but

lots of questions over those two missing iowa girls. questions that are hitting a little too close for one of the fathers. >> i'm telling the truth, and they say, you're holding something back, and you're not, what more do you have to talk about? it made me feel like, yeah, they were looking at me like a suspect. and he says it was god's will. george zimmerman gives his account of the trayvon martin killing. it may sway public opinion, but it doesn't sway trayvon martin's parents. >> god did not have a plan for trayvon to die.

i tell mike what i can spend. i do my best to make that wo. we're driving safely. and sue saved money on brakes. now that's personal pricing. that bomb blast in bulgaria that killed five israeli tourists now has an american connection. the bulgarian interior minister said the bomb here, you can see him highlighted, the suspect here in variance video, had a fake driver's license from michigan. that backpack, you see him sort of walking back and forth, he's got it on his back, they believe that's what actually carried the device. the bomber and the bulgarian bus driver also died in that attack. and today some of the survivors of the explosion arrived at an

airport in israel. you can see exactly how they're suffering from this experience. one day later, officials say 36 other israelis were hurt and leaders there are condemning iran for these attacks. >> yesterday's attack in bulgaria was perpetrated by hezbollah, iran's leading terrorist proxy. this attack was part of a global act of terror. >> but iranian officials are dismissing all these accusations here. i want to go straight to atika shubert. she's on the scene of the attack in bull dpgarbulgaria. and atika, how do these investigators know it's a fake -- oh, now i'm being told atika can't hear me. can you hear me? i'm going to go with no and hopefully we can work to get atika back so she can talk a little bit more about this video we've been seeing, about this particular suspect.

again, we are of course, israel, iran, how all that lies. let's continue on. new developments in syria. two hours ago ago, syrian tv showed video of president bashar al assad, you can see the images. broadcast of him yesterday, the first images since yesterday's atta deadly attack on his top officials. this after the u.n. has vetoed sanctions against assad and his regime. [ gunfire ] opposition leaders claim violence in syria today alone has taken more than 90 lives. and it now appears it's not a question of if, but when the assad regime collapses. i spoke with mideast expert andrew tabler about this last hour. here's what he told me. >> i think increasingly welcome it looks like assadill try to shoot his way out of this, but be unable to do so over part of our syrian territory. so you can see the regime's

control shrinking, which it already has in a de facto sense. and with that, you would see some sort of collapse of syria as we know it, at least for the temporary -- in the immediate term. >> there is a lot of fear, andrew, about the stockpile of chemical weaponry that is believed to be inside of syria. and if you can, walk me through the cost and the benefits, if the israelis were to go into syria and try to raid this stock mile, how would that be beneficial, both to israel, to the rest of the world, but also to syria? >> it could be very dangerous, in the sense that you have 45 estimated sites or maybe more that could be bombed and those would kill a lot of civilians in the process. that could backfire politically and strengthen president be shar al assad's hand on his way out. that's why israel's been very, very cautious about this, but of course concerned. >> we now do have atika shubert

to i want to go back to the bomb location in bulgaria. atika, i want to talk a little bit more about this fake michigan license. how do investigators know it was fake? what more do we know about the suspect? >> reporter: well, what the bulgarian interior minister is basically telling us is that just about everything on that card was fake. address, the name, even the photo just didn't match. and this is basically how they know it's false. unfortunately, it doesn't give them anymore clues as to who exactly was the man who carried out this attack. what we do kow is that security video was able to capture video of the suspect wandering around the terminal about an hour before the attack. the eerie thing is, he looks just like any other backpack traveler/tourist, looking up flight schedules. he's got long air, wearing shorts, he's got a backpack and sort of a bag up-front, and authorities here believe that it was that backpack that was filled with explosives when he detonated it. >> atika, what more do you know about what happened yesterday?

did he actually -- we see the video of him in the variance with the backpack on. did he actually get on board the bus? >> reporter: well, let me talk you through what the bulgarian interior minister did with me this afternoon. he gave us a really in depth look, and i'm going to show you by walkingver here just a few seconds. basically, a lot of those tourists were coming off a flight from tel aviv, from there. they kind of walked up this way, and security camera footage saw this happening. they walked up, lined up, and you can probably see behind me over here, a whole bunch of buses lined up. that's where they were going. and apparently the suspect lined up with them along the buses. there was a luggage department underneath the bus, he came over, looked as if he was going to slip off his backpack and that's when he reached down and appeared to detonate. they know this not just because of the video, but because of the impact of the bomb, but also the way the body was found. the head was found 50 meters away, scattered body parts, all seemed to indicate this was a

suicide bombing, and of course, the type of explosive and detonator indicated that this was, indeed, a suicide bombing. >> incredible gruesome, atika shubert, thank you for us, in bulgar bulgaria. we're getting some news into us at cnn, about the fbi raiding offices in trenton, new jersey. we have those details for you next. clear, huh? my nutritional standards are high. i'm not juice or fancy water, i'm different. i've got nine grams of protein. twist my lid. that's three times more than me! twenty-one vitamins and minerals and zero fat! hmmm. you'll bring a lot to the party.

for a bike ride and police have yet to name any suspects, but they have questioned the dad of one of these girls. he says he is flat-out offended by the interrogation. take a listen. >> tell the truth and if you're holding something back and you're not, what else do you have to talk about? keep going over and over and over it. you know? so i don't know. >> did it make you feel like a suspect? >> well, it made me feel, like, yeah, they were looking at me like a suspect. but as far as from what i know, i'm not -- i know -- i know the truth, you know? i know when i'm telling the truth. so, sure, sure it was offensive. >> he says it's offensive. let's talk to jim spellman. he's right there standing near the lake where the fbi will begin, if they haven't already, began searching. we just heard, jim, from daniel, one of the girl's fathers.

he finds it offensive that he's being questioned. at the same time, he and his wife do have criminal records. does that at all play a role in how they're being questioned? >> reporter: i think so, brooke. it's been really interesting to me, because as the investigation has clearly focused more on the family, with daniel there being questioned and walking out of the interrogation, yesterday they did some extra searches of the grandmother's house and they took some computers. as that's been happening, the family has known they would become more of the focus. and they say that they had nothing to do with this. so yesterday, this was very unusual, three of the family members came to me, and they said, we want you to look into our background, because there's this pending case with daniel involving methamphetamine, and we know that the mother of lyric, misty, was in jail again on drug charges and recently had violated her parole and was back in jail. we want you to report on all this, do the background checks, find everything, and report on this and get this out there. because we know it's going to become a topic and we know it had nothing to do with her

disappearance. so we wanted to get that out there as quickly as we can. it's very unusual in a case like that. i've certainly never had anybody come up to me and say, look into this. and these are pending cases, so we had to go -- it wasn't an existing record so we went and found that out. clearly that's informing the way the police approach dealing with them, and appropriately so. i think everyone would agree, even the family. they say, look, we know the police are going to have to do this. as irritating as it is to us, we're going to cooperate. and indeed the police say they've been cooperating. and all the of the searches, they've done without warrants, the family's consented to everything. i think it really shows how little else they have as far as leads go. they had a thousand people out here searching fields and paths and everything. and police say that they found nothing of any value in the investigation. so, therefore, they're focusing on the family. they really need something to change in this case, brooke, to bring these girls home. >> let's talk about the lake behind you. you can tell the water level is so much lower. th've been looking in this lake and the parents say they don't think the girls are at the

lake. they think they've been kidnapped. do we know, has the fbi arrived? where are they looking now? >> reporter: yeah, they've been draining this lake for the last few days now. it went much slower yesterday than they had hoped it would, so they sort of changed their tactic a little bit and they've stopped draining it or they will shortly stop draining it and they have these fbi teams that have two different types of radar, as well as the part of the lake you can see, there are deeper sections, some as deep as 20 feet, that draining wouldn't be able to get to anyway. so they want to leave about 6 feet of water throughout this whole area so they can use their equipment properly. that's the next thing. tomorrow morning, at the latest, they'll start, maybe in later today. >> jim spellman, thank you. a major break this afternoon in this case outf philadelphia that really sends chills down the spine of any parent. i'm talking about the attempted abduction of this 10-year-old girl in south philadelphia, captured here by surveillance cameras. here she was walking home from a store tuesday, holding her 2-year-old brother's hand when a man, you can see it here, see,

in his very first tv interview since he shot and killed 17-year-old trayvon martin, george zimmerman says he is not a race eist, says he is a murderer. and says he cannot second-guess or judge what happened that night because he says, quote, it was in god's plan. jean casarez is a correspondent with "in session" on trutv. jean, let me just read this. cnn reached out to zimmerman's attorney, mark o'mara, just to the see how his client did in the interview. he said, i thought george came across as sincere and it went well. what do you think? good or bad? >> i really try to look at both sides here. and i do think that it is

amazing that the interview was done. because he's facing life in prison. this is a very serious offense. and the credibility of george zimmerman is truly almost the entire case. i think it bore so well for the defense, one part of last night, when he describes the way he was injured. because you picture yourself being pinned under someone and being banged on the concrete, and he talks about that trayvon martin tried to suffocate him, but that is all going to be assessed against the injuries, the gravity of the injuries. there were a lot of questions of fact, but that was probably the strongest point for george zimmerman last night. >> we have a little bit about that struggle, we have some of the sound. let's play it. >> after he couldn't hit my head on the concrete anymore, he started to try to suffocate me. and i continued to take -- push his hands off of my mouth and my nose, particularly because it was excruciating, having a

broken nose and him putting his weight on it. that's the point in time when he started telling me to shut up, shut up, shut up. >> did he say anything? because you said he was talking a lot about the gun? did he say he noticed the gun? >> he said, "you're going to die tonight, [ bleep ]." and took one hand off of my mouth and i felt it going down my chest toward my belt and my holster. and that's when i -- i didn't have anymore time. >> so will that description, because it is contradictory to the 911 call, will that -- let me just say, what kind of impact on anyone's opinion of zimmerman, especially the people who matter most here, the jury pool, how will that impact them? >> it's a good question. i think a lot of people will find him sympathetic last night. i mean, we're not thinking anymore about the money and the codes that he and his wife had in conversation, of what to do with the money that became money that was used in part for his bail. but i think also, the 911 call

emulates from the beginning. that's when it was happening. so that will be the standard. and then you look at the statements he made, the interview he did. because, remember, any of this could come into a court of law. and what inconsistencies are there, because that will help determine whether you believe george zimmerman or not. >> where does this go next? what's the next step in the lel process, jean? >> you know, they have asked for a dismissal of the judge. the defense says that the judge is now biased and he cannot give george zimmerman a fair and impartial trial. and remember, if they do this stand your ground hearing, it's all in the hands of the judge. whether, in fact, grreorge zimmerman was standing his ground and believed he was going to be killed that night. if so, the charges, dismissed right there. it's all over. the prosecution is firing back, saying, we want the judge, we want judge lester. so i think that will be interesting to see the outcome of that. >> wouldn't this be judge number three, that the initial judge recused herself, so this would

be the third judge if he goes away? >> yeah, they're on the second judge now. the first judge recused herself because her husband is a member of the firm that george zimmerman originally went to. a different issue now, but, yes, we'll see if we're on to the third judge. >> jean casarez, thank you. >> thank you. a sting operation recovers a mast masterpiece and the search is on for the real mow nah lisa. but thanks to the htc one x from at&t, with its built in beats audio, every note sounds amazingly clear. ...making it easy to get lost in the music... and, well... rio vista?!!

in this class action lawsuit, we should point out it also names four american citizens who claim that they were targeted by the ma maricopa sheriff office. this lawsuit also seeks to represent every single latino person in maricopa county ever been pulled over by the maricopa sheriff's department while riding in a vehicle. so many people the attorneys can't even count who it would be. they say that latinos in maricopa county because of these crime suppression sweeps are living in fear even if they are here legally. here's what one demonstrator had to say. >> the message is, you know, game over for arpaio. now's the time. we've been putting pressure since 2007 since he got access to 287-g which allowed him to perpetuate these crimes.

but this case is something that's going to change the total wave of how both arpaio and any law official, any sheriff across the nation takes actions and abuses policies, abuses power and violates human rights. >> reporter: now, sheriff arpaio's attorneys in court today saying basically that is nonsense. that all of these law enforcement activities were perfectly legal. that no one arrested, no one who was questioned was targeted because of their race or their ethnicity, brooke. this case is expected to go on until early august. >> until early august. do we know at all in that period of time if sheriff arpaio himself will take the stand? >> we do expect he will be called to the standby the plaintiffs in this case early next week. it is not a jury trial. it's just being heard by one judge. so he will be forced to answer

questions, brooke. >> casey wian, we'll be following that right along with you. and before i let you go, a burger king employee in ohio has been fired after a picture he took went viral. have you seen this? yep. those are his two feet standing on two open bins of lettuce. two other employees were also fired after they posted these pictures online. what is burger king saying? they're saying this "food safety is a top priority for all burger king restaurants. and the company maintains a zero tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question." home vid you you're about to see is like watching a horror movie. you know something bad is happening but you can't always turn around. this car going 70 miles per hour thwrong way. you see this? on the left side? hits someone. a mississippi highway. hits this suv just as the family taking the video feared, the driver had some sort of medical episode we're told. amazingly no serious injuries. frightening stuff. finally, today, a ballpark vendor in the wrong place at the wrong
